His physician warned him, he said that to take further chances would risk the loss of his arm. The Yankee star spent most of this morning in the office of his physician, who was reported as hopeful of pre- venting further spread of the infection which settled into the players elbow after a slight injury in one of the early games of the series.
 Minor Operations
 Several minor operations have been performed on the abscess which de- veloped. Ruth said his medical ad- visors were afraid that any use of the arm would over stimulate drainage with the possibility of very grave con At their hotel this morning Mrs. Babe Ruth said her husband would attend today's game and was hope full of seeing the series through, add ing that the champion home run swatter was as confident as ever that his team would win the worlds cham pionship.
 Frisch Hits 500
 The Giants, despite their setback, were not without sparkling achieve mer1ts Frisch kept up his remarkable stick work. holding his series mark at 500 by touching Hoyt for two singles in his four appearances at the plate. Long George Kelly shuffled off what ever had been aflicting his batting power -nd made three hits. His back band grab of Pipps hopper in the ninth was one of the fielding gems of the day.

Mr. and Mrs. G. C. McPeek and
children who left Payette last April
fer California, rather expecting to
make that state their home, have re-
turned to Payette, arriving here by
auto last Saturday afternoon with a
feeling of great satisfaction at being
back in the state of Idaho Mr.. Nc
Peek's statement to us upon his re-
turn was that the only real people
live in the state of Idaho, and that he
would rather be printers devil in
Idaho than the manager of a railroad
in California.
We are glad to welcome Mr.. Nc
Peek and family back to Idaho. and
only hope they will decide to again
make Payette, Idaho, their home. Mr..
McPeek is thorough business man
and is fully capable of handling any
line of business he may undertake.
They expect to permanently settle at
some place in Southwestern Idaho.

YEAR OLD PDODIGAL.

Sheriff Jefteris had rather an in
teresting experience Wednesday
while at New Plymouth on official
business. A young lad II years of
age had been lettering in the COM
munity for several days, seemingly
without a home or friends, he was
clad in blue overalls, blue shirt, wore
a cap and bare-footed, red-headed
and in filthy condition. The Sher-
iff questioned the lad, and was told
his name was Orley Adams, that he
was living with his folks in a tent
some three miles from town, that
his mother had gone to Weiser and
his father TO Boise, and that they
were there to work in the fruit, hut
the Sheriff not being fully satisfied
took the lad and endeavored to locate
the tent, but after driving about the
country for some time, no tent was
found. Mr.. Jefferies being ConvinC-
ed the lads story was false, brought
him to Payette where he was taken
TO the home of Mrs. Hattie Baker.

and shirt, and filled with holesom"
food for the first time in two weeks.
While the sturdy little chap stuck to
his story. it was learned that evening
from message sent from Apple Val
ley. that he had disappeared from
his home at that place on the 18th of
August. and that diligent search had
been made for his whereabouts,
Searching parties had even dragged
the river for his body. During the
boys absence from home he had lived
principally on melons and fruit until
the dirt and juice had chapel the
skin about his mouth rendering him
in a pitiable condition. His father
arrived this morning and returned
happy man with the prodigal son.
The lads true name was Ray Hamil-

date has been set for Tuesday, Sept

pioneers of nearly 40 years ago Will
form a line of march thru the streets
of Payette "on the pavement where
once they tramped the dust and sage
brush, to Second Avenue North and
back, thence to the picnic grounds.
1t will perhaps be interesting 10
the people of this city and community
to know who of their friends and
acquaintances were among the early
settlers of this place, and who were
largely responsible for the starting
of our now beautiful city. There are
not many left who participated in
those days of hardship and priyation, {
when the laws were principally

1t might also be interesting to
know how the old town of Boomer /.

railroad ties for the construction OF
the railroad which was soon to be
