At Winchester.

This was merely one-sided
batting practice featured by the
lumber jacks-that is the Lewis
ton, Kooskia, Culdesac, Lapwai
and Craigmont men. Winchester
was spiked to the limit with out
side players and dead set on TAX
ing the Nezpercers scalps, which
they did to the tune of is to 3.
Nezperce tried out her new
pitching stock in this game and
great possibilities were shown
Marion Crumpacker took the box
for the first four rounds and
showed up fine for his first ex-
perience. He held the best bat
ters in all the prairie and valley
country down to 5 hits, striking.
out four He had practically no
support and s runs were allowed
during his administration on ac-
count of this. Robertson and
Schlader followed Crumpacker to
the box, both doing their best but
to no avail against the Indians~
Winchester scored several
times nearly every inning and
won an easy victory. One of tho
largest crowds to witness a ball
game in this section was had at
Winchester when a total gate re-
ceipts of over 5000 was taken in.
This ends the base ball season
for Nezperce. Not so bad, lost 2l
out of IL. Home town men were
used this season.
The score:

The first game was the best
because we won--of the series,
with not so much scoring and
perfect fielding records. Nez-
perez got her usual start of two
in the first inning when Henrichs
started with double and came
in on Crumpacker's grounder.
Moser went out on a foul fly and
Schildknecht singled, bringing in
Crumpaclxer.
Kamiah scored in the 3rd and
4th and was then shut out for the
rest of the game. Nezperce roll
led in a score or two almost every
inning until they had piled up a
score of 8 to 2.
Leo Robertson did the twirling
for the home team, holding the
Indians to runs and hits He
pitched really good game and
assisted with almost perfect field
ing made one Of the best show
ings ON record.

Foresters Defeat Green Creek.

The base ball team of the
Catholic Order Of Foresters of
this place took the long end of
the score in right snappy game
here Sunday with the Greencreek
boys. The final count was 7 to
3, but it was nip and tuck
match up to the seventh inning,
with 3 and 3 score. In the last
of the seventh, with two out, the
Foresters stiffened for a batting
rally and put four men over the
plate. Thereafter it was blank
for both sides.
John Seubert and John Schlad-
er did the ritching for the Forest {
ers, while Joe Schmidlkofer
caught. Henry Beckmann and
Tony Walderman did the battery
work for the visitors. Alvin
Caldwell was umpire.
Quite a crowd of fans witness
ed the game and certainly en-
joyed it.

With Grangeville.

This was more of swat fest
than a baseball game. 1t seemed
that the batters were just trying
to practice the fielders, who sure
ly needed it, and drove one after
another to their hands.
Mccoy Hill, the old Indian
stand by, started the twirling
for the Camas Prairie bunch, but
it seemed that he was having an
off day, for in the fourth inning
he was batted clear out of the
box. Henrichs pitched for fhe
locals and did fairly well but he
was lacking in support and did
not show up as good as usual.
Nezperce went down the first
two innings without scoring, and
let Grangeville get lead of six
before they could realize that the
game had started. Things start
ed, though, in the third when
Nezperce rallied and Wade COM
menced the fireworks with a sim
gle. Crumpaclker walked Gas was
the case 4 times up and both
went around a base on Moser's
hit. Henrichs drove a single and
brought in Moser, the rest COM
ing in OH Stcllmon IS two-bagger.
Evans got on with fumbled
grounder and Stellmon came in.
The fourth was just a repetition
of the 3rd, Nezperce making five
scores. Grangeville remained
two scores behind until the 7th,
when they came back and made
three runs. This concluded the
scoring and Nezperce lost 10 to
IL.

JAS. Oatman and Simon Mat
thews, two Nez Perce Indiana of
Kamiah. were arrested in this
city last night by sheriff Smith
on a charge of drunken and dis
orderly conduct, and were held
over in the county Jail pending
trial this morning in Probate
Judge Ellis court.
1t seems the young men had
been attending the Winchester
celebration and there procured a
supply Of firewater and applied
it internally. Becoming well
"lit up" they gave vent to their
feelings in diversways and parti-
cularly in experimenting on the
speed qualities of an Essex car
on the road from Winchester to
Kamiah and back, and it was OH
one of these trips through Nez-
perce that they were overhauled
by Sheriff Smith.
Matthews was fined 5000 in the
probate court heer last March for
drunkenness, but it seems this is
Oatman s first offense.
Sheriff Smith arrested August
Wegner at Kamiah just before
noon and now has him in Jail
here, he being charged by Oat-
man and Matthews with having
sold them the liquor that caused
their trouble.
The county authorities express
their determination of putting a
stop to bootlegging practices in
Lewis county.

