Umpire, A. Ehrsam; score, 9 to |
for Enterprise.
The entire game was marked by
good playing on both sides and the
large crowd was kept in fever Of
excitement all the time.
The Junction City team had been
guaranteed $25 to play the game, but
on tlunking in the Sth inning was not
entitled to receive cent-which they
didn't. The total receipts were $5S.
From disinterested standpoint the
umpire's decisions were cminently
fair, not excepting the second base
incident.
1t was a crushing defeat for the WIS.,
iting team, this being only the see
ond game they have lost this season.
1t is supposed they were simply try
ing "to run Jolly on us but maybe
they thought they could play ball.
Just as the game commenced the
grand stand, which was crowded with
humanity to the topmost seat, sud-
denly collapsed, but fortunately no
one was seriously injured. Several
bicycles which were stored under
meath, the big drum and some horns
were considerably damaged. The
stand was simply put up on narrow
movable supports without any
ground anchorage or braces and ex-
hibited an utter disregard for the
lives Of those who gave up their
dimes for seat. Everybody was
good natured about it, though, not
even demanding their money back.

CHApMAN's SCHOOL TROUBLE.
A Hearing Of the Matter Before the
County Superintendent.

This was Chapman's day in towl
and about dozen leading citizens o
the city were here on business con
nected with the school trouble there
1T appears that at the recent schooi
election two new members were
elected on the board, one regularly
and one to fill the vacancy caused by
DR.. Gums death. The board after
being elected met and re-engaged
James Mcmillan as principal Of the
schools, position he has filled for
several years. 1t is claimed on one
side that the engagement was condi-
toned on there being no opposition;
on the other, that it was uncondi-
tional. At any rate a faction opposed
to Mr.. Mcmillan started a petition
protesting against his engagement
and secured, it is reported, about SO
names. The friends of Mr.. Mcmillan
then started a counter petition en-
dorsing him and containing, it is
claimed, somewhat larger number
Of names.
The board was in a quandary and
having already promised the school
to Mr.. Mcmillan hardly knew what
course to take. Finally it was
agreed to waive the legal aspects of
the case and submit the matter to the
county superintendent, which is be-
ing done. Both sides are having
their statement presented and the
outcome will be awaited with inter
Mr.. Mcmillan shall hold
the place or the prlncipalship be de-
clared open for the board to hire
whom it pleases. The members Of
the boa'd are Messrs. Arnold, Masch
and ?. scanlon and they are anxious
to do that which is best for the dis.
trict, all things considered.

WANT 4 GRAND JURY.
ENTERPRISE W. c. 7. U. STARTS
A PETITION.
The Time Limit Having Passed and
No Order Being in the Works Be-
ting Pushed "A Few Days in Which
to Get the Required 100 Names.

! 1t was about time for another CRANE
jury agitation and Enterprise this
time has come to the front with
petition circulators. A leading men,
Der Of the W. G. I. U. Of that city
visited the county attorney last even
and asked for the proper form for
such a petition which she was oblig-
ingly furnished. She said that work
securing names would be begun this
morning and she was confident that
enough could be secured before the
required time, Aug. 2l, or 70 days
before the meeting Of court.
Judge Humphrey has held that If
an order is not filed by the judge pre-
vious to date 80 days before court
meets, he has no other course than to
order grand jury provided there are
the requisite number Of taxpayers
petitioning. 1t was in this interval,
between the 80 day and u day period,
that the petition last winter was pre-
scented and the jury was ordered. At
the spring term, before the 80 day |
limit, Judge Humphrey filed an order
declaring that no grand jury was nee.
essary. This summer he did not do
SO and If the signers are secured
jury will probably come.

ENDED IN A ROW,
The Enterprise-J junction Ball Game
a Lively Affair.

Yesterday afternoon at Enterprise
was played the best ball game Of the
season. junction Citv's crack nine
came up to give the oilers an oppor-
tunity to show the stuff they were
made of--and they found out to their
sorrow The people Of Junction ably
supported their boys, coming up on
the train, by bicycle, in carriages and
tally-ho, and never failed to give en-
enlargement when opportunity CT
fered.
The game was called at about 1
o'clock, with the Millers at the bat
and the first inning netted them 4
tallies This seemed to take all the
courage from the Junction boys and
they never recovered. Additional |
runs were made-two in both the
9th and 9Th, and one in the Sth in
nings, which gave Enterprise nine
tallies to her credit, Junction failed
to score until the 18th inning when
through an error Of the felders one
tally was made. In the first half of
the Sth a dissatisfaction arose as to
the umpire's decision on not calling
Matteson out on second, and the
Junction nine rose up in its might
md quit. The Millers offered to call
lin out and continue the game but
IS junction had no hope Of gaining ,
by continuing they refused
md left the field. A more crestfallen
OF Of players would be hard to find.
Matteson played shortstop for the
lillers and was considered by the ;
pectators to have been half Of the
eam.- He made the only three bag.
er Of the game.
