Boys dressed in short pants, shirts
and green neckties; and girls in print
dresses and green ribbons tied around
their heads were seen hurrying to the
junior high school gymnasium Satur-
day evening. These AS freshmen were
to be initiated
Upon arriving in the gymnasium the
sophomores gave them lecture on be-
ing good sports.
Each freshman was then blindfolded
and lead up three flights of stairs.
Stationed at each flight was a pad

When they arrived in the high school
gymnasium each person was sent down
the chute. On the cheek of each fresh
man was painted an IF"
Last but perhaps the most trying part
of the initiation was when each fresh
man had to dance with one of his
classmates.

Yam Sentenced To
Life Imprisonment

George Vandcrvich, who shot and
killed Mr. and Mrs Oscar M. Hald-
erson and Fred r. Smith at the Still
water Inn, is miles west Of Whitefish,
on August Is, was sentenced to life
imprisonment by Judge G. W. Pomeroy
Monday morning, says the Kalispell
Inter Lake.
The crime for which he was SEN
fenced was the murder of Mrs. Hald-
erson, to which he pleaded guilty a
short time ago. When asked If there
was any reason why sentence should
not be pronounced he replied there
was none, and he was apparently UNI
perturbed when sentence was passed.
1t is reported that men who knew
him well say that Vandervich has an
extremely vicious nature. On one
occasion it is said that he was working
at tie camp, and was disturbed by
the talking of two men in the bunk
above him. He commanded them to
keep still, and when they did not heed
it, he fired shot up through their
bed. Another man who was in the
bunk house demonstrated with Wander
vich for shooting, and shot at his
feet was the only reply he received.
There are many accounts of similar
episodes in the logging camps of the
upper Saltwater region.
Shot Halderson in Self Defense
Sheriff Ripke says Vandervich told
him he did not remember shooting
Mrs. Halderson, but declares that he
shot Halderson in self-defense. He ex-
pressed no regret for either of these
murders but has been greatly dis
turbed over the killing Of Smith. It
is said that he has been in Jail here,
and has failed greatly in health.

MUD PUDDLES.

Mud puddles.

Such is the human mind; it is merely a

times it is entirely muddy. There are

Decision In
Boxing Bout
Wins Over Colored Boy
From Portland by IMAM
imous Vote Of Judges. !.
BIG ATTENDANCE
OF FIGHT FANS
by E N. b.


Last Saturday night the Libby Ana
teur Athletic Club put on a show in
the Kootenai opera house, which was
well attended and demonstrates that
boxing bouts are wen liked in this
town.
The first number on the card WIS q
battle royal betwee6 six Of Libbys
coming fighters. In fact they demon
strated to the crowd that they were
already here. The boys were all anxious
and willing to mix it at all times and
kept the crowd on their toes. The
little fellows took poke at everyone
in sight After three rounds of fast and
furious mixing during which time two
OF the scrappers were lifted out Of the
ring by the referee, AL Baumgart, who
was handling the fighters, called the
bout draw and raised the hands Of
the four remaining fighters. Personal
ly we think that Monk Saunders
should have been given the nod. With
only four in the ring three of the lit
tie fellows decided they could do q
better job If they would gang up 50
they decided that Monk was their meat
and hoped unto him. Monk was able
to take care Of himself. He backed into
a corner and gave receipt for every
blow he took. It was grand battle and
every one present gave the kids q big
hand.
The second preliminary was . three
round bout between One Round Hogan
Of Libby and the Troy flash, Lester
Coffman. Hogan was outclassed and no
match for the fast Troy boy. Coffman
chased his man all over the ring land
ing punches when ever he wanted to,
and that was a plenty. Seldom If ever
will you run into fellow that shows
the class Of Coffman. He Is fast, tricky
and carries punch in both nits. Coff-
man made hit with the crowd and no
doubt will b featured on the next
card Watch Aiz. shnv CoEfmAn H
comes from fighting stock. With thu
proper coaching he Is going b 50 Z
long way. He is conner sure.
The third bout was four fast rounds
between Byde Lamey and Young
Schagel Of Eureka. Both boys were up
on their toes and gave the crowd their
moneys worth. They were both will
ing to mix However, after the first
round Byde had things pretty much his
own way. Schagel did not train for the
bout and was not able TO stand the
fast pace that Byde set Lamey had his
man out on his feet a couple Of times.
Why he didn't finish him no one seems
to know. These fellows played basket
ball and football when they were go
ing to school, and it may be that Byde

TIM SAYS:

The Mill Office Team recaptured the
cup trophy last Friday evening. It had
been in the hands of the Court House
team the previous week and now is
back in the Mill Office. This is the
second time the cup has been won by
this team and they only have to win
it two times more to retain it. The
nearest competition was that of the
Firemen who were only four strokes
behind, the score for the Mill Office
team being 227 and that Of the Fire
men al.
This decided improvement of the
Tirernen is due to Archie Hoffman do
ing some tall practcing. He is hardly
ever seen at his office. He is positive
that the trophy will be placed in his
store window on Mineral avenue fol
the coming week.

tered the tournament to give addec

CHICAGO, March 1.-THE Staying

version of ganglands ride" today added
fresh crimson blotches to Chicago's
crime record.
Scarcely half block from her home
the body of Mrs Ida NJ. Doyle. 61-year-
old Republican election judge, was
found yesterday in a South Side alley
the skull crushed by heavy blows.
Her bruised hands and torn clothes
bespoke her futile struggle against rob-
berry and death. A purse containing a
few dollars and the check she had re-
csived several hours before for her regis
tration day work was missing. gold
band wedding ring. torn from her finger
by the slayer-robber, was found in a
nearby yard.
Several hours later the body Of John
CThe Billiken) Rito, gangster and
racketeer. was found floating in the
north branch of the Chicago River.
Wrapped in blanket and trussed up
with wire, prayer book and rosary
in coat pocket and the hands mock
ingly folded as in prayer, Rito'S body
showed traces of torture, stabbing and
beating. A wire loop had slipped its
mooring on the river bottom and a
coroner's physician said he had been
in the water about two weeks.
There were two bullet wounds in
Rito's head and steel-cased bullet was
lodged in the temple. This was given
to Col Calvin Goddard ballistics expert
in the hope of tracing the eXecutioner's

another episode in the battle between

In the prayer book, with Rito's
initials in gold, a passage was marked
