Al x. Lie Attends q Bali Game
In Red Cloud.

Well bois, you are just IS mean Il
you can be, and I'm another, but
that's nothing to do with my visit to
what tina called a ball park last week.
1t was the first time that l ever took
myself to such an entertainment, and
it was awfully amusin' to me as we'll
as a whole lot Of other fools.
I'll tell you how it was plade.
There was u lot Of fellers dressed up
for runnin'. There was 2 sets, one
set done the hittin' and the other set
done the chasin' the ball. There was
a Teller called a pitcher and a mother
called a ketcher. The pitcher fred
the ball at the ketcher and 1T was the
business of the Teller that held q
taperin' club By the little end, to hit
the bali aud Lok it. If he didn't nok
it when he tried 2, a Teller called UNI
pire, would sa zone STRIKE" and if the
ball vas not a ft ball 2 nok he would
81 lone ball" Then the pitcher
would Xix the end OF his fingers and
fire the ball at the ketcher SO hard
that it went ker-whiz. Then the
umpire would say SO strikes" Then
the hitter would rub his hands on
the ground, pound on the home plate
that's what tina called it but tina
didn't eat from it. and the pitcher
would put mere spit on the ends of
his fGgers, roll the ball around in his !
hands and then fire it at the kctcher
in q circle. The hitter would blaiz
ava and nok the ball behind Linn and !
the umpire would yell "fowl" when
there wasn't a chicken to be seen.
he would sa '.fowl" three
or four times consekyewtively in a
and the fellers that belonged to
The same set the hitters did would sa
''you'r fpdin' them Shorty" Then
would hit the ball square be-
tween the ize and it would go soarin'
iva out in the field and lite in a fel-
ers hands and the umpire would sa
batter out" To my mind that was
'oor advice, for if he hadn't bat
it out in the field he wouldn't
'een out and it looked so foolish any
low to see the hitters nok the ball
lite into the hands of the other fellers
'hen there was lots of room where
here was no other fellers. |,
Sometimes the umpire would sa a
litter was out, and the hittin' fellers
'ould all say he wasp't. Then tina
'ould huddle round the umpire and
fter a whole lot Of wind was wasted ..
he plaers would go bak to wore. and
he hitter stayed out just as the UNI
ire said he was. Then the fellers {;
DIN the chaisln' the ball would ask
nc hitters if tina wanted IN umpire
'ade to order, and sa % no, You fel- 4
rs amt kickers," didn't leave your
to home this time" and other
asin' remarks. Then three of the
tiers woald be out, and the chasers
ould bekum hitters and the hitters
'ascrs, and viscera vesuvius; that is,
q traded places, and the whole act
As repeated. After this had been
ne 9 times the game was out end
e fellers that had run round the
uar dimond the most numerus num-
r of times was ahead, and the friends
the ahead set up and yelled like
is and the whole act wa completed.
1t was a awfully amusin' game, and
srybody went home talkin' base
i, and the game was plade over q
] times on the streets the next day. u

NOTICE TO CARRIERS.

A Circular Calling Attention To Changes In
the Interstate Commerce Law.
WASHINGTON, March 8.-The interstate
commerce commission to-day issued long
circular calling the attention OF common
carriers 10 the provisions Of the recent
amendments to the Interstate commerce
act and urging that especial care be taken
10 avoid violations thereof. Among the
declarations OF the amended portions Is one
to the effectthat no advance shall be made
In Joint rates, fares or charges, except af-
ter ten days notice 10 the commission, and
after three days notice, the time In
each case 10 be computed
from the day when the notice Of
change reaches the Office OF the commission
In Washington. The transportation Of
or routes operated by more than one carrier
upon through tickets or through billing
necessarily Implies the existence OF Joint
tariffs and In the future all advances and
reductions In joint tariffs will be given the
same publicity as IL required IN the case OF
individual carriers. Another amendment
makes IL now an indictable Offense for any
carrier 70 participate In the reception Of
compensation either above or below
the established rates for the transporta-
ton OF any joint traffic Whatever.
The commission Is required to execute
and enforce the provisions OF the act. and
II Is made the duty OF any district attorney
OF the United States, upon request OF the
commission, TO institute and prosecute all
necessary proceedings for that purpose.
These rules apply equally TO joint and In
diyidual tariffs. Regarding. export traffic,
the rate Is determined by the addition OF
the ocean rate prevailing from the point OF
export, therefore the inland rate 10 sucn
point OF export is subject 10 the foregoing
regulations.

NEW YORK, March Slate to-day the
following cable was received from London:
Operators In London predict the end Of
the copper trust 10 near. Any schemes de-
vised to keep IL up In the eyes Of the public
are merely processes TO arrange an easier
liquidation. It's apparent these insecure
ties have been forced by artificial means
upon the continental markets, and heavy

the situation o prominent bear operator,
who at one time held very close relations

downfall Of the corporation. He argued
that even II all the mines stopped produc-
ing II would not change the result, ~ the
present stock was far In excess OF the con-
sumption. Tho failure OF the syndicate,
he thought, would not materially Affect the
American market John Stanton. treas
urer Of the Central Mining company, one
OF the American mines with which the
syndicate contracted, expressed his belief
In the solidlty of the syndicate. The bank
OF France, Stanton added, would certainly
not make money advances In excess OF the
value Of the copper held AZ security.

PARIS, March 8-The Bank of Francehas

amount OF deposits withdrawn from the
latter bank. The English copper compa.
niles have accepted the proposal made by
the copper syndicate 10 reduce the output
during 1889 20 per cent and postp0se dellv-
cries two months. The troubles Of the
Soclete des Metaux arose from the inter-
ruption OF harmony In the syndicate.

disastrous fire In loss OF property that has
occurred here In seven years broke out ct
noon to-day In the basement OF KleIncan 4
Simonson's clothing house ON West Mar
ket street, and In fifteen minutes the blaze
had spread through the large stores and
leaped through the roof. Soon after the
roof fell and little later two large sections
Of the side walls. With one OF these the
rear Of ii. Strauss dry goods house went
down. A strong west wind was blowing,
and when the rear OF Strauss store fell In,
sending q mass OF flames upon the loose
structures In the center Of the block, II
seemed Inevitable the block would be en-
tirely destroyed, After hard fight, how
ever, the firemen gained control and con-
fined the flames TO the Strauss place. One
fireman was painfully burnt and another
slightly hurt. Klelncan Il Simonson's loss

TEN YEARS FOR WALKER.
The slayer of Lunauist and Reese Con
vIcted of MAnsiaughtsr.

vIeted of Mansiaughtsr.
BOULDER, March S-[Speclsl 10 the In
dependent THE Walker case, which has
been on trial here for the past two days,
contrary to expectation, was given TO the
jury last evening, a night session OF the
court having been held for that purpose.
The jury, after remaining out all night,
brought In verdict to-day of guilty OF
murder In the second degree. accompanied
with the recommendation that the court
extend lenlency In the assessment OF the
punishment The verdict. meets with the
appreciation OF the community, for while
there were some mitigating circumstances,
on the whole the killing was one which
could have been avoided, and the example
set In the conviction OF the defendant will
serve 20 prevent resort 10 the use OF dead
ly weapons In the case OF drunken Quarrels
and saloon brawls.
The defendant waIylng his rights as TO
the time which should elapse after con-
viction before pronouncing sentence, was
TO day sentenced 20 ten years In the peni-
tentiary, being the lowest which the statute
prescribes. A very earnest and pathetic
appeal was made by Col Pemberton, his
attorney, for judicial clemency.
The court. In pronounclng judgment,
took occasion 10 remark that the case was
one calling for the exercise OF leniency,
and were II In his power he would feel dis
posed 10 curtail the term Of Imprisonment.
The defendant bore an irreproachable
character up TO the time OF this occurrence,
and this, together with the fact that the
circumstances attending the homicide
stripped it OF much that was aggravating
In character, no doubt had much 70 do with
the expressions OF sympathy emanating
from the bench which accompanied the
prononncing of sentence.
The grand jury thus far have found true
bills against the following named persons:
Robert Good, grand larceny; Patrick Nc
Mahan. grand larceny; John L. Freeman.

In which Robert Hossfeld was killed As the
result OF dispute arising from the pastur'
