What the clintons Have to Say About Their
Game With the Stars.

As can be seen from the following ex-
tract from the Clinton Herald, Monday
the pitcher for the Clintons was an Omaha
boy. The Stars say when they go to
Clinton they want to play the same nine
they had to contend with here and will
stand no more professionals. The Herald
says:
The Association base bail nine of this
city were victorious in the base ball game
at Rock Island, yesterday, over the Stars
of that city, by a score of eleven to five.
The nine left here on the steamer Jose
phine at seven o'clock in the morning,
accompanied by fifty to one hundred
ladies and gentlemen from Clinton and
Lyons who TODD advantage of the occa-
sion for an excursion trip. The early
part of the day was rainy, but it cleared
up at noon and proved delightful there
after. The boat reached Rock Island at
11:20, and after dinner the club and ex-
cursionists proceeded by street car and
dummy to the fair grounds near the city,
where the game was called at half past
two, continuing two hours, and being
witnessed by four or five hundred people
At five o'clock the party boarded the
steamer for home, reaching Clinton short.
ly after midnight, the day on the whole,
beng quite successful. The Clinton
players and their friends are highly pleased
with the courtesies extended to them by
Capt. Conger and the attaches of the boat
and with their hosp1able reception and
treatment at Rock Island
The gam was fairly even and close
contest after the first inning, in which the
Stars were little ratified, and The Gin
tons. by GOODNESS and care, scored six
runs. Mr.. Chas. Monroe, of Omaha.
pitched for the Clintons, and all acquitted
themselves creditably. The remarkably
fine fielding of Mr. Bowen, of the Stars
won high praise, and other excellent feat

ROBBED.

Joseph Mccain is river man OF
elderly appearance. He was in this city
yesterday. and unfortunately for him he
made his headquarters on First avenue.
He had been drinking some-but not a
sufficient amount to intoxicate HMM
Hugh Conwells place. Between fouI
and five O'Clock in the afternoon he went
up stairs and laid down, intending to
take a nap. He had just commenced to
doze, when two men entered the room,
and bouncing upon him took his money
-$33, which he had in his vest pocket
He claimed the men who so nncermom
ously disturbed his sleep, and at the same
time took his money, were Martin O'Cou
nell and John Owens McOann made nc
complaint until this morning, when the
two men accused of the theft were arrest
ed, They were taken to the armory and
searched but protesting their innocence,
and having no money about their per
sons, they were let go.
Thencxt time Mccain strikes this port
he had better steer clear of the levee

A Serious Charge .

MOHne DlSpdLcn.
For several days past there have been
rumors afioat that Edward J. Dahms, city
attorney, had left for the Pacific s tates,
forgetting to call on his creditors and
leaving his partner in the lurch to the
tune Of at least five hundred dollars A
Di spatch reporter this morning stated
out to see what truth there was in the
statement, and we have learned the fol-
lowing: Some-two weeks ago Mr.. Dahms
sold his interest in the partnership
of Dahms & Holland to Mr. Chas
g. Robson, of Galesburg. The
transfer conveyed his entire intesret
in the law land and loan business, also a
half interest in about thirty-two volumes
of law books which constituted the law
library. That same evening Mr.. Dahms
packed up his private property and by
mistake or otherwise, packed up about
nine law books belonging to the new firm.
The next day John Holland thought every
thing was not all right and examined
the partnership books. He found
enough to warrant his going to Davenport
that same evening for for the purpose of
stopping Mr.. Dahms extended western
trip He found Dahms athis fathe $ across
the river and told him that he (Dahms)
had not done right, that he had over
drawn his account and collected money
he had never given the parties
credit for. Dahms said the bank
was closed and that his father had nc
money handy or else he would pay it,
but that he would call the next morning
and that he would then pay the money.
He did come to Moline after that,
but not to Mr.. Hollands office. On
Friday he wrote MI Holland from
Kansas City saying he would be back the
next day and would settle every thing
At the same time he wrote 10 party in
Moline and his father in Davenport that
he was en- route to Portland, Oregon.
Mr.. Holland believing that Dahms might
vet return waited until Monday when he
heard that he was westward IL bond. He
went to John Dahms in Davenport the
young mans father, and asked him
where Ed was Mr. Dahms said he was
on his way west; and when Mr. Holland
| told him how he had deceived and cheated
| taken back. The exact amount of Mr.
Holland is in for can not yet be told, as
there may be more to hear from; but he
is in pretty deep. Mr.. Robson is out
about nine law books Mr. Holland says
he will do nothing about the matter, and
says he can stand the loss much better
than Dahms can the gain. We under.
stand Dahms also left good many other
parties in the lurch. The above is the
statement made from the various sources,
from which our news had been gathered.
| We would like to see Mr.. Uahms come
forward and aisprove the rumors, which
his friends sincerely hope Having thus
removed from the municipality, the City
Attorneyship is of course vacant Mr.
Dahms intended going to Portland, Ore,
gon, where his brother George now is,
| If he is wise he will send back enough
money to clear up his shortcomings

WOULD NOT ALLOW IT.

A party called on Mayor Mott the other
day, to get permission to build a scales
on the street near the gas works. The
mayor would not grant the favor asked,
as the city scales can do all the weighing
that is to be done. Another scales in
that vicinity would interfere with the
city scales, and thus cut off some of the
revenue derived from them, which would
be against the city's interest. Mayor
Mott was right in not granting the per
mission.
