Season is on for Summer Fights

The season for summer fights
opened in Grangeville Saturday
with couple of rounds mill"
that was worth coming miles to
see. The debate was pulled off
between a pair of Salmon river
stockmen who were unable to find
enough level ground on the river
on which to stage" a good vigor-
Gus snoot-punching, SO they came
out to the county seat burg where
they could get better toe-hold.
1t turned out rather lucky for
the town, as there wasn't cent
in the city treasury, SO it is report
ed, and the citizens there had been
hoping for some time that some
thing would turn up to provide
funds with which to sprinkle the
streets. This fracas furnished just
the opportunity looked for, and
just as soon as each gladiator"
was fined $25 the street sprinkler
was turned loose until the $50 was
used up.
1t is the intention to put on a
play" of this kind every week or
so during the dry dusty season
over there.

Mr.. Warburg, a naturalized Ameri-

splendid service in building UP the

Wilson paid him an unusual tribute
when his term on the board expired

Mr.. WarburE had been occupying of

home overlooking the grounds of the
famous Chevy Chase Club He also
had town house in the fashionable
Depont circle section-in Eighteenth
street. Typically American as he was
in virtually every other respect, Mr..
WarburS had a large retinue of Ger

the entire lot to the Chevy Chase villa,

over the Maryland State line.
Aside from the fact that all the ser-

affiliated than the other Cabinet wo-

Ger many philanthropic activities
than in functions and festivities.
However. she is a woman of wide
sympathies and keen intelligence.
who. in her many years of residence
in Washington, has made many warm
friends among the most worthwhile
people of the overlapping circles OF
society at the Capital. and she has
always fulfilled the social duties OF
her official position with gracious

time or thought for anything else.
