Tournament
Attracts Many
Locals Defeat Wibaux Team
on Local Alleys by Narrow
Margin. LeaSue to be
Formed.
One of the most exciting
bowling tournaments ever
staged in this section took
place on the Bailer alleys on
-Sunday aftrnoon when the
Wibaux team, winners in the
first encounter, were defeated
by the Beach team by the nar
row margin of four pins. The
'winning of the first game by
the locals by the margin of 79
pins materially aided the Beach
aggregation in ekeing out a
final victory. In the games
that followed, the Wibaux
bunch led the locals by a mar
gin of fifty and 25 pins res"
pectively. Harry Smith led
the locals in the total number
of pins, securing 512 pins in
the three games. Jones for
Wibaux led the visitors, secur
ing a total of 505 pins. The
highest individual score dur
ing the matinee was made by
Smith, who scored 194 pins.
He was closely followed by
Jones, whose highest
was 187.

H. J. Darby, who resides
on his farm near Yates, reports
a yield of wheat of forty bu

largest yield reported so far in
this section and clearly exem

Junction Found With Bulgari'
an Army in Northeastern
Serbia and Shipment of Mu
nitions to Start Soon.
London, Oct. 28.—The Ger
man army which crossed the
Danube at Orozva has joined
hands with the Bulgarians,
who invaded Serbia near Pra
hovo, and the central powers
now have an open road
through northeastern Serbia
and Bulgaria to the Aegean
sea and Constantinople. They
are thus in a position to send
guns and munitions by river
end railway to their Bulgarian
and Turkish allies, who will
be greatly strengthened there
by.
The invasion of the northern
portions of Serbia by the Aus
tro-Germans continues while
Bulgaria is putting forth
strong effort to secure control
of additional sections of the
Belgrade-Saloniki railway.
So far as the north is con
cerned, Serbia, it is feared by
her allies, is doomed, but in
the south, reinforced by the
British and French who are
now fighting by her side, Ser
bia is using all of her strength
to throw the Bulgarians back.
After the French victory at
Kirovolak, the Serbians, a
cording to the Athens report,
were able to reoccupy Veles,
an important railway and road
junction just south of Uskup,
where a big battle is still
progress.
It is argued here that if the
Bulgarians can be held in the
south until Anglo-French rein
forcements, which are now on
the way, arrive, Bulgaria may
yet be robbed of Macedonia,
on which she has set her heart.
But the allies will also have to
attempt to block the German
road to Turkey and their big
attack may be directed else
where.

ALLEGED BOOTLEGGED
IN TOILS O FTHE LAW.
Raymond Bruce, of the Am
erican restaurant, located on
Blanche street, this city, will
be made to appear tomorrow
before Justice Stoddard upon
information filed by States At
torney Waldron and Sheriff
Smith to answer to the charge
of having illegally sold intox"
icating liquors in the city. His
bond has been fixed at $200.
Bruce will in all probability
plead guilty.
In spite of the fact that ex
ample was made of bootleg

States Attorney Waldron,
Sheriff Smith and his depu
ties have kept a close watch
in order that the state prohibi
tion laws are observed. The
last instance is the one which
has been under surveillance
for some time by the officials
and will in all probability
further exemplify the fact that
a close watch is constantly
kept upon all violators of the
law.
If reports are true, it will
not be long before several oth"
er violators will be made to
appear to answer to similar
charges made by the officials
who are not unmindful of their
official duties.

Town Capitulated Without Res'

tain 'Marms' RiSht Royally.
A bevy of "school marms"
from the Beach schools, to the
number of ten, descended up"
on Medora Saturday morning,
capturing the town and all
therein contained at one fell
swoop. Realizing the futility
of resistance, the town gallant
ly capitulated, swung wide its
doors and a royal entertain
ment for which the old "cow
town" is famous, followed.
Automobiles were furnished
by hospitable citizens, and an
expedition of exploration fol
lowed to the country tributary
to the historic village.
The burning coal mine was
one of the interesting places,
The cavernous depths of the
Nichols coal mine, with the
genial Nels himself as guide,
was explored. The Custer

