G. F. Cook, mayor of Austin, and

wood Falls during portion of last
week. Mr.. Cook came to Red wood
county as an adjuster for his COM

es by reason of the hail storm along
Rice Greek in Delhi and Kintire
townships several weeks ago.
Thursday and Friday he spent
along the scene of destruction and
in every case so far as heard by
this paper he adjusted the loss to
the entire satisfaction of the owner.
David McNaughton, whose entire
field was wiped out, received $3.50
from the company for his loss, and
he expressed entire satisfaction.
Ole Voigland, the tenant on the
John L. Borg farm, received $500
as a result of his practically COM

Col. Jalbert, through his men,
played three games with Waseca,
a bunch of fine, gentlemanly young
fellows, whom we liked better the
longer we knew them-last Friday
and Saturday. Redwood won the
first game by a score OF to IA full
Z inning game. The second game,
played in the evening, and a seven

game, played Saturday afternoon,

FIRST GAME.
For five innings of the first game
the Redwood players never put up
better work. Mead was in the box.
During those five innings only Is
men got to bat, an error of first
making the extra man a possibility.
Six of the Is men put out whacked
air space. But in the sixth John
ME fell down for a few minutes.
Four hits and pass were charged
up against him, the first freedom he
gave the Wasecaites, and with two
stolen bases on an error of center
and of first, three men sashayed
completely around the bases, In
the next three innings only one
score was added-that on single,
a stolen base and an error of short.
Mic. Weller soaked" the ball for
two Dagger in the ninth, but it
availed him naught. He died as
far as he swiped.
Only one of the Redwood seven
runs were earned. In the second
inning, when two men crossed, it
was all on account of the lobsteriza-

w. L. PEAVEY DROWNED
Popular Agent of Eagle Roller Mill Co.
Meets His Death While Bath
ing in the Lake,
Steps Off into Deep Water Shortly After
Entering the Lake on His
Initial Dip.

Walter L. Peavey, agent at the
Redwood Falls elevator of the Eagle
Roller Mill Co.. and a most popular
young resident of the city, was
drowned in Lake Redwood about
nine o'clock last Saturday evening.
Mr.. Peavey, with party of re-
modelers of his elevator, had a few
minutes prior reached spot on the
lake opposite the swimming pool,
some of them not having bathing
suits to permit of their bathing in
the pool. Mr.. Peavey could swim
but little. He was very warm, and
rushing into the water he stepped
off into a deep hole over the en-
bankment northwest of the old mill
site. He never came up again. His
frightened co-swimmers gave the
alarm, and in half an hour every
boat in town and a number of bath
ers we're trying to find the body.
The search lasted all of Saturday
night and Sunday morning up to
1905, when Gus. McGettrick in
a boat with Peter Mcpherson
and Eugene Leland grappled it
at the bottom OF thirty-five feet of
water, three rods north of where
the accident occurred. The body
was placed in Bells undertaking
rooms a few minutes later.
Mr.. Peavey umpired the Red
wood Waseca ball game in the after
noon. Later he attended choir
practice at the Episcopal church,
and from the latter he went to the
bathing pool, very warm. Physi-

TWIN FALLS BEATEN
Shoshone Ball Team Took the Sage
brush Grubbers Into Camp
Grand Stand Collapsed.

With never a show of winning
after the second inning, the Twir
Falls ball team met defeat at the
hands of the Shoshone aggregation
on the local grounds Sunday after
noon. The week before Shoshone
had met with such al drubbng al
Twin Falls, that victory was doubly
joyful to the fans and the fact that
good clean ball was played by both
teams, and that not a single
wrangle occurred made the game
interesting to the entire body OF
spectators.
The only occurrance that marred
the afternoon entertainment was
the collapse of the grand stand in
the middle of the game. Excite
ment had reached a climax, Sho-
shone was piling up runs and the
occupants OF the grand stand were
roofing franticly when the stringers
which held the seats rocked over
and the entire structure with the
exception of the light frame work
fell to the ground. The game came
to an abrupt stop and the crowd
rushed madly to the stand to help
take out the, injured. Luckily, !
however, the planks fell in such
way that no one received serious
injuries and aside from a few
sprains and bruises there was little
damage done. One little girl 4
however, had some front teeth
knocked out and her tongue badly
Iacerated by coming in contact
with a nail Before the grand |
stand was half full several persons
on its weakness and

several declined to go into the
stand on that account. 1t was al
most miraculous that no one was
eriously injured, and the persons

Country Looking Good.

A. Mcpherson, agricultural su
perintendent for the Twin Fall
Land & Water company, cam,
over from the new Cassia count,
town to. spend Sunday in the capi
tai. He says the farmers in The
Twin Falls section are taking q
live interest in the question OF good
roads and are proceeding along
practical lines.
Mr.. Mcpherson declares they
will have the best roads in the
state in short time The work OF
clearing, grading and putting in
culverts is being done systematic
ally and along the most approved
lines. This highway improvement
spirit also pervades the town of
Twin Falls, where the principal
streets are sprinkled daily. Those
that the sprinkling carts do not
reach are flooded once week.
Mr.. Mcpherson reports general
interest in the farmers meetings,
at which instruction in irrigation
and other subjects are given. These
meetings are now being held for 10
miles in all directions from Twin
Falls. AT one place tent was
put up to accommodate the crowd.
The farmers are still clearing
their land of sagebrush and put
ting in crops. They are working
diligently to prove up on their
holdings. One motive, and very |
unusual one, that spurs them to
is desire to place their
land in shape so it may be taxed,
thereby giving the district funds
for organized public improvement.
Within month Mr.. Mcpherson
the farmers will be har-
vesting early planted oats and
wheat. At this time there are ripe
cherries on trees planted April 10
asst and potatoes suited for table
lse planted about the same time
ire now being dug. The local
market IS also supplied with home
,rown vegetables of all kinds.
These were raised, for the most
'art, without irrigation, having
'een planted in time to get start
rom the spring rains. At the
resent time water is plentiful and :
great deal is going to waste. At
he experimental farm, says Mr..
Jefferson, there is a sign reading,
This land was in sagebrush May
0, 1905" Today there are 26 crops {

SH0SH0NE AT HALEY
Large Crowd Celebrated the Fourth
In the Neighborirg City
Bali Game No Good.

The Fourth of July was very
quiet day in Shoshone, there being
no organized celebration here, other
than elaborate display of fireworks
given in the evening by the Japan
ese colony of the town. The citi-
zcns who went to Haley on the
special train the morning of the
Fourth and remained until its re-
turn got enough excitement to last
them for some time to come.
When the special train pulled
out of the station at 1920 a. M, it
had 96 Shoshone passengers on
board. Additional pleasure seek
crs were picked up along the line.
50 that the train was crowded when
it arrived at its destination. The
visitors were met at the station by
the HALEY band and marched to
Main street where the parade was
+ formed headed by the Shoshone |
band. Following the parade the
literary exercises were held in the |
court house square.
After dinner the Shoshone band
gave short concert on Main street
which was followed by the ball
game between Shoshone and an
aggregation from various, parts of
the state called, for appearance,
the Wood River ball team. The
game promised to be very close
and interesting one, for the first
four innings, each team having
scored three runs in that time. In
the last hall OF the fifth, however,
with the state aggregation at bat,
Umpire Chaphe, who had charge
of the bases at that time, made
such raw break that it became {
ippearant that he intended to !
hrow the game to Hailey's hired l
men if they could not get it any t
,ther way. The trouble arose over S
IN attempt to steal third by one of I
he hired men. Shoshone's second Il
,aseman had the ball unknown to u
he runner and put it on him be- .
ore he got ten feet off of second
ase. Umpire Chaphe whose bus
ness it was to watch the ball and
asses, coolly turned his back on a
he play and walked off toward
rst base. When he was called on
u a decision he took the stand
nat he did not see the play and
liled to call the man out although
he runner freely admitted that he L
as put out fair and square. The
ling was SO raw that even the bet
Il element OF Haley who saw the of
lay was disgusted and called it an be
itrage. The management of the tn
alley team insisted on taking ad- fill
lntage of the umpire's rotten tn
1rk and refused to give the 19
sitors suare deal by calling
e runner off. This piece of Is
bbery coming on top to sever NJ
