The White Pine news. [volume] (Treasure City, Nev.) 1868-1906, 1870-06-18

The March GAME.-We have already
announced that another Base Ball Club
has been formed in this city. The new
ones have not as yet adopted a name:
SO, IN order to write Understandings
about them. We shall call them the
Shuttle Foots. Well, the Pogonips and
the Shuttle Foots will play a match game
tomorrow for n keg of lager, or some
thing of that sort, and the honor of the
thing. Both Clubs have been sedulously
practising all the week and it would be
hard to predict which Club will be trump.
At any rate the game will be a lively and
interesting one. g..
MUcH SOUGHT AFTER.-The reputa-
ton of our District abroad must be i'm
proving. We do not mean to say that a
Juror exists to flock to White Pine. The
arrivals by the stages do not prove every
thing. The best population hat we ever
had was that which came on foot.
Whilst everybody has been looking for
full stages, possible incoming pedestri-
ans have been overlooked. We yester-
day met the f%orerunner of the next large
influx. He proved to be an old 40
friend, and. like most travellers of that
epoch, he was footsore and weary; but
he has reached the promised land, and
will soon be happy and content.
TESTING HosE.-The Chief Engineer
tested the capacity of the hose belonging
to the Fire Department, on Thursday
afternoon. A stronger force of water
was let OF by the Illapah Company than
usual, and the hose withstood 1t admir-
ably. Nozzle squirting was done to an
astonishing distance, and a perpendicu-
lar stream was thrown higher than there
will be any particular necessity for dur
ing the existence of u present archi-
teetural elevations. The test was a thor
ough one, and all the old fremen were
highly pleased with the strength of their
hose.
ACCIDENTAL little girl, the daughter
of Mr.. George w. Rutherford, met with
n painful accident last evening. While
playing in the vicinity Of Mr.. W. w.
Hobart's residence, she fell, striking her
head against the edge of the stoop, and
cutting a deep, long cash in the forehead,
just above the left eye. A surgeon was
called TO sew and dress the painful,
though not serious wound.
GONE TO Horse HEAvEN-Old John,
the Water Gompany's alarm horse, died

brute was he. and knew his business
