The NTillers are simply outclassed Yes
telday's win put an everlasting cinch on
that statement. The series now stands
II to 6 in favor of ST. Paul.
Cogan pitches his last game for St.
Paul this season today. His business af-
fairs at home compel him to go there.
Turn out and give Dick the glad hand.
He has pitched great ball for the Saints,
and has been one Of the hardest workers
for the success of the team. He is de-
serving of all that the fans can give him.
What do you think of Higgins? He
hCmer. and Two singles. And 'Old Bill''
Wilson was there, too. His record was
two-sacker and four-soaker These
two men are entitled to large chunk
of the credit for winning the five straight
games from Minneapolis.
Cook pitched his eighth game yester-
day. He has lost but one since Joining
the team. and that one was the first that
he played. Seven straight wins Is a rec
ord that would make some of the stars
of the big leagues take off their caps.

And to think that Harry was only press
and Cogan would make a pitching corps
good enough for any big league team.
The Red Caps kept upotheir record in
stealing bases. Yesterday they landed
total of ten. Had they acquired this hab-
it earlier in the season there is no doubt
but that their total for the season would
be double that of any other team in the
league, and there is no question that they
are leading the bunch by a good margin
at the present time.

AT CHARTER OAK PARK.
Favorite Wins Each Race on the
Card in Straight Heats.

HARTFORD, Conn, Sept. 4.-There
We're four races on the card for the
second day of the Grand Circuit
meeting at Charter Oak park this after
noon and the favorite won in each race
in straight heats. An attendance of
about $500 was present. The weather
was superb and the track in fine CON
d1t1on. The contests were the 2:O9 pace
the Horse Review stakes for three-year-
old trotters, the free for all pace and
the PIP trot. Shadow Chimes was a.
strong favorfte at two to one over the
field In the 2:0s pace. He won the race
handily and lowered his best previous
record to 2:06sz. The mare Carmine,
driven by ]. Kervick, showed we'll in the
second heat and pressed Shadow Chimes
to the three-quarter post. There she fell
away and the bay stallion took the heat
with comparative ease. Rowellan had an
easy time in the race for the colts Haw-
thorne was a fair second in each heat.
but could not make the Son of Abdell
extend himself. j. Malcolm Forbes colt,
Admiral Dewey, sired by Bingen, out of
Nancy Hanks, was entered in this race,
but slight lameness developed in one
OF his fore legs early in the week and
it was not thought advisable to start
him.

MALEY AND HIS BOND DEPART
No Trace of Witness or His Security,
and the State Passes Over Big
Ore Stealing Case.

Owing to the fact that states witness
Al Maley has disappeared. the case OF
the State against John Boyd, charged
o. bullion from the vaults of the BIZ
Metallic Mining company at Philipsburg
about two years ago, will probably not
BE- tried at this term of Judge McCler-
mans court The case was set for to-
morrow, but this afternoon the county
attorney filed an affidavit in support of
OF a continuance. In the document he
stated that Maley was very material
witness in behalf of the state and with
fout his testimony the state could not
safely go to trial.
1t is alleged that Maley was hired by
lloyd to haul the bullion from Philips
burg to Butte and was paid $40 for his
services.
I Maley was arrested as a witness in
connection with the alleged offense and
held under bond of $500, but few
months ago the bond was withdrawn and
Naley allowed his liberty. Since then he
has:nOt been around much. For month
or more officers have been looking for
him, but without success
The bond given by Maley has also dis
appeared as effectually as Maley him
self. and no one seems to know anything
OF it's whereabouts. The office of the
Sheriff and clerk of the court has been
vainly searched for it. Maley was re-
leased on the bond April 6, 1900. p. II.
Logan was then sheriff of the county.

LIGHT DAY IN POLICE COURT
Two Defendants Brought Before Judge
Boyle-McDonald Fined and
Stigarts Case Continued,

For the lack of numbers in police court
this morning the time consumed by Rob-
ert Mcdonald in his pleading for len
iency on simple charge of drunkenness
occupied about thirty minutes of time.
The limit of drunk charge is usually S.
and Mcdonald was no exception. He
will remain in Jail two and one-half
d. $500 his fine is paid.
Mcdonald claimed to be a miner en-
ployed by the Gold Hill mining COM
pany and stated that he had never be-
come so saturated with the fight pro-
voker before as to loose his bearings.
He couldn'taccount for his appearance
before Judge Boyle, but said that he
would gladly go to work if permitted
to depart.
When the fine had been imposed Nc
Donald walked to Judge BOyle's desk
and, after swelling out three or four
inches, stated that he would send the
money in from camp as soon as he ar
rived there. This being contrary to the
rules of the city magistrates court the
miner was compelled to "shoot the
chuteS."
Harry Stigart, arrested on charge of
assaulting c. H. Masterson, pleaded not
guilty and will have a hearing at three
O'Clock Friday afternoon.

Pencil Pushers of the State Will Take
Ten Days Trip to the Flathead
County Metropolis-Press Asso-
citation Members Are a Great
Gang for Midsummer Sky
Larking.

Every year the editors of the state Of
State Press association is one of the old
est organizations in the state. and it
has come to be one Of the most fraternal
of all the societies formed among the
residents of the Treasure state. The
membership comprises all newspaper men
in Montana who keep abreast of the
times and have money enough to pay he
annual dues. The association is wei, Of
ficered and it's annual meetings we'll at
tended. Not few of the meetings of
the press association are among the most
pleasant memories that linger in the
minds of newspaper men of the state.
Last year the meeting was held at Liv-
ingston, the year before Anaconda had
the honor of being the meeting place.
and now it's up to Kalispell to take care
of the editors and give them good
time for the term of their meeting.
Walter Aitkin. secretary Of the asso-
citation, has sent out a circular letter to
all the newspaper writer's of the state
who have their names on the big book
he keep among the archives Of the
tribe. He seems to have begun already
to lay plans for the gang and gives
it out that the latter part of Angus.
will be the time of meeting. His epistle
to the editors is as follows:
Pursuant to the instructions Of the
association at it's meeting in Liv.ngst on
last year, the annual meeting this year
will be held in Kalispell. probably dur
ing the latter part of August. In order
that proper arrangements may he made
for the entertainment of the association,
it is necessary that the local commit
tee be advised we'll in advanc. as to
the probable attendance.
For the members from the central
southern and eastern parts of tho state
the trip to Kalispell will take from one
to two days, according to the distance
features of the meeting will probably
take UP two or three DAYS. so that at
tendance at the meeting and thu return
home will in all probability me,n ten
days outing for the majority Of the
members. Satisfactory arrangements
have been made with the Great North
ern and Northern Pacific railroads for
the transportation of members of the as
ISOLATION. and it is expected that a low
rate will be made for the trio from Ra-
valli over the Flathead reservation and
lake to KalisDell for those who wish to
come or return by that routa.

Zone who has never stopped to think
of the matter would be surprised at the
amount Of fruit handled in Butte in the

pany.
LAS single item it might be interest
ing to know that our company alone
handled nine carloads of Hood river
Strawberries during the month of May,
while at least two others came in by
freight, making IL cars in all from that
one source. This year, however, has
been disastrous one for western fruit
interests. the usual shipment of the
matchless crimson Hood river berries to
Butte alone being upwards of thirty
cars year. This year has been only
about a third of a full crop. Frost and
storms cut short the yield there. and in
all the great berry districts as WELL

such vast quantities of small fruits. are
almost as short as Oregon. There have
actically no Washingto" berries

large quantities of them.
During the month Of May, we brought
