MAY WITNESS BALL GAME
One of the Most Interesting
Ever in This Section


Thos. s. Robinson, of Tonopah, is
spending a few days in this city Mr..
Robinson is very enthusiastic over
the forthcoming game of baseball to
be played the latter part OF this
month between mines from Tonopah
and Winnemucca.
The Winnemucca boys have sue
ceeded in defeating everything In
eastern and central Nevada, while the
ronopah club has no rivals for first
place in the western portion.
The Hawthorne boys were of the
opinion that they could defeat the
boys from the new camp few days
ago, but were defeated by score Of
ten to two.
The Winnemucca nine has offered
to play a rival organization from
Lovelock for a considerable sum of
money, and thus it will be seen both
mines are on their metal and looking
for trouble.
So a match has been made between
the two clu.s, and the purse will be
s2,OOO-the largest that has been play
Ell for in a great many years. This
1900 is put up by the teams them
selves, that is each puts up $1,000 and
the winners take that. together with
what is left of the gate receipts after
expenses are paid.
The distance between the two
towns is too great to expect the nine
If one to go to the other, and then
beside for a game upon which so
much hangs, 1t is likely that either
will prefer to meet on neutral soil.
So 1t is more than possible that the
match may be brought off in this
city A first class diamond can be
arranged quite easily within the race
track and at trfiing expense. Car
son City is centrally located and the
attendance would probably be larger
here than any place else.
The game is one that will create
more than a passing interest in
sporting circles and the players OF
beth teams are assured of courteous
treatment should their dispute over
the Nevada championship be decided
here.-Carson News.
The game between the two teams
will undoubtedly be arranged for the
first Sunday in September. The Win
nemucca boys have been very anxious
to get on a game with the nine from
Nevadas great mining camp and it
looks now as if the game will be
go. Carson City is about half way be-
tween Tonopah and Winnemucca and
has one of the finest baseball grounds
on the Pacific coast Manager Dunn
of the Winnemucca nine is now in
correspondence with Manager Davis
of the Tonopah team. and If the date
Is agreeable to the latter team the
game will be pulled of.

The convicts, when they were last

ARE CONVICTS
IN HUMBOLDT?

they are unable to move. Those of
the convicts who are not wounded
will probably make desperate effort
to break through the line that now
surrounds them during the darkness,
and a most vigilant watch is being
kept.
This band of five escaped convicts
vas seen shortly after noon today
crossing the road near Hanks ex-
change, roadside resort, about six
niles from Placerville. Four Of
them were carrying rifles and revol-
vers and the fifth man was carrying
i sack that was thought to contain
food.
The presence of the convicts in that
vicinity was at once made known at
he office of Sheriff Boscuit in Placer
vile and posse was at once organ
lied to give pursuit. In that posse
were eight men, and nearly all of
them were young men, members CT
the Placerville company of militia,
who had returned on Friday night
fro, hn IS hA tnfc In, hn
neighborhood of Greenwood and Web
Der creek.
They were posthaste to the place
were the convicts were last seen and
there they took the trail. 1t was cas-
lily followed and when close to the
Grand Victor mine. about four miles
from Diamond. the pursuers were led
.nto a narrow trail heavily fringed
n either side with thick brush. Just
Is they had reached that point there
vas a volley from rifles close beside
chem and Rutherford and Jones fell,
pierced by bullets from the convicts'
if1es. Gil staggered back down the
trail, his left arm hanging useless
and blood streaming from his shoul-
der. These three had been in advance
OF the others and the convicts had
waited il ambush for them.
The other five men of the pursuing
party at once opened fire on the con-
victs as they started to run for the
cover os the heavier timber toward
the crest of the hill, and so hot was
the fire that the convicts were forced
to seek the first shelter that came
to them and there they hastily threw
up 2 barricade.
1t was a small hill with narrow
stretches of open country on nearly
al sides of it that the convicts had
chosen for their field of battle. This
situation was quickly seen by the sur
viving men of the posse. and they
took up points of vantage to command
all sides of the hill. hemming In the
convicts with a fire that would meet
them On all sides should they attempt
to escape, and then they were held
until another messenger reached the
city of Placerville.
There was much excitement and al
most every man in the town who
could handle gun besieged the office
of Sheriff Bascuit begging to be ta-
ken along as a member of the posse
to take part in the determination OF
the convict band. The company OF
militia was quickly assembled and
soon the road leading to the hill
where the convicts were held in their
barricade was filled with rigs hurry
ing armed men to the scene. 1t was
not long before the hill on which the
.convicts were intrenched was sur
rounded and then 1t was planned to
set the brush on fire and drive the
hunted men from their cover.
II is not yet known who the con-
yicts are, but 1t Is thought that
Woods, the leader OF the convict
bend. is one of them.
