THE REDS WIN.
The Home Team Defeats the
Denver Club.
The Famous Five Points 0utplayed
All Around.
A Fair Attendance and Fine After
Moons Sport.

The result of Sundays Red Stocking
Five Point game was a most agreeable
surprise to the Cheyennese. The home
team defeated the visitors quite easily, by
a score of II to 9. Just how the Greeley
aggregation, which is in every way infe-
rior to the crack Colorado nine, managed
to whip the Reds in three successive con-
tests is more of a mystery than ever.
BuC Rapp was at his best Sunday, and
the Denver sluggers experienced consid-
cradle difficulty in finding the ball. He
had nine strike-outs to his credit. His
support was as a whole first class, although
the fielding was at times rather loose.
The feature of the game was the tricky
manevering of the Five Points in their
half of the first inning. There was a Wis
iting base runner or first and another on
second. Both were in imminent danger
OF being retired while attempting to steal
a base, when the coacher ran from third
to the home plate at a terrific gait. The
ruse succeeded. The ball was thrown
home and each runner advanced a bag.
These tactics are debarred in league
and association games, and seldom
resorted to by amateurs, but there was no
remedy for the hoodwinked Cheyenne
men and they could not help admIring the
shrewd coacher. This fine work only
netted the Points one run, however.
Lumley and Garrow snatcbed some black
spots from the air in left and center and
the former made a splendid throw from
away out in his garden to first. For the
home team Cannon caught exceptionally
well, Marshall played in his usual style at
first, making only two errors, Stowe was
at home on second. Erswell, at short, cor
rallied many hot grounders, while Gibbs.
the Greeley lad, put up a fine game at
bag No. 3 and added fresh laurels to his
reputation as a base runner; johnson, IN
right field, was in a new position aud
rather disappointed bis admirers. He
intends to practice fielding after the pota-
toes are dug. Erswell and Rapp did the
heavy hitting. The former made one
two-bagger and one t~hree-bagger, while
the pitcher smashed the sphere for two
bases.
Cornell and Willoughby were at the
points for the visitors, They make a
good battery, but Cornell, who is a phe-
nom, was hit quite freely. The Denver
short stop and second baseman did the
best in the field work.
Score by innings.

The approach Of the cold weather
brings to mind the necessity for securing
fur goods. Articles of this description
are always expensive, but an opportunity
is sometimes afforded for securing bar
gains. A very rare chance is now afforded
at Whitcomb's closing out sale where fur
goods, including caps, gloves, ETC., are
being sold for fifty cents on the dollar.
Tho chance to get good goods cheap is SO
rare that no one should neglect the oppor-

A Narrow Escape.

About 2:30 o'clock this morning Jos.
Straub, THE LEADER pressman, was ex-
aiming a revolver when the weapon was
in some way discharged. The bullet
struck Mr.. Straub just above the right
eye but did not penetrate the skull. 1t
was a very narrow escape and the wound
ed man will doubtless cease to toy with
firearms.
The bullet was a "A caliber missile and
would have caused instant death had it
struck his head squarely. The accident
occurred in THE LEADER job room and
the shot startled the other occupants of
the establishment not a little. DR.. Mars

PATHos AND HUMoR.
A German Brings the Remains of a
Child TO Town III a Basket.

When the belated train arrived from
the West yesterday forenoon there was
quite a crowd at the depot, but no one
paid any particular attention 10 a heavy
set, sorrowful looking German who car
ried a large basket under his arm and who
quietly picked his way through the crowd
and started up town at a funeral gait.
The man was a Mr.. Anderson of Gran
tie canyon and his mission was one that
seldom brings one to the Magic City. He
inquired the way to the cemetery and in
due time reached the city of the dead,
where he was greeted by Sexton Hast
ings. Anderson's English is very poor,
but he managed to say that he wished to
purchase a cemetery lot and secure a
burial permit. OF course the sexton asked
for the corpse and was astonished very
much indeed to learn that the stolid Ger
man was an entire funeral procession
himself. In the basket which he handled
so carefully were the remains of an infant
bur a few days old. In response to ques-
tons Anderson said that while both his
wife and himself loved their little one
dearly they were unable to encase its
breathless body with a casket and had
concluded that the basket would answer
all purposes equally well. The conductor
on the train had suggested that a ticket
be purchased for the corpse, as was the
usual custom. Anderson, as he expressed
it, fooled him a trip" Il carry dot
baby" he tearfully said, in mine own
lap. Den l know dat nobody don throw
de basket around"
The sexton assisted Anderson in the
selection of a burial plot and furnished
the permit, and the remains of that little
mite were inferred without further cere-
mony. The unfortunate father was the
only mourner.
Nothing of this sort has occurred in
Cheyenne for many years.

