In England, where the judges wear wigs and robes, unconventional legal proceedings are not expected, but the papers tell of county court being held on a train. A case before Sir Horatio Lloyd, a county judge, was unfinished when he had to catch a train to Ches- ter. It was decided to continue the case on the train. A first-class carriage was secured. and although it was not reserved, the tribunal was not disturb ed by any gossipy traveller dropping in to take part In the conversation. The distance to Chester was cut into two equal parts, and one barrister spoke the first seven miles, the other having the remaining seven.

Been Suceessful-South-

Omaha, Neb.. Sept 2G.-The West
ern league season closed yesterday
with games at Omaha, Des Moines,
and Sioux City. Both Denver and
Colorado Springs lost a game. while
he local team won two. giving them
i clear margin in the pennant race.
The Western league season has
been satisfactory" said President
Rourke of the Omaha club. While
the attendance at some of the cities
has not been so good as desired. in
other towns it has been more than
satisfactory"
The local patronage has been the
best in the history of baseball in Oma-
has. and for the last ten days the aver
age has been nearly $500. The clos
ne games attracted 400 people.
What the additions or changes will
be are not known at present. but that
they will be far reaching is conceded
by all who are conversant with the
situation.

Omaha Fast at the Finish.

The season has been remarkable for
the lead Denver and Colorado Springs
obtained in the early days of the con-
test and the passing of these teams
by Omaha in the last few days of the
struggle Past the middle of July and
we'll along in August the mountain
teams had a lead that seemed TO be
impossible. but finally Omaha and Des
Moines got into action and rapidly
pulled the leaders from their perch.
although Des Moines had to be con-
tent to finish a close fourth.
In the point of PLAY for the season.
Colorado Springs will lead in batting.
and either Des Moincs or Omaha in
the fielding. The Des Moines team
was capable of playing the fastest
game of any team in the circuit. but
got n poor start through lack of
catcher.
Two members of the Des MOines
team are now with the Chicago Ma
tions and seem to have made good.
A large number of Western leaguers
will try for faster company in the

st. Joe to Drop Out.

If the scheme of President Sexton
for the revision of the territory Of
the minor league fails or if Des MOines
and Omaha fail to get place in the

Dcs Moincs and Omaha, which have
been the cities that have supported the

IN the American association these two
towns would be the equal of any in
the league in the support they would
give the teams. This is unlikely in
view of the alleged contract between
the magn2tes of the association that
they will hang together for a number
of years.
The plan of President Sexton to
combine the towns of size in n
