MOSCOW HIGH LOST
TO C0EUR D'ALENE
SECOND TEAM WORN OUT BY TWO
HARD FOUGHT GAMES LOSES
THE THIRD

Last Saturday night the Coeur
Alene basketeers defeated Coach Wer
rill's second team by score of 31-16
The game was witnessed by the larg-
est crowd ever seen at a basketball
game on the Coeur d'Alene floor.
The game was Moscow's for the
first ten minutes, but the strain OF
the two previous games began to tell
Occur d'Alene gradually forged ahead
owing to the injuries of Gardner and
Smith. Smith had his shoulder dis
Hocated in the first period of the
Wallace game, and Gardner could not
cover the floor to any advantage ow-
ing to a very badly sprained ankle
received in the Kellogg game.
Taking this all in consideration the
scrubs gave Occur d'Alene one of the
best fights ever staged in Occur d
Alene. The game was very rough
throughout, there being 18 personal
fouls called on Coeur d'Alene while
Moscow received seven. Gardner and
Fallquist did not perform we'll on the
foul line only shooting out of 20
tries.
James Keane of Wallace refereed
all three games. Coach Werrell and
his men speak very highly of the Wal
lace team and the treatment received
while in the city.
The Wallace team was not as heavy
as Coeur d'Alene or Kellogg, but they
played real basketball. The game
there was clean and hard fought.
Wallace should be congratulated on
the sportsman like conduct which was
shown throughout, both by the high
school and townspeople. There was
no side line jeering, as has been ex-
perienced elsewhere.
The Moscow high school student
body is very proud of their second
team and the show it made against
the northern cities, considering there
was not even a first team substitute
with the team.
Those who made the trip are Har-
old Cornelison, Francis Fallquist (cap-
tain), Walter Gardner, Oron Smith,
Leroy Thompson, Gloyd Sheets, and
Coach Werrill. Oron Smith will not
be in uniform again this year owing
to his shoulder.

MOSCOW HOME
IS DESTROYED
WOMEN BURNED
MRS. BERTHA FRENG AND MISS
NAY AUNT SUFFER SERI-
GUS INJURY
MORNING BLAZE
FRED STEWART RESCUES LITTLE
DAUGHTER OF MRS. FRENG
UNHURT

An early morning blaze destroyed
the home of Mrs. Bertha Freng at
221 East A street and seriously burn
ed Mrs. Freng and Miss May Aunt, who
rooms with her. Both women are en-
ployed in Childers confectionery store.
They are today being cared for at
the home of Ort Beardsley. Mrs.
Freng suffered terrible burns about
the face, her eyes being badly injured.
Miss Aunt was burned about the face
and mouth.
The fire started from a defective
fue. 1t was discovered about o'clock
in a partition back of small stove
used for heating purposes. The par
tition was afire and it was thought they
had it entirely extinguished, but the
lower rooms were so filled with smoke
that the women and two children of
Mrs. Freng went to the upper floor
to spend the remainder of the night.
That the fire had not been entirely
extinguished is evidenced by the fact
that about $50 the women were again
awakened by flames bursting into
their rooms. The telephone wires be-
ing down, due to the heavy snow of
Saturday night, the son of Mrs. Freng,
aged about 10 years, was sent to sound
an alarm and the women hastily gath
cred up some clothing which was pack
ed in trunks and tried to save what
they could. But they remained too
long and a partition wall fell in and
they were surrounded by flames
through which they fought their way.
Fred Stewart rescued Mrs. Freng's
little daughter, who was not injured
in the least. She is being cared for
at the home of Mr.. Stewart. Mrs.
Freng's burns are painful and it is
feared her eyes are injured.
The furniture owned by Mrs. Freng
was insured for a small part Of its
.ea1 value. 1t is not known whether |
he house, which was owned by the
Mcguire estate, carried any insurance.
Iost of the furniture was destroyed. |

southern Idaho, Boise, Twin Falls and
Aberdeen, now comprise the entry list
in the state interscholastic basketball
tournament which is to be staged un-
der university auspices Friday and
Saturday.
Up to Saturday night the speedy
Rupert five had been believed the
most capable quintet in it's section,
but a decisive defeat administered by
Twin Falls shattered the champion
ship aspirations which Rupert had
been nurturing.

evening ARRAYS will determine one

MAY PAROLE MEN
TO WORK ON FARMS
GOVERNOR ALEXANDER CON-
SIDERS RELEASING MEN
FROM PENITENTIARY

To relieve the shortage of labor on
farms Governor Alexander is SER
iously considering the paroling of a
number of convicts who have served
portion of their sentence, to permit
them to work on farms during the
coming season. The governor be-
lieves that many worthy men may
be helped to become good citizens
again and that the increased produc-
tion of crops due to their labor will
be great help to the state and
nation. He said:
"I shall lay before the board" the
question of granting many of these
prisoners a chance to earn a living
to support their families and help the
food production of the country with
their labors and thereby help win the
war.
There will not be a general order
turning out all prisoners. A man
who commits murder, assaults a wo-
man or a child, plumbers treasury
or bank, although he may be well
supplied in worldly goods, will not
get much consideration from me.
"The poor, unfortunate fellow,
forced into petty crime, but who
pleaded guilty because he was asked
to and who had no funds to employ
a lawyer, is the man I am looking
for. am trying to see the good that
is in man and develop that good
for his own benefit. I expect to
make careful investigation of the
convicts in the penitentiary to find
those able-bodied men who can be
trusted to work on the outside"

These smart-looking pumps come In
black and dark mahogany-colored
