habits are methodical, and he is in
every way we'll qualified and well fitted
for the Office, to which he would do
credit.
Mr.. Cheek is staunch and active
Republican Of the true blue kind, and
has done the party large service by his
speeches at public meetings, during
the Presidential and State campaigns.
Wherever he goes he creates the
greatest of enthusiasm among the
people and is the recipient of numer-
Gus highly complimentary 7otices from
the press. He was gallant soldier
a number of the old sixth regiment
that did such heroic service for the
country in those perilous days from
'6l to '65-and was discharged on
account of a wound received in the
line of active duty. He would receive
an immense backing from the soldier
element of the comm on-wealth, as well
as from the Republicans in every sec
ton OF the state. He will have the
undivided support Of the Republicans
OF Sank county in the State convention
and we believe his name would add az
much strength to the ticket than thai
of any other man who can be placed
On it.

Base Ball

The Grand Rapids and Centralia

ing young men: L. Young, Chas.
Kipp, f. Borngesser, L. Ticknor, J..
Nash, W. Martin, Jos Martin, r.
Cutchall and A. Meunier played their
first game with the Mansfield club
last week. The Times gives the fol-
lowing account of it:
By far the most interesting and
exciting game of ball played on the
park grounds for the past two seasons
was witnessed Wednesday afternoon,
between the Grand Rapids and home
clubs. The Grand Rapids club came
with "blood in their eye,' and it be-
came at once apparent to the home
club that it would require ball playing
to win, and it was ball playing with
both teams from the start. The home
team won the toss, and sent the visi-
tors to bat, and back to the batters
seat in one, two, three order. They
scored two on their inning, the second
and third resulting in goose eggs for
both clubs On the fourth, wild
throws, muffed ball, two single and
one two base hits, gave the visitors
Eve runs. Nothing daunted, the
home boys adopted the Neillsville
scheme, and kept playing ball just the
same, scoring one on their half, retir-
ing the ms on the first half of the
fifth without giving them a sight of
the cushion on LIST, and by safe hitting,
scored six for themselves. The baIan-
ee of the game was easy, the home
team retaining their lead to the end.

The following additional particulars of
the capture in Chicago OF Louis Lingg the

thrown the bomb at the Haymarket are
learned: Officers Lowenstein and Schutler

the front door the other to the rear.

but before he had advanced half dozen
steps the latter drew ponderous Colts

thirteen inches of barrel at the officer. If

in German as he placed his finger on the
trigger and took deliberate aim at the
officer. Sehutler, seeing his peril, rushed
upon his would-be murderer, and
life and death struggle ensued
Lingg fought with the fury of wild
beast, and made repeated efforts to dis
charge the weapon, the barrel of which was

and over, upsetting tables and chairs, and
rafting the window panes in the room.
While the fight was tiercest there was
crash at the front end OF the cottage, and
Officer LOwenstein, who had heard the
struggle within and burst open the door,
tumbled in out Of the rain, and hurried to
his comrades assistance. The appearance
OF the second officer made Lingg delirious
with rage. He shrieked and cursed in his
native tongue, and refused to relax his
grip on the revolver until Lowenstein
seized him by the throat and choked him
until his face grew purple and red. The
weapon, with its cylinder filed with huge
bullets, was then taken away from him.
He was then bandcuffed and taken to the
