BASE BALL SEASON CLOSED.

Manager Ben Laier of the Nezperce
base ball team stated Tuesday thar
SO far as our regular team is con
cerned, the 1923 base ball season is
closed. The approach of the harvest
season finds most of the local players
too busy with farm work, or at some
employment incident thereto, to give
any time to the game.
This community is proud of the
team which represented it in the ma
tional sport this year It was an all
home talent bunch, and not only did
it pull down the pemnant in the
Prairie Valley League, but it did very
creditable work ln the several aex-
hibitions games played. What was ac-
complished by our club was not done
for pay, but FOR the glory of the old
home community, in that spirit Of
tine sportsmanship that appeals
and makes base ball really our nation
game.
The players who have seen the sea
son through and to whom the credit
is due for the fine record made are
as follows:
John schlader, Henry Gertje, Ed.
Braun, Norbert Medved, Ralph Stell-
non, Ed. Kinzer. Clarence Henrichs,
Elmer Ralstin and Ward Evans.
Each did his full share, but out
standing in the bunch is John Schla-
Ter, the young pitcher, whose per-
'ormance was exceptional and con
istent through every game and who
ives promise of being about the best
his section ever produced.

ROY WALTERS HAS MARROW Es.
CAPE

Roy Walters, formerly the well
known manager of the G. G. 6. store
at this place and now employed by
big mercantile establishment at
Olathe, Kansas, had very narrow
escape from being crushed by tree
which was blown over his car during
a Kansas wind storm on Wednesday
of last week, according to information
in letter received last night by AL.
bert Huff, Mr.. Walters brother-in-
law. "
Mr.. Walters had taken his family
out to the farm home Of his wife s
parents to spend the day, and their
ear was left standing in the yard.
Later a storm blew up and Roy went
out to drive the car into shed. just
before he reached the shed maple
tree three and q half feet through
was blown oyer catching his car amid
ships, but its fall was stayed by a
smaller walnut tree on the opposite
side of the car preventing serious
damage. Much of the tree had to be
cut away, however, before the ear
could be extricated.

Wallace, Idaho, July ls-The town
OF Mace, Idaho, and the business sec.
ton of Burke, together with the sur,
face buildings of the Hecla mine, were
in runins tonight as the result of a
fire that broke out in the former
town this afternoon and was brought
under control only after it had caused
damage Estimated at $l,OO0,00O to
81 100000
The few residences in Burke east of
the Tiger shaft of the Hecla mine
were all that remained standing of
the two towns. The homeless. esti-
mated at l,2O0, were being cared for
tonight at tho Tiger hotel, boarding
house of the Hecla mine, and the
Red Cross was serving them with
meals and coffee. Arrangements were
made for a supply Of army tents from
Fort George Wright, near Spokane.
All the miners on shift in the Hecla
when the fire approached the outer
workings succeeded in getting out of
the shaft. Between 500 and 900 en-
ploycs OF the Heca mine were out Of
work, II was stated, and il was ex-
pected that il would be several months
before the buildings could be recon
structed and the property be put in
operation.
Because of high wind that drove
the flames from the residence in
Mace, where they originated, up the
narrow canyon to Burke, dynamiting
failed TO halt the eonfiagration. Ii
Sas not until the wind turned, whip
oing the flames back upon their own
oath, that the fire was brought under
