CHALLENGE HURLED BACK
IN TEETH OF THE FAN

The baseball war grows apace. The
following came to hand this after.
noon. addressed to the sporting editor
of The Republican:
In your issue of last evening we
notice a bold def from the Fans, in
which they state each team has won
two games. We wish to remind the
author of this note and his bold bunch
of has-been ball players that they
have played the Hooligans four games,
won II and lost three, which still ne,
ables us to keep our place away up
towards the top, n We wish to state
further that the Fans as a baseball
team are a complete failure and hard,
ly worthy of attention. AS several
members of the Hooligans will be
away Sunday, We will be compelled to
reject their challenge, much as We re,
gret it, but may take them on the Sun,
day after the Fourth, if nothing else
turns up. Yours respectfully,
THE HOOLIGAN BALL CLUB"

RAINFALL -.

SOME SECTIONS OF STATE VISIT
ED BY GOOD DoWNPoURS
AND OTHERS ARE DRY.
Week Was Cool at First But Warmer
Weather Prevailed Toward the
End-High Winds at Howell Dry
ing Up the Range-Good Fruit
Prospect at Moore.

The weekly crop bulletin for the
week ending June 26, issued from the
Cheyenne Office on Tuesday, gives the
following general summary:
The week opened unusually cool,
but warmer weather became general
before the close, the temperature aver,
aging from four to seven degrees per
day below the normal. The rainfall
was quite unevenly distributed, being
quite heavy in some sections of the
northeastern counties, while in some
parts of the state, little or no rain fell
during the week. Light frosts were
reported from a few sections, though
no damage resulted.
The weather has been favorable fol-
meadows n ranges, which continue
in good condition, n a good hay crop
is indicated. Alfalfa is being harvest,
ed over much of the state, although
its harvest has been delayed in some
sections by continued rains. Gardens
are growing slowly on account of the
cool nights. Grain has made good
growth, and is in good condition.
The streams of the state are falling
rapidly, but water is still plentiful in
all sections. Crops over much CT the
state are now being irrigated, although
rains in the northeastern counties have
been in xcess of the needs of the
crops.
The correspondents in Albany, Car
bon and Laramie counties enclosed the
following notes in their reports to Sec

DATA ON PNEUMONIA.
yoIuminous Reports Presented to
Board of Health Commission.

New York, May 3.-voluminous re-
ports from workers in colleges, lab
oratories and hospitals all over the
country have been presented at the
first general session here of the pneu-
monia commission appointed by the
New York board Of health.
Although considerable progress has
been made in studying the causes of
the disease, methods of treatment and
means of prevention it has not been
sufficient to warrant the publication OF
definite results. The meteorological ex-
periments have been, it was stated
most interesting. The existence of the
pneumonia germ in normal mouths
as we'll as in those of persons having
the disease, has been considered and
the value of disinfecting mouth washes
had been discussed.
The subject of air in the public
buildings, with methods of sweeping
also is being carefully considered in
its relation to pneumonia and the in
vestigation will continue along the var
ious lines laid down until some def
mite results shall have been reached.

LONG MOTOR TRIP.
Hartman Approves Plan to Take U.

Chicago. May Be. H. Hartman

ocean trip of the new gasoline motor
Just finished and turned over to the
Union Pacific railroad. It is the inten-
ton to operate the car from Omaha to
Portland, Ore, exhibit a few days at
the Lewis and Clark exposition and
then run to San Francisco over the
Shasta route. From there it will run
to Los Angeles and from there to New
Orleans and thence to Chicago via St.
Louis.
When the car reaches Chicago it
will make a speed and hauling power
run from this city to Milwaukee and
return. After this the motor probably
will be taken to New York via Buff
falo, and from there back to Omaha
by way of Washington, Pittsburg and
Chicago, thus circuiting the continent.
This will give a thorough test of its
long-distance abilities. power on
grades and Will satisfy the curiosity Of
railroad men who have manifested IN
usual interest in the innovation.
The motor is capable of hauling at
least one heavy passenger car over
moderate grVdes. The machine is pro-
PEELED entirely by gasoline, there be-
ing no electric motor.

RAINMAKER WINS.
Receives $1,000 From Los Angeles
Citizens for His Work.

Los Angeles. Cal, May 3.-CharIes
Hatfield, a "rainmaker," who has
been working since December Is last
to produce Is inches of rain for
southern California by May /, on a
pledge of a number of Los Angeles
merchants to pay him $1,000 If he
succeeded, has completed his demon
tration and has been paid a large pro-
portion of the sum promised. The re-
mainder of the amount guaranteed
him will be paid shortly, it is said.
The fall of rain in Los Angeles during
the season ending May 1 has been
1896 inches, which far exceeds the
fall of last season and is above the
normal annual precipitation for this
section.
Hatfield established his rainmaking
plant in Altadena, in the foothills OF
the mountains. some 20 miles from
Los Angeles, on December Is, and the
amount of rainfall from that date in
the immediate locality of his plant
has been 26.49 inches. Hatfield's
method is a generation of gas and its
discharge into the atmosphere from
chimney. which has the result, he
claims, of attracting forces of nature
which compel moisture to form and
be precipitated in the shape of rain.

BURDEN HEIRS COMPROMISE.
After Fighting in the Courts for 20
Years.

New York, May 3.-After litigation in
various courts extending over a period
of twenty years, the sons of the late
Henry Burden of Troy, n. Y, inventor
of horseshoe machine and other de-
vices from which he amassed a fortune,
are reported to have settled their DIFF
ferences by compromise. The plant at
Troy alone is valued at $4,000, 900 and
probably more than $100, 600 in counsel
fees and court costs has been expended
in the fight among the heirs
It is said the compromise was brought
about through the efforts of Robert L
Cutting, counsel in this city for I.
Townsend Burden and of William J.
Roche at Albany, representing James
A. Burden, by the payment of certain
sums, but the terms have not been
made public. The charge that led to
the litigation which began in 1884, was
that the directors voted to pay James
A Burden $4,000 a year as royalties on
certain inventions. I. Townsend Burden
alleged that the royalties were far
greater than the inventions were worth,
and that it was a fraudulent scheme to
deprive him of his full share of the
profits. Henry Burden died in 1871. In
1881 his concern became a joint stock
company, having two thousand shares
of stock, of which ]. A. Burden held
one thousand shares, l. Townsend Bur-
den 99S shares, and John P. Arts, who
was later selected as umpire, two
shares. It was alleged by one of the
litigants that Arts always favored the
other Thus the bitter litigation and
family quarrel began which has just
been terminated.
Henry Burden, father of the litigants,
was the inventor of the hook-headed
spike used on all railroads, but his
greatest achievement was the machine
which makes horseshoes. It was first
set up in 1884 and perfected in 1857.

Coroner Keith was called this morn
ing to 126 North Monroe street to in
vestigate the death of 0. H Lowe. a
white man. who died there suddenly
this morning on the floor of his sitting
room in the presence of his family.
1T looks like a case of neglect more
than anything else said Dr.. Keith af-
ter he had made the examination and
had piled the family with the questions.
Mrs. Lowe said that her husband had
diphtheria and had been attended by
DR.. 0. L. Taylor, who, however, had not
been there since Tuesday morning. It
did not look like diphtheria to me but
I made only a superficial examination.
No autopsy will be held"
Lowe was taken sick last Saturday
and complained of a swollen throat.
Sunday and Monday he became worse
and DR. Taylor administered antitoxin.
Last night he seemed to be feeling
pretty well. according to Mrs. loves
statement TO DR.. Keith. But this morn
ing about O'Clock while walking about
the room, and showing great difficulty
in breathing, he suddenly reeled, and
fell to the floor dead.
Lowe was about SO years of age DR..
Keith said that he looked as if he had
been sick for some time. and that pro
badly some other weakness aided in
the death.
