Gracey, Ky, Dec. THE small
pox scare here has caused a suspen-
sion of the schools, white and color
ed. A large vacant house outside
the town has been rented for hos
pital and the negro cabins hereto
fore used will be vacated and releas-
ed from quarantine.
The grand total of GO cases in the
hospital was reached yesterday and
this is alliknown of except some over
the county line in Trigg. That
county seems to be asleep and DR..
Mccormack should give it stirring
up. One Trigg county case is at Mr..
C. S. Coleman's, in sight of Gracey.
DR.. Grove is doing fine work and
everybody is praising him for the
way he went about controlling the
disease. No public gatherings of
any kind are permitted. 1t is ex-
pected that 10 or IL negroes will be
discharged this week and probably
twice as many next week. The
county is paying $50 month for the
house and $40 month each for the
board of inmates. We are now
running on a basis of more than
81 900 month, including the physi-
clans services.

REPORT ON BARABOO
IRON DISTRICT OUT
Wisconsin GEOLOGICAL SURVEY SAYS
II WILL BE IMPORTANT.
ANOTHER CLAIM AGAINST CITY
Adolph Suttsr Filed Damage Claim
Resulting From Broken
Water Mains.

The discovery Of large deposits nf
ironore in the Baraboo district came
as an agreeable surprise to mining
men and biologists. Finding these
beds was especially noteworthy when
~ Is considered that the region is a
well settled agricultural country, and
that the data which led 10 the recent
successful exploratory work did not
consist Of single surface outcrop,
ore only being found by means of
churn and diamond drilling through
sandstone and drift.
The fact that throughout the dis
trict the iron bearing starata nowhere
appears at the surface, but lies every
where buried beneath sandstone and
drift varying from few feet to over
600 feet in thickness, and that, for
this reason, the exploration is more
expensive than that In other pre-
Cambrian iron districts, makes 1t
important that reliable data concern
Ing the geology of the district should
be available for mining men and
Others interested. To this end the
Wisconsin geological survey has had
prepared an exhaustive report on the
subject by the eminent geologist, DR..
Samuel Weidman. The report con-
tains POO pages and twenty-three
illustrations
THE Baraboo district, DIR. Weidman
shows, lies near the center or the
southern half Of Wisconsin, in Sauk
and Columbia counties. Its length
east and west is approximately TWEEN
ty-eight miles, with width varying
from two miles at the east end to ten
and twelve miles in the middle, and
at the west end. Approximately, the
erea of the district is 225 square miles.

NEBRASKA INDIANS
WERE SCALPED
LOST THEIR GAME TO THE LOCALS
BY A SCORE or 8 TO4.
RIOT AT IRON MOUNTAIN
Rooters Swamed onto the Diamond and
Tried to Break up Game on
Labor Day.

The much advertised game 0f base
ball between the LOCALS and the Ne
braska Indians was pulled of al the
ball park ON last saturday The day
was bad one for base ball, that is
the forenoon and tile early part Of the
afternoon. Threatening skies gave
place to showers, of and ON. but
about 2:30 the skies cleared and the
day turned out to be tine one.
The game started with the Indians
at the bat, Glenn In the box for Crys-
tai Falls and Croze on the receiving
end. The redskins early demons
trated that they could hit the ball by
touching up Glenn for two singles and
a double that netted only one run and
that was scored on an error by Croze.
The locals demonstrated that they
knew thing or two about stick work
when their turn came 10y picking out
three nice juicy singles that netted
two runs. Snow, the crack Indian
twirler was on the rubber and he had
speed 10 burn. Wauchekon started in
70 catch him but couldn't hold the
speedy delivery and gave way TO De-
cora who put up an excellent game.
Glenn kept the hits well scattered
during the three succeeding innings
but i'm the fifth, three hits and an
error by Shaw resulted in three runs
being scored. Glenn was hit by d
pitched ball In the fifth and gave way
To Bies who allowed but three scatter.
ing hits for the remainder of the
game and the Indians failed To pull
out another score.
Although the locals hit frequently
during the succeeding innings they
failed to score uutil the last half OF
the ninth when two passes, 1 corkinp
double by DinSm0re followed by a
single from Brice's bat and two sacri.
flee hits scored four runs and the game
ended with the locals but one man
out.
The game was slugging match
from start To finish on both sides, the
Indians having little the best OF the
hitting. The redskins are heavy
hitters and all their drives are line
shots.
Excitement ran high In the last
inning when Dinsmore cleared the
bases and tied the score.
The summary Of the game is al
follows:

