Moines and the score resulted IL to 2.
Des Moines took their bats and did

made five scores before any outs, be-
sides two home runs, that making seven
score in the first inning. When Ames
came to the bat the first two struck
out" and the third was put out on
first. Tener on short did poor work,
while the rest made many errors. The
Anles men also found Leaden hard to
hit, and most Of them heard the words
striker out" Some were successful in
making hits, but only three making
two-baggers. Four took their bases on
balls. "Munk" Reece was hammered
out without mercy, he only striking out
six and letting many take bases on
balls. While bases We're full Reece al
lowed a mar a base OF balls, which in
consequence forced in a score. The
League played easy, giving the boys a
chance, but it seemed to be an off day

from attempting to marry his niece.
The young man in question is Franz.
Clements and he is deferred from mar
rying Miss Lille Clements. h daugh-
ter Of his brother. This is in contra
vention of the law and any one who
marries q person sustaining his rela .
|tionship commits a public offense. The
information was sworn out by the faith
er and mother Of the young man.
The parties involved in this immature
al are very nearly of the same
age; that is, there is no great discrep-
ancy in their ages, and both are Old
enough to assume the matrimonial re-
lation. For some time there has been
a deep affection between the young
woman and the young man, but 1t was
not until recently that it was believed
anything serious was intended in their
relations. The young man was at first
upheld by his parents and they had
affirmed that if the couple could not
marry here they could in England, but
they were under the impression that
the young people were first cousins.
When the relationship was pointed out
they saw the injustice of the proposed
marriage and the ~illegality Of it and
the enormity such a social offense
would be against the veal of the coun-
try.
First cousins are not forbidden a
rage in this state.
