Daws of Norris, man- ager of the Norris, Bozeman Tel- ephone Co., was in Toston this week on business connected with the telephone line, recently in- stalled by his company. Arilliam Henry Babcock, the seven year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Fred Babcock, died Saturday noon of Infantile Paralysis. The little fellow was sick but a few days and his death was a shock to his parents and friends. Fu- neral services were held by Rev- erend Hoskins, Monday morning and the remains were laid to rest at Deep Creek cemetery. The parents have the sympathy of the entire community in their bereavement. On Sunday, August 7th, at the home of the brides mother, occurred the marriage of Miss Violet Burton to Raymond Ad- ams. The bride is the eldest daugh- ter of Mrs. Robert Lang of this place and is well and favorably known to the people of this com- munity, where she has grown from childhood to womanhood and is in every way fitted to as- sume the duties of the life she has chosen. The groom is the. son of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Adams of Had- donfield, N. J. He canfe west about three years ago and- has resided in Toston during most of that time. He has made many friends here, by his many good traits of character, and is in ev- ery way worthy of the bride he has won. The young couple were the re- cipient of many beautiful and costly presents. They will start house -keeping at once in the Lorentz residence just across the river from Tos- ton. That they may enjoy to the fullest, the many blessings of a happy married life, is the wish of their many friends. The Toston .'\Giants\ exper- ienced little difficulty in taming the Winston \Tigers\ here Sun- day. The \Tigers\ were never dangerous and only Showed their \teeth\ in thern second inning when the \Giants\ carelessness allowed them two scores. The \Giants\ certainly had their bat- ting clothes on and from the 2nd inning until the close of the game the fusillade was terrific. Doubles and triples and home runs were common occurrences. The final score was 23 to 2 in favor of Toston. The non- ap- pearance of two or three Helena men, who were signed up for the occasion, weakened the Winston team to some extent but we be- lieve it wonld have taken more than two or three men to change the result of Stin.lay's game, JOHN G.

The first half of the game was fast and snappy with the Tigers main- taining the lead, and for a time it looked as if the Giants would be defeated but in the fifth inning they caught the batting fever and from then to the finish there was no hope for the Tigers. Winston Ntifls handicapped by the absence of three scheduled players who were considered to have no equal outside the leagues, among them was the pitcher, although II. L.
