WILLIAMSVILLE.
Townshend Met the Real Thing.

When we read the article in the Towns
bend items last week In regard to the
ball game TO be played between Towns
bend and Albert Shermans semi-pro-
fessionals at Newfane we wondered what
kind of a game of blum the manager of
the Townshend team was putting up,
but when we heard OF the poster he sent
down to Newfane to be placed in the
store saying The Townshends are going
to beat the Williamsvilles come and see
how We do it, we thought either the
manager had a sure thing up his sleeve
or thought the semi-professionals a lot
of kids. Townshend placed their crack
pitcher, Lawrence, in the box, but after
the semi professionals had knocked out
nine runs in two innings he was replaced
by the eX-New England league pitcher.
Bush. He proved more successful, but
the game was already won by the semi
professionals. The tin horns and four
leaf clovers brought down from Towns
bend were of no avail, the score standing
10 to in favor of Sherman's semi-pro-
fessionals. Ellis of Brattleboro was in
the box for Williamsville and he was the
first real article that Townshend had
met this season, and they couldn't con-
meet with his curves, in fact the semi
professionals outclassed Townshend and
at no stage of the game was Townshend
in IT. The last seen of the Townshend
manager was when he was trying to ex-
tract sunshine from a cucumber vine
Manager Sherman says he is sorry he has
no open date for the rest of the season.

teams.

Sherman's semi-professionals from Will
Evansville certainly did the trick on the
Newfane grounds Saturday, when they
won from Townshend 10 to 3. In the first
two innings Lawrence was in the box
for Townshend, and with five hits and a
like number of errors Sherman's men
scored nine runs. In the third the boys
pulled themselves together and Bush went
into the box. In the remaining six in
nings Townshend made only one error
and the semi professionals found only
one safe hit, this being made by Ellis in
the sixth. The Townshend team was
very much weakened by the absence Of
w. Sparks, catcher and H. Sparks, first
baseman. They would not only have
strengthened the team in those positions,
but would have helped with their sure
hitting. AS it was the locals only made
Is safe hits off Ellis, the star twirler from
Brattleboro. The Bellows Falls Y. NJ. C..

Frank Pierce's house, on his hill farm
two miles or more south of the village, was
burned to the ground Thursday noon. The
chimney burned out, setting fire to the
roof The blaze was not discovered by
Mrs. Pierce, who was busy about her
work, but Mr. Pierce, who was at work
short distance away, saw the fire, and
got to the house as quickly as possible,
but the fire was so well under way that
he could not go upstairs, and little was
saved. Mrs. Bradley, the nearest neigh

power to help save the contents of the
house, and Miss Webster, the photo
grapher, happened to be In the neighbour
hood at the same time taking views.

The Homeland Army.

The tenth annual meeting Of the boys
and girls Homeland Army was held We'd
nesday, August %, at o'clock, p. m
The weather was perfect and 80 young
missionary soldiers presented themselves
at Bencasson cabin for their usual good
time The meeting was held on the
cabin piazza, draped with the national
colors for the occasion. A profusion Of
flowers sent by friends in the valley
added much to the decorations.
After devotional exercises conducted by
Rev. L.. p. Broad, the young people were
taught a new song by Miss Harriet Broad
of Chicago. A letter was read from Rev.
w. b. d. Gray, superintendent Of home
missions in Wyoming, to whom the army
sent their contributions last year to es-
tabish a Sunday school where there had
never been one. This letter was listened
to with keen interest The army realized
the need of this effort when Mr.. Gray
stated that the children Of that town
being asked who was Jesus Christi"
replied, 1.-The first President of the United
States!"
Miss Alice L. White of Montgomery,
Ala, gave a very helpful exercise upon
the Scripture found in John 3:16. An
annual exercise of much interest is the
unlocking and opening of the banks con-
tanning the money for missions This is
the banner year, for the amount reached
SASS.
After partaking Of Bencasson refresh
ments and being given the freedom of
the grounds with games etc, each MEM
Der was presented with a copy of the
Gospel of st. John by Miss S. r. Sage
of Boston. Then the children climbed
into the large picnic wagon and being
provided with flags, they stood and waved
them while singing My Country tbs OF
Thee, When the army charioteer, II.
NJ. Hescock, gathered the lines and
the four strong horses started down the
hill with their happy load whose voices
could be heard in the distance giving the
Homeland Army yell
During ten years this army has raised
S7S.75, which has been contributed to
missionary work in Vermont, Kansas,
Texas, South Dakota and wyoming.

FIGHTING IN WARSAW

Reign Of Terror in the city-NearIy
One Hundred Persons Killed

Workmen

Warsaw, May NEARLY zoe per-
sons were killed or wounded in dis
turbances In various quarters of War
saw yesterday. The troops apparently
were uncomfortable and violated all
orders. TO act with moderation. They
fired into the crowds of demonstrators.
and workmen in retaliation resorted to
the use of firearms and bombs. Many
women and children are among the
dead and dying.
What approaches n reign OF terror
exists. the city presents most gloomy
aspect and the temper of the entire
community augurs i'll. The presence OF
numerous patrols of Cossacks, cavalry
lurking danger.
No untoward incident was reported
until after noon. The first disturbances
occurred between l and 9 y. m. when
a procession of several thousand work
men carrying red flags marched along
Zelanzna street. The demonstration
was quite orderly and proceeded with
out molestation for some distance.
Suddenly several squadrons OF Uh-
lans appeared. but without interfering
with the procession. and took up po-
sition along the sidewalks while the
workmen passed through the lines.
Then a company of infantry ap-
preached from the front. and immedi-
ately the cavalry charged into the pro-
cession. driving II with the fiat of their
swords into a disorganiZed mass.
When the cavalry withdrew the infan-
try fired Il volley. whereupon the dem
onstrators turned and fed.
The infantry continued 10 discharge
volleys- into the retreating. shrieliing
multitude.
Thirty-one persons were killed and
many wounded, and of the latter fif-
teen will die.
The shooting is described as having
been quite unprovoked. II has aroused
the most intense Indignation among
all classes in Warsaw. Many of those
who were killed or wounded were shot
in the back. showing that they were
running away when they were struck.
Another terrible scene was enacted
at p. IN. at the corner of Zlota and

Four More Bears Killed.

Denver, April ga Republican spe.
cial from Glenwood Springs last night
says: Four bears were killed by the
Presidents party yesterday. Details
of the killing have not yet come In.
Late to-day Secretary Loeb received a
telephone message from ranch house
two miles from camp. The message
was dictated by the President and
read to Mr.. Loeb by Elmer Chapman,
the courier. 1t said:
I'VE got four bears yesterday. We
are all we'll"
There was more to the message
touching upon governmental affairs,
but the rumor that the President had
been i'll was proven unfounded. 1t has
not been determined when the party
will move to its new location about
sixteen miles from Glenwood Springs.
At the same time 1t is believed the
change proposed will result in the kill
ing of grizzlies, which variety has
been particularly scarce. Brown bears
have been found in plenty, but the
grizzly and the silver tip appear to be
too willy for the hunters.
Souvenir hunters are haunting the
shop of Frank Hayes, the local taxi
dermist who is mounting the skins
sent in by the President. He is giving
away ejoints from the feet of the bears
killed. His mail is growing heavier
every day because OF the prominence
given him as the mounter Of the
trophies from the Presidents hunt.
