Tuesdays Game
The two ball teams left OH Monday
nights passenger train for Montevideo,
the scene OF the remaining games. Not
w~ithstanding Monte's defeat on Monday
their followers felt confident OF taking
the next two games from Webster and
loudly proclaimed their faith in their
home team. This faith was rudely
shaken whe n the teams met on the dia-
mond Tuesday, for the boys simply
batted their famous Red River leag ue
battery, Berg & Schwartz, out OF the
business. The Webster people would
hardly have recognized their team in the
snappy. gingery game they put up. Up
to the third inning the score stood 3 TO
0 in favor OF Monte aad the Joy OF their
fans was freely expressed. Their reioic-
ing was soon turned to sorrow when
our boys went in and batted out eight
runs. Tho phenomenal battery was
exploded, the game vas won right there
and Montevideo was disconsolate. Jack
Broderick pitched and Lou. Drill caught
for Webster, and their head work in dis
posing of Monte's heavy batters was
simply immense. Billy O'Connor OF
Renville held down third base in place
OF Fox, who could not go down with
the boys, and he put up a splendid game.
As usual, Cox was right in the game and
his coaching struck the fancy OF the lair
sex present. The final score resulted,
Webster 13, Monte ).

Torrance Tuesday - to S.

The first game OF the series of three
ball games which had been arranged be-
tween the Montevideo and Webster clubs
was played at the local ball park last
Monday afternoon, and Webster won
by a score of IL to 8. Although the
Field Day game was much closer, this
was the best game on the DIAMOND here
this season. When it was learned that
Berg and Schwartz, late Of the Red River
league, were the Monte's battery, the
boys made up their minds they had to
play ball, and got their batting clothes
in such shape that they won out. The
Drill brothers were in the points for
Webster and did some very effective
work, striking out ten men. Ross Parks

Frank Drill had a record OF ten strike
outs.
Benson played a strong first and had
his batting eye open.
Sarff created considerable amusement
in the first inning by touching up nine
fouls and then tanning out.
The Monte boys entered their battery
as Hanson and Black but soon changed
when they found every one was on,
Lou. Drill put up a strong game be-
hind the bat, but played in hard luck
otherwise as he died on bases four times
out OF five times at bat.
Gruby and Fox done some nice bsse
rnnhing besides doing good work with
the stick. One time Fox touched up
eight fouls before getting a safe hit.
In the second inning. Benson swiped
the ball hard into left field which gave
Gooch a chanch to distinguish himself.
He made a pretty running catch and
threw Cox out at first.

Bonnie Benson played a great game
both days.
Montevideo is a good town-to stay

Frank Gruby was strictly in both
games and led all hands at the bat.
The Webster boys received many
courtesies at the hands OF Messrs. Schien
aud Levoy.
"What did Tom LAWYER say?" was
the first query thrown at the
Wednesday by the players.
When the Webster rooters broke out
in the eighth inning Wednesday, the
umpire stopped the game in astonish-
ment.
Monte's rooters called the boys "Web-
ster stiffs" before Tuesdays game. After
it was over they were called "St. Paul
professionals"
Cox made a great hit with the fair
sex. At n point in Tuesdays game q
lady jumped the wire and presented him
with a white parasol and he marched up
ard down the coaching lines pouring
hot shot into Monte.

Wednesdays Game.

The last game OF the series was played
yesterday, Webster presenting the Drill
boys as their battery, while Monte put
forth Otis OF the Western Association
and Schwartz. Webster failed to play
with the vim of the day before, but hit
Otis freely. Their fielding vas somewhat
loose in the first few innings. Both
teams hit the ball hard, and after the
fourth inning Webster steadied down
and took a great batting rally in the
eighth inning, netting five rune. But it
was too late in the game and victory
rested with Monte. The score was Ia
to 8. A Mr.. McEnery OF Minneapolis
umpired both games at M~ontevieeo.

CHEAP FARES FOR THE FIGHT
Round-Trip Rates From the East Will
be Very Low.

CHICAGO, Feb. 5.-The roads of
the Western Passenger Association have
been voting for the last few days upon
their own propositions to make reduced
rates to the scene of the Corbett-Fftz-
simmons fight in Nevada The first
proposition provides for rate of 500
from the Missouri River for the round
trip, which means a rate of 80 oU
from Chicago. The other plan is to
make a round trip rate of $40 less than
the regular round trip rate between
Chicago and Reno, New, which would
mean rate of 800 from Chicago.
The vote will not be completed until
tomorrow, and the chances are very
strong that the first proposition Will
be carried. In fact, one of the strong
est roads in the Western Passenger
Association has privately announced
that it will make the So 90 rate, even
though the associa ton declared against
it. 1t has full right to make this rate
in contradistinction to the action OF
the association by taking advantage on
the clause in the association permitting
independent action at the expiration OF
a ten-day notice given to the Chairman
of the association.
S. E. Halter of this city has been ap-
pointed by Dan Stuart general manager
of the bureau of information regarding
the fight.

WEEKLY REVIEW OF TRADE.
NO IMPORTANT CHANGE IN BUS
INESS APPEARS,
But the Number of Manufacturing Es-
tablishments Starting Up Greatly
Exceed Those Stopping.

NEW YORK, Feb. 5.-R. G. Dun &
row will say:
No important change in business ap-
pears, but the number of manufacture
ing establishments starting much eX
ceeds the number of those stopping
during the week, so much that the cur
cotton mills does not lessen the ag-
gregate productive force or amount of
wages paid.
There is a distinct increase in orders
for wooden goods, some gain in the
silk manufacture, awaiting condition,
with gain in one branch of boots and
shoes, and indications of better times
comes in the iron and steel manufact-
ure.
All symptoms are favorable in the
money market, and a large sale of Sc
curities in connection with the North
ern Pacific and Oregon Navigation in
terests to European purchases will put
off still further the possibility of gold
exports 1t is also cheering evidence of
confidence among European investors.
To many it is the most perpleXing
feature of current events thai wheat
does not rise much, though it has ad-
vanced 13s cents for the week Allan

MUST RETURN THE PROPERTY.
Mrs. Craig viii Not Yet Enjoy Posses
sion of Her Brothers. Estate.

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. ). = Mrs.
Mary Craig must return to her brother,
Robert Bright, all the money and real
estate he transferred her when he be-
lieved he was on his death bed. Judge
Hebbard rendered d decision to that
effect to-day.
On January Z, 1895, Bright assigned
to his sister a bank book which showed
that he had $16,9S7 on deposit, and
also executed to her deeds conveying to
her several valuable pieces of real es-
tate He did this because he was very
i'll and believed that he was dying, and
he was anxious to prevent attorneys
from handling his property after death.
A few months later Bright began TO
rally, and he then concluded that his
time to die had not come, and that he
would like to enjoy the possession of
his property for a while longer. But
Mrs. Craig objected to being deprived
of her wealth, and when he demanded
the return Of the bank book and the
cancellation of the deeds she declined
to comply with his wishes. He accord
irgly brought suit to recover his prop
erty, alleging that it had been con-
veyed to his sister upon the distinct un-
ueFStandlnS LflaL IL SHouIu De EtluIuSu
should he regain his health.
Mrs. Craig resisted the suit on the
ground that the gift was absolute, and
could not be revoked.
Judge Hebbard decided otherwise. He
held that the law provided that gifts
made in view of death could be re-
voked at any time He decreed that
Bright was entitled to recover his
bank account and that the deeds
should be cancelled, but that the de-
fendant was entitled to $1,000 she ex-
pended in taxes, repairs, etc.

LEWISTON Qdaho), Feb. 5.-The

Indian, was found lying in the muddy
road to-day. He had been in this city

Lapwai, when he was waylaid and shot
10y some unknown assassin
Levi was proprietor of Lewis Hell,
an Indian gambling resort, and was
accused of buncoing and robbing the
red men who visited his house. He was
recently principal in an attempted
hold-up, in which one John Jones, an
Indian enemy, was badly wounded with
a knife in the hands of Levi 1t IS
also rumored that some threats were
made after the cutting affray occurred.
These facts lead to the belief that
the murder was committed by Indians
and Jones is suspected by the officers.

The condition of the market is not ex-
plained by any special confirmation,

Sales of wool have been smaller than

plOyed. There has only been a slight

and rods at $21. while No. 21 black
sheets are quoted at only two cents.
Reports that p, 600 tons of steel plate
and sheet bars have been exported to
England are only indications of the
temporary excess of supply over de-
mand in this country, and are not sup
posed to have realized any profits. Yet
it is stated that prices of cast pipe are
from 81 to So per ton lower at New
York than at Scotch works. Bars are
quoted at the lowest price ever known
at Philadelphia, without much improve
ment in the demand and steel rails are
still inactive and unchanged in price,
the railroads waiting for a decline cor
responding to the fall in billets. But,
on the whole, the demand for iron and
steel products is slowly gaining, and a
considerable portion of the works is
fully employed, though the gain is not
yet enough for those who have taken
large stocks of material or products on
speculation.
Failures for the week have been o1l
in the United States, against 3223 last
