MANY ERRORS MADE.
Both teams made errors-in fact an
abundance of them-but the Richmond
derelctions proved not so disastrous as
those made by the visitors on one &C.
cason Norfolk error, or rather,
series OF errors. resulted i'm three Rich
mond runs. Berte was at the bat, and
Foster and Fender were on bases. The
clever little shortstop hunted the ball,
and, IL being fumped by Stocksdale,
Berte reached first. while Foster went
to third and Fender to second; wild
throw then let Foster and Pender into
home. and another terrible throw per-
mitted Berte to score. He really never
tarried an instant on any of the bases,
and made a home run on n bunt, some
thing that has not been done here be-
fore.
THE GAME WAS CLOSE.
The game, though miserably played on
both sides. was still very close and ex-
citing, and was won by only one run.
The contest was called i'm the seventh
inning on account OF darkness. and In
that inning Richmond had made two
runs. which were not counted. the score

This victory gives Richmond all the
advantage of rhe championship series, and
to-day's game will probably decide the

in favor OF to-day's game being the last

ATTEMPTED HIGHWAY ROBBERY.


The Offenders UnknOwn-The Intended
Victim One of Them.
Joseph Czskajkis, driver employed by ].
f. Bradley, the East Centre street butcher,
shot an unknown man on the highway at
Lost Creek at about 7:15 o'clock last evening,
but does not know the victim, or the effects
of the shot
As Czskajkis was driving along the high
way on his way to this town after making his
collections, several men, apparently Poles, or
Lithuanians, stepped out into the road and
stopped the horse. Two held the horse, one
jumped at the rear of the wagon and fourth
jumped up at the front demanding that the
driver give up his money. Czskajkis drew a
revolver and fired. The man groaned and
fell to the side of the road and the driver
whipped up his horses getting clear of the
crowd and did not stop until he reached town.
He said that upon looking back while driving
away he saw the man he shot at carried
away by a number of men. Czskajkis says
that William Wilkinson, a saloonkeeper near
Lost Greek, loaned him the revolver yester-
day afternoon saying, "You have consider
able money and had better take this you
don't know what may happen On the road.
William Hulusky's delivery wagon was
standing near the scene of the shooting, and
! when the driver came out of the store it was
gone. 1t is thought the robbers used the
wagon to convey the wounded man away
The wagon and horse was found in the wood,
near Raven Run at 4 o'clock this morning.

THE ELECTION.


Reports Up to Noon Showed Light Voting
in All Wards.
The severe cold weather and general
operation Of the collieries made the vote
light at the polls this morning, and at noon
the totals were considerably behind
the records of last spring, but they
will doubtless pull up before the polls
close tonight. There was nothing of
special interest in any of the wards to-day
and no demonstrations were made to indicate
the stubornness which it is known char
acterizes some of the contests. The poll at
noon was as follows First ward 40
Second, SO; Third, 144; Fourth, 1926; Fifth, 157.
The contest which seemed to excite the most
interest during the day was that in which
Thomas Tosh is making fight for Constable
in the Third. Nearly all the leading politi-
clans of the other wards seemed to be keep
ing their eyes upon it, The vote was Sc
light during the forenoon that the men
at the polls could not be stirred up enough
to make guess as to the probable results
outside of a general claim of party victory
and in that sense the Citizens and Democrats
were vieing with each other to make the
largest claim. 1t is believed, however, thai
this will be good year for the Citizens party
at the polls.

4 struggle with Prisoners.

Chief of Police Tosh and Lieutenant Lee
called at a house on Poplar street late last
night to arrest Mrs Ella Schwatka for assault
and battery The woman was partly un-
dressed and refused to put herself in
condition to accompany the officers.
Her husband, Mike, and one Anthony
Koser interfered when the police undertook
to take the woman after they had waited
some time for her to get ready. The police
then dropped the woman and arrested the
two men for interfering with them in the
discharge of their duties. While the hear
ing was going on before Justice Williams the
fire bell rang. Policeman Lee went to the
scene while Tosh started with the two pris-
oners for the lookup. At Oak street they
turned upon him but he held en- to them
until he got to the lookup entrance, whore
Harry Hafner went to his assistance. Haf-
ner showed Schwatka into the alley leading
to the lookup while Tosh remained strug-
Cling on the pavement outside. Tosh slipped
and fell on the ice, but regained his feet and
knocked Koser into the gutter. He then
jumped upon and handcutted the man.
Meanwhile Hafner was having a bout with
Schwatka. Tosh went to his assistance and
Hafner took charge of the handcufled man.
In the struggle Schwatka struck Tosh blow
with some unknown weapon over the left
eye inflietng cash, but the two prisoners
were eventually put in cells. This morning
they were given a hearing before Justice
Williams and put under $500 bail each foI
trial at court on complaints of both Tosh
and Lee.
