ment Accord
Our Boys.

A few weeks ago the fanatics sat in
the grand stand and smiled down at
the Cow Boys. We were proud of
them. They had handed Miles City
the first one of the season, had defeat
ed the Sheep Shearers and returned
to Milestown the Fourth to give the
Pumpkin Rollers the hardest battle
of their career.
The two games they played at Red
Lodge Saturday and Sunday have
shown the boys to be lacking in prac-
tice. team work, ability to hit the ball
and sand, and it is to be hoped that
they will profit by their defeats, which
they no doubt will.
Up to the sixth inning in the first
game the score stood to 2, but at this
stage the visitors fell down and were
ridden over rough shod by the Miners.
and were unable to regain during the
the game. AT the conclusion the score
stood IL to > favorable to Red Lodge.
Taylor pitched a good game for the
Low BOYS. out the Miners 1nalDta lned
their reputation as hard hitters, and
had our pitcher received proper sup
port the result may have been gratify-
ing to us.
After a good nights rest the Forsy-
thians reappeared on the diamond
Sunday afternoon looking stronger and
wiser. The game was called at three
O'Clock and for the first three or four
innings fast article of ball was play
ed, and for while it seemed that our
young men would redeem themselves,
but owing to several decidedly rank
decisions by the umpire, they lost sand
and permitted their opponents to pile
up several runs. Red Lodge won by
d score of II to 8.
Mcdonald, the ''Indian pitcher, -
threw several good innings for the Cow
Boys. but his recent illness soon told
on him and Taylor pitched the latter
part of the game.

A petition was granted to j. @
vallandingham TO sell Intoxicating
liquors at the old O'Brien place.
Several petitions for the putting in
and changing of street lamps were
brought up and referred to the light
committee.
| Councilman Laffollet then brought
up the question Of exempting the
property of Mrs Lutz from taxation
on account of her illness and inabiI-
ity to support herself
The mayor then stated that three
of the members of the library board
had terms expiring this year and by
the provisions the council were to
elect members to ill their places on
the first regular meeting in July. The
terms of Miss Benlah Bennett, Mrs. A..
p Spencer and Mrs. Richard Burke
expired at this date and considerable
discussion was aroused over the cleo
ton Many OF the council thought
that the members should be chosen
from the west as well as the east end
of town while many thought a COM
petent and energetic person all that
was ne, essary. The names were
taken up separately, Mrs. Burke be-
ing reelected and Mrs. Ed. Taylor
and Prof. A. Hull being substituted
for Miss Bennett and Mrs. Spencer
Next came the report of the city
officers including that of the street
and sidewalk commissioners, the
mayors report and the clerks list of
appropriations. Then came the re-
port of the claims committee which
was accepted and the claims allowed,
after which A. Q. Wooster OF the
Journal was given the floor.
He brought forward petition ask
ing that the mayor be instructed to
sign a warrant granting payment for
the publication of the street car
franchise and after some delay and
the usual amount of discussion the
petition was granted.
The question of the water trough
on 2nd street between High and LIST
avenues was next considered. The
trough was recently moved several
feet nearer the Klingman building
and it was requested that it be moved
farther away. Some discussion fol
lowed but the matter was finally
dropped without any action having
been taken.
The alley near the Standard Oh
Co.'S. works which has recently been
filed with water was next consid
cred but no action was taken.
Dick Atchison then came forward
with claim of $1,000 for damages to
tools and other property caused by
sewer leakage near his shop. The
claim was allowed without hesitation
and the council then adjourned.

A ROUGH RIDER.
Maxwell O'Brien Gains Considerable
NOtoriety I'm n Runaway

Master Maxwell O'Brien, of Ottum
wa, well known In this city as the
grandson of Mrs. Lou Abraham, has
made himself somewhat famous in
his residence town by his performance
In a runaway the other day. Maxwell
used to wear a rough riders suit when
spending several weeks in this city.
The report of his adventure clipped
from the Ottumwa Courier would
seem to indicate that the young man
has claim upon new suit of rough
riders clothes. The Courier says:
Maxwell O'Brien, the young son
of Dan O'Brien, is rough rider of
the first water and il the horse he
rides does not pitch him over the
First National Bank building or some
thing of that kind for few years,
Max will rank up with the best of
them as an equestrian. This morn
ing Max and his mount tore up Mar
ket street. The horse was running
away but that did not bother the
rider. He sat in the saddle with
dig, ity and held on to the reins with
all his strength. The boy kept his
head, guided the animal up the hill
where it finally stopped near the top,
glad to give up. 1t is said that Max
rather enjoys the performance, which
would scare ordinary boys to death. +"

IOWA CROP REPORT.
Weekly Bulletin Issued by the
Weather Bureau.
DE Mo1Nns. low, JuIy ).

LIES MOINESt IOWA, July 3.
The weather was exceedingly hot
from the ist to the 5th, the heated
period eliminating in maximum
temperatures from 100 to 104 degrees
at numerous stations on the 4th inst.
The intensity of the heat was relieved
to some extent by local thunder
storms and wind squalls, from the
Isl to 4th, and numerous stations in
the southwestern and northern dis
tricts report more than the normal
amount of rainfall. Probably three
fourths of the state received fair
amount OF moisture, but the intense
heat and high winds caused rapid
evaporation, and the effects OF dry
weather are noted in the pastures,
gardens and grain fields. In some
sections the oats crop has been pre-
maturely ripened, and is probable
that the quality of spring wheat and
barley has been somewhat impaired
by excessive heat
Good progress has been made in
haying and the conditions have been
favorable for securing an excellent
quality of hay. Oats and barley are
being cut, and spring wheat is about
ready for the harvest.
The corn crop is generally in good
condition, and the bulk of 1t has been
laid by, with clean fields and fair
prospects. In limited portions of the
southeast district the reports state
that corn has already suffered some
damage from heat and drouth; and
these reports may be taken to signify
that it is near the danger line, but
may be restored by timely rainfall
The pastures, early potatoes, garden
truck, and berries have thus far Uuf-
fered the worst effects of the hot
winds The apple crop has declined
in condition as the result of intense
heat.

They fly to taste the speeches. Joy

And laughs mirthless laugh

Badly DAMAGED.

mill that was badly burned by fire on
the morning of Monday, July s, is
more damaged than was at first sup
posed by the owner of the place. He
thought that the fire had not been
hot enough to make great damage.
Subsequent examination however
shows that the damage is very severe
amounting in some particular cases
to total destruction. The loss will be
greater than was at first anticipated.
