4 LITTLE WAR
Over the Boundary Question in Man.
itOha

WINNEPEG, July 2S.-The disputed bounda-
ny question at Lake Of the Woods is culmi-
mating into Il war between the provinces of
Ontario and Manitoba, if it has not already
begun Chief of Police McMurphy and u
Manitoba Constable We're arrested by Onta-
rio specials and lodged in Jail, but were sub
sequent!y releas d ON bail An attempt was
made " sterday to liberate Keys, the Ontario
policeman arrested for selling liqu + on the
Indian reserve. and it took a strong Manitoba
force to guard the luck-up.
1t is feared that the ac ion of Capt b. ecktOn,
a magistrate of the Manitoba gove'1ment,
will precipitate crisis. 1t is understood, in
the event of trouble, that the Manitoba author
tiles will probably receive a very severe hand
ling, as the greater portion of the mill hands
and citizens are in sympathy with Ontario.
Chief Constantine, of the Manitoba provincial
police, has received instructions to swear III
twelve special constables and proceed to Rat
Portage to-day The latest dispatch from the
scene of conflict says three constables were ar
rested last night. one for receiving money I'M
der false pretence and for disOrderly conduct,
and two on IL charge of disOrderly conduct.
The people nearly all favor Ontario, on ac-
count of Magistrate BrocktOn's domineering
conduct as Il magistrate. If constables come
from Winnepeg to assist BrOckton seventy-iivc
men working i'll the mills will act AS c0nsta-
bles for Ontario. Hot work is expected unless
the Dominion government takes charge of the
controversy.

winter the price of hops was forced

before the new crop came in the price
would reach 50. Now, however, Il

1T HAS BEEN unanimously held by
the supreme court of New York that
a strike, however general, is no de-
Tense in law for the failure of rail-
road corporation to perform its duties
to the public, and the law is precisely
the same in the case of a telegraph
company. Hence, the New York
Herald thinks that the Western
Union telegraph company is held
legally responsible for the continu-
ance of a strike of its employees, and
any serious delay or interruption of
its business caused by the strike is
held in law to be due to its own negli'
rence.

Ten days ago a man named Hutchinson

Everything went on smoothly with the

The ironsIdss Win bv the Score OF 10 to l.
Games st Utner PlaHes-Notss Of tho
Bases.
On Saturday afternoon the keystone
club, of Philadelphia, came to this city to
try their luck with the Ironsides, and they
probably now wish they had remained At
home. They fell an easy prey to the home
club, and were defeated by the score of 10
to l. The Keystone is an old club, having
been organized many years ago. Stovey.
knight and other professional players
were once included among its members.
The club has been kept up under that
name through many years. The only real
old member Of the nine now playing with
it is Weathley, who was put at short, on
Saturday. Keen was to have pitched. but
he did not come and it disarranged the
nine. The spectators were not long in
ascertaining that the visitors were unable
to make any showing at all before a team
as strong as the Ironsides. They made
the worst kind of errors in the field, while
at the bat they were weak. Eight of them
struck out on Hofford's pitching, and
the balls that wero allowed to get out of
the diamond were few. They changed
pitchers several times, but it was to no
effect. as they were all pounded over the
field, the Ironsides making no less than II
base hits.
John Malone was chosen umpire, and a
better man to fill The position could not
have been found. His decisions were
prompt and impartial and he pleased both
sides, as we'll rs the spectators. He showed
that he possessed a knowledge of the game
and exercised it. The game was called
promptly at 3:45 by MIR. Malone, with the
Ironsides to the bat. Zecher went out at
first on stop of the short, and HoffOrd at
third by the baseman pretending to throw
the ball to first but holding it. Sweitzer
was retired on fly. OF the visitors Flirks
knocked nice fly which King failed to
got, as it was impossible for him too see
it for the sun, which was shining in his
eyes. The runner was left, however, as
fine stops Of Sweitzer, and Malone on
strikes. In the next inning Winters went
to the bat for the homo team and made
of Kelly and Schiller went between the
legs of tho third basement. Foster and
King went out on flys and Winters and
Schiller came in after Sixsmith's fly had
been muffed in ,centre field. Zecher
brought Sixsmith aud Kelly in, and Win
ters did the same for Zecher, HOfford be-
ing put out st third and Sweitzer left on
base.
Tho home team continued their heavy
batting almost to the end of the game and
Kelly made two two baggers. They scored
runs in all but the seventh and eighth
innings until they had the number given
above. The lone run made by tho visitors
was in tho fourth inning. Weathley made
his first by an overthrow of Sweitzer
and came home on another by Sixsmith to
third. |
The Ir"nsides played q fine game
throughout and the three errors detailed
above were all they made. OF the visiting
nine, Conway the catcher, played fine
game so did Schickler at first. A very
hot ball was taken by tho shortstop and
several by the left fielder. The score in
full is as follows:
