FIRST DAY TO PAY TAX.
County Treasurer Bowen Issued 12s
Tax Receipts on Wednesday.

AS an indication of the prosperity
which is abroad in this section of the
world a reference might be made to
the fact that on Wednesday, the first
day that taxes could be paid, that 12S
receipts were issued against 76 last
year by the county treasurer. County
Treasurer Bowen is responsible for the
statement that the taxpayers have
been more prompt in the payment of
the taxes this year than they have
ever been since he has been in Office
There is but one conclusion to be
drawn from the fact that the taxpay-
ers have paid their taxes so promptly
and that is that they have more ready
money this year than they had last.

RELEASED
BY THE JURY
An Elkton Man Freed from Charge
of Assault and Battery

Last Thursday morning William
Linneman, Of Elkton, was arraigned
before Justice Matson on warrant
sworn out by Alice ]. Little, charging
him with assault and battery. J. Z.
Alexander, who appeared for the de-
tense, filed an affidavit for change of
venue and the case was tried by JUS
tice Hall of the police court. Here
the defendant demanded a jury trial
and c. H. Collins, S. w. McCarl, H.
L. Dawson, W. M. Townsend, ]. T.
Tidball and NJ. T. Wimsey were select
ed to try the issue. Mr.. Wimsey could
not be found so the other five Jurors
heard the evidence and rendered
verdict of "not guilty" The alleged
assault occurred during an attempt of
Linneman to move some of his goods
into the building occupied by the
Littles and which he had lately pur-
chased. The evidence failed to dis
close to the satisfaction of the jury
that any unlawful, force had been
used, so they acquitted the defendant.
Philo Hall appeared for the state in
the absence of j. p. Cheever.

The Public Opinion of Aug. Is, con.
tains the following: "Two young lady
schoolma'ams from Brookings, Miss
Mary Boyd and Miss Lima Evans,
made short visit in Watertown this
week. The girls started with Mr.. and
Mrs. Evans up into Minnesota with a
team. Coming back one of the horses
went lame, and the trip twas progress
ing too slowly to suit the young peo-
pie, so they decided to go the rest OF
the way by rail. Mr.. and Mrs. Evans
left them at Appleton, dead broke.
A telegram was forwarded to Brook
ings for money; they waited patiently;
no money came. The train came and
went, still no money. 1t was not
nearly as much fun as it had been
twelve hours previous. The girls
were feeling decidedly hollow, but
some kind person took them in and
cared for them. How they got to
Watertown will probably never be

money.

If Brookings alone had trouble with
Watertown over base ball the REGISTER
would be inclined to think that the
blame rested with the home team, but
mas much as every team that has yis-
tied that place this season has made
the same complaint, it is quite evident
that the blame should be placed at
Watertown, especially when all teams
playing at Brookings have expressed
themselves as being highly pleased
with the treatment they received both
from the team and citizens.

Baseball Authority Gives Us Water
town Game

Upon fair statement Of the facts in
the case concerning the game played
at Watertown on Tuesday of last week,
Frank E. Force, sporting editor OF the
Minneapolis Tribune declares that the
game should have been awarded to
the Brookings "Reds." When an
authority whose reputation is recog-
nized everywhere, to whom is referred
questions from al over the northwest,
states his opinion so clearly and torci-
bly, it is clearly time for the harpies
who strive to defend Watertown's rob-
berry to purge themselves of falsehood
and admit the theft as being done for
the honor and glory of Watertown's
reputation in baseball. Mr.. Forces
article in the Tribune is as follows:
"The report printed in the Tribune
last week from Watertown, S. d., in
which the Watertown team was credited
with a victory over Brookings by a
score of l to 0 in thirteen innings has
drawn a storm of protest from the fans
OF Brookings, who claim that their
team really won the game in the
twelfth and that on account OF a dis
pute during which the Watertown peo-
I We claimed they would not give any
share of the receipts to the visitors,
Brookings team was forced to give up
it's one run and 60 to the field again
when it was too dark to see and the
Watertown players succeeded in max
ing ground hit which sent in one run.
The trouble in the twelfth was over
the question of whether or not the
third base was fastened down or was
always loose. A Brookings fan writes
of the matter as follows:
with Brookings at bat in the
twelfth inning and two men out Nc
Donald reached first on an error and
went to third on Cruikshank's single.
The two base runners started the
double steal, Mcdonald drawing the
throw to third base and in sliding into
third base, feet first, the sack was de-
ia ched and kicked about eight feet
away, the third baseman then put the
ball on him, latter failing to get him
on the slide to the bag, which failure
was admitted by the umpire) and
threw the ball to the pitcher, allowing
Mcdonald to score.
The umpire held that the base rum
ner was out if he had to follow the
bag.
The umpire asked the Watertown
manager il the bag was fastened and
was told, yes, then the umpire called
Mcdonald safe.
when he saw he was wrong and
fairly caught, the Watertown manager
claimed the bag was loose and had
always been so. The umpire then
held that the base runner must follow
the bag and was out.
The only ground rule given our
captain by the Watertown umpire and
captain was on overthrown balls"
According to the rules when the
runner detaches the base before he is
touched or forced out he is safe and
does not have to follow the base il it
is knocked out OF the way. II there
were any giound rules about the base
as the Watertown manager claims, the
umpire should, according to the rules,
have found out about them before the
game and told them to the other side.
The fact that the Brookings team was.
forced to wait thirty minutes before
the field was again cleared OF the spec