Enterprising and Commendabls.

II. A. Albien is now re-modeling the
large room on the second floor Of his
brick block on the corner of Custer
Avenue and Sixth street, formerly used
as a hall, into an elaborate suit of rooms,
specially designed for the use of the
Harvey Peak Tin company as offices.
An eight foot hall extends from the
head of the stairway the full length of
the building, on the east side, from
| which the three large and commodious
rooms intended for the company will
be accessible. The large room fronting
on Custer Avenue, which is designed for
the main office Of the company, is sup
piled with large windows on two sides,
which afford ample light for the pur-
pose in view. The rooms will be fitted
up in excellent style, supplied will all
the modern co~nveniences, and placed at
the disposal Of Mr.. James Wilson, of the
above named company. upon his arrival
in this city.
Mr.. Albien is deserving of the earnest
thanks Of the entire community for the
marked degree Of generosity. and ex-
ceptional enterprise thus manifested.

The Bonds.

The bond held by the Harvey Peak
Tin Company upon the Dolphin group
Of tin claims at Warren's gulch, near
this place, which expired on the lst
inst, was extended to August lst. upon
the payment Of S., 600 by the company.
The company has now paid $4,000 upon
the property, leaving a balance of $780,
600 falling due at the expiration Of the
time to which the bond was extended.
The company also advanced s 5000
upon a $4,000 bond held upon the
Darwin lode at Tenderfoot, the time
upon which was extended to July 18th.
The bond held on the Tin King group,
for $4,000, located zeal Sunday gulch,
was also extended to July 18th, upon
which no money vas advanced.
1t is now generally believed that the
company will promptly meet all future
obligations when due and in the event
of the early contamination Of the En-
glish deal, which is deemed probable,
their obligations will be Cancelled even
before the time given has fully expired.
The situation is fairly hopeful. and the
good times SO long hoped for, may now
be safely considered near at hand.

HeadQuarters.

The Deadwood Times, commenting or
an article recently appearing in the
CHRONICLE, in which the view was hello
that Custer would be chosen as head
quarters for the Harvey Peak Tin com
pany, reasonably, consistently, and mos,
truthfully says:
A very reasonable view indeed. Gus
ter occupies relatively the same position
in the southern Hills that Deadwood
does in this locality, with the advantage
of the finest, most picturesque and
roomiest location for a city in all Dako.
Ia. That Custer is destined to be a large
and prosperous city is contingent only
upon the permanence gifts tin resources,
of which no n en%tertains a doubt.

The Election.

Custer was the scene of a very quiet
election on Monday. The fact of there
being but n ticket in the field, and
consequently no contest for the Offices,
rendered the occasion less interesting
than it would otherwise have been.
Only 76 votes were polled; a fact which
shows conclusively that a large majority
Of the residents did not visit the polls.
A full board oftown officers and a board
of education were elected.

Mr.. M. Willsie, superintendent Of the
Harvey Peak Tin Company, recently
terminated a two weeks s%ejourn in this
city. Much of the valuable tin property
owned, and held under bond by the
company is located in this vicinity
which often necessitates the presence OF
the superintendent at this place; and in
view of obviating the inconvenience oc,
casioned by being SO remotely located
from the mines under his supervision
we infer from his repeated inquiries
concerning the price of town property
that it is his intention to establish his
headquarters in this place, where he
could more conveniently attend to the
business entrusted to his charge.
