An Avalanche
Casper. Grade 8.

We were on our way home from
Colorado on the train. II was a dark
and cloudy day and made every one
feel sullSy In spite OF the beautiful
scenery.
About our o'clock in the afternoon
we heard a o rumblIng noise. We
thought at first It was thunder. but
rs it did not stop every one thought
It must be an earthquake.
When we looked out OF the window
we saw n landslide coming toward US

hundred feet wide and It seemed to
be taking the whole side Of the noun.
tain with It.
In front OF the train was a tunnel.
II we could get through the tunnel
we would be safe. When inside the
tunnel we could hear the roar of the
slide stll sounding and it seemed
directly above us.
The children were crying and hid
their faces in their mothers skirts TO
keep out the denfening noise. The
train had gone only n few feet from
the tunnel when tho slide struck It
and caved It in md took It with It to
the river below,
The destruction the slide made was
terrible and would hold tho rains up
for several days before II could be
repaired. All tho passengers marveled
at their narrow escape and thought
OF what an exciting adventure TO tell
their friends ut home.

AN INDIAN LEGEND
BY HAZEL WALKER
with Apologies to Longfellow)

In the days of the Indians the Valley of Wyoming was in
habited by the treacherous Mohawks, the mighty Delawares,
the powerful Shoshones and the brave Omahas. White man
had not yet come to disturb these strong and contented tribes
that found these lands SO pleasant, so full of deer, bison,
bears, beavers. eagles and wild fowl. The Great Spirit.

TANNING WITH FARRELL

card.
Never a fast thinker, White never
will have 4 chance as long as the
quick witted, high-speed Drained
Leonard retains his form. Being
clean liver and boxer interest.
ed in his profession there is no rea-
son why the champion should slip
in a year or two years.
There has been some talk of n
match between Leonard and Mickey
Walker for the welterweight cham
pionship. There was also talk ut
one time that Leonard aspired to
become the welterweight champion
and retire as the possessor of two
titles.
In his fight last summer with
Jack Britton, Leonard very OBJ
viously had no great desire for
wclterwcight crown as he deliberate
" fouled Britton and lost the fight
when he had the veteran welter
champion just as good as knocked
out
Some OPINION was expressed open
ly after the Tender fight that
Leonard had deliberately carried
the Philadelphia challenger. Many
wise followers of boxing, includ-
ing Jack Kearns, manager of Jack
Dempsey, believed that Leonard
could have knocked Tender out if
he had really wanted to win that
way.
Leonard may have wanted to
keep Tender on his feet and build
up another big money match with
him for next season, but after the
beating Tender took, spectators
were convinced that Tender is no
match for the champion and is no
LONGER q GOOD card.

NEW YORK, August G.-Benny
Leonard, the worlds lightweight
champion, has ambitions to retire
undefeated from the ring. Only
one champion boxer on the list has
done and he was Jack McAuliffe.
Rather coincidental, lie was light
weight also.
Unless he desires to pick up some
more money that could be gathered
in a number of small purse match
es, there is no need for LeOnar'
to postpone long the time for his
retirement.
The ease with which he eliminat-
ed Lew Tender in their recent fight
from the list of logical contenders
made Leonard so secure in the pos
session of his crown that it is prac-
tically riveted on his head.
The light weight situation as it
now stands was we'll put in the
words of Phil Glassman, Tender 5
manager, who said after, his hope
had been made to look like a novice
by the clever Leonard:
We re out of it for >ycars. Our
only hope is to let age wear the
champion down and then take
him. -
Tenders hopes of becoming cham
pion such as they are, are feeble in
deed. While age is eXacting its
toll from Leonard, Tender can t
expect to be spared of the same
penalty because he is only slightly
younger than the champion.
When the Philadelphia south
paw was eliminated from the list,
Leonard S prospects for future
matches thinned down to the vet
cran, Charley White, and after the
form the champion showed against

Giants Hold To
First Place On
Western Circuit
BY HENRY L. FARRELL
Omitted Press Staff Correspondent

