does not state whether the applicant was
a member of a trades-unien or a labor
league, and that point Is of small conse-
quence. III unlon or league were driv-

duty to leave it. If he alone was re-

thah criminal act to refuse to labor
for his wife and children, because he was
not offered quite as much for his work as
he thought he ought to have. A healthy

A LOST B,BY.
How o California Mother Who Would Dance was
Badly Scared.

| A ball was given at Camptonville,
| Yuba county, California, on New
| Years eve, which was attended by a
| certain lady who resides some distance
from that place. She had q BABY that
could not be left at home. Arriving at
Camptonville early in the evening with
her baby, she put up at the Globe hotel,
kept by one Jones. She told Jones she
was desirous OF attending the ball if she
could find some one who would take
care of her baby. Jones. being an ac-
commodating fellow, proposed that he
! would "lather The young un" al interim.
The lady accepted the offer with joy,
and putting the babe to sleep, laid it
down gently in jones' bed, and then
went to the ball. Up to midnight Jones
made frequent visits to the room 10 at
tend to the wants Of his precious
charge. From that hour the babe, so lar
as Jones or its mother was concerned,
was left alone, for Jones iell a victim to
sleep. 1t happened, however, that the
stage driver was asleep in room nearly
opposite the one occupied by the babe.
About one O'Clock A, NJ, says the North
San Juan Times, the babe began to cry
teariuliy, and TO appcase it the stage
driver took it to his own ped, and kept it
quiet the remainder of the night. lie was
up and Oft by daybreak, before the

before any one was stirring i'll the house,
leaving the babe fast asleep in his own
bed. An hour later the ball broke up,
and the mother returned to the hotel.
She went straight to Jones' room to see
her babe. Lo! and behold! it was not
there-neither was Jones. Soon the
whole house was in an uproar, and
search was made for the missing babe,
but all in van. In the meanJlme the
whole town was startled by the iniorma-
ton that child had been stolen and
carried away. Finally it was remem-
bered that the stage-drlver had slept IN
the house that night, and that ne possi-
bly, might know something OF the miss
ing child. He was telegraphed to on
the subject, to DOwnievllle, and in the
course OF u few minutes reply was re-
ceived from him, which read as follows.
"Frank .Rapin-You will find the child
in my bed at the hotel" On the recep-
ton Of the telegram The mother rushed
frantically to the stage-driver's room
and found her precious babe lying in his
bed last asleep. Nearly everybody in
Camptonville got drunk that day rejoic-
ing over the event.

R,s. RaI,-Troy vs.. Hiawalha.

The game Of base ball between the Troy and Hiawaha
clubs which had been long in Of arrangement
was played at Highland last Thursday and as we pre-
dicted last week easily by Troy. Our boys bat
ted spIenddly throughout the game and their fielding
was good with the exception Of the second and third in
nng in viii oh they played poorly to let their Oppo
nents make nine of the fourteen runs they made Not
mere than two three of these nine earned
In the six innings however, their fielding was so
arp that the Hawathans could get in but four runs
We believe the club would not have made six runs
in the game had Revie the regular pitcher played his
usual position but after the first inning they oiec ted to
his pitching and though the umpire decided his pitch fair
the Troy club through courtesy substituted Close as
pitcher Reve taking third base. The Hawatha club is
composed strong ablebodieG fellows, but they will
have to practice good deal yet before they play ball
much. Mr. Scott Thomas OF Highland chosen um-
pre and filled that position to the satisfaction Of both
clubs About 200 ladies and gentleman from Highland
and vicinity from Troy, Severance and Hiawatha, wit
messed the game. About the haPpiest noticed ON
the grounds after the victory of the Troy boys was Uncle
Charley Highly. He swung his hat and cheered with
