Story Given Out.

The story, as sent out from Bloom

lows: The score was tied three and
three in the ninth inning, and with
the bases full Mullaney came to bat.
Clark threw a ball which hit the bat

winning run was thus forced in The
Rock Island players contended that
Mullaney deliberately got in front of
the ball and protested the decision of
the umpire, who started to leave the
field, with the players from this city
arguing with him. The crowd closed
in and the umpire was hit, it is claim
ed, by Gray. \ general scrimmage
ensued, in which umpire, players and
outsiders Joined, and during it Gray
was struck in the face and knocked
senseless. Farnham was taken away
from the grounds in a private rig to
prevent any further trouble. Several
persons were hit during the melee
and the police finally restored order
Umpire Farnham wired to head
quarters in this city last evening that
he had been assaulted and that he
had struck Gray and laid him out. He
announced that he had fined Donnelly

Bloomington, May 6.-The contest
here yesterday was a close one and
resulted in victory for the home
team, to 3.
The game was hard fought through
out. For Rock Island Green scored
in the first on bad throw by Brown
which went past Mullaney and was so
wild that the runner made the entire
circuit. In the fourthO Leary gave Capt.
Corners a furious drive which would
have been held down to single, but
was misjudged and got past. letting
the backstop register at the plate.
The third run was scored in the sew

first error of the season. the ball COM

given a scare in the ninth, when Gra-

face was cut in the blow he received.
He will be all right in a day or two.
Farnham is umpiring. Gray made
honorable amends this morning for
his part in the trouble. The latest
account of the trouble is TO the e..
feet that after the first passage the
bystanuers seized hold of Gray and
attempted to restrain Farnham. The
former was secured and held, while
the latter was not and the player was
assaulted while he was defenseless.

on third, where he died. This re-
markable rally tied the score, and
the roofing became something fierce.
Smith, the first man up in the ninth,
slapped a single to second which
could not be handled. King gave Doll
"a bunt which Rebsamen dropped.
Herbert also hunted and beat it out.

gon company. OF late years he has
been foreman and contractor, but has
been where he continually inhaled
the fumes of paint. He is 50 years Oh
age and in good health.
Mr.. Berry was born in Racine, Wis
and it was his privilege to paint the
first wagon that was turned out by
Fish Brothers Manufacturing com,
pany of that city. He removed to
Davenport in 1869 and after couple
of years spent in working in wagon
factory there he came to this side
and entered the employ of the Moline
Wagon company. Mr.. Berry is a vet.
eran of the civil war, having served in

Violence was done at the game be-
tween Rock Island and Bloomington
in the latter city yesterday, the con-
test being followed by a mix-up in
which the Rock Island and Blooming
ton players, Umpire Farnham and
onlookers shared. All reports that
have gone out concerning the matter
have necessarily been of a one-sided
nature, as there were probably no
witnesses who would take a view ia
vorable 10 the Rock Island team.
In the absence. of full knowledge
of the circumstances the Rock Island
public, as well as the Rock Island
baseball management, will be inclined
to think the players from this city
must have had reason for any action
they may have taken. This will be
the case especially in view of the
treatment that the Rock Island team
has received in that city in other sea-
sons. While there is no disposition
here to uphold rowdy ball playing,
whether it be by Rock Island or other
players, it is conceived that there is
limit even to what ball player NAV
be expected to stand for when he is in
earnest and is playing heart and soul
to win.

UNION STOCKYARDS, INDIANAPOLIS. Feb.
1.-Cattle-Receipts light shipments none. The
receipts Of cattle this week have been of very
fair volume. showing increase of nearly 500
over last week, a decrease OF 400 compared with
the same week year ago and an increase Of
500 over the corresponding week two years ago.
Thus far this year the receipts 3So0 smaller
than the same time last year and for the month
thus far there is an increase of over 100 COM
pared with the same period last year. There
was very satisfactory market the beginning
of the week for practically all kinds. and on
account of a reasonably good demand from out
side sources, prices, especially for steers made
a little gain over those current at the close OF
last week This. however. only temporary.
and subsequently the market for fat steers was
dull and prices were unsettled. For several days
statesmen had great deal of difficulty in find
ing an outlet for their consignments, and, in
fact this was harder work than il to agree
on prices. Toward the close of the week. how
ever, with improved facilities for transporting
dressed beef. of the leading local houses
increased their requirements considerably and
there was rather a free outlet at currnt prices.
A general review of the week. and particularly
with prizes at the close of this week. indicate a
loss Of from Ice to l5c the steers good enough
to sell above A25 The stocker and feeder trade
was OF no great Importance, and on account OF
the small supplies steady prices maintained
on the better kinds throughout the week. but
at the extreme close of the week ordinary stock
ers lost some in value. There has been very
satisfactory market for good cows and heifers.
and. in fact. for practically all female stock
throughout the week. The demand at all times
was equal to the supply and clearances were
made promptly at current prices. There was
no great Improvement in values any particu-
lar time, but there, continued stronger
tendency and at the extreme close of the week
prices were probably l0c to 15c higher than the
close of last week. The highest prices realized
this week were S. for steers, $40 for heifers,
si.25 for cows, 81 for bulls and s1.75 for calves
The receipts to-day were the smallest they have
been Saturday for several weeks. There were
not enough to establish range in prices for any
grade and with comparatively few carried over
from yesterday the supply on sale was too small
to encourage competition between buyers There
fore the market trifie quiet, but transac
tions were usually at steady prices compared
with the way equal kinds sold yesterday. Quo