lore of the .days when the re"
doubtable T. R. held forth,
and which housed many a dis
tinctive gathering frcm earth's
remote corners, when punch
ers crooked elbows with
dukes and slept under the
same blankets under starry
skies as they took turns at
night-herding the restive kine,
furnished not a few thrills.
In those days the old cow
town housed a motley throng.
It was the hunting mecca of
the rich, nobility from*abroad,
and romantic naturesgener
al who found there a retreat
from the restraint of quiet
places—or from the grasping
tentacles of an outraged law.
Some of the latter citizenry
gazing with envious eyes upon
his neighbor's cattle, sought,
under cover of night, to in
crease their personal fortunes
by the simple mathematical
process of subtraction, a pro
ceeding frowned upon ^nd dis
couraged by a mysterious com
mittee noted for the quietude,
sureness and dispatch with
which it performed its duty.
In such cases, the morning'
sun often shone upon a quiet
figure suspended at length
from a convenient tree-limb,
while the wind softly hummed
a last requiem to the departed
through the leafy boughs. In
those days, the law was not
confined to books.
With Miss Verachik as
g' :le, the party visited the
IV. quis DeMores mansion,
where they were guests of
Judge and Mrs. Foley, old pio"
neers of the town. The Judge
has been caretaker of the De
Mores estate for many years,
and though the house is never
the scene of jollity and merri
ment as in the old days, and
'though in all probability the
family never again will occupy
it as a home, its equipage has
?een kept for years intact as
on the day they went away.
Except for the many remind
ers of a period long past, the
visitor imagines that the fami
ly are but temporarily absent,
and may be back at any mom
ent.

The Sara Ruth Bates Co.
that entertained at the opera
house on Saturday evening
rendered a very pleasing en

vocal and instrumental, was
worthy of special comment.
Miss Bates rendered several
very interesting readings,
chief of which was a sketch,
"The Silent System."
Among the musicians, Miss
Curtis, violinist, clearly dem
onstrated that she is an artist.
Her rendering of the Russian
lullaby and La Polonaise were
especially well received. Mr.
Barbour's baritone voice,
which is a near approach to a
tentor, was worthy of

The story is well seasoned
about the college youth, who
has acquired, though little
learning, an impenetrable coat
of brass which enables him to

his own game of pickles,
thereby winning the girl and
the paternal adoption into the
business, and the film registers
the spirit of youth and good
fun for which Mr. Ade is fam

through the same firm that
handles The Spoilers, The Es

promises a real treat.

During the week work was
started on the installation of
a new boiler and generator for
the local electric light plant.
The new boiler will be of two

capacity and will be placed
along side the boiler that is
now in operation. Aside from
the boiler and new apparatus
will be an additional generat
or which will be necessary as
soon as the electric service is

The work on the Sentinel

completed. The wiring has
been finished in the residences
and business houses in Senti"

electric service will be afford

will in all probability be af
forded by November 15.
The advent of electric serv"

F-4 Catastrophy
Rusted Rivets Cause of III
Fated Boat's Death Plunge.
—Brave Men Stayed at
Their Posts Until Hope Had
Fled. Findings Reveal
Tragic Drama.
Washington, Oct. 27. A
graphic story of the battle for
life waged in vain 300 feet be
neath the surface of the sea by
the 21 men who perished in
the navy submarine F-4 last
March at Honolulu is told in
the final report on the loss of
the vessel submitted by a board
of inquiry headed by Rear Ad
miral Busch and made public
today.
Examination of the wrecked
hull after it has been brought
to the surface and placed in
dry dock convinced the board
that the disaster was caused
by a leak resulting from a cor
roded battery lining, and the
failure of the boat through
poor diving qualities to res
pond promptly to the rudder
change which should have re
turned her to the surface. Dis
carding the theory once ad
vanced that chlorine gas
brought quick relief in death to
the crew the board, from signs
within the rusted and battered
hulk, pieced out in its report a
dramatic account of how the
doomed men strove desperate
ly to save themselves as their
vessel sank to the bottom,
fifteen met death in the en
gine room, where they sought
»efuge at the last. Six died at
their posts in the flooded for
ward compartment. AH mem
bers of the ship's company are
