Rosebud County news. [volume] (Forsyth, Mont.) 1901-1906, 1904-07-14

H. E. Fletcher, of the firm of Flet-
cher Bros, of Minneapolis, returned
from his trip to the National Park and
Hunters Hot Spring Sunday, and
spent a few days with Forsyth friends
before returning home.
There are very few men who care to
shuttle off this mortal coil and leave
their family wholly unprotected. If
you have policy in The Germania
Life Insurance Co. of New York, you
have the best protection. w. F.. John

E. M. Huff went up to Billings
Saturday where he placed under arr
rest young man by the name of
Marsclinson, who is said to have bro
ken into the store and postoffice at
Terry and possessed himself of stamps
to a large amount, also numerous
knives and ra.ors. Mr.. Huff brought
his charge to Forsyth where he was
taken in tow by Under Sheriff Western
Of Custer county who took him to Miles
City.
AS billed, the Sioux Indian ball club
put in an appearance Saturday in
their special car, and during the day
erected their canvas fence, that they
might get full benefits of the gate re-
ceipts. Quite a, crowd assembled at
the grounds and at about four O'Clock
in the, afternoon witnessed the balloon
ascension with Chief Grow on the APP
pending trapeze. The climatic condi-
tons were favorable for good demon
stration in this line, there being no
wind, but the big ''ihjun" seemed to
have lost his courage after ascending
about $50 feet and cut loose, the par
achute barely having time to open be-
fore the aerial navigator again landed
on mother earth. The balloon scared
to height Of probaly 800 feet, falling
| within so of the place where it was in
1ated. Immedi ately following the
balloon incident the ball game was
called by Babe Smith, who, by the
| way is as good an umpire as it has been
our privilege to watch umpirea game
! of ball. Being player himself and
knowing the rules from A to u, his
decisions were fair and impartial
and not to be contradicted. In the
first two innings the locals were just a
trif1e sleepy and permitted the Indians
\ to accumulate four runs, scoring two
themselves. After the second inning
the home boys woke up and handed
the Indians little package wrapped
up in nothing each time they came to
bat, running their score up to a grand
total of 18. The noble red men took
their defeat good naturally and acted
very gentlemanly through the entire
game. A game of indoor base ball
was to have been played in the even
ing, but the Forsyth. team having q
game matched with Red Lodge, ant
being compelled to take the nigh
.rain in order to make the connections
and play Sunday afternoon, decided i
would be unwise to play the game
consequently it was called off. w,
were not so fortunate as to be able t,
witness the game at Red Lodge, blu
from information geathered it must hav'
been spectacular in the extreme; the
score, 16 to 3, would also verify thi
suppo sition. The Forsyth boys ha,
their batting clothes on and gave tn
Red Lodge fielders goodly amount o
exercie. In fact they gave the Re,
Lodge boys the impression that the,
were tribe of phenomenal ''hitters. ,
Manager Lane has arranged a gam
with Billings on Sunday and will
Sheridan, Wyo., on Monday ant
Tuesday of next week. We opine tina
Billings will be an easy victim, but tn
Sheridan team has a number of vic
tories to their credit this season, il
hotly contested games and will un
doubtedly try the metal of our team t
a considerable extent, yet we predic
\ success for the ''hummers."
