manded 100000 rubles for unloading
from a car the baggage of Is British
officers and The Associated Press
correspondent when they arrived in
Moscow in July after journey from
Siberia across Russia. 1t had taken
10 minutes for him and dozen other
men to do the work.
The British officers were prisoners.
They had been members of the Allied
railway organization in Siberia under
John F. Stevens, the American engi-
neer, and had been captured by the
Reds at the same time as Colonel
Blunt and his party Of American engi-
neers at Novo- -Nikolaevsk, Siberia, in
November 1919. The Americans had
been released and left Russia through
Vladivostok, but the British officers
were sent to Moscow.

"Who asks 10000 rubles for un-

HORRORS -! OUR.
BANKS ARE ALL.
HET Up OVER THIS.

In response to the challenge of the
First National Bank, the Southern
Trust and Commercial bank, through
their manager, Otto Jaeter, today
announced that they were "as fast as
ever and was ready" to take on said
team during any quiet afternoon their
opponents may see fit.
1t will be remembered that the
Southern Trust last year handed to
the Holtiets, one awful drubbing and
no efforts were made by the victors
during the past few weeks to push
their desire for another contest, but
now that the downtrodden have
shown fighting "spirits," battle will
result.
No date for the game has been set,
but it is suggested that next Sunday
afternoon be the time and the Central
Union high the place, for said con-
test.
The official acceptance of the chal-
lenge is as follows:
"The Southern Trust & Commerce
bank hereby accept the challenge of
the First National Bank to a return
game of baseball and interprets the
I words "for value received" to mean
that the losing team pays for the
dinners! All those who witnessed the
seven inning 44-run game of last
gear which was called on account of
darkness enjoyed the best treat of
the season, and have been enthusias-
tic promoters of a return game 1t
is only suggested that we start a little
earlier so that we may finish the game
or wait until full moon and 40 dark
horse batteries.
"H. c. Bartels, manager of the
Burroughs Adding Machine Co., has
put up an offer of $500 for the first
home run scored and $3.50 Tor the