NEW YORK, Aug. 6.-Posses-
session of enough power to always
have gas left for the stiffest grade,
is what makes the New York
Giants one of the greatest ball
clubs.
Time after time in the last sea
sons the Giants have gone into des-
perate situations only to rally out
Of them with brilliant baseball AS
the champions did on their way to
two pennants, they are doing this
years journey toward world
series.
When John McGraw took his
team away from New York for an
invasion through the strong western
cities with n lead of only three
games and pitching staff that
did not look strong enough to hold
up, it was generally accepted among
the critics that the trip would make
or break the champions.
Up to now, with most of their
strongest opposition behind them,
it appears that the Giants are more
likely to be made than broken on
the trip.
They split even with the Cubs,
took the series with the Pirates and
so far they have the two first
games of the series with the Gin
cinnati Reds. They have increas-
ed their lead to five full games
and even if the Reds should win
the remaining games of the serie,
McGraw will take his team to St.
Louis in first place.
The Cardinals are dangerous
ball club but they have been bump
ed around considerably of late. The
Braves have been mauling them
around, and unless they come out
of it the Giants are likely to sweep
the series.
The crippled pitching staff of
the champions apparently is work
ing around in shape. Ryan and
McQuillan turned in two games
against Luque and Rixev, two of
Pat Moran's big three, and only
Pete Donohue is available now for
q shot at another game.
If the Giants get back home with
out losing their lead and it seems
sure now that they will, it looks
like another worlds series in New
York.
Even if the Reds had failed to
make the best of their present op-
portunity it does not mean that
they are out of the race, but it does
mean that they will have. much
harder job to win out.

and perhaps confusing them with
license. They simply feeling
their oats-the hundreds Of thou
sands Of students in Japan and
most of 'cm are kicking around
all over the pasture like a lot of
wild colts. But chances are they II
stay in the lot all right-after
rampaging up and down and kick
ing down the fences.
" Strikes Of japanese students
against professors whom they do
not like have been common in this
country for some time. A class in
mathematics. for example, will hold
a mass meeting, decide the profess
sor is unsatisfactory (for whatever
the reason may be- and 90 on strike
refuse to attend class, until that
professor is removed or until he
eorrects whatever it is to which
the students object.
Happens All Over Japan
That sort of thing has happened
many times all over JaDan in recent
years. But nothing before has hap
pened like the Togo University riot
in Tokyo where students wrecked
the presidents s office. beat him,
and forced him to resign. Toyo is
one Of the largest Buddhist educa-
tiOnal institutions and all the stu
dents are prospective priests.
The trouble there followed upon
the heels of the Waseda Univer-
sitv fracas wlSre students hooted
and drove away the vice minister
of war and high army and navy of
ficers, who wanted to lecture them
On military training. And both
these affairs have been followed by
free speech" meetings of stu
dents-and free fights with the po-
lice-all over Tokyo.
Tt is a great life for japanese
University men these days.

Bard Delegation
Ask Money For
Road Into Yuma

This afternoon a party of ranch
ers from the Bard district visited
the board of supervisors to ask for
an appropriation of 81 900 to en-
able them to improve the road be-
tween the highway bridge at Yuma
and the Bard district Members of
the delegation from the eastern sec
tion Of the county said changes,
which the railroad company is
making in the vicinity of Yuma,
make it necessary for them to build
q road through part of the Indian
reservation, and if the county
appropriates 81 900 at this time, the
railroad will contribute similar
amount and thus give the Bard
ranchers a good road into Yuma,
the only market they have.
The Bard residents are loyal to
Imperial county and though they
have sufficient reason to resent
the lack of attention accorded them
in county matters, they have never
registered any complaint. Cne of
the party today said they seldom
see anyone from Imperial county
except at election time, and though
they are compelled by their geog-
raphical position to do all their
business in Arizona, they are for
California and Imperial county, first
last and all the time.
Included in the party are w. C.
Ross, f. P. Farrar. S. NJ. Coleby,
II. L. Robinson, j. w. Blackwell, j.
NJ. Atkins, w. w. Parkman, w. H.
Miller, and j. Homer Smith.
A the time of going to press, the
, Bard delegation was still in ses-
sion with the supervisors.
This morning the supervisors
voted to purchase Cadillac cal
for the sheriff s office, thus en-.
abling Sheriff Gillett to feel that

TOKYO, Aug. 6.-Strikes and
rioting among japanese students
have been becoming more frequent
and serious recently.
Government officials, newspapers
and leaders in almost every field
are wondering whether "pcw ia
pan, is going to kick out of the
traces altogether.
Students of one of the big rcli-
gious universities of Tokyo recent
ly mobbed their president, wreck
ed his office, beat him up thorough
", forced him to sign Il resigna-
tion touched in humiIiating terms
and made the resignation stick.
The University has a new president
and the students have consented to
resume their studies.
1t is almost a daily occurrence
for various groups of university
students in Tokyo to hold free
speech meetings, with large
crowds in attendance. They speak
freely, too, and they fight the cops
to do 50, If necesSary-as 1t often
is.
Universities Under Guard
Heavy reservoirs of police are now
guarding three Tokyo Universities
and plain-clothes detectives are
trailing hundreds of students who
are ring leaders in the uItra-inde-
pendence movement that has swept
the japanese university student
world like wildfire.
The whole thing seems to be
merely the reaction of the youth of
q people, bound always heretofore
by restrictions and conventions of
extreme rigidity, and now for the
first time learning something of
what liberty and democracy mean
