A wild Ride.

County Assessor Holland had an exciting
experience few miles beyond Walkerville,
yesterday afternoon. Without almost
moments warning q most terrific hail
storm began and lasted fully ten minutes.
Mr.. Holland hastily raised his buggy top
to screen himself from the flying chunks OF
ice Ind then took an extra hold OF the
lines, for his horse, crazed with pain and
fear, was running with all bis speed to es-
cape, something, he knew net what. Sew
eral miles was gone over in this way and
the wonder was that Mr.. Holland was not
thrown out and killed for the road over
which he passed was indescribably rocky,
and tortuously wound it's way through
barrow gulch. When the storm finally
ceased be managed to pacify his horse and
cauee him to slack his speed.

AWFUL SLUGGING.
The St. Paul Team Scores Thirty
Nine Times.

No such leather chasing was ever
done in st. Paul by professional ball
teams as that yesterday by the clubs
representing St. Paul and Des Moines.
The young athletes representing this
city had read in the papers of the great
scores made by the Sioux City team
against Minneapolis and Milwaukee,
The first being 80 to and the other 36
to 4-and went OH the field with the in
tention of wlping out the record of the
Savages and putting a new one in its
place. They did it. First they intro
duced MFR. Fagan to the 1000 spectators
by batting him for twelve runs in the
opening inning. Half dozen We're
coaxed out of the corkscrews of Whitley
and PheIan in the second and third.
Three more went OH the score board Off
Fagan in the fourth. In the fifth, after
Pagan had retired one and let couple
get on bases, Capt. Macullar took the
box and began putting spirals over the
rubber. The first man went to his seat
On fly, but the next cleared the bases
by landing the ball in the swamp.
Mac staid in in the sixth, and three
tallies resulted. Again in the seventh
the little captain clung to the
pitchers position. wen knock
him out this time" yelled Pickett,
as Werrick swung his bat, and they
did knock him out. Thirteen men went
to bat and nine of them made the cir
cult. st. Paul had scored in every
inning, and the tally board showed
total of thirty-six runs. "Let me
pitch" said Ohne Patton, II can pitch
'em out" And the little right-felder
took the box. Hawes opened with a
hit, but the next three men gave HIM no
assistance, and the inning ended with
but a run being made. In the ninth,
however, the st. Paul men re-
sumed operations and ran the
score up to 80. The Des Moines
team also did some pretty tail
slugging, hitting Tuckerman for fifteen
hits, four of them being over the fence.
The fielding Of the Prohibitionists was
extremely rocky, their error column
carrying record of eleven blunders.
st. Paul. too, made plenty of errors,
Pickett getting three of the half dozen.
The latter, however, played strong
game, his blunders generally being on
balls which most fielders would have
allowed to go as safe hits. The batting
of the locals was strong all around. four
of the nine men making four hits each.
Werrick's total was fourteen bases.
three of his drives being home runs and
the other double. Murphy led the
fielding, pulling down half dozen flies,
some of them very difficult ones. The
score follows:
