Fine Baseball Writing.

"a writer in the New Orleans Times
Democrat has in his leisure moments
culled some gems from some of the re-
ports of baseball during the season and
presents them as follows:
Lock jaw sent a messenger to Kingdom
Come that threatened to scrape the stars
out of the sky. 1t fell into the trap OF
O'Rourke, who froze to it, while the
crowd on the bleaching boards shivered
the air.
Radspinner pushed lawn-mower over
to center that left blue streak behind
it in it's eagerness to do the Eli act.
Joblots lifted a regular blue-bottle
buzzer that fell into Sandy's bread
winners, but there wasn't enough fly
paper there and it didn't stick.
Fitzjones got an undercut, and bang
ing the ball on the nose took second,
while the sphere went sailing, the angels
only knew where, and though not on
speaking terms with the white-robed
throng, O'Raferty got clew and took
the wandering leather into camp when
it dropped from the clouds with the per-
fumed breath of Paradise still on its
whiskers.
Hagan's curves were deadlier than
curvature of the spine, kissing over the
plate hot as a kitchen stove, and after
the usual sWipes Bladdergast was SEN
fenced to the bench for assaulting the
wide outdoors.

wyoming and Her Cattle Growers.

Mr.. e. s. r. Boughton. manager OF the
lone Land and Cattle Company, tells the
Laramie Boomerang that more cattle
are o being stolen over the territory
than ever before. Two outfits in northern
Wyoming are now preparing to move to
Montana because they claim they cannot
secure protection in this territory from
cattle thieves. This condition OF affairs is
due mainly to the preiu,rice which exists
against tie Stockgrowers' Association.
SO deep-seated is this prejudice that
even when the association secures
the indictment of any q for cattle
stealing it is impossible to obtain his con-
viction. The association has only a com
paratively small fund at it's disposal Tor
it's prote ction, and the fact that it's efforts
to secure the persecution OF thieves has
proved in a great measure q failure is being
taken advantage OF by those who make their
living by preying upon the herds OF others.
It is said that many OF the section houses
along the line OF the railroad are now being
supplied with mea5 stolen by those from
whom it was purchased.

The Attention Of the Government Called
to the Necessity of Defending 1t.
OTTAWA, March LIN the Senate, yester-
day, McInes, OF British Columbia, drew the
attention Of the government to the neces-
sity OF urging the imperial government to
construct the proposed defense OF the Pa
cifc coast. Three years have gone by since
the admiralty sent a party OF engineers to
survey sites, but nothing has been done
since. McInnes drew attention to the war
cloud which hangs over kurope. Russia
he said, was enlarQing the arsenala at Vlado-
opposite British Columbia. The
govel nment leader OF the senate replied at
saying it had not yet been decided
where to erect the batteries in the neighbor-
hood Of Esquimault. Negotiations be-
the imperial and Canadian govern
ments respecting the propositions Of arma-
.ents were confidential and they were pro.
satisfactorily. McInnes then drew
the attention OF the government to the
necessity Of defending other points on the
Pacific coast.
