ORTONvILLE vs.. WEBSTER.
A Bad Defeat for the Visitors From
the Lake.

Saturday was by no means an ideal
| turned out to witness the game. The
fact that the Drill Bros. would appear
in the points for the visitors drew out
quite a number for they are prime
favorites with the Webster people.
Unfortunately Frank had a swollen
finger and was unable to pitch his usu-
| nj game. Besides Webster was feeling
chagrined over their defeat by the Elan
dreau and carried their batting eye to
the grounds and fell with full Force on
the ball. The locals put up only a fair
fielding game and by errors allowed
Ortonvilie to score several runs. Gruby
and Sauer played finely in the field, the
latter making one very sensational
catch. Cox pitched a good game but
did not have to let himself out to any
extent. Thiel;aan, OF Wheaton, who is
engaged by Aberdeen to pitch the Web
ster games played third base for Orion
vile but declined to so in the box. Lou
Drill caught is good style and Clark put
up a good game at first. The double
umpire system was used, Geo. Pfremmer
and Frank Watkins officiating.

ANIMALS THAT ACT.
Lockhart's Elephant Comedians With
Ringing Bros Circus.

And now comes the famous Ringing
bros, with the most astounding trained
NINA advertisement OF the century-a
company OF genuine comedy elephants
presenting vaudeville specialties and
even complete, laughable plays with
absolute fidelity to truth and nature.
and with an intelligence never before
exhibited in the brute creation. In
securing the wonderful Lockhartcomedy
elephants. Ringing Bros. have indeed
made p master stroke. Until the Lock
mart elephants appeared, it was general
y believed that the limit OF what could
be taught the elephant had been reach
ed. These comedy elephants have not
only shattered all previously conceived
ideas oil the possibilities OF animal train
ing, but they are, and will undoubtedly
continue to be for many years. the most
marvellous instance of the power OF man
over the brute creation that history
has any record OF. These wonderful
elephants do not go through their per-
Torrance with the ~perfunctory sub
mssiveness SO apparent in many train
ed animals, but they apply themselves
to the task of entertaining the vast
audiences that daily gather under Ring
ling Bros mammoth payilioas with an
intelligence, n sense OF the properties
and a keen evidence OF humor that is at
once marvellous and delightful. they
work absolutely without urging, seem
to appreciate the Importance of their
part OF the entertainment and un-
~mistakably evidence their delight when
the audience breaks out into long con
tinued applause. The repertoire OF the
Lockhart elephants embraces several
l%aughable comedies, among which is a
convulsing drama in several intensely
funny scenes. There is the cafe, with
two elephants wrangling over the pay
ment of their score; the arrest OF the
more belligerent for drunkenness; his
trial before the magistrate and his final
commitment to prison. All the actors
IN this amusing comedy are elephants.
They are all dressed for the characters
they assume, and, although not a word
is spoken, the pantomime actions are
so comprehensive that the story of the
play is apparent II all. In addition to
this and other comedies, the Lockhart
elephants dance iigs, 60 through the
measures OF a stately minuet, play upon
musical instruments, and perform
numberless other astounding and al
most incredible feats. These marvellous
ell ephant actors can be seen only with
Ringing Bros famous show, which

The rottenest base ball deal o. the
season is the refusal of Aberdeen to APP
pear here tomorrow as agreed upon.
Some time ago Mr.. Ochsenreiter was in
Aberdeen and on behalf of Webster
signed with the home management an
agreement TO play u series oil three
games, the first at Aberdeen, second at
| Webster, third at Aberdeen, the winner
OF each game to receive 60 per cent. OF
the gate receipts. The Webster club
fulfilled heir part and wenttoA Aberdeen.
The loss on the trip was about $40, but
no one made the slightest kick as they
believed they were dealing with men
who would keep their word. Webster
bad advertised the game and parties
who always attend the games from
Clark, Bradley, P%ierpont. Langford and
other points will have their long drives
for nothing. Today Aberdeen coolly
sends word that they cannot come.
| Webster under similar circumstances
would come il it had to pick up a nine
on the street and stand a loss OF 500.
The word OF a city should be as sacred
Az the word of a business man. The
fact OF the matter is that Aberdeen is
afraid TO come-it blowed itself for the
expense OF six players for the game
Tuesday and Is financially exhausted
and dare not bring down home players.

A GIFT.
Webster Presents FIandreau With a
Game.

~
The F1andreau Indian ball team, un-
der the supervision of Sutp. C.. b. Davis,
of the indian school, arrived Thursday
from Ortonville to play the game adver-
tised with the locals. The largest turn
out of the season was present to wit
ness the game, Notwithstanding it was
a miserable day for "a ball game. A
strong gale Of wind kept sweeping the
diamond, throwing clouds of dust in
the eyes Of the players. This was in a
degree responsible for many OF the
errors of the game, but it was clearly
an OFF day for the Webster team for in
the first part OF the game they played as
il they were trying to present the game
to their opponents. Errors were ire
quent and costly. Toward the end OF
the game they recovered their balance
and outbatted and outplayed the
other side, but the damage was too
great TO repair and the Flandreaus
won OUT ny u SCOTe Vi III W LIZ.
Eastman the Indian pitcher pitched a
strong game and for four innings had
the Webster batters on his list. After
that though, he was found often and
hard. Cox aud Howard making home
runs, the latter's hit being the longest
seen on the diamond this season.
0'Reagan started in the box for Web
ster and was wild, giving frequent
bases on balls which combined with
errors by the inield proved fatal. Cox
went into the box aud pitched the
game out. The Indians are u first
class team, lively players and good
stickers, but they had no license to
win this game. They did not expect to
win it and admitted after the game that
Webster was far stronger than Fargo
who debated them the day previous
at O~rtonville. They are a nice lot o
boys and enjoyed their stay in our city
very much. Supt. Davis and his wife
were very much pleased at the hospit
able manner in which they and the boys
were treated and promised that thu
team would return early in July.

the presence OF mind of his father who
went to his rescue, turned the steeds
