SALTWATER NEWS.
Events of the Sabbath in the City
on the ST. Croix,

on the st. CrOiX.
Logging circles presented little more
activity last week than during the pre-
ceding ones. Nine RATS were shipped
to down-river points. Quite number
or log buyers were in the city, but cor
respondingly few log sales were made.
Prices rule about the same, but there
seems to be desire among buyers to
hold of little longer. Good work has
been done at the st. Croix boom. and an
average of 100000 feet of logs have
been turned out daily. Lumbermen
whose drives are hung up on the north
ern rivers. are awaiting the usual June
rise. so that the logs can be moved.
1t is hardly expected that more than
3O,o00,000 feet will remain hung up
owing to the lack of water.
Burt Gates, lad fourteen years of
age, had his right foot badly crushed
under one of the wheels of one OF the
electric street cars Saturday evening.
A large crowd was returning from the
ball game at South Saltwater, and the
car was crowded. Several boys hung
to the side of the car. and the driver re-
peatedly requested him to get off. In
rounding curve Gates went Off, his
right foot being thrown under the
wheels. DR.. L. G. Clark found it nee
essary to amputate the big toe, and
probably others. No blame can be at
tached to the street railway company.

the third inning the Eclipse mine made
seven runs, and from then on the game
was too much one-sided to be of any in
terest. The score at the finish was
Eclipse IS, Mascots 2. The batteries
were, for the visitors, Thielan and Bis
ner; home team, Yorks, Mccarthy and
Weiley. Meisner, of the home team,
made two phenomenal catches in the
right field. The feature of the game
was home run by Visner, of the
Eclipse. The president of the Eclipse
nine umpired the game in fair and
impartial manner. A large crowd wit
messed the game, and as there was no
admission fee everybody was satisfied.
The shore by innings was as follows:
Eclipse. .........0 0 7 0 2 1 *-1s
Mascots. ..........0 0 0 0 0 1 1 o. 2

city, and the Eclipse nine, of Minneap-
oils, will play here every Sunday after
noon during the summer. The game
