leans were awarded the victory by a
score of IA to r. There were large
beads of persriration rolling off the
fats by that time and even the leans
were anything but fresh. The fats had
been gaining some in the last two in
nings and they wanted to continue
very badly and they gave their lean
opponents several sallies about being
''quitters;" but the latter could not be
induced to play any more, principally
on account of the fact that Cross
voice had given out and the key of
beer which every player was entitled
to tap. when he reached third base
was in the same condition. So after
considerable argument ii was con-
cluded to stop the play There were a
number of changes in the players dur
ing the game. Smith caught for the
fats-for three innings, and then he
gave way to Knickerbocker of the Ju-
bilee team, though the latter was
hardly eligible from a standpoint of
avordupois. Smith played in center
field for the remainder of the game and
Conlon. who had played there pre-
viously, had enough and quit. On the
lean side Perkins and Slavery played
center and left respectively for three
innings and then gave way to Lewis
AMI Clark. Harry Human umpired
the game and when one or two Cb-
streperous fats questioned some Of his
decisions quite fercibly he was Obliged
to inform them that they were cross
eyed and could not tell fair ball from
Il foul one
The fats went to bat first and they
started out very favorably by sending
II men to the bat before the side was
put out, and they scored seven runs.
It continued to look favorable for them
when the leans went to the bat the first
time. for the first man UP went out
on strikes The tide turned then. how
ever. for they tied the fats by piling up
seven runs in succession and then the
nevt two men went out. In the second
inning the fats went out in one. two,
three order, and the leans scored six
runs. Disaster still seemed to cling TO
the fats. for in the third inning also
they went out in one, two, three order.
and neither in the second nor third in
nings did one of the fats get as far as
third. while the leans scored another
run in the third. making the game
stand Il to Z, in favor of the leans, at
the opening of the fourth. Then the
fats commenced TO pick up and they
made two runs in the fourth and shut
their opponents out, one, two, three.
In the fifth the fats scored three more
runs. increasing their total to II, and
the leans concluded that their victory
was pronounced enough anu lHey ulu
not go TO the bat in that inning.
The runs were made as follows:

DARING JACK sTlLLWEu.
His Larks Were as Audacious as His
Exploits Were Courageous.

Kansas City Star: The western
plainsman is type that is now almost
extinct. Hidden away in Oklahoma
territory is a man who has been iden-
titled with the history of the plains dur
ing the last so years
Jack Stilwell, scout and Indian
fighter known to all the frontier men
and army officers of the west, now lives
in the little village of Anardarko on
the Kiowa and Comanche reservation
Like most men of his type, he dislikes
the civilization of the large cities and
has followed frontier life TO its last ex-
emplificatiOn in the Indian territory.
Jack Stiiwell first achieved distinc-
ton by the part he took in Eorsythe's
famous fight on the Aricaree Fork in
1868. The little band under Forsvthe
besieged on an island, had withstood
the repeated attacks of a thousand
Cheyennes lead by old Roman Nose for
two days. But their number was stead
lily decreasing, their ammunition was
failing and they had nothing to eat but
the flesh of their dead mules. Death
and torture seemed stalking in upon
them from the sand hills. There was
but one hope for them; some one must
carry the news of their distress to the
forts on the Union Pacific, and bring
troops to their relief. Their position
was entirely surrounded by the painted
warriors of Roman Nose, they had no
horses and the nearest post Fort Wal
lace, was 100 miles away. But it was
reinforcements or death by the most
cruel torture that the savages could
devise.
The scouts undertook the journey,
succeeded in eluding the Gordon of
Cheyennes and reached the open prai-
RE One of them was Jack Stifwell,
then boy of IS. They hid in ravines
by day and travelled by night. Though
on foot Stilweli reached Fort Wallace
on the second night and two troops of
cavalry rode away 10 the rescue of For
sythe and his gallant band. A full ac-
count Of this fight may be found in
Buffalo Bits book, and Forsvthe him
self described it in Harper's Magazine
for June. 1885.
The next winter occurred Clusters
campaign and the battle of the Wa
shita. Jack Stilwell was with Clusters
column as a scout. and in all the In
dian fighting in the southwest from
that time on. After all the Indians
were brought in and settled peacefully
on reservations, he was invited by Cody
TO become a member of his aggrega-
ton, which he did. and he travelled with
the Wild West show for several years
When Oklahoma was opened TO
settlement he went to FL Reno, where
he was police judge for time The
numerous acts Of lawlessness in the
territory took many of her citizens up
TO Wichita to the sessions of the federal
court. When Jack Stilwell went up the
people of Wichita usually knew that
he was there. He, with some of his
friends were in the habit of livening
up the town by various kinds of freak
ish sport.
On one occasion he hired hearse
and they were going TO take a drive
over town when the undertaken learned
that there was no funeral and vetoed
the thing Just as Jack was crawling

chose, but they had to give up the ride

toierably good. Jack and some OF his
friends were walking down the street
when they came to a bright, newly
painted BARRIERS pole.
Jack sought the proprietor. found
what the pole cost and bought IL on the
spot. Then the crowd hoisted it to their
shoulders and went on down the street

morning came they appeared for trial.
and Jack explained that the pole was
his and he had paid for it; that he was
going to take il to Oklahoma, where
the natives had never seen a BARRIERS
pole. and it would be an object of
curiosity and wonder Then ne sent
for the barber from whom he had pur-
chased the pole. and the result was
that they were all released.
Whereupon they shouldered their
pole and marched down the street
again. to be arrested by another police
man and brought up before the judge
again AS soon as the judge saw them
he ordered the officer to let them go.
They started out in another direction,
only to be arrested for the third time.
In the end the chief of police was
obliged to issue a general order stating
that the pole belonged to Stilwell and
he should not be molested. AT the same
time he intimated to Jack that they
had had sport enough and it would be
we'll for him TO take his pole and re-
turn TO his native wilds.
Jack has since reformed altogether,
got married and settled down at Ana
darko. President Cleveland appointed
him United States court commissioner
for the Kiowa and Comanche reserva-
ton and he is now known as Judge"