left paw and before he realized what
was happening the bali rested IN his
nit. II was going with such speed
that his hand stung for some time
and had IL been four inches further
out two runs would certainly have
been scored.
Nemacheck was robbed Of tine
two-base hit by a decision Of the In
dian umpire who called IL foul. II
was clearly a fair hit and the fellow
acknowledged afterwards that he was
mistaken. However, he had made hi'
decision and wouldn'tchange and nt
kicking was done.
Dinsmore showed his good sense

The locals didn't play their usual
game making several errors while ON
couple of occasions they played in
hard luck. This feature was espec-
tally noticeable in the seventh when
they punched two nice hits landing
Dinsmore and Brice on the bases.

The game between the locals and
Iron Mountain last Sunday was good,
as faras the record shows, but II was
not the kind Of a game that the locals
are used TO putting up. Not from the
fact that they lost but because they
didn't ginger up. Iron Mountain
played snappier game and should
have won with better score, parti-
cul arly as the locals played in very
hard luck The tielding OF Nicholi
was simply wonder. His fine catches
robbed the locals Of several fine hits
that under any degree of luck at all
would certainly have been theirs.
Manthy, also. did fine stroke Of
fielding. Eddie Scott was In the box
for Iron Mountain and pitched good
game. The locals were not hitting
that day and he let them down with
six hits.
The Iron Mountain boys played a
good game with the exception OF
Duschane who Is credited with four
errors They were not costly though
and didn't effect the score. Iron
Mountain hit good, also. better than
they did in any of the other games.

The game at Iron Mountain on
Labor Day brought on performance
by the Iron Mountain sports that
was disgrace to the place and we are
sorry 10 have TO record il. When the
locals alighted from the train at Iron
Mountain, resident of that place
came TO Manager Corcoran and told
hin that a plot had been hatched up
TO rob Crystal Falls Of the game.
Jack" Simmons was picked to UNI
pire with the understanding that he
would either rob Crystal Falls or
make such decision that the locals
would quit the field: save all bets TO
Iron Mountain and forfeit the gate
receipts Mr.. Corcoran went TO
Assistant Manager Sundstrom and
asked who was to umpire. He was
told that Simmons was and upon his
protesting was told TO mind his own
business: that Iron Mountain pro-
posed to pick their own umpire. Mr..
C. informed him that there would be
no game but the Iron Mountain fell

and he briclllayers employed at the
capitol have been engaged on other
construction work being done by
Caldwell and Drake, who have the
contract for the capitol The only
work being done is by laborers un-

One car Of stone was received from
i}atesFllle yesterday. the first since
December ., but as If can net be
gotten in shape for use in day the
contractors have decided to suspend
operations until enough material has
reached here to Justify them in put
ting their force of stonecuttcrs back
TO work. The lack Of stone from the
quarries has been caused by the
droHth IN north Arkansas. which is
unprecedented The water is used
extensively in saving the stone at
the qHarries and with the supply cur
tailed the output is necessarily dimin~
ished. But one rain has fallen in the
nei@hborhood Of Batesyille since July
The deficit in the supply is due to
no fault of the company operating the
aaarlies, Of which Charles A. Pfeiffer
is president, as under normal condi-
tiOns they have the machinery and
the men to keep the contractors sup
piled with all the stone they can use
Work at the capitol has been sns-
pended several times on account OF
the shortage Of stone.
The WORK Of setting stone for tsn

started when the lay-off was MADE
necessary. Two Of the five cars of

story have arrived from the foundry
