.PR0HTEERS
BOSS PARTIES

Some people say to me: Il ap-
prove your principles. | believe you
would fight to end profiteering and
protect the people, but what could you
accomplish in the Senate?
AS the only woman in the U. S. SEN
ate, | could gain wide publicity for
measures I advocate and could create
national public opinion for them, which
servants of big business in the Senate
dare not ignore This Mr.. Hender-
son has not done and Mr.. Oddie could
not do. Lady Astor, as the only
woman member of Parliament, greatly
influences public opinion i'll England,
and measures she advocates receive
worldwide publicity Neithe Mr..
Oddie or AIr. Henderson, both prac-
tically unknown outside the borders OF
our state, has this power.
You fear an independent could &C
.complish nothing, but say to you
that rthe regular party members you
have sent to the Senate, pledged to
big business programs of both parties.
10 worse than nothing. For example,
by Mr.. Hendcrson's failure to fight the
Cummins- Esch bill and other meas
ares which monopolizc pubic utilities
and natural resources belonging to
you, he has helped big business tight
Ell its hold upon you and increase the
cost OF living. That is all you can eN-
.pect lfrom regular party candidates
like MIR. Oddic and MIR Henderson be-
-asusc they and their parties must
please the proftecrs. As an independ-
ant, ! am free to fight for youI as
producers and consumers. In the
Senate could not be bound by party
leaders or intirnidated by party dis
.ipline. would use my power there
o expose and block bills designated
)y big business to exploit you.
A vote for Oddie or Henderson is
vote worse than thrown away. 1t
vote against your own interests,
or both candidates obey the anti
luated party machine manipulated a.
gainst the people. Protect your own
and your childrens future. Vote for
the Independent who is committed not
% party bosses or big business, but
80 YOU.

the country adjacent to Fallon in
search of an unidentified man who
last night attacked Mrs. Ed. Morgan,
wife Of one of the wealthiest and most
influential ranchers in Churchill lCoun-
ty. The woman's assailant was foiled
by her struggles and the screams on
her ten-year old daughter who was
sleeping in an adjacent room. A farm
hand sleeping in barn near the house
was attracted to the house by the
noise, but the assailant had fled when
he had reached the scene of the troub-
le. A large number of citizens, depu-
tized by Sheriff Way, is in the posse,
and Jack Dalton of the Indian police
is being used as trailer. The theory
is that the man walked to Hazen and
escaped on train 1t is believed that
the attack was made by some one va
milar with the place--Rcno Gazette.
Governor Boyle has offered a re-
ward df 81 900 for the arrest and con-
viction of the assailants of Mrs. Way.

The other occupant of the car, Bea-
trice, the IL year old daughter of Mr..
Bennet3 escaped without scratch.
The party were touring through
the state and stopped in st. Johns
bury about o'clock in the after
noon. After thew left everything
went all right with the car until they
almost reached the top of the hill.
Here Mr.. Bennett attempted to shift
from high into low and the differen
tial gears failed to match. The car i'm
mediately started down the hill and
landed in the ditch and overturn-
ed. The car stonned just below the
sign board and had it zone much far

passengers over the steepest embank

SHERBROOKE
WINS in l6
INNING GAME
st. JOhnsbury Loses in 2 to
| Battle Filled With
Thrills

When a short, be-spectacled lad
named Giboin stepped UP to- bat and
slammed red hot liner safely into
center field at Sherbrooke Saturday
afternoon he put an end to a base
ball game that will go down in local
sporting history as a classic. 1t
ended game that had been a con-
tinuous series OF thrills tor 16 inn
ings with a score of two to one in
favor OF the Canadian city against
the Fairbanks A. A. of st. Johns
bury.
1t would take columns OF space to
do justice to this record breaking
sporting event. Nearly 100 loyal
rooters from st. Johnsbury were on
hand at the Exhibition grounds to
give their home team generous sup
port. Nearly 1000 baseball fans of
.5herbrooke turned out to see the
game.
On July in st. Johnsbury the
SherbroOke team was defeated ny the
i fairbanks players by the score of 5
TO 0. 1t took Sherbrooke 16 innings
OF the hardest kind of baseball to win
from ST. Johnsbury. The third con-
test between these two teams-the
strongest in this part of the country
is now being arranged for.
The game opened by S. Johnsbury
with run in their first frame OF the
first inning. Conner drew q base on
balls. Hoernle slammed out three
bagger scorino Conner Conner who
ran for Hoernle was caught at the
home plate and Sullivan and Swan
famed. This ended st. Johnsburv's
scoring for the 1G innings.
AS the game warmed up and Sher-
brooke failed to get a man around
to third base a feeling of bitterness
and disappointment grasped the
Sherbrooke players. Newton, an ex-
cellent catcher and a hardworking
player, lost his head several times.
First, he blamed the umpire, "Ted"
Brown of Sherbrooke for calling
balls instead of strikes when the
home team was in the field. Follow
ING an argument at the plate he used
abusive language to Woods of St.
Johnsbury with the result that
Woods of st. Johnsbury gave the
Canadian a swift jab in the ribs.
The players intervened and Newton
took off his catcher's outfit and was
for quitting the game. But his fell
low players prevailed on him to re-
sumo and he and Woods shook hands
and Newton went at the "ame again.
Att he end of the first half of the
8th inning the score was 1 to in
St. Johnsbury's favor Vaughan
sent a singing grounder to first
which Slayton was unable to
handle. Vaughan started for second
and on a passed ball and wild
throw to second, scored
The game went the nine innings
without further scoring and into the
extra frames. From the tenth inning
on the contest was a grueling one.
Everytime st. Johnsbury took the
field the Sherbrooke crowd started a
mighty shout and used every means
to rattle McMann, the clever Fair
banks pitcher. who twirled magni
ficent came. He did not allow a base
on balls and struck out nine men.
He had hard luck in the fielding
of his fellow players. What few er-
rors were made were on the first man

TWO NEWPORT

ARE CAPTURED

Turn Over Deserter to
u. S. Navy

The vigilant chief of police at
Plymouth, N. H., has captured the
second member of the quartet of
prisoners, who sawed their way to
freedom at the Orleans County Jail
in Newport last Monday night. The
man, whom the Plymouth chief took
into custody late Friday night, is
Clyde johnson "a deserter froK the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The police Of
fetal refused to turn the prisoner
over to the Newport authorities, de-
claring that he would go to the Ports
mouth Navy Yard Monday and turn
Johnson over to the naval officials
there where he will be courtmartialed
The othel sailor. Henry Neault, de-
serter from the Hampton Roads, Va,
naval station, who was captured at
Little, n. H., bv Deputy Sheriff Stat
ford OF Lyndonville after escaping
from the officer at the latter town,
and who was returned to the New
port Jail, will probably be returned
Monday to the Portsmouth station by
Deputy Sheriff Ora SWEET.
When captured, Johnson was rid
ing a freight train and was arrested
rs a vagrant but when questioned
admitted he was a deserteI and was
placed under arrest as such. He
told the police chief that he was
wanted in Newport for breaking Jail.
He said that the other two men, VIII
bur Clarke of Lowell, Mass, and
Walter Duke of Berlin, N. H., had
fed to Canada. 1t is expected that
Duke will return soon to visit his
parents and will probably be taken.
1t is doubtful if the officers will ap-
prehend Clarke because he is trav-
cling tramp.
