dropped back to earth with the ball
stuck in his NIT. Winter thinking II
was a safe hit was almost on second
base and was caught by Swigier's
throw to first before he could regain
the initial bag. The catch and play
was the most sensational of the ganae
and about the only one.
With better support ia the second
inning Dougherty, the Lansdowne
pitcher, probably would have held his
opponents to a closer score. The
Kiwanis men had trouble solving his
delivery and he famed several of
them. His support in the second was
ragged and resulted in the six runs
being scored.
The umpires were Wells for Kiwanis
and Boyd for Lansdowne.

CAN NOT STOP RAILWAY TRAINS
For Officers to Search Cars for
Liquor, Says s. /. Official.

The Spokane international railroad
can not respect the wishes of every
sheriff and constable along the line
from Spokane to the Canadian border
in the matter of having the train
searched for liquor, according to
statements made by E. S. Mcpherson,
vice president of the railroad.
Stories have come to Spokane from
points in northern Idaho that the
railroad has refused town authorities
the right to search the train at vari-
Gus points.
I'VE 20 not wish to be discourteous
to the sheriffs nor show disrespect to
their authority, but it is impossible
for us to stop the trains long enough
for these men to search the cars every
time they think there may be bottle
of liquor hidden away somewhere,
said Mr.. Mcpherson.
I'VE are conducting an interstate
railroad and are not obliged to be
bothered in this way. Officials of the
railroad are cooperating with the fed
eral authorities of Washington and
Idaho and with customs officers at
the border in the matter of keeping
our trains from transporting liquor"
