BILLINGS MEN SCALP CROWS a
SECOND TIME.
INDIANS Fly TO PIECES
Accident to oberlander in First Inn
ing Dispirits Dusky Players
Barely Prevent shut-out.
From Mondays Daily Gazette.

From Mondays Daily Gazette.
Three, compared with II, seems an
insignificant number, but it is doubt
full whether the Grows would have
taken a farm for the three little up
right lines marked to their credit in
the seventh inning yesterday. To
them they must have looked as big
as telegraph poles in a collection of
ant hills and broke the monotony of
zeros that had been marked against
them in the preceding innings. The
two ciphers that followed only serv-
ed to accentuate their greatness.
The fact that it began to rain earlier
in the afternoon and rained hard,
caused many to remain away, as it
was thought the grounds would be-
too wet to make a game possible, but
a little thing like sloshing around in
mud tosthe ankles and wading pools
of water e deeper did not deter
the teams from keeping their engage
ment, even if they did have to wait
until almost evening before they could
respond to the umpire's order to "play
ball." The crowd that gathered was
a large one, considering the weather
and the ~unfavorable conditions that
c%onspired to mar what would prob
ably have been as good an exhibition
of the national game as has been seen
on the local field in a long time. Of
course, it was chilly and damp moist,
but the fans kept themselves warm
with their roofing and concluded they
could stand it if the players could.
An unfortunate accident to DR..
Oberlander in the first inning took
all the vim out of the Indians and
thereafter their playing was l~istless
and, to use a popular expression, "they
went to pieces" The doctor was on
third and suddenly remembered that
there is no place like home" He
tried to reach it by a mighty slide,
but made a m~iscalculation and struck
the ground with his head with such
force that he was rendered %senseless. /
Although he recovered shortly after !
ward, he was in no condition to re-
sumo playing and had to content him
self thereafter with being merely a
spectator.
His place in left field was taken by
Pickett, who played a good game,
both in the field and at bat, but the
doctors absence was a damper on the
Indians and they were never able to
pull themselves together after he was
retired.

Blue Sandstone Struck.

Miles City, June LIN excavating
for the piers of the new Yellowstone
bridge, about two feet before the nee.
essary depth was reached a stratum OF
blue sandstone was struck which
Superintendent Haviland say is a
good substantial stone. 1t has been
necessary to blast through this rock
to get the depth contracted for. This
rock seems to underlie the entire bed
of the river in this vicinity, having
been encountered by the workmen
who constructed the supply well at
Fort Keogh, about a mile above.

MUCH MONEY INVOLVED.
The County Will Have to Pay $4,000
to the City.

The decision of the supreme court
in the smallpox case, Friday. will
necessitate the payment by the county
to the city of about So, 0O0 The bill
that was involved in the appeal to the
supreme court was $519.75, for extra
compensation for the city health
officer and other expenses connected
with the care of smallpox patients
last spring. This was test case, and
it is expected that the other bills will
be paid promptly.
The decision is based on the new
law, but the city has some money
coming from the county under the old
law, for the period preceding the pas
sage of the new law last spring. and
these bills will be certified to the
county auditor at once, if they have
not already been.

Bad Accident on the Eagle Lake
Road.
Mrs. Lambert, Grand Daughter and
Housekeeper Thrown From
Buggy After Collision.

| Mrs. Lumbert, her grand daughter,
! Marie Benack, daughter of G. D Ben
ack, the hardware man, and the
house keeper, Cora Bromley, were I'll
injured in an accident on the Eagle
Lake road last evening. They had been
visiting in the country and were driv-
ing home ct about six O'Clock. 40 When
Just beyond the store in the city limits
they met party driving out from the
city in a buggy. This party failed to
turn out sufficiently and ran into their
buggy, although they had turned out
as far as they could, there being an
embankment at that point.
The horse driven by the ladies be-
came frightened and went down the
embankment and leaped over a barbed
wire fence. Mrs. Lumbert was thrown
over the fence and over the horse, and
received some severe bruises and a
sprained wrist. Her granddaughter
fell between the front wheels of the
buggy and the horses hoofs and was
badly scratched and cut by the barbed
wire fence, her clothing being torn
and her flesh lacerated.
Miss Bromley was thrown under the
horses hoofs, but was not as much in
iured as the others. She got ont first
and dragged Miss Benack out and then
hald the horse As soon az the ladies
| were taken to the store she tainted and
it was some time before she recovered
consciousness.
| The horse was badly cut on the
barbed wire fence. 1t is considered
remarkable that the animal did not
run away or tramp upon the ladies.
The party who ran into the ladies
drove on and paid no attention to the
wreck and suffering that his act
caused.
