DOWNEN WRITES INSURANCE.
ASK REFUND OF FORFEIT
Through their attorney. M. S. Ja
mar, Loveland & Watts, local con
tractors, have asked the city for a
refund of the $140 cash good faith
bond forfeited to the city when the
contractors failed to enter into final
contract with the city for the con
struction of concrete sidewalks on
East Main and Spring streets after
their bid had been accepted by the
city. The check for $110 was at
tached to the bid, representing five
per cent of the contract price. The
contractors claim that they did not
know the conditions under which the
Improvement was to be made, and
believed that the city, rather than
the abutting property owners, would
be responsible for the payment for
tho work. When they learned the
true conditions of the contract they
refused to do the work and the con
tract was awarded to the next high
est bidder, the city retaining the
"good faith" bond. Action on the
request has been deferred by the
city council until a future meeting.

LI.MAN HIGH BOYS
DEFEATED CI_ABKSTON
Last Friday the Pullman high
school football team played Clark
ston high on the Clarkston field. In
this game the Pullman team showed
Its mettle. The two teams were
evenly matched in weight and speed,
but Clarkston had an advantage In
age. They averaged i'_ years to
the man older than Pullman.
Pullman received on the first
kick-off and completely rushed the
('lark ton boys off their feet. They
carried the ball down the field by
successive line plunges and end runs,
making from three to 15 yards to a
down. Nash carried the ball over
for a touchdown within four minutes
after tin- game began. Goal was
kicked by Nash.
Clarkston received and Pullman
held them for downs. Pullman again
ran the hill down the field for an
other touchdown. This time the
punt-out was missed and only six
points were scored. In the second
quarter Nash received a forward
pass and ran 50 yards for a touch
down. Goal was kicked.
In the second half Clarkston made
several good sains with the forward
pass, hut were not able to back them
up with other plays and soon lost
the ball. Pullman, not being able
to make the necessary yardage, punt
ed. Clarkston fumbled the punt and
Emerson picked it up and ran 40
yards for a touchdown. Nash kicked
goal.
In the last quarter Pullman ran
tin- ball down to the 25-yard line
and Nash made a goal from the field
by a drop-kick. Clarkson kicked off
and Pullman was rapidly pushing
the pigskin down the field for an
other touchdown when time was
called. The score stood 30 to 0 in
favor of man.
If this same punch is manifested
by the Pullman boys tomorrow
against Colfax for the county cham
pionship if will be a line game.
