SAN JOSE, Oct. 25.-San Francisco and
San Jose played good game here to-
day, the former winning by score of s
TO l. Lookabaugh pitched for San Jose
and Blauvelt for San Francisco. The
congregation which Uncle Harris
brought down so ratified the pitchers that
they twirled poorly for awhile, and at
one time the game had to be stopped on
account Of BlauveIt being so excited.
San Jose lost by making some poor
plays, and were helped along by King
Sheridan's decisions. Both pitchers were
batted hard. Cartwright made a home
run, sending the ball clear out to the
clubhouse. Score:

to take into consideration the character

A telegram from Colfax, Placer County,
states that yesterday morning two young
men tried to beat passenger train No. 8,
eastward bound. They got on at Rose

brakemen at each station, succeeded in
beating their way as far as Cape Horn

The front brakeman put them off there,
but when the train started they attempted
to get on again.
The brakeman then fired his revolver,
the shot taking effect in the right leg of
one of the men, just below the knee. The
wounded man was brought to the Rail-

The men were beating their way to
Reno. They refused to give their names.

One Farmer In Maine Who Was
Smarter Than He Appeared TO Be.
From the Pistsbwro Dispatch.
DEXTER, Me, Nov. e6.--A really bril-
liant Job Of bunkoing was recently pers
formed hero by half-witted farmer Lewis
Cowen, whose home Is at Palmyra. He
swindled the Dexter Savings Bapk Qua OF
81 600, feeced a neighbor named Blaisdell to
the tune Of $500, and sold twenty five sheep
belonging to another neighbor, appropriate
ing the proceeds. He cleared out with over
$1,000 In spoils. On Nov. 5 he came into the
Dexter Savings Bank and stated that he de-
sired TO mortgage his farm In Palmyra. He
represented that the place was free from in
cumbrances, and he also offered to assign to
the bank O mortgage upon piece of land in
Pittsheld held by him against HIS
brother Hiram. The bank took the alleged
security and advanced $1,000. The mort.
gage on the Pittsfield land has since proved
to De worthless.
Two days afterward Cowen approached
Neghbor Blaisdell and asked for loan OF
$500. The swindler alleged that If he could
secure $500 he could raise the mortgage on
his place. It now is revealed that Cowen
bought the farm from an Aroostook man u
few years ago, paying $500 and giving q
mortgage TO the seller for $1,000. But
Blslsdell believed his story, handed over the
$500. and Cowen disappeared about a week
ago.
