THEY DID RIGHT.
Contract for Building a Splendid
Iron Bridge Mt HOyd'S Will for
G5.z5O.

County Comm iSsioner J. +. e. DuPre met
the County Comm isSiOncrS of lIaurenS last
Monday at Laurens Conrt House, and award
ed the building OF an iron bridge across Sa u
da River at BOyd's Mill TO George III. Crafts
& Co, OF Atlanta, Ga, who represented the
Smith Bridge Company Of Toledo, Ohio. The
bridge consists one iron span OF lGO feet In
length, so feet OF an approach on the l.aurens
side, and 4GO feet Of an approach from the
Abbeville side. The bridge to be 30 feet and
above low water, and all the approaches, as
we'll as the bridge, to be above high water.
The price for the iron bridge Is $4,000. ana
the approaches were let at $50. making the
total cost $3.50, on which guarantee of three
years is given. >,
The counties of Abbeville and Iaurens d.
vide the expense OF the bridge, each paying
one-half.
We believe II Is conceded that iron bridges,
which are well built, are practically inde-
structibe and it has been demonstrated be-
yond a doubt that the original cost OF long
iron bridge is not more that the cost OF first
class bridge of wood of the same length. For
this reason, we believe the action of the
County Commissioners was right and for the
best Interests OF the people. The fact is,
every important bridge should Ge OF iron,
even II the cost should be double that or
wood. The railroads now never think OF put.

TEN INNINGS.
But 1t Was Dull and ListIess Game
Throughout.
The sacramentos Got Away With tt
as They Should Have Done
Some Local Notes.

The ball game yesterday between the
Oaklands and Sacramentos was ten-in-
ming contest, and yet it was decidedly
tame affair. 1t lacked that spirit and
dash which an extra-inning battle gen
orally instils in the players, and the en-
tire game was slowly played.
Because the Oakland team is so far be-
hind in the race for the pennant, that is
no reason why its players should become
careless and act as though they were tired
on the diamond. If the public once gets
to understand that the Oaklands are not
trying to win games, baseball in Sacra-
mento will receive such q severe blow, by
the withdrawal of patronage, that the
last contests will have for audiences only
reporters and the few whose duty it is to
be on hand at every game.
It would probably be unfair to say that
| the Oaklands did not attempt to win the
game yesterday. The trouble with their
playing was this: When they were five
runs ahead they became careless, and
Baltz got tired all Of sudden. Then
when the score became tied in the seventh
inning. their eyes were opened, and from
that time on there was some real baseball
played. The ninth inning was played,
and still the score stood . to g. But the
tenth inning found Baltz wild and throw
ing the ball underhand. Hard hits by
Spies, Reitz and McGuirk, and a very
rank error by Carroll netted the Sacra-
mentos three runs, and the game ended
in that way.
Holman was hit very hard in the first
four innings, but after that he settled
down and did his usual effective work.
The playing Of the Sacramentans in the
field was perfect and of brilliant char
acter.
Spies work was excellent. He made
four hard base hits, and accepted ten
chances without letting in an error to
mar his record. Keitz, Hassamer, Nc
Hale and McGuirk played the infield
positions perfectly, and Goodenough,
Roberts and McCloskey played well in
the outer gardens.
For the Oaklands, Speer, Power, Shea
and Carroll batted hard. Sweeney, at
third, had decidedly OFF day. His work
was very poor. Cantillion got his error
for tossing a ball high to Shea, when he
iCantillion) was only couple or feet from
the base. CantiIlion himself should have
made the put-out.
O'Neill was as loud as ever on the
coaching lines, and he paid great deal
more attention TO the audience than he
usually does, probably because there were
so few in the grand stand. O'Neill does
not 'cut up'' as ne did yesterday when
he has large crowd looking on. Fol-
| lowing is the score

HE WAS A HUNTER
The Man Found Drowned in the Nc
l<elumne River.

The Man Found Drowned in the Mo-
l<elumne River.
Some days ago mention WIS made of
the finding of the body of drowned
man in the Mokelumne River, near it's
mouth. The Rio Vista Ne1cs says the
deceased was Thomas Shade, hunter.
1t appears that Shade and his partner.
William Raymond, better known as
Buffalo Bill" were coming up the Mo
kelumne in hunting-scow. Raymond
went to bed about II o'clock, telling
Shade not to set the sail alone, but if any
wind came up to call him. In the morn
ing when Raymond awoke, the scow was
caught on the bank, the sail set and Shade
was gone.
Judge Hart f. Smith held an INQUEST
over the remains on October 8th, and the
jury returned verdict in accordance
with the above facts
Shade was a native of Denmark, and
aged about 10 years. lie was buried on
Tyler island, on the bank of the Mokel-
umne River.
Little is known Of Shade or his relatives
by the people along the Mokelumne. He
went there recently from Point Pinole.
and 1t is claimed he has brother-in-law
IN San Francisco named Peterson, who is
contractor OF street paving.
