MAUD S. A CARSON HoRsE.-We always
believed that Maud S. would prove phenom-
iAal trotter, but must confess that :1OA as
tonished us. We can now recollect how she
used to spin round Carson bearing on her back
the carrier of the APPEAL as she went up one
street and down the other. We are little
sorry that we sold her, but it is rather late in
the day to grumble.

A TREMENDOUS FIRR-The Ere which be-
gan two weeks age in the mountains near

ing over q large tract Of country. 1t is now
estimated that over twenty square miles have
been burned. and the ere is still slowly creep

a slow, smelaering fire, which attacks the
stumps and underbrush, and eats it's way

injury done was to the second growth timber.
The land will be improved for grazing pur-
poses. The FIRE is likely to last until rain or
snow falls Should strong east wind spring
up it would be likely to get into Marlette's
timber. Every building in May berrys camp
except small clubhouse was consumed Thurs.
day night. There was a large store and
warehouse standing. The flames licked them
up in ten minutes. The camp was abandoned
last spring and the property was nearly worth
less. Most all of Nsyberry's fume has been
burned. Wilson worked hard to save his
corral at Maybsrrys last Thursday, and sue
ceeded in keeping the flames away from it.

that they have no chance with Carson, will

| THE UMP1RE.-The duties of an umpire at
baseball match are anything but pleasant
In the latter part Of the season umpires are
as scarce as hens teeth frem the simple fact
| that no man in his right senses will accept
the position twice. Billy Mann has tried it
and is quite emphatic, mot to say prefane, in re-
marking that he will net act again for lsve or
money. The Enterprise accuses him of all
sorts Of unfairness, but the general impress
sion is that he tried to act fairly and was fully
as gssd as the average umpire. It is MOTTO
able fact that the umpire always gets cursed
by the losing club, and the more the club is
beaten the founder they curse the umpire. 1t
is therefore quite fortunate for Mr.. Mann
that the Resolutes were defeated No more. 1t
seems a pity that game Of baseball cannot
be played in Carson without the petty wrang.
lings which have characterized the spert this
season. The game is supposed to be played
for amusement and the development of nerve,
muscle and health. It is ungentlemanlY to
accuse an umpire of unfairness and any resort
to trickery in the game is contemplate and
unnanly. If the Resolutes think they were
cheated out Of their henors by designing
umpire they have little respect for themselves
if they play with the Sscials again. If the
Socials believe their victory was honestly wen
they can best rebuke the slurs cast upon
them BY the Resolutes by having no more to
do with them. The game should be played
~
altogether. The Resslutes really owe tho
5ocials an apology for what has appeared in
tho Virginia papers.

pect to continue to decline, to enter the race

work before me to finish our new home, and
until that is accomplished it would be unjust
