Sundays ball game between the Buttes
and billions lasted just an hour and three.
quarters, and resulted in q victory for the
home club, the visiting nine being defeated
by q score OF 8 to %.
The game began at 4 o'clock, and up to
the eighth inning was tolerably even, but
after that it was about as one-sided an
affair as ever took place on the diamond.
In the first inning the billions made four
runs, and they were in high spirits, espec-
tally after the Buttes managed to make
but one. After. that. however, the Buttes
got on' to Sebree's pitching, and they
pounded him all over the field and made
one or more runs in each inning. As much,
however, cannot be said OF the visitors, for
they did nothing but fan wind after the first
inning untf the ninth, when they managed
to squeeze out one little tally.
Butte's new battery, Rogers and Sempler,
is a daisy, and it is q good one that can
get away with it. Sempler's pitching is
probably the best ever seen in the terri.
tory.
Following is the score by innings:

THE NEXT GAME.
The next club which the Buttes will tackle
will be the Marysville nine, a club now
holding the championship Of the territory,
and for the sake OF maintaining interest in
the great national game" its to be hoped
that q better attendance will be present /
than was Sunday. The game will pe played

When descending or ascending, the men en-

a light is kept burning constantly.
For some reason the light was not there
when the accident occurred and Cheesmap,
who was going to the surface, got out OF the
car before tie top of the incline was reached
and signaled to the engineer tn lower the

engineer complied and lowered the bucket

Q AND SKIPPED.
Jim Gahan. a Real Estate Man of
CentraIia, is q Defaulter.

Jim Gahan, as he is familiarlv
known, a real estate agent Of Cen
tralia, left his home on the 18th
and since that day his whereabouts
have remained unknown. The
reason for Mr.. Gahan's departure
is that he is short something like
one thousand dollars belonging to
q gentleman who lives in Monroe
county.
Last July, the Monroe county
gentleman borrowed a sun of
money from the Lombard Invest
ment Company, Kansas City,
through its agents, Gahan Brothers,
C~entralia. One thousand dollars
f the sum we're to be used to pay
off an incumbrance on the Monroe
county mans farm, while what re
manned Of the money borrowed was
to be handed the gentleman by
Gahan Brothers. James Gahan
transacted the business, it appears,
and when~the money arrived from
the Lombard agency, he took one
thousand dollars and satisfied the
holder of the Monroe county mans
note. The remainder of the cash
he placed in his pocket where 1t
( has remained ever since. The
Monroe county man asked Gahan
several times for the money, but at
no time was it forthcoming. After
having fairly pleaded with Gahan
for several months, the man from
Monroe county brought his lawyer
over to Ccntralia and Gahan was
given another chance to adjust
matters. He promised that on
Wednesday the 10th he would do so.
but on the Monday before the day
Of promised settlement he had dis
appeared. The Monroe count,

have him arrested

Double Taxation.

10 the EdiftFoi The Ledger.
MExIco, Mo, Jan. 22.-lt looks
to me as though Hon. C. F. Clark's
bill to tax paid up policies meant
double taxation. 1t is true paid up
policies are investments and pay
dividends, but the holders of said
policies get their dividends less the
taxes as paid up police. are taxed
in the State where the company is
located. Is it fair to tax these
policies in the county where the
company is located and in the
county where the holder lives also?

ST. LOUIS MARKET.
Cattle-lt can be truly said that
the cattle market ruled dull the
past week, and prices we're unsat-
isfactory to sellers. In fact, values
on nearly all grades we're pretty
low, and as near bottom as they
could well be. Good tidy steers of
$50 to LOO lbs. were the best sell
ing grades. Mixed butcher stuff,
as cows, heifers, stays, ETC., in lib
eral supply and dull of disposal at
prices ranging from $3.50 to rs cts.
per 100 lbs. Stockers and feeding
steers were in fair supply and in
limited demand. Yesterday the
feeling was a little better under an
increased demand. Mixed butcher
stuff slow and prices low The sup
ply proved more than ample.
Hogs-Mixed packing, Workers
and good to choice butcher hogs
were readily sought after and prices
did not fiuctuate much. Good fat
hogs Of $50 lbs. and over were the
best selling as all classes of buyers
exhibited partially for these.
Workers are also selling well now.
Tuesday supply small. and mainly
of light mixed hogs. Prices were
weaker all round but all found sale.
The packing demand is not SO ur-
gent as formerly. Workers, S4.75
to s4,S5; mixed packing, $40 to
S4.S5 butchers and select heavy,
s4.o5 to 81 50 pigs, $3.50 to s4. 20.
Mules-The mule market was ac-
tive to the extent of the offerings,
which were large Common ami
mails slow.
Fat cattle are reported lower
than for years, with Il downward
