BUNCOED BY INDIANS.
Canon City Ball Team Meet Red
skins by Moonlight.

A game Of baseball between . team
that call themselves the Sioux
Indians and the Rodda- Thomas nine
played in tent lit by electricity
Wednesday Eight in Canon City ana
broke up in row which nearly ter.
tent was crowded with large number
of fans who were anxious to see what
the national game WAS like by arc
light, but the contest proved to be
nothing more than regulation game
Of indoor baseball.
this did not make the game less sharp.
The Indians wrangled continuously
and when the sixth inning came they
strenuously objected to decision
given by the local umpire. The
crowd swarmed on the field to take q
hand in the fight and it looked for =
minute as II there would be . few
dead Indians strewn about the field.
The redskins were crafty and saved
themselves from the anger OF the
crowd by putting the lights oct.
The excitement increased and every
one made an effort to get out of the
tent. There was q jam ct the en-.
trance. but the police finally succeed.
ed in establishing order. When out
side the crowd clamored to get their
money back, but the Indians paid nc
attention to their shouting aud hauled
down their canvas a. rapidly as they
could.
They had advertised that they
would shoot one OF their number in
the air from the mouth Of . cannon
and large number Of people we're
attracted to the show to see this part
Of the performance. 1t was not given
and this served to incense the people
who paid their money all the more.
But for the police protection given the
visitors it would have gone ha,
with them. They packed their tent
at midnight and took to the hills ai

Contraction in Loans-Market
Closed at Highest Prices.

NEW YORK, May %.-The stock
market in the early dealings today was
extremely dull. and gave little promise
Of the improvement which was devei-
oped late yesterday. There was no spe-
cial influence in the way Of news when
the market started.
After the first half hour, a more
hopeful feeling with regard TO the bank
statement was developed, in conse-
quence of the favorable morning fore
cast issued by a news bureau. There
was moderate increase in activity as
prices advanced, and in most instances
the action of the market, after publica-
ton Of the statement, was entirely nat
ural and healthy. The best prices OF
the day were made in the final dealings.
While the loss in cash was about
equal to the estimates based on known
movements Of money. there was a
heavy contraction in loans which re-
suited In a small gain I'm surplus re-