Jersey City, July 2.-Jacls
Dempsey knocked out Georges
Carpenter of France in the 4th
round of the most thrilling cham
pionship battle of modern times.
Dempsey won as predicted, but
that doesn t tell the story. The
American was forced to the limit
of his skill. Only his superior
strength and stamina decided the
outcome of the fight, and there
were moments when he needed
every ounce of strength he had,
when he was hard put to it to
keep his bending knees straight
and his feet under him.
There were times when Carp
enters terrific punches wiped
every bit of expression from
Dempsey grim face-every ex-
preston but a fleeting shadow of
bewilderment that any man could
hit him so hard. The Frenchman
has made good every claim for
him. He is a master fighter, a
master mind in body that obeys
every impulse instantly and with
amazing speed and force.
Writing here at the ringside
while the tension of the great
championship bout is slowly sim
mering down, | can say that II
never saw greater fighter
pound for pound, than thel
As for his courage,
no gamer man ever lived.
/ believe he could beat any man
other than Dempsey in America
and there was a moment this af-
ternoon when even grim Jack was
near to being knocked out. AS
for Dempsey, he won because
there is no limit to his grit, cour-
age and determination, and be-
cause physically there is no other
man like him in the world.
The championship battle was
fought before 10000 persons who
filled the huge bowl-like arena
from the ring to the highest
ridge of the far-seat sections.
Prominent Americans were rep
in that great crowd
he greatest that ever assembled
from all over the world for a
sporting event.

Herman Hammer Dead.

Herman Hammer, SO, died sud-
denly of heart failure at the Ho-
tel De France hotel at 10 :35 Fri
day night.
Hammer has been in this To-
cality for seven years, up to two
years ago having been working g
around Nezperce. His only rela-
tives are in the east, but their
names are unknown. just before
his death Hammer started to tell
who his relatives were, but the
information was never complet-
ed.
Although his death was sud-
den, he had been troubled with
ailments Of the heart for several
years. About 8 o'clock Friday
night he walked to the business
district and back with a friend
Shortly after 10 he called anoth-
er guest of the hotel into his
room and complained of being
sick. A physician was called, but
it was found impossible to help
the man who died few moments
after the doctors arrival. The
body was taken to the Vassarl
parlors.- Lewiston Tribune
The deceased was well known
character around Nezperce, where
he had been employd in the Nez-
perez Livery Barn for a number
of years and later sold and dem
onstrated electric health blank
cts hereabouts. He lived much
alone and not a great deal was
known of his personal affairs,
but he was respected by all who
knew him.

Central Ridgers On Vacation.

An auto caravan of folks from
the Mohler and Central Ridga
section passed through Nezperce
this morning EN- route to the
Lowell district at the confluence
of the Lacksaw and Selway riv-
ers for a weeks outing and fish
ing. In the party were the fam
lies of Amos Frederickson, j. C.
Gross, Ed. Elliott and Roy Ge-
bo-some sixteen people-and
from the amount of camping
equipment carried on their six
cars one would judge they were
going prepared to get the most
out of the trip.

Threshing Prices.

The price per bushel for thresh-
ing grain was not agreed upon, it
having come up late in the ses-
sion for discussion, but it was
suggester that 1912 cents might
be about the right figure. This
matter will doubtless be given
conclusive consideration at an
other meeting of farmers and
thresher men to be held here at
an early date.

How Public Health Service
Helping.


there is nothing quite so import
ant as good health, and due care
of the health of childhood means
fewer deformities and distresses
in the maturer years and a fuller
life in every way. How to keep
well is certainly one of the most
important phases of any one 5
education. Lewis county, through
her cooperative work with the
Red Cross, is now giving this
most valuable advantage to her
children, to say nothing of the
benefits accruing to the common
wealth generally through the
public health crusade.
Between the first and second
examination of school children in
the county the following defects
had been remedied: Eyes %,
noses %, throats "a, teeth 173.
There had been three operations
for chronic appendicitis, one uro-
logical operation and one opera
tion to correct deformity caused
by infantile paralysis. Eighty
nine cases of malnutrition had
gained weight until they were ap-
proximately normal. Taking the
results of both examinations, i'll
was interesting to note that 140|
tonsils and 123 adenoids had been
removed.
The awakened interest in
health matters, especially in the
care of the teeth was very graft
flying. One small boy told the
nurse that his family did not have
money enough to buy him al
toothbrush but he was going to
earn ten cents day this summer
and would buy one for himself. |
Then there was a little girl of
seven who announced proudly
that Santa Claus had brought her
4 tooth brush for Christmas. The
of teachers and par
ents in carrying on the Health
Crusade and instituting hot
lunches has been the mainstay of
he county health work in the
schools. Six schools served hot
unches during the winter.
Of course there were some dis
,ouraging groups. In one little
school located in a high, healthy
part Of the county, were found
EN- children very much below par
Five had defective
,yesight; four had an abnormal
hroat condition, and ten had de-

the terms OF the contract. two per
cent was retained by the city as
maintenance, or rather as a guar
antee that the sidewalks would
be in acceptable condition when
the work was done. The sidewalks
have not all proven satisfactory
and, upon report Of the city en-
|gineer. the city council refused to
accept them in full.
In their complaint they accuse
the city engineer of directing and
causing the barricades along cer-
tain sidewalks to be removed,
which was the indirect result Of
the bad surface causing the re-
lection. The plaintiffs have at
tempted settlement with the city
council several times but, under
the terms of the contract and con-
sidering the condition of many of
the sidewalks, the council did not
feel that the plaintiffs had any
thing due them.
