Then Catcher Mead attempted to
catch Lane at third, but threw the
ball wild and the latter scored.
Another hit by M. Lane sent Potter
across the plate. Score, Candy A,
Redwood O. That was all for Can
by, even though ten innings we're
played.
Mr.. G. Okey, the silent twirler of
the Candy club, did great business
for the five innings, holding
the Redwood team down to one hit
in the first five innings. In the
first four only II woodites got
to bat. In the fifth Chadderdon
got present of first and stole Sec
ond, but was unable to come home
on Bager's single. The next three
men to bat were struck out by Okey.
Nothin doin'.
1t was in the sixth inning that
some great skyrocketing work was
done by the Redwood bunch. Coop
er swiped the sphere for a single
and got second on an error of Land
ru. VIM. Thompson pounded out a
long double, sending Cooper home.
Harry Thompson pounded out a
long single, sending his brother
home for an earned run, and him
self coming across the plate on an
error of short. This made three
scores for US to four for the other
fellows. with the firm determination
of we Falls men to get another, or
more, by the ninth. The another
came in the ninth-not before.
Bager hit safe, stole second. Their
ing went out at first, and on long
single by Baldwin Bager tied the
score. It looked as though the
crowd was from Redwood Falls, by
the demonstration.
Candy did nothing in the tenth.
For Redwood Francois was first to
bat. He swiped the ball once for
long foul down the left line. The
next time he hit it the ball fell a
foot or two inside OF the line. next
to the fence. 1t was a two-bagger.

Two pretty double plays were

INTERESTINGLY FINISH.
Redwood Players Win an Exciting Game
from Candy at Marshall Meet.

In one of the greatest games of
ball ever played at Marshall, aud
probably one of the most exciting
games ever witnessed in this Sec
ton of the state, Redwood Falls
defeated Candy last Thursday after
noon by a score of to 4, with two
men out when the winning run
went across the plate in Walter
Francois trouser pockets.
1t was immense. Victory had
been snatched from defeat, and the
Marshall enthusiasts who were
present to cheer the noble baud of
Redwood players, made the air ring
with their yelling and cheering as
Harry Thompson sent out the long
two base drive to point between
center and right field, and pushed
Walter Francois, who had previous
ly knocked out two Dagger, got
third on a steal, across the diamond.
How did Candy get four scores?
1t was funny-or at least the get
ting of two of them, because in the
first inning after two of her heavi-
est sluggers had been put out at
first and and Anderson and Wab-
bins had hit safe, Chadderdon, who
was occupying the box for Red wood,
sent the ball to Theiring to catch
Anderson mapping at second. The
ball went vida foot above Their
ing's reach and before it could be
recovered the two men had crossed
the plate. There was sorrow on
the Redwood bench, and more sor-
row on the part of the admirers of
the Redwood team, and those who
had backed the team with their
money.
In the fourth inning, again, when
Redwood was still being credited
with ciphers, Candy again took
whirl out of Chadderdon, and it
cost two scores, E. Lane walked
up first and pounded out O single,
Potter did likewise, sending Lane
to third base and going down to
second on the next ball thrown.

siding across the Minnesota river,
and with her sister in this city. On

L0WERY is SORRY
Strangely vindiCtive Pris-
Oner, at Last Withdrawing
Threats, Released.

After spending a week in Jail for
the pleasure of persisting that he was
not sorry and asserting that he would
get even with superintendent of
Roads w. G. Allen for invading his
land by order of the Board of COM
missioners, S. w. Lowery, the citizen
OF New Light who threatened Mr.. AL
len with gun, was yesterday released
on bail, after his friends had finally
persuaded him that it was the better
part to promise not to give more
trouble.
Lowery's case has been fully set
forth in this paper. He is one Of the
strangest characters ever confined in
the county Jail. AS was reported last
Saturday, there are grave doubts as to
his sanity and the papers providing
for an inquisition in lunacy were pre-
pared yesterday but were not used
I.owery was bailed out by DR.. S. w.
Thompson and j. T. Davis, who had
great difficulty in bringing him to take
a reasonable view of his troubles
These gentlemen came into town yes
terday with Mr. Allen, who has ali
along attempted to have an Gnder-
standing with Lowery which would
permit his release. When Messrs.
Thompson and Davis went to see the
stubborn as ever in his animosity
against Mr., Allen for his fancied
wrongs. After long talk however,
they persuaded Lowery that he should
not kill Mr.. Allen and that his own
case would be helped by his adopting
a pacific attitude. To this view Low
cry finally agreed and it was suggest
cd by his bondsmen that he see Mr..
Allen, tell him he was sorry and that
ha yufc1oa1 to do him harm
To this Lowery at once took incon-
sistent exception: He'd better not
come" he said, the dangerous light
again flashing into his evil looking
eyes.
but you have threatened to kill
Mr.. Allen, and it will be necessary for
you TO tell him that YOU are willing
to let the matter drop"
Lowery thought minute or so and
replied: You'd better tell him
that"
1t took more argument to at length
persuade the man to see Mr.. Allen.
When they finally met Lowery re-
marked sulicnly' IF you don't
bother me. / won't bother you And
the argument had to he gone over
again from the beginning. At length
LoWery agreed to let Mr. Allen run

ROBBERS At WORK
GiersCh and BObbitt-
Wynne Drug Company.
Besides These Night ..RObberies Mr..
John W. HinsdaIe Ir. is Relieved
of His Watch in the Circus
Day Crowds.

With the crowds that came to Raj
eigh on circus day there were some
nght-fngered gentry and some rob-
bers with nerve.
One residence was robbed on Fri
day night, and a most mysterious rob-
berry effected on Sunday morning, Just
after Saturday nights midnight hour
while a watch was lifted from gen.
tleman of this city.
The robbery was effected at the
home of Mr.. r. T. Giersch. the pro-
prietor of Giersch's cafe. in the wes-
tern edge of the city. 1t took place
Friday night while the family were
out for a few minutes.
This was about $50 at night. and
only for about fifteen minutes was
there a chance for the robbery Dur
ing this time an entrance was effected
through a window and on the return
of the family some watches. and sew
eral pieces of jeweiry were gone. The
loss is estimated at from $3.50 to $500
with no clue.
A second robbery. and a most mys-
terious one took place during the
morning of Sunday at the Bob
bitt-Wynne Drug Companys store
where over $500 was secured. The
store is open day and night, and the
money some $200 together with the
items of cash disbursed and charge
tickets were placed Saturday night in
the safe. Here it was noticed after
o'clock Sunday morning by the night
clerk, Mr.. Vickers.
Later Mr.. Baker. of the daV cleri-
cal force, who had occasion to go TO
the safe, missed the box and its con-
tents. There are various explanations
one that while the clerk
was busy in the front of the store
the thief got the cash. Another is that
an entrance may have been effected by
the sidedoor on Market Place the
thief getting in and out and away.
The police are at work on the matter.
Mr. John w. Hinsdale, Jr., is short
his gold watch. He had it on While
the crowds were here on circus day.
and was on the street part of the
time. Now the watch is gone, some
quick Fingered pickpocket having
touched him for his time piece.
