THEY FALL on THE PIEEY FLAT BOYS
AND EAT THEM UP.
The game between the "Reds" and
the Piney Flatsboys, at Piney Flats last
Saturday could hardly be termed a
match game. The hometeam fell an ae
sy victim to the "sluggers." King was
pounded terribly from the first and
had to yield thethe box to Faw in
the the fourth inning. The longest
hits Of the day We're off Of Faw
and the constant fire was kept
up until the visitors had
made "a scores, rafting the home
teams so they decided to call the game
on the fifth inning. When the home
team found they could not amuse the
"sluggers" in the field they changed
their tactics and tried torun them down
at the bat. King and Faw did the best
work both at the bat and in the field
for the home team, Kings three Dagger
being the longest ball hit on their side
The "sluggers" got in their heavy
work all through the game. Victor
crossed the plate twice on home run
hits, and Lyle knocked the longes
ball ever batted on the grounds but i
was called a foul by the umpire. Pat
toms work behind the bat for the visi
tors was the feature of the game. Th'
Captain Of the home team threw VI
the game on the fifth inning. Fol
lowing is the score.

Eminent physicians in Europe and

expected the visitation OF thatdreadful

the blood aud system should be in the
healthiest possible condition in order to
even hope for recovery if once attacked

The opportunities to secure gov
ernment land are becoming daily
less. The man who would secure n
farm, a home for himself and family
are passing away much faster than
is supposed by those who are not in
the west to witness the filings on
Uncle Sans domain, and it is safe
to say two years from this date will
find every piece of government land
suitable to farm east of the Rocky
Mountains taken by settlers. The
crowded east with high priced lands
and low wages affords the poor man
no chance to get home or secure
for himself the greatest of boons,
resting place in old age. To be sure
the first few years on 4 claim is a
life far from ease, but patience and
toll bring about good fruit, and be-
fore the end the laborer can say well
done.
