Friday Of last week one Of the heavi-'
est individual losses by prairie fire
that ever occurred in the county took
place in the HazeltOn neighbOrhood.
The fire started a few miles west Of
aHazeItOn and jn its course came to
the farm Of Il. j. Bauer. Although
there were wide tire-guards around
the place. the wind carried the flames
across them and IL large amount Of
property was destroyed, consisting or
house. barn, farm machinery. etc, as
we'll as some twenty-five or thirty
hogs. The fire ran as far as the N.
p. track before IL stopped. Mr.. Bauer
las but few hundred dollars insur-
ance on his lost property, Which loss
is estimated ut from 90, 500 to $4,000.

friends and neighbors In his many
recent troubles. Ills bright little son

kicked by a horse. Only few weeks
ago lie had to fight a contest ON his
homestead. and now he loses practic'
ally all of his personal property.

In the matter OF prosecution in

they be prosecuted energctIcalIy and

Gus crimes. They should be carefully
watched to prevent possible escape,
and they should be prosecuted with
all the energy and ability that En-
mons can procure. This done, apo
one can be blamed, whatever may oe

to the men who own the Denver track
for n long time lease, with a view OF

town as they should be. Mr.. Gourley
said the matter was entirely up to him
as TO whether he would accept the
proposition and that he had decided 10
do so. He also announced that he viii

The Denver track was built last
spring and after a few weeks attempt
at races it was given uD. From all
that can be learned from the Salt Lake
riders who appeared there, the track
was a failure through gross misman-
agement. The people at the head of it
were afraid to spend a little money to
get good riders and the class of men
competing We're not fast enough to
qualify with a first years crop of nov
ices I'm Salt Lake.
It's Mr.. Gourley's intention to work
with Manager Henry w

to see how the Denver track can be
anything else than success if prop

UMPIRES MUST HAVE NERVE
John Kelly and Tim Hurst Two
Knights of Indicator Who Knew
Their Business,

L do not recall the mighty Cox, the
fighting unpire-so aIFeged-but say,
pugilistic umpires have been numerous
since the game evoluted from town
ball, cat ball or what not" says Charles
Lamar. The man with the courage
TO enforce his rulings makes the ideal
umpire.
It's poor job for the amateurs With
too much cerebral spread of sail Colds
by, who umpired in the Southern league
some years ago, was well educated and
as game as a pebble. In 1885 he played
left field for Atlanta and did il bril-
hantly- Once in Macon he met an am
bilious incompetent posing as an UNI
pire, whose work on balls and strikes
was fierce. He gave it to Goidsby good
and hard In the third inning, while
at bat, Goldsoy whispered: say, you
big mutt, you have soaked me enough
on strikes, and If you don't give me a
square deal now I'll drag you under
that grand stand after this game and
take a fall out of your hide This ar
bitrator was on and Goldsby walked.
The next day the alleged umpire was
missing.
Honest John Kelly and Tim Hurst
We're the boys to engage in a twist with
any player at any old time and in any
place. Once when the Clevelands. IN

field catching fungo flies. As Hurst
stepped on the field q ball went ever

plate and paid no attention to the ball.
and Hurst waved him back. Jack gave
no heed. and Pat Tebeau yelled, Get
that ball, Jack; Hurst is here today

go and get it? Well, did he?

pitchers box and knocked Burlington
down. 1t was ticklish business to tread
on the toes of Kelley or Hurst
