BOHEMIAN, Sept. 20. - special. l. The
Helena base ball boys are gentlemen, every
one, but rs the home Of the ball players
Helena isn't 1t. Two games were played
to-day between the Helena and tho Boze-
man clubs. The morning game resulted in
n score of 26 to in favor Of BoZen,nn.
But at noon it was rumored that the
Helenas had been playing their scrubs. and
were laying for bets, intending to put in
the experts at the second game. At $3.50 the
afternoon game was called, and the exports
went in, with resulting score of 20 to Q in
favor of the Bozeman club. The story is
briefly told. Tho Helenas had four eepar-
ate and distinct pitchers in the box during
tho nine innings, while their batting re-
suited in two men getting as far as third
base. The games were marked by courtesy
and extreme good feeling throughout,
there being not single kick during the
playing. The attendance was excellent
being the largest of the season.

A Swedish Nobleman Arrested for Rob
bing the Cliff DwelIers.
DURANGO, COL, pt.yE20.-Baron Nor
denskiold, of Stockholm, Sweden, was ar
rested at the Strater hotel laet night by
Deputy United States Marshal Sargent,
charged with robbing the cliff dwellings, on
the Indian reservation, of relics etc. The
information was furnished by Agent Bar
tholomew, who came up from Ignaoio for
this purpose. The Indians have often re-
ported and warned the Swedish baron. The
baron came here direct from Sweden about
six weeks ago, and obtained permission to
90 on the reservation and explore the ruins
of the cliff dwellers, but with the under
standing that he was not to molest or re-
move anything. Contrary to this, it seems
that the baron fitted out party of eight
men and went at once to digging and tear
ing down these ancient ruins, gathering an
immense amount of relics OF pottery, skel-
etons and implements, boxing them and
shipping them by express to New York,
whence they were to be shipped to Stock
holm. It seems from the report that an un-
usually large collection has bsen gathered
and shipped and that the work has been
one of general devastation to these inter
esting landmarks of a race long dead. The
baron is held, awaiting the action Of the
proper authorities.

Ing a part OF the army, but the rest, includ-.

Only Balmaceda's remarkable ability.
courage and Rudacity enabled him to main
tain his position so long. He levied tribute
on the people without regard to forms OF
law, and played the tyrant with high
hand. He recruited his army by sweeping
conscriptions, refused TO let people not In
sympathy with him leave the country, and
reduced his subjects to absolute servitude.
the taking of either could serve his pur-
pose. 1t seems almost incredible that the
people would submit to some of his petty
acts of tyranny. 30 apprehensive was he
of conspiracies or revolutions that not
more than three persons in Santiago were
allowed to assemble III the public streets,
and after six O'Clock in the evening no
horse or carriage was permitted to be used.
Any person found on the street after mid

For eighteen months the republic of Chilli
was torn with civil strife. Battles of more

ing success. but il was not until the 10Th

decisive action took place on the hills over
looking Valparaiso. II resulted, MS is nc
doubt we'll remembered, in the complete
overthrow Of Balmaceda's forces. The die
tator surrendered the capital at once and
fled. Various reports have since been sent
out as to where he went aud what became
of him, but il was not until his death that
the place Of his ooncealment was known.

Berkin thought, dead. Fortunately he had
a flask of brandy with him, and after
forcing little between her lips
and bathing her temples, she
revived. A team was secured from
a ranch near by, and they went on to Cot,

stopping Runaway Horses by Means of
Electricity.
CHICAGO. Sept. 20.-The new system of
stopping runaway horses by electricity was
given practical test on the lake front yes
terday by A. B. Hotson, the inventor. Hot
son got into carriage to which two horses
were attached, and with no driver on the
box. The man lashed the animals with the
whip and they dashed away at breakneck
speed. Suddenly the animals raised them
selves on their launches and came to q
full stop. The invention consists of dry
battery under the drivers box, connected
by wires with metal balls placed in the
horses nostrils. There are two buttons, one
on the drivers box, another inside. which
close the circuit when pressed. The result
is mild shock, which the inventor claims
will invariably bring runaway horses to a
stnndstill.
