The town was given over to the Ital-ians last Friday when a great pageant and demonstration was given in honor of the third anniversary of Italy's en-trance into the war. The parade was perhaps the largest and best of the kind ever held in Binghatn Elaborate preparations had been made for the occasion and nothing was overlooked which would contribute to Its success. The business houses were closed from 10 to 11 in the morning and the street was thickly lined with people. ; Tho parade started at 10 from Can-yon hall. Lubeck'a band furnished the ' music and marched in front of the procession. Then came the beautiful acuta decorated witH iz&Uiclic colors, The American and Italian flags were everywhere in evidence. Along with the parade was a very large flag car-ried by a number of girls wearing Rod Cross uniforms. As this flag passed along the streets the people on either Bide tossed money Into It generoiiFly v and when the trip was completed the nmount contributed in this manner leached $448.28. The parade was from Canyon hall to Copperfield, and after returning, made the trip to Highland Boy and 'Phoenix. Illustrating the work of the v Red Cross there was an ambulance la the procession on which was a sick and wounded ioldier who was being administered to in a most solicitioua manner by Red Cross nurses. This sc'.dier was John Rino and he acted the part well, but he aaya he got mJghty tired of the long-rid- e. Still he enjoyed the treatment accorded hi in . by the nurses, While the parade was under the dt rection of the Italians of the camp it was by no means an exclusive affair and everybody joined in and contrib-uted in making it a succet-s- . The great majority of the people here were sur-prised at the splendid manner In which the great pageant was carried out and the comments were made on every hand that it was the biggest thing of the kind ever seen In Bing- ham. rORLY 500 DRAFT SLACK-- x BB III IB BIREtiAM Only Two Deserters Found Out of This Large Number, and Thirty-tw- o Others Held to Iinvestigatipn Before the Examin-ing Board Those to Be Held for Trial Are Largely Austrian Miners Many Innocent Citizens Arrested Falsely, But Released in a Short Time One Man Attempts to Beat It, But Is Captured in Auto Stage When Attempting to Leave Camp. ', There was some surprise in iBing-- . ham Wednesday evening . when Sher-iff John S, Corlessi and about 100 depu-ties suddenly appeared in iBingham without notice. A regular train of. automobiles brought them to town, Practically every man on the sheriff's force was here. The people did not ' know the officers were coming, and they wondered what was going to hap-pen, but they did not have to wait long for the deputies at once started to work and commenced to lick up every fellow that they thought might be In a position, to render sirvice In the army. The officers felt that they were going to dd a land office business so . they brought along with them a mem-ber of the editorial staff of the Salt Lake Tribune to be sure that they v would get a good WTiteup. They commenced to arrest fellows right and left and in a little while there was a great crowd in the Com-mercial Club awaiting their turn to stand trial. The court was conducted by Captain F. V. (John)-Fitzgera- ld, private secretary to the governor, and C. W. Aldrich, chairman of the local draft board. In the roundup there were 478 men and 32 of these were W" ; h-i- ( for further Investigation, and two Ui(Ki'd in to Salt Lake as de-- , " aertera.' " ' 1. The men brought to trial appeared very nervous and they were question-iL- y ea in a very interesting manner by Captain Fitzgerald, iHe would first ask the name of the defendant and then call for his classification and registration cards. Very few of the men carried their credential with them, but the greater part were pre-pare- d to have their cards in short J order. A large number of the for-eigners expressed a willingness to join the American army, but there were a few who said that they preferred to be returned to their native country. The men were instructed that they should always carry their classifica-tion on their person in order that' they might be In a position to present them to an officer at any time, There were quite a number of men over and under the draft age who were arrested es the officers were anxious to get everybody in court who looked like he might pass inspection. One man, who is evidently over the draft age, and was sauntering along pleasantly with his lady love, was ac-costed by a deputy and In spit of the most reasonable protests was carried to the club rooms. This man, of course, soon found the high sheriff and was . let go. There were quite a number of young men in the camp who the officers failed to pick up and they are Inclined to boast of the fact that they were not molested. The districts included in the round-up were iBingham, Copperfield and Highland !Boy and they werj all pretty well combed. The object of this mat- - , ter was to find out who the men were who did not have their cards, and to find If any had been classified wrong. There were very few Americans caught up. In fact there are very few Americans in Bingham now between the ages of 21 and 3il, and practically all of them are married men. Th two deserters taken in were James Caravanus and Bsteban Buste-za- . The former made an effort to get away after, being taken to the Com-mercial Club, but was caught again before he got out of the canyon. The latter, who is a Mexican, held what appeared to be a bogus registration card from the state of New York. The raid was planned about a week ago and was kept a profound secret, only the most trusted officers of the sheriff's force and the newspaper men being let in on the secret. Deputy Sheriff Cayias, who took a leading part In the big roundup here ome months ago of allegede bootleg-gers, was with the bunch and acted as interpreter. WEDNESDAY WILL BE REGISTRATION DAY HERE . C. W. Aldrlch of Garfield, who was In town Weduesdpy, said that the reg-istration for all young men In Bing-ham, Copperfield and Highland Boy districts, who have attained the nge of 21 since June 5 last year, will be held in the Commercial Club next Wednes-day. v The registration will be conducted by (Prof. iL.. Wu Nielsen and will be open for registrants from 7 in the morning until 9 in the evening Also the lLark district will be in-cluded In this list. So all young men from Lark and the entire Bingham camp proper will be expected to report next Wednesdy. BIUM IAN IS STAIECOIHDER OF MACCABEES I, M.

The betteries of the two teams were Whitley and Nicklos for one Bide and Ed Shaw and Joe Cush: man for the other. The game went nine innings and there was some fast playing and hard hitting on both teams. The i.Miners won by a score of 10 to 9. Next Sunday Bingham will play Tooele here. The game will be called at 3:30, and this promises to be the best game of the season, as Bingham Is out for revenge for their defeat In Toole, Way 19. The Tooele team Is composed of some professional play-ers, and with Ambrose pitching for them and with Len Scott behind the bat it sure looks like Bingham would have to do some fast playing to win, but Manager De'Laney claims the boys are practicing hard, and if they lose will blame no cne but themselves.
