for Capt. Sanbnrn to get down on his

pursuit he was particularly devout; but
not SO with Messrs. King and Drumhel-
Ter, who had probably not offered up
deyotlons in a long time. They had no

the superintendent, went back to first

rocked out the nuggets for the visitors,
realizing something like $50 in one

Had q Good Time.

The For, Sherman Baseball club went
to Spokane to play game with the
spokane Business College nine last sun
day. The game looked like schoolboy
affair all through. Megonigal. by his
effective pitching, held the college boys
down to Ii runs in the first inning.
When the game was over a large force
OF men was put TO work on the diamond
to clean up the broken bats, etc. Every
one hit the bali, and almost everyone
broke bat. At the close of the ninth
inning the score stood: business Col
lege. Is: Fort Sherman. s6. 1t is thought
the Spokane drinking water is respon,
sihle for such playing. 1t must be said
of the college boys that they understand
how to entertain visitors, and when
they visit Fort Sherman there is a good
time coming to them.
