There was a slight mix-up with the players and Umpire- Murphy which for a tunc seetilod to be liable to terminate in n rough-and-tumble fight, but for tunately Such 'was not the case. As long as there Will be ball cantos and umpires there will bo danger of trouble of. this kind. Wo have no apologies to make and pf course detest anything of the kind that happened last Sunday but that won't guarantee that it will not happen again. Base ball excites the players as well as the spectators and when men are in that state of craze they are ready for a fight at all times. That's all there is to base ball most of the time. It's the true American spirit of hilaritv and wc can't live without being scrappy. Elephants and Monkeys On Way to Billings by the press and prominent lecture critics.

A number of our readers have, asked us this question, as it is a prominent issue in the present state campaign. County Option means the enactment of a law that will give all voters of a county the right to vote "Yes" or "No" on the proposition of saloons, or no sa loons in the county. AH incorporated towns have a right to say whether the taloon shall be li censed, or not, but the farmers and ranchmen have no vote on the issue under our present "Local Option" law. All property owners in a couuty help pay taxes with which to defray court costs arising from the liquor traf fic, without receiving any benefit from the saloon license. It is contended by many that this is unfair, as it appears to be taxation without representation. An effort will be made to pass a Couu ty Option law in our next legislatuie. Dr. Allen, dentist.
