FOR THE FIRST TIME
THE Year, NapOncc Base Bal1
Nine Meets Defeat.

Last Tuesday was carnival day In
Red Cloud, every person who could pos.
sibly leave his business, joining the
parade to the ball grounds to witness
the contest between the Red Cloud and
Naponee mines.
At two o'clock the band rounded up
at the corner Of Webster street and 4th
avenue, and. after playing a few pieces
to attract the crowd, formed In line Of
march, with the two armies Of base
ballists following, and started for the
grounds.
A good sized crowd was present to
witness tho event, but not as large as
had been expected, as the game had
been well advertised and promised to be
the hottest OF the season. Naponee
was advertised on the bills a. not hav.
ing been beaten this year but this time
the audience had the opportunity Of
witnessing their defeat TO the tuns Of
10 to 6.
The day was all that could be desired,
with the exception Of a southwestern
breeze. which picked up the dust from
the diamond and made il uncomfortable
for many Of the spectators.
A large number OF safe hits we're bat.
ted on both sides. Owing to the wind,
a 1.-TWO Dagger was counted a good
knock, and a three base run was gener-
ally through fault OF one or more Of the
players. Flies usually sailed nicely into
the hands Of the fielders, rarely over
reaching them.
AS was previously arranged. Messrs.
Scott and Prentice OF the Blue Hill
nine were secured as the Red Cloud
battery. and they performed good work.
Though the usual number OF men
were given fret on dead balls, the only
accident Of moment occurred ut third
base, whore Billy Hopka received q bad
kick in the face while putting the ball
on one Of the
One Of the amusing incidents Of the
game was Noble Captain Robinson's
vigorous protest against the decision Of
the umpire, but, after being carried
from the diamond with the rules before
his face, Nobe was at last convinced
that he wal in the wrong, though he
swore he wasn't out until they carried
him out.
Numerous errors occurred on either
side in the fore part Of the game, but, in
tho last four innings, the boys got down
to work and played splendid ball.
Though the game was marked all the
way through with yells and boots from
tho by-standers, the end Of the last in
ming lacked the general hurrsh tina,
usually chsracterizes such an event
Following 10 the score by innings:
Red Cloud: 0 2 2 3 2 3 3 0 OLD
Naponee: 023 I 0 0 0 O.

Sheriff Runohsy returned this week
from Sioux City, Iowa, accompanied by
his sister, Mrs. Chick, and four children.
There 10 Q long story in this connection.
Some years ago Mrs. Chick left Q good
homo and married the man whose name
she bears. It was q hard life, and from
almost the first year Of her married life
she was subjected to revere abuse. One
day last week the sheriff received q
latter from his sister, saving that she
was not being treated right and that
her husband was trying to put her In
the insane asylum. The sheriff took
the first train and arrived there while
tho insanity board was discussing the
matter. He found the state Of affairs
worse than had been reported. and, had
II not been for tho Intervention Of the
officers Of Sioux City, there would have
been one woman heater less in the state
Of Iowa. The lady and family had
been transported her from one state to
another owe forty times. Mr.. Runchsy
deserves great credit in rsscuing his
sister from the clutches Of the villain
who had mistreated her for so many
years. For the time being she and her
children will reman in Red Cloud.

one-third of the contents. Put the pipe
aside for a day or two, leaving the old

A Curious Religious Colony,

In the central part of Texas is located
the town of Bolton, where there is a
curious religious colony of women known
as the ''Sanctifed Sisters" The chief
prerequisites to membership in this COM
munity are life of celibacy, Il common
property and an isolated existence. The
original leader of this curious band is
Mrs. Martha McWhirter, a woman of
indomitable will. When she conceived
the idea Of this colony she was happy
with. her husband and twelve children,
against whose united protest she persist
ed in, founding the society. This was
nineteen years ago, since which time the
society mas steadily grown in numbers
and wealth, chiefly through the efforts of
Mrs. McWhirter, whose executive and
business ability are indicated by the
fact, that at present she is "a member
of the board Of trade and a director of
the opera house syndicate of Bolton.
The membership, which is now thirty
two. includes several women who for
merly occupied excellent positions in
the social world.
