have done much to the purses
hung up by Cooperstown. Well

HAIL STORM.

A hail storm visited the section
of country just north and north
east Of Colgate last Friday doing
considerable damage to crops.
Charley Williams, Of Colgate,
called at the PIONEER office and
left a sample Of wheat which had
been pounded by the hail. Mr..
Williams estimates, if conditions
would prove most favorable, he
could not possibly harvest over
half a crop, at the best, while
some pieces are worse than his.
1t is, surely too bad to see a man. S
fine crop pounded into the ground
and destroyed. 1t is to be hoped
that the damage is not as great
as it is thought, but, it is feared
that the crops are 70 far advanced
to revive much.

Smallpox At Valley City

= Valley City has thirty or forty
cases of smallpox, and which
was thought until DR.. Healey,
state health officer, investigated
the matter, to be merely chicken
pox. There have been something
over two hundred cases in the
vicinity in the past three months.
A pest house has been establisd-
ed and a thorough quarantine
ordered. There has not been
a death in all these cases and
most of them have not found it
necessary to call a physician.
An extra effort will be made to
stamp out the disease before cold
weather sets in, as the disease is
SAID to be much more severe in
cold weather.

LIGHTNING PLAYS PRANKs

Lightning struck the home of
Mr.. H. A. Northrup, ten miles
southwest of this city, last
Thursday morning, along about
2 o'clock. The lightning struck
the chimney passing down about
half way when the bolt seemed
to spread tearing the chimney
all to pieces throwing brick and
mortar into most every room in
the house and passed out of the
chimney down the stove pipe
running across the floor and tear
ing the carpet in shreds and at
last after making many darts in
to different parts of the house
struck down through the floor
and into the ground. The family
were all asleep in the house when
it struck and it was through dit
fculty that Mr.. Northrup got
the doors and windows open as
every room in the house had i'm
medlately filled with gas. Mr..
Northrup picked up a half scut-
tie of broken brick in the room
in which he was sleeping. A
large piece of brick struck Mr..
Northrup on the knee while in
bed. Lightning plays some fun
ny capers and this is surely one
of them. How the members Of
the family all escaped without
injury or the house not set on
fire is a miracle. The building
was insured.

1T WAS a WARM one

The North side VS. the South
side at base ball last Tuesday af-
ternoon for a purse of $1,000, and
to say that it was warm one is
putting it rather tame; it was sim
ply redhot game. The teams
were quite evenly matched-for
making errors sand running bases.
Harness in the box for the south
slders didn't do so bad, but he
wonld insist on throwing cork
screws-but then Harm is used
to that-it came natural. Prof.
Moe in the box for the northsid-
ers did some excellent work and it
made the southside fellows
hunt for that hole in the bat. The
game was an elegant sample of
game of ball played by would-be
ball players. AS you can very
plainly see by the score-19 to
20 in favor of the north-side.
Watch for date of next game.
Joe McCartY is a good pitcher,
but he can't stand it to be the
center of attraction for the girls.
1t rather unnerves him, and he
forgets he is PLAYING ball.
Through the courtesy of the
umpire the Southsiders lost the
game.
Johnnie Martin is a cyclone but
Chas. Murray refused to stand
the pounding.
Cooperstown ought to buck up
against either one of these mines
as kicke-s they would have their
equal.
"Therc was not an earned run
made during the whole game"
The only trouble with Chas.
Murray he hates to move too fast.
Albert Ward as short-stop is a
peach if he could only throw the
ball before he picks it up.
Shaw did some fine work as
manager of the Northsiders, but
then he has been over at Coop
erstown the past week and he
has either learned it or it is con-
tagious-at any rate he seems to
have learned the kick act in fine
shape in all its latest phrases.
Captain StandleY of the North
siders is all right but when the
game was called they were shy
on the money question and it was
found the Northsiders had but
80 cents up. They did some
rustling and the game was start

Carolen which occurred near
Oberon some few weeks ago.
The pen'lty fixed by the jury
is life Imprisonment. Borrows
murdered Carolen to obtain pos
session of his victims team.
Borrows tried to prove insanity
but was not successful, The
story as told in the confession
of Berrows ran about as follows:
"That he, Borrows had asked to
ride with him, and while getting
dinner near Oberon, Carolcn up
set the coffee, which led to a
quarrel. Borrows asserted that
Carolen struck at him with a
dou ble-bitted ak, and in self de-
tense he hit Carolen with a hat
chet. The injured man fell and
groaned. In order to put him
out of his misery Borrows had
struck him more blows with the
hate het, loaded the body into the
and started south, carrying the
remains until they became so Of
fensive that he was compelled to
dump them into the sandpit near
Courtenay and afterwards hid
