Great Falls, May 30.-TO-day for
national holiday has been characterized
in this city by quiet. At $3.50 this morn
ing the veterans of the civil war, ac-
companied by a number of citizens, pro-
ceeded to Highland cemetery, where
they decorated the graves of the fallen
The members of the Womans Relief
corps were also present and assisted
and while the decora tions were not very
elaborate, they spoke of the feeling
which the nation has for its dead
impressedly as If the flowers had cost
thousands of dollars. When the crowd
had finished with the decorations, the
delegation from Belt, the knights of
Pythias lodge and friends, appeared,
bearing the body of William c. OLeary
of Company I, a sacrifice in the last
war which the country has Waged. The
lodge burial ceremony was performed
over the remains with the assistance of
the veterans of the former war and the
body is the first to rest in the portion
of the cemetery marked off for soldiers.
This afternoon, in spite of a cold, blus-
tering wind, quite a crowd assembled
at the Black Eagle park to witness the
game of baseball between the court
house gang and the butchers nine
There was a goodly sprinkling of ladies
in the grand stand, although the
weather was unfavorable, and certainly
the mines have no reason to complain
that they were not encouraged. Among
the players who especially attracted ap-
plause We're DR.. Gelsthorpe, who held
down first base for the court house,
and Otto Schoenfeld at the bat. It
might be said in explanation that the
latter never failed to strike out and to
look and say unutterable things to the
umpire. The latter was DR.. Pittwood,
who gave excellent satisfaction to the
grand stand. The mines played five in
nings and resulted in score of 10 to 10
in favor of the butchers. The pitching
on both sides was exceptionally good,
but the court house nine was weakened
perceptibly by the absence of its three
athletes, Judge Leslie, Bill Birkenbuel
and John Athey At this hour their alb
sence from the field is still unexplained
and unexcused. The two mines were
made UP as follows: Butchers-Pitcher.
Al Brevort; catcher, Lee Nesbitt; first
base, Jack Doyle; second base, George
Anderson; third base, Fred Stidwell;
short stop, Joe Mullen; right field, J.
Clarity; center field. w. M. Peters; left

Pitcher, S. F. Spafford; catcher, H

thorpe; second base, " Fortune; third

err: left field o. Schoenfedt; short stop,
A. Nightlinger; center field, w. O'Leary.
During the third inning Daily, on third
base, sustained a compound fracture of
a finger. the joint protruding through
the flesh. He was assisted off the field
by the ambulance corps, under the
charge of DR.. A. F. Longeway. who
gave first aid to the injured in an APP
proved manner. The injury is really
quite a serious one and, being on the
right hand. will likely prove an incon-
Venence for several weeks to Mr.. DAILY
His place was filed by Wheeler, a
member of the Black Eagle nine.
While the game was decidedly one of
amateurs, it was a surprise to the
crowd, and far better than one usually
expects of a picked up nine.
This evening there is a public concert
by the Black Eagle band at the pavil-
ion, the following programme being
rendered: victorious America"
march, Tobali; overture, America" of
