Base Ball Notes.

GanxeN made . grave mistake in the
second inning in allowing De Montreville
to hit the ball. Pitcher Lewis is new
man and is not expected to know the hard
hitters Of the big league. but CANCEL is an
old bird and should have tipped his pitcher
OF. BY sending De Montrevilie to first on
balls ana playing for Selbach. who has
been hitting poorly 80 far this season. II
could hardly have been worse. and may
have saved two runs. Duffy wasn't. slow In
calling GanselI down on the play when the
players went to the bench.

Benjamin Bell Falls in Well and is

Tuesday morning Benjamin Bell,
a prominent farmer living one mile
north of Papinville, after eating his
breakfast went to the we'll to repair
the rope to the bucket. The well
had platform over it and the rope
on the bucket was operated by a
pulley over head. When the acci
dent occurred the family were still
at the breakfast table, and it is not
known just how ho came to fall in
the we'll
A pair of nippers used to cut wire
and piece of wire was found at the
we'll curb and it is suppose he had
reached to the pully to attach the
wire to the bucket and rope and los
ing his balance went down. 1t was
nearly an hour before the family
missed him and made a search.
Finding that he had been at the
we'll and missing the bucket, which
had gone down IN the well, and the
disarrangement Of the platform,
their fears were aroused and neigh
bors were called. A search of the
we'll soon revealed the body, which
was lifted to the top Coroner Renick
was summoned and held an inquest,
the verdict being in accordance with
the above facts.

The two men arrested by the Of
fcers last week for stealing harness.
notice of which appeared in the
TINES, had their trial before Squire
Hemstreet Saturday. They gave
their names as Nate Silvy and Sam
Davis. The charge ON which they
were tried Saturday was for The
petit larceny of some collars, and
was for the purpose Of holding them
until the box of harness which The
thieves shipped to Odessa, Mo !,
could be returned and examined. In
this box it is supposed the harness
of Messrs. Hale, Isop, Butler and
probably others will be found. If
this is the case, then the charge of
burglary and grand larceny will be
preferred and the men will be held
for the grand jury at the June term
of court.
When the above parties were ar
rested at their camp on the creek,
about three miles east of town, they
had in their possession MIR. Hah' 8

living near Richards, Vernon county,

near his place he is confident they
have his harness also. One ,et
taken from Mr.. Willhoit was ban
new.
From the description of a set OF
harness seen at the camp by the of-
icers when making the arrest they
are satisfied they belonged to he
above gentleman. This set of har.
ness has disappeared and the women
at the camp refuse to tell what they
did with it.
The box at Odessa has been hdd
at that place to catch the man calling
for it, but as a sufficient lengtho Of
time has elapsed without develtp

box has been examined by the rsil
