Yates and OF the Honorable John D.
Losekamp, who died at her home in
Chicago earlier in the day. Mr.. Lose
kamp, who was at Dayton, o., was
notified and left there to attend the
funeral. Mrs. Ordway was married
at Leeavenworth, Kan, the family's
old home only about three years ago.
During the high wind of Saturday
afternoon Miss Olive Hubbard met
with a painful and peculiar accident.
A large door in the sheriff's residence,
containing a plate of glass, was blown
open and struck the young lady on
the arm. The force of the impact
was great enough to shatter the glass,
a piece Of which made a large cash in
her arm. A physician was summoned
| and it was found necessary to take
| several stitches in the wound.
FIN addition to having to submit to
fthe modification of defeat last Sum
day, the members of the Elks' ball
team have figured out that they are
$40 in arrears On the game, the
amount taken in at the gate being
that much short of the actual ex-
penses incurred. The team has not
received the encouragement or pat
ronage to which it's members consider
themselves entitled and they are be-
coming thoroughly discouraged in
their effort to preserve the national
game here.
According to the Red Lodge Picket
Thomas Cruise of Helena, who was In
the city last week on his way to the
oil fields of Butcher creek, has decided
to go about it in a practical manner
to ascertain the value of his claims
in that locality. He a accompanied
by a couple of expert drillers and
perfected arrangements to begin work
on a new well calculated to demon
strate beyond a doubt what the sup
posed oil region really is worth so
far as it's capacity to produce petro-
leum is concerned.
Doctor ]. A. Crum Of Chance ar
rived in the city last evening. On the
occasion of his last visit to Billings
the gentleman participated in a couple
of incidents not exactly OF a profess
sional nature, but more exciting thar
usually fall to the lot of the practi.
toner Of a small place. He was the
finder of the money cached by Grady
and Moser after their robbery of the
Owl saloon and subsequent murder OF
Sergeant Hannah, and was also one
of the posse that captured Ed
Grady the following morning.
"Phil' Daniels, who is remembered
here because of his former connection
with the Burlington as travelling pas
senger agent, seems to have received
some pretty hard jolts from Dams
Fortune since he went out Ofthe rail
road business. His present home il

WANT CLEAN SLATE.
Members of Board OF Education Hold
an Informal Meeting to Consider
the Superintendent Question.
MANY APPLICANTS FOR PLACE.

The Board of Education held an in
formal meeting at the Office of Nor
man L. Baker last night for the pur-
pose of taking some action in regard
to the selection of superintendent
for the city schools. No action was
taken, but the meeting resulted in a
clearing of the atmosphere, and it is
generally conceded that there will be
change made at the meeting of the
board to be held a week from tonight.
Five applications have been re-
ceived by the board, and the clerk
was ordered to correspond with the
applicants and secure information
which will assist the board in making
selection. This action was taken
as an indication that the majority of
the board is opposed to the selection
of w. j. Eammi11 as superintendent.
Mr.. Hamni11 is still in the fight, and
several of the members of the board
are favorab1y impressed toward him,
but it was evident from the train of
the argument last night that Mr.. Ham
mill will lack majority when the
election is held. Several Of the mem
bers of the board are positively OPP
posed to the election of Mr.. Hamni11.
A few of them believe that Mr.. Ham
mill has not had a proper chance to
make good during his connection with
the Kenosha schools, but even these
men are in favor of wiping off the
slate and starting with new man at
the head of the schools. Mr.. Hammi11
was not at the meeting, and he has
not withdrawn his application for the
appointment.
The board will meet in adjourned
session this evening and take up the
matter, but no action of fna mature
will be taken, and the election of the
man to head the schools will come up
at the meeting of the board to be held
a week from tonight.

ATHLETICS ARE OUT
Manager {. c. AIIeman Gives Up His
Efforts to Maintain Base Ball
Team in Ken0sha.
OFFERS PARK TO Y. M. C. A. BOYS

