FOXHALL KEENE,
BADLY INJURED,
MAY NEVER RIDE

Foxhall Keene, sportsman, polo
player and one of the foremost
figures in American hunt clubs,
may never ride again!
An accident sustained recently
at the Hartford Hunt club, near
Baltimore, may result in perma-
nent injuries.
Keene was one of the leaders
in organizing a polo team which
defeated the wonderful British
championship quartet two years
ago.
Keene is noted for his reckless
riding and has suffered numerous
injuries in races and hunts.
In January, 1902, he was re-
ported dying in Ireland as the re-
suit of being thrown from a horse
while following the hounds in a
fox hunt and in 1910 he suffered
broken bones when his horse,
Precentor II fell in a race In Mel
ton, England.
His latest injury Is said to be
even more dangerous. Physicians
say he is suffering from a con-
cussion of the brain.

Bob MOha Is
MuSCle-BOund

Bob Moha, the middleweight
fighter, is the real caveman of the
ring today.
Moha is shorter than most light
weights, but is more powerfully
muscled than Jess willard. His
paws are heavy and in some ways
resemble those of Tom Sharkey.
His head is set on his shoulders
with only an apology of a neck.
But Moha, although in many
ways resembles the great Joe
Walcott, can never be great
fighter, because in spite of his
strength he is partly muscle bound
and cannot hit hard enough to
score a Knockout on the big men
he has to face.
Moha strikes a short, choppy
punch which does not carry much
heft with 1t.

ASKS ,CO-OPERAIION
TO BUILD LILLY GRADE
Bull Delegation COnsults With Board
of County Commissioners Yester-
day.

In order to ask the cooperation
of the county in constructing the road
over the Lilly trail grade from BUM
on the line to Jarbidge, the commits
sioners of the Bull Highway district
and a delegation of citizens froW the
westend city waited on the board or
county commissioners yesterday and
laid the matter before them for con-
sideratiOn with the result that the two
boards will visit the line in a few days
for the purpose of attempting to agree
on what should be done.
The Lilly grade is situated within
the boundaries of Twin Falls county
party within and partly outside the
Buhl highway district. According TO
a statute enacted in 1911, in case the
construction, maintenance, repair or
improvement of any highway or por-
ton thereof within a county, and not
included within a highway district il
such county would be for the benefit
of such highway district, if the cost
thereof would, if borne wholly by the
exclude portion-or if the highway
lie wholly or in part within high
way district and it's improvement
would be a benefit to the county as
whole, outside such district, the high
way commissioners and the county
commissioners can get together and
sion or apportionment of the cost of
the required improvement.
The county commissioners had pre-
viously expressed themselves as ia
vorable to the improvement of the Lii
ly trail, and the only questions up for
discussion related to the time for get
ting busy, the proportion of cost to be
borne by the county and district, re-
spectively. and the destination of the
road with reference to the Jarbidge
Eoad.
The Buhl delegation stated that they
had reliable information to the eff
feet that the mining companies at
Jarbidge had determined to lay out a
new line of road coming down the
Jarbidge river to the forks of the Bru-
neau and running north of Three
Creek. This, it is said, would give q
line or road with a grade which might
not exceed eight per cent. On this
line. the route by the Hot Hole would
be avoided. The companies, it is said
will build clear up on the table lane
at a cost of $4,000 This road vii
run at the east side of the east forl
of the Jarbidge river to the mouth
