=, Missoula, July II.
The depot Sunday morning presented
q more active appearance from 3 O'Clock
$3.50 than 1t has for many moons be-
fore. In that brief half hour the Copper
and No. 4, e%astbound, came in and
pulled out, and the excursion train of
2oO passengers left for Hamilton with
Esmay's brass band and Missoula's
cracker-jack baseball team on board.
There were scores Of young ladies on the
looking sweet and fresh in their
light gauze dresses, and each carried a
tin horn, with which they kept up a con-
tinual blow and din from the time the
train left at $3.50 till it returned to Mis-
soula that night at 1O:40. Everybody
wore Missoula's colors, red and white,
and all enjoyed themselves hugely dur
ing the entire day.
Hamilton was reached at 10:3D and the
train from Missoula was
greeted by a crowd OF less than a dozen
people at the depot. After a selection
by the band the line of march was head
ed for the Ravalli hotel, where the ex-
cursionists took possession, and the la
dies furnished piano music and singing
in the parlors till luncheon, after which
everybody filed out to the ball grounds,
where they witnessed a rank game of
ball; rank, because there was only one
team on the diamond. The Hamilton
ians were no match for the Missoulians,
and the citizens seemed tt realize the
fact, or to a had a hunch, Judging
from the small attendance at the game.

OF Lyons & Williams announced that he
would present a hat to any member Of
the MiSsoula team who would make a
home run. This vas won by Myers, the
pitcher, who made the run with ease. If
Hamilton had a few more men like 8.
Tate. their catcher, the game would have
been more interesting. The score stood
at the end of the ninth inning, Missoula
80 and Hamilton 5.
Charley Mitchell, who has acted as
catcher for the Misso,Aa team for some
time past, and who was billed to catch
for Missoula Sunday, was stricken with
a slight attack of rheumatism Friday
afternoon. It affected his knees and al
though he could hardly walk he felt good
and insisted on being taken to the game
at Hamilton onSunday. He was carried
from a hack TO the train and from the
train to the hotel, ETC., all day by his
many friends, and he enjoyed himself
pretty we'll up till about 5 o'cock, when
the strain and excitement proved too
much for him and he collapsed. seemingly
paralyzed from the hips down. A doc
tor was called bu tcould do little for
him, and he was carried to the train on
a stretcher. He could not move without
pain and willing hands carried him from
the depot to the third floor of the Ham

for. Mr.. Mitchell is an employe of the
Northern Pacific machine shops and has
been here since January. The climate
here don't seem to agree with him and he
is going back to Brainard, Mimi, as soon
as he is able to move.
