PLAY A TIE GAME.
RICHMOND CHAMPIONS FIGHT THE
BRIDEGROOMs TO A sTANDsTILL.
NEITHER TEAM ABLE TO WIN.
Donovan, the Hero of the Contest,
Pitches Great Ball, and Keeps the
Borough Lnds Guessing-Brookiyn
Player Injured I'm n Collision.

The Richmond Champions played the
Brooklyn BridegroOms TO a standstill yes
terday. and but for a lucky hit Of Jen-
nings in the ninth would undoubtedly
have taken victory from Hanlon's beau
ties.
The game was well-played throughout.
and the finish was full Of excitement.
Goodwin tossed the first half Of the con-
test, and the Bridegrooms handled him
I'm a rather unfeeling manner. Donovan
entered the box i'm the sixth inning, and
from that time on had the big leaguers
at his mercy He tossed them swift ones
they could not find. and then mixed Up
some puzzlers, causing the Brldegrooms
10 lose their heads and punch holes in the
atmosphere.
DONOVAN DID 1T.
Donovan set the crowd Of rooters wild
when in the ninth inning. with the score
standing to in Brooklyn's favor, he
picked up the ash. with three men on
bases. and lined bail into deep right
field. scoring two Of the three. He was
a hero.
Though kept guessing by Donovan, the
Brooklynites had things their own way
up to the ninth, but the champions then
got TO work on Dunn's delivery. and they
scored four runs and the lead. 1t was do
or die with the Bridegrooms thereafter
and after two of their men had gone
down, Hughey Jennings lined out safe
hit and on Cassidy's two~bagger subse-
quently crossed the rubber, tying the
score.
CALLED THE GAME.
The rooters were anxious to see the
conclusion of the contest, but Hanlon
was satisfied. and in order 10 catch a
train he called his men off. and the game
was brought TO a close.
Jones. Brooklyn's clever centre-felder,
was slightly injured by a collision he had
with Anderson while chasing a high fly.
but he will be back in the game in day

QUOTED MARK TWAIN.
Judge Kelly Thinks 1t Better to Be
Good and Lonesome.

Judge Kelly in the district court yes
terday filed a decision denying the plain
tiff's motion for judgment, notwithstand-
ing the verdict in the case of e. G. Boz
man versus Frederick H. Parshall. The
plaintiffs are game dealers at Pond
Greek, Okla, and shipped a quantity of
quail to Parshall, a local commission
man. The latter refused to SETTLE and
on a suit for the value of the quail the
case was thrown out of court.
In memorandum accompanying the
decision the court says: I'm the face
of such indisputable facts it is idle to say
that the sale was not made by the plain
tiffs with a view to the violation of the
game laws of Oklahoma territory to ex-
port the quail to Minnesota. And 1t Is
equally fallacious to reason that the
shipment OF goods were merely collateral
to the sale. 1 have little respect for
one, like the defendant, who violates the
law and pleads it to escape his contract
liability. But the plaintiffs are just as
bad, and 1t is a case of the pot calling
the kettle black. It Is best to obey the
game laws and be good; and, though
Mark Twain suggests, you may be lone
some, you will not meet with legal diff
culties like these"

DeDOsitOrs Never Received Any

ferred Creditor, Was Allowed a
First Option on the Assets.

a commission created by the last legis-
Iature, consisting of the governor, state
auditor and attorney general, to bid in
the assets Of the defunct State Bank of
Minneapolis, yesterday performed it's mis-
sion. Some time ago the commission
bid in the notes and judgments and yes
terday the real property was bid in at
$l6,55O and the amount accredited upon
the states claim.
The depositors of the bank never re-
ceived anything from the assets and the
state being a preferred creditor is al
lowed first option at the assets. AS the
real estate when held In the name of the
state is not subject to taxation, it is
quite likely that the state will realize
something from the assets. The prop
erty, much of, it, would be Of little value
If sold now at a forced sale, yet If held
for some years Will unquestionably bring
the state an amount which will be near
the total amount of the states claim.

attorney general, and S. G. Iverson the

TO WIND UP The GERHAlIi
FORMER PRESIDENT WILLTUS HAS
BEEN PLACED IN CHARGE
OF AFFAIRS
His Compensation Fixed at $500
Per MOnth-AII Creditors Except
Stockholders Likely to Be
Paid.

Judge Bum yesterday filed an order in
the district court appointing former
President Gustav Willius to take charge
of the affairs of the defunct Germania
bank pending liquidation. The action
was taken on the application of Bank
Examiner E. NJ Pope
In the order the court says the ap-
po1ntment IS made because "said bank
is unable to pay its just debts in the or
binary course of business as they ma
ture and since July II, 1899, has refused
to pay its depositors"
Mr.. Willius is allowed 5000 per month
for his services and is required to give
bond in the sum of $4,000. His conduct
OF affairs, it is provided, is to be under
the supervision of the bank examiner.
In making his application Gen.
Pope reviewed the suspension of
the bank, which reported to him
officially July II, at which time he took
possession Of the institution.
Aside from the merely routine allega-
tons OF the petition, the public examiner
says he has made q careful Investigation
OF the affairs of the bank, and is informed
ana believes and so alleges the fact to
be that all those represented by the stock
can be paid in full from the assets of the
bank. That the liabilities, including the
capital stock of $2OO, 900, amount to S752.-
172.54, and that the assets nominally ex-
coed that sum. The assets, he. adds.
consist of both real estate and personal
property.
The court says with respect to this de-
tail; Two hundred dollars a month pend
Ing liquidation, subject to modification. -
The order of the court in the usual
terms, commands the officers of the bank
to turn over to Mr.. Willius all of the
books and properties of the bank
1t was the intention Of the public ex-
an1fner to return the assets to the bank.
but 1t was learned that some of the
creditors were merely waiting for this to
be done when they would bring suit
with a view to securing preference over
others. The bank officers themselves in
formed the department Of this intention
of man to take charge to avoid the
trouble.
