their second basket ball game oi
the present season, the score be,
ing 21 to IA.
On account Of the gym being
small the players did not have a
chance to show up in individual
work, nor did they have oppor-
tunity to use any formations
against their opponents. Lapwai
fought hard, but was outclassed
both in speed and basket shoot

to break through for trial at
the basket is evidenced by the
fact that at the end of the first
half the score was only 4-3 in ia.

that never lessened until the
whistle blew at the end of the
half, Owing to no tout of

pushing of eachother against the
wall, making the game seeming

gym kept the Nezperce boys from
getting started, but all through

Of the first except that our boys
having gotten used to the small

blow in the eye, making it bleed,
but he recovered after few min

out because of four personal
fouls and was replaced by Her

creditably the rest of the game.

AUToIsTs HAVE NARROW

Marshall Brown and his sister, of
this town, had the narrowest sort of
an escape from serious accident on
Thursday evening of Last week, at
the railroad crossing on East Main
street.
Approaching the crossing Marsh
all, who was at the wheel, failed to
see an approaching freight, and as
it was after seven O'Clock no watch
man was on duty. He ran his ma
chine on the track directly in front
of the train and had gotten almost
across when the engine. which was
running slowly, struck the auto in
the rear. pushing it to one side.
Both rear wheels Of the auto were
mashed down but the machine was
not upset, and other than bad
scare, the occupants escaped un-
harmed. 1t was close call. and
Miss Brown collapsed after the ac-
cident and was placed under ply
sician's care.

o'clock and athletic contests were
held at the ball park.
In the Armory was an exhibition
Of school work, writing, drawing,
sewing, manual training and other
handiwork of pupils, ranging from
the kindergarten to the high school.
The exhibit was a fine one, well ar
ranged and occupying all the avail
able space. 1t reflected credit alike
upon pupils and teachers.
The school from our town was
largely represented and presented a
fine appearance in the parade with
their banners, caps, and markers
worn on the sleeve. The work Of
the pupils on display at the Armory
was also creditable, comparing
favorably with that done by any of
the other schools.
The day was cool and rather dis
agreeable for spectators, hundreds
of whom lined the streets of the
town, but was good march (ing)
weather.
The colored schools of the county
