= J T.
Fessenden, N. d., July 27.-This
week all eyes have been turned toward
Bowdon, for Bowdon doesn't allow the
dry weather and dull times to affect
the ever Interesting panorama of life
in that village. This panorama bor-
ders on an extravaganza, and has a.
change OF scenery every day and sey-.
cry night. III 81 Il S$
There was little 1nixup in that city
about three weeks ago, iii which d
preacher and a prominent business
man were the principals. The ripple
was supposed to have been smoothed
over and had been practically forgot
ten by most people outside Of BoWdon.
Last Sunday evening several boys came
up from Bowdon, and after attending
to some business returned with two
kegs Of beer. Upon arriving at Bow
don they decided to tap a keg in. q
blaeksmith's shop. While enjoying
themselves four or five masked men
came to the door and called one Of the
party out. AS he stepped out he was
seized and beaten into insensibility,
while anothe Of the white caps stood
off the boys inside with a. gun. The
party who was beaten into insensi-2
bility was thrown into a buggy while
the Whitecaps fled toward farm house
near town, firing several shots as they
went. s.
When the gang left the party in the
blacksmith shop hastened to the street
where they found their companion who
had been thrown into the buggy but
who had regained consciousness, The
beer party Immediately resolved itself
into vigilance committee and struck
out for revenge. s.'sss 81. " Z s s,
Going down to the aforesaid farm

the affair, was given sound beating.

they knew every member Of the white
caps, and among those named was the
preacher 3S KS
Complaint was entered the next
morning with Justice jackson, of Fes-

half the citizens Of Bowdon U While
the papers were being made out in Fes-

rifles They soon got word that the
sheriff was after them, when they dis

this time the sheriff was in Bowdon
and arrested the preacher. The cap

in hot pursuit, but failed to catch his

FOUGHT 70 THE FINISH
EXCITING GAME WON BY BREW
EIIS AT LEXINGTON PARK
YESTERDAY
FIELDERs WERE KEPT BUSY
II Was n Heavy Batting Game,
but Pretty Even Till
the Ninth In
ming.

For genuine enthusiasm and interest
the ball game between the Hamm Brew
ing company team and the Lennon &
Gibbons aggregation, in the Twin City
Amateur league series, at Lexington
park, yesterday afternoon, was the best
exhibition of the national game an in
st. Paul this season. Neither team play
ed exceptionally fast ball, but both played
in the same class, averaging nearly alike
throughout. There was plenty of hitting
to liven up the game, and as the field
ing of both teams was ragged at times
there were more errors than look we'll in
the tables. but each side Jared about alike
in this respect. so that when the brewers
finally won out by score of II to they
were credited with a well earned victory,
as they got off badly in the first inning by
allowing their opponents to lead by half
a dozen runs.
The kindness with which the batters
took to the respective pitchers may be
judged by the fact that only two players
were passed to first in the entire game.
while Art DenZer, a younger brother
of the renowned Roger Denzer succeeded
in tanning only six clOthiers, and Foley
got but one strike-out to his credit. This
kind of a game gave the fielders much
to do. In the first inning Lennon & Glib
bons went after the brewers in a slashing
manner, and lined out four clean hits
which, with three errors by the brewers,
netted six runs. 1t was one, two, three,
with the brewers their first time
up, but they shut out the clothiers the
next three innings. Denzer sent them,
too, to the field their second time at bat
in order, without any of the ambitious
batsmen making even a foul tip. In the
third inning the Hamms scored four runs
after Denzer had famed out two batters,
while Lennon & Gibbons dragged along to
the fifth inning before they got single
score again. They shut out the brewers
in the fourth, but the next time up the
Hamm team netted five more runs get
ting away in the lead. From this on
both teams eXerted every effort to win
out, but Lennon & Gibbons drew three
straight blanks, while the brewers gath
cred in a score in the seventh and another
one in the eighth. winning safely.
For Lennon & Gibbons, Henry Martin
played an excellent game at first base,
stopping some wild throws cleverly and
never Sinking several difficult chances.
Flaherty hit the ball every time he faced
Denzer, but managed to get only single
and a long two-base hit. Daily was handy
with the bat also and got a single and a
double, while Thompson wound up with
three singles to his credit Harry Clay
tor caught a good game for the clothiers
and lined out three singles, while Powers
got long three-base drive. Following
is the score:

Kramer won the quarter mile dash from

Another man to cause the 1000 specta-

beat out Mcfarland in the mile handicap
in an exciting finish and covered the dis
tance in POI 1-5. Stevens and Kramer
in the final heat of the quarter mile pro-
fessiOnal race were the first to bring the
crowd to their feet. The former gained
a lead of ten lengths before Kramer got
under way. III the second quarter the
eX-amateur champion pedaled as if for
dear life. Inch by inch he cut down
Stevens lead and passed under the wire
winner by less than a foot. Only one
heat of the team race between Kramer
and Eaton versus Freeman and Downing
was closely finished. In the first the
finish was so close that many thought
Freeman had won. In the succeeding

On his knees in the upper part of the
blind asylum on Blackwell's island Peter
Campbell thanked God for giving him
back his sight. He is the last of the
thee men sent to the almshouse as in
curably blind whose sight has been re-
stored by the skill of DR. Marple. the vis-
iting eye surgeon.
Thomas Elwood left the institution

weeks ago Ernest Schultz and Peter
Campbell had to undergo secondary oper-
ations. Schultz was able to see fairly
We'll at the time Elwood left but Camp
bells case, on account of his age, did not
progress so well
DR.. Marble and Dr. Shaw. the house
surgeon, removed the last bandages from
Campbell's eyes Wednesday, and grad
ually the room that he was in was bright
ened, and he saw for the first time in
fifteen years.
The old man had just passed his six
tieth birthday, and he had remarked on
that day that he never expected to see
the light again, but DR.. MARBLE told him
not to lose hope. He was the, most as
tonished man in the almshouse as he
looked around him and saw the ward
filled with patients and the doctors stand
ing before him.
Supt Roberts was called in, for he
has taken a deep interest in the three
cases. Mr.. Roberts grasped the old pa
TENTS hand and congratulated him
warmly.
Campbell was deeply moved. He could
not speak for minute. Finally he
said:
''BIr. Roberts, I have always wanted to
| see you. You are a fine looking man"
Mr.. Roberts then led Campbell into the
almshouse yard, and he saw distinctly
the buildings around him and counted
the doors and windows in several. He
was able to walk without a guide and
went as far as the river, where he looked
at the water. Campbell and Schultz were
shown to the grand jurors, who were Wis
iting the island, and their cases were eX-
plalned to them.
Both Supt Roberts and DR.. Marple are
delighted with the result of the blind
cases. DR.. Marple does not care yet to
make public his method of curing the
blind. He will make a report of the
| Blackwell's island cases to the American
Academy of Medicine in the near future.

1t was the first game of the season, and
while the play was rot up to what 1t viii
