A FATAL ERROR.
Cost the Local Club a Game of
Ball Saturday,.

"Hod. Jones made a fatal error
! out on the East street base ball park
last Saturday afternoon. The fatal
error gave Olivia four scores and
a game of base ball which would
have gone to Redwood had the error
not have happened. Then, in the
fourth inning, Charlie Luscher made
another fatal error which gave
Olivia two runs. If the error had
not occurred the score would have
been a tie at the end of the ninth
inning.
The Olivia base ball club came
over shortly after dinner Saturday.
They were attired in we'll manufac-
tured uniforms and every one of the
boys looked as though they were
ready to send the ball over the fence
every time that they got ''swipe'
at it. Their practice game was fine
and the small crowd of Redwood
enthusiasts wondered where the
Redwood club would be at when the
ninth inning was finished. The
Redwood nine, not an assorted one.
but rather such as could be got to-
gether for the occasion, appeared on
the diamond in anirregular manner,
and the wonderment grew still
deeper as men not in practice an
nounced that they were going to
play. But these new men, outside
Of the batting, played good ball
while the old liners lost the game.
Louis Fleischer was doing excel
lent work as umpiring, up to the
seventh inning, when a close de-
cision was necessary on second base.
Louis decision was undoubtedly
right-it was in favor of the runner.
The Olivia boys were dissatisfied
and Louis left the game, and the
Hon. James Washington, the colored
orator, base ball enthusiast and
athlete from Redwood Falls town
ship, was called into the diamond,
His imposing appearance stopped
all future kicking
Olivia went at bat first The boys
failed to score, although Foster got
around the third on hit and a
steal. It the second inning White
was presented with base Tru-
man knocked fielder's choice to
short, and Luscher felded it to
Jones, nearby, with the intention of
making double play. Jones
muffed and where two men should
have been put out, both got safe,
and before three men were out
Olivia had four scores to its credit.
In the third inning three Oliviaites
| in a row went out at first. In the
fourth inning two more scores were
secured on an error of Luscher. In
the fifth and sixth innings Olivia
secured no scores. butin the seventh.
on triple by Truman, a double by
Custer and singles by Corey and
Maloney three more scores were
secured The eighth was scoreless,
but two more were added in the
ninth by singles from Tom. Kelly
and Corey and an error of Pratt in
muffing fly.

of the National Council, Jr. o. q. A. NJ,
which was held at Minneapolis They had
been gone twelve days and are much pleas
ed with their trip.
The most important proposition sub
rnitted to the National Council was to
change the name from Junior Order of
United American Mechanics to"The Order
of Americans The proposition was ac-
cepted by the National Council, and is to
be ratified by each Of the several State
Councils, and by majority of the sub
ordinate councils of the order. For some
time past there has been an objection to the
word mechanics" and desire to rename
the order. If the proposition is not favor
ably received by majority of the councils
the name will remain unchanged.
Another proposition adopted was the in
surance feature which will allow the carry
ing of from $500 to $4,000 insurance at the
option of the member. This will place the
OH a line with the other insur
ance orders Of the country.

Dility of Portland, Oregon, in 1901.

SENT TO NEW CASTLE

William, alias 'Billy" Cubbage, negro
of about 40 years of age, was held in $4,000
bail by Squire Reynolds on Wednesday
afternoon last, and in default was sent to
New Castle Jail in charge of Officer Hushe-
| beck. Cubbage was charged with assault
with intent to commit murder. His victim
was Nancy Pratt. also colored, and aged
about IS years. Warrants were sworn out
for his arrest before Magistrate Reynolds
on Friday of last week by the State Detec-
tives and not until Tuesday were the Off
GERS able to locate him. On that day State
Detective Witsil, constable Hushebeck and
the Squire went to the home of the woman
prepared to take proper evidence and to
make another attempt to find Cubbage.
They were successful in both. They found
the man picking cherries for Farmer Pratt.
1t was with much difficulty that they
learned his whereabouts, owing to the fact
that he had terrorized the country and
farmers were afraid he would return and
burn their buildings or do some other
equally lawless deed. He accompanied the
officers to this town and was held for trial.
No witnesses were summoned as he cons
fessed to assault and said he had struck
the woman twice with his fist and slapped
her twice with his open hand, Cubbage is
big, burly negro about six feet in heighth,
very strong and for some years has borne
bad reputation.

Hicks, predictions For July

| Prof. Hicks makes the following pre-
| dictions for July. The month will open
with fair weather for the most part over
the country. About the 3rd it will grow
much warmer to the westward, the baro-
| meter will fall, and general storm con-
ditions will pass eastward over the country
from 3rd to 9TH. Moon being at greatest
north declination on the fifth indicates
that winds will be southerly and that very
warm weather will come to climax about
that date. Rising barometer and cooler will
follow storm areas, causing more pleasant
temperatures, with brief squirt of quite
cool weather Immediately after the new
moon on the 7th. The Vulcan storm period
central on the 9th and blending with the
Mercury period up to the 18th, will bring
one of the 'heated TERMS of the summer
About the 14th to 18th will bring falling
barometer and much warmer weather, with
tendency to local, summer storms generally.
We predict that rains will be light, except
in rare cases. during all the remainder of
July. The next regular storm period will
fall from the 10Th to 22nd. Moon will be
furthest south on the 10th and nearest the
earth at her full on the 22nd' This will be
a period of threatening weather, with some |
rain and heavy bluster. This period will |
reach its elimination on and touching the |
22nd, about which date look for change to |
cooler and more pleasant weather, the same
to reach most sections before the 26th. |
The reactionary storm days, 26th to 2Sth,
will begin with rapid change to much
warmer in all western parts promptly on
the 25, this being the date Of moons pas
sage over the equator. Another depression
state of the barometer will pass over the
country during the 26th, 9th and 2sth
breaking into local, summer storms over
most parts. Threatening clouds with
gusts of wind, lightning and thunder, will
be the order during this period. Moderate
rains will fall of course, in many localities,
but general complaint of scarcity in rain
fall will be heard by the end of July.
