Bismarck weekly tribune. [volume] (Bismarck, Dakota [N.D.]) 1884-1943, 1891-07-10

kept busy keeping the large crowd back
and he yelled himself hoarse in the at
tempt; but he demonstrated to the satis-
faction of all that he was the umpire
with a big U. No back talk went with
him.
Quite a little excitement was occa-
stoned by the falling of a portion of the
grand stand" erected for the comfort Of
the sweltering hundreds. 1t became
overloaded with enthusiastic base ball
lists and collapsed, gently and with no
premonitions. Very fortunately none
were seriously injured, although Mrs.
Beardsley and Isaac Stapleton, both of
Bismarck, were pinched a little. It is
quite a miracle that none were more Sc
riously hurt. Grand stand carpenters
should be a little more careful in the fu-
ture.
Register Neal of the land Office did
not go to Mandan yesterday. He is still
celebrating the arrival of that boy, and
Mandan had no attraction for him.
Norman Gray showed a clean pair of
heels in the foot race and took away the
Doodle. -
The boys, girls, three-legged and
other races were we'll attended and all
passed off as expected. i
If O'Mera, the umpire at Mandan yes
terday, is as good an operator-and they
say he is-as he is judge of a close
scratch on base running, he is a man
that the management of the Northern
Pacific want to cultivate.
Clarence Price: If I don't get in out
of this ht sun I'll not weigh over fifteen
pounds.
1t is estimated that fully 600 residents
Of Bismarck went over the river yester-
day. We do not NEAR anything by the.
expression, "over the river" except that
they took in Mandan.
One of the Mandan ball players: I
wish the man who laid out these grounds
had to catch a ball on them, with the
sun in his eyes.
It was strictly a day of good behavior.
None of the erstwhile b-oisterousness was
to be seen.
The score card fiend was on the
grounds, but did not seem to reap a very
heavy harvest.
Frank Mason: By the throwing up Of
the Bismarck game I am out a quantity
of excellent red lemonade, which I had
carefully brewed.
Julius, the Mandan barber: I have
$3.50 up on the ball game that Yates will
win, and I have a sure thing on it. La
ter, after the game, at pears to me 1
was mistaken a little"
Very p~rudently the Yates boys did not
accept Manager Falconer's challenge to
play here tomorrow for a purse of $50 a.
side. It seemed to be the impression
that they would not be in it, and like
wise men they kept their dust in their
jeans.
The Mandan hackmen were in their
glory, and with a charge of fifty cents to
get out to the grounds reaped quite a.
harvest. A number of farmers took in
the situation and earned an honest pen
ny, declaring it beat wheat and stock all
hollow. "
"Curly" said the right name was the
proper n to give when asking for the
wherewith to quench thirst.
Hattie Davidson came down from
Dickinson to spend the Fourth with her
parents.
Senator Arnold was a visitor in the
city yesterday and joined the multide
over the river. The senator reports his
country at Larimore prosperous and
that the hoppers, about which SO much
has been said, have pretty we'll hoped
out. Mr.. Arnold will leave for st. Paul
next month to attend the annual session
of the national editorial association, be-
ing a delegate from North Dakota.
Although the capital city did not cele-
brate she was much better decorated
than the city on the other side.
The entertainment given by the Catho-
lie ladies last evening was a pronounced
success.
Quite a number of Bismarckers went
to Mandan last night to attend the gov
ernor's reception and ball. &
A cannon was mounted on the
corner of Main and Fourth street yester-
day morning and for a time the eagle
was made to scream.
