The feud between the Laniers and the
Kirbys of Livingston parish, La, has caused
the death of nine men, three of whom were

Baseball.

The baseball fever is epidemic in Westmin
ster. Lawyers, doctors, bankers, professors,
students, clerks, as well as the small boy have
it. From the cradle to the grave, all are more
or less affected If one is asked where he has
been he will likely reply tout on fly" 1t
is sort of mania, and one is not cured until
hand is split or a finger broken. There
seems to be no other cure.
There was an interesting game on Saturday
afternoon last between nine of the Westmin-
ster Base Ball Association and Western
Maryland College club, on the grounds of the
former, near the Court House. A large num-
Der of persons were present during its pro-
gress. Only six innings were played, owing
to the lateness of the hour, the game resulting
% to l6 in favor of the College club. The
following is the score.