E.. c, A11eman, the man who has
done more to advance base bali in
Kenosha than any other man in the
city, is to retire from the game. His
team the "Ath1etics,' will be with
drawn at once, and he has given his
good will to Manager Breen and his
Central Park team. Grand View Park
which is one of the monuments of the
loyalty of Mr.. A11eman to the Ma
tiona1 Game, has been offered to the
boys of the Y. M G. A., for their use
as an athletic field, and they will
probably accept it.
In announcing his departure from
the game Mr.. A11eman has sent the
following characteristic letter to the
lovers of the game in the city:
To the Editor-After four years of
ownership and managing interest in
the Kenosha Athletic Base Ball Asso-
citation, have decided to withdraw
from the field this year.
feel that the town cannot properly
support two teams, and owing to the
superior location of the Central Park
grounds, am too handicapped to
transport the crowds to and from
Grand View Park.
I have spent considerable time and
money in the interests of base ball
in the town in the past four years and
heartily thank the public for the
support and encouragement given me
in the past and hope they will accord
the same spirit to the team at Central
Park. Yours truly,
E. C. ALLEMAN.
This letter can not but bring a strong
feeling between the friends of the
two teams and the sacrafice of Mr..
Al1enan will undoubtedly assure the
success Of the new park and the new
team.
The national game in Kenosha
owes much to the efforts of Mr.. Allie
man, and the lovers of the game will
regret that conditions were such as
to make it impossible for Kenosha to
support two teams.

Central Park Team With a Good Pit
cher Shuts Out the Port Wash
ington Team 3 to 0.
ATHLETICS LOSE TOWHITE GIANTS
Chicago Team Wins the Opening Game at
Grand View Park by Score of 10 to
5.-Kenoshs Finishes Strong.

Pete Breen and his sturdy band OF
ball players made good at DCentral
Park Sunday afternoon, and wiped
out the disgrace of two defeats in the
opening season by putting up one OF
the greatest exhibitions of base ball
ever seen in this vicinity.
The old time rivals, the Port WASH
ington team, were forced to lower
their co1ors to the Kenosha team, and
what was more humi1iating the team
from the North was forced to go back
without single run. 1t was 3 to 0
when the game closed, and it was
certainly one of the greatest finishes
ever seen in Kenosha.
For the first six innings neither
team scored. Frank Smith, a pitcher
on Comiskey's staff, had been sent up
here to pitch in place of Dougherty
who had been farned out to Kenosha
and the stunts that Smith did with
the ball were nothing less than mar
ve1ous. Smith was right on his met
tie from the first, and seventeen OF
the heavy hitters from Port Washing
ton were struck out. Groth, who
pitched for the visitors, was no SLOUGH
in any way, and he managed to strike
out thirteen men.
The Kenosha team played in per-
feet form, and the support OF Smith
was one of the features of the game.
Only four of the Ports players sue
4 .~1A
The trouble all started in the fatal
seventh inning. The Ports had been
b1anked in their half of the inning,
and with clean score against them
the Kenosha boys went in to beat out
victory. Herman managed to get a
base on an error, and Uhler took ad-
vantage of a similar play. With a
man on first and second Billy Horn
came up to make his farewell bow tc
the Kenosha fans, and sent the ball
flying out over the fie1ders for two
Dagger. When the Ports had re.
covered there we're two scores over
the home plate, and the game was
won. Horn was left to die at second,
as the next two men struck out.
In the first part of the eighth and
ninth innings the Ports made an eff
fort to win out, but they were unsuc-
cessfu1. In the last of the eighth, to
make the game doub1y sure, the Ke-
nosha boys added another run. Don
avian started it going by getting a
pretty hit to right, and he reached
third and scored on Smiths hit.
It was one of the prettiest games
ever seen in Kenosha, and there is no
doubt but that the fans will eagerly
watch for the return game with the
Ports.
The score follows:

Matters of Interest for Members of Young
Mems Christian Association.

The bowling match between the
Baptist G. 3. society, and the Con
greg.a tiona1 society, scheduled for last
evening, was cancelled yesterday
afternoon, for the reason that the
captain of the former team stated
that it would be impossible to have the
whole team present. In the short
space of time left game was ar
ranged with few of the Y. M. G. A.
boWlers. The game opened at eight
O'Clock, with four young women and
four men on each side. At first both
teams held their own, but when the
fourth frame was filled in things be-
gan to change color, and from this
point the C. Els. led easily. The
game was won by 165 points.
Margaret and James Telfar rolled
the high scores for the winning side,
while Lille Isermann and Elmer Nit
chel1 held the honors for the opposing
team. A match was rolled between
these, and the result was that Miss
Te1far won from Miss Isermann and

ATHLETICS ARE BEATEN.

The opening of Grand View Park
for the season could not be called an
auspicious one for there were less
than FIVE hundred people at the game
and what was even worse the locals
were forced to concede the game to
the White Giants of Chicago by a
score of ten to five. Manager Pfeffer
has a good team but the men are
sadly in need of practice. Steadinan,
the pitcher for the Chicago team,
proved a puzzle for the Athletics for
the first seven innings, but in the
eighth they managed to locate the
curves and drove in FIVE runs. They
made hard effort to win out in the
ninth but Steadman had steadied
down by that time and the Athletics
could not get another man over the
plate. The score Of the game follows:
