near being very severe accident July
4th. With other boys he was enjoy
ing himself jumping off and on the
yard cars at the Iowa Granite Brick
Works He fell from car, it run
ming over both feet, crushing them.
While the injuries are necessarily
painful, we are glad to know he is
getting along as well as could be ex-
pected, with hopes of no bad results.
Rev Boyd received a neat cash do

| influential ladies. The same to be de-
voted to the Indebtedness o. Bethel A.

trustees have therefore used it to the
best of their judgment for that pur

Rev. William Thomas, pastor of the
Second Baptist church of this city,

| court against the Postal Telegraph 4
| Cable Co. to recover $1,000 damages
for alleged non-delivery of a certain

play a series Of games July 1st, Enc

! in the first contest by score of 10 to
| 0, the second game went toe Giants
| to the tune Of to a. On the 4th two
games were played, the morning
| game also being won by the Giants
| by score of 6 to 4. The afternoon
game brought the climax. During the
, fourth inning Hopkins Of the Giants
| after striking out, retiring the side,
| became involved in a dispute with the
umpire, using unbecoming language.
| Other members of the team doing the
same, he was then ordered to cease
playing. Argument then began in
earnest. The Giants refused to play
further. The game therefore was
awarded to Clinton by score of to
0. A new game was then started, the
| Clinton's winning by a score of IL to
| 2. Thus exit Union Giants.

THE BROWNIES WON.

About 500 people had the pleasure
last Sunday afternoon, of seeing the
great Buxton Wonders" ball team de-
feated by the Brownies. Before the
game the Buxtonites were saying how
easy it would be for them to win the
game, the only thing they regretted
was the score would be SO large. So
manager Washington and his team
mates we're confident that they could
not lose the game, but when he looked
at the score board the last half of the
eighth inning he awoke from his stupor
and wondered how it happened. 1t is
easy he told the Brownies. just sim.
ply outplay ed them, and had not Per.
tell Madean error at a crucial time,
the Wonders would not have had SO
many scores.
At three o'clock umpire Ed Bradley
announced the batteries, Higbee and
Wise for Buxton, Watkins and johnson
for Des Moines. He then took his po'
sition and said "play bail" The Won
ders failed to cross the plate and so did
the Brownies ia the first inning. Bux-
ton received another Goose egg in their
time at bat. but the Brownies did some
good batting and secured runs. The
Wonders in the next inning with the
aid of an error, got four scores, and the
Brownies got two more in the 4th in
ming as did the Wonders, making them
one score to the good. Both teams got
goose eggs in the fifth inning and in
the first he If of the sixth things looked
little dark for the Brownies as Wat
kins gave J. Rhodes, the first man up,
his base on balls and he stole second.
Then Brooks came to bat and hit out a
hot one ebtween 1st and I'd base, Riv-
ers caught it and stepped on the base,
making a beautiful double play unas-
sisted. The next man struck out. Nei
ther side scored in the next inning but
in the eighth the Brownies got onto
the sIants that Higbee had been serv-
ing them and before the Wonders
could stop the bombardment four
Brownies crossee the home plate and
the game was won for the best the WIS
could do was to make one more run.
Watkins pitched good game, giving
2 passes. He struck out linen and but
eight hits were recorded against him,
while Higbee was hit safely IL times,
gave two bases on balls, and struck T..
1t was good clean game and but very
little disagreement with the umpire.
E. Wise, the Wonders catcher blocked
Brown when he was sliding to the plate
and the latter told him about it, Wise
wanted to start the Jeffries plan tc
prove that he was right but manager
Washing ton sent him to the bench, at
ter which the fans called him the pu
gilist.
The score was to 9 and mgr. A. L.
Smith was the proudest man in town
to think his young players could take
the old veterans to camp so easy, and
