Independents Lose in West Brattleboro

The Brattleboro Independents Were
defeated at West Brattleboro Saturday
by the score of to l. Although four
of his best men were absent, Captain
Manager Ferriter played with picked
up team rather than cancel the game.
Plumb. the husky blacksmith pitcher,
proved something of puzzle to the In
dependents, striking out IL men. The
feature of the game was the heavy
swatting of Ferriter for the lndepend'
ents. He laced two sizzlers to the long
grass for two sacks each and brought
in two runs for his team. The crowd
was treated to display Of pugilistic
ability in the eighth. Two members
of the opposing teams had discussion
upon baseball etiquette and the ques-
ton of the right of way of a baserun.
ner. Both parties Immediately resorted
to that obsolete argument of kings,
namely force, and matters threatened
a small sized riot for few moments.
Finally the difficulty was submitted TO
arbitration and amicably settled.

Sporting Notes.

The golf and tennis teams of the
Keene Country club will play return
match with the Wantastiquet golf club
today. The Pine Grove Springs golf
team will play here August II.
Easthampton played the snappiest
ball that has been seen here this year,
and the locals seemed to imbibe lit
tie of the visitors spirit. At any
rate they showed unusual speed be-
tween innings.
Pitching fer Stafford Springs Satur-
day Arthur Monroe held Ludlow down
to two hits AID won his game 10 TO o..
He was given perfect support, while
behind Conroy, "the boy wonder, 10
errors were made.
Athol broke even With the New York
Giants Saturday afternoon, the game
being called at the end of the NTH IN
ming on account of rain. In the same
number of innings Millers Falls lost to
Sunderland by score of to 0. Only
one hit was made off Potter, the sun
derland pitcher. Keene lost to Hills
boro at Hillsboro Bridge, N. H., by a
score of IL to 3, % hits being made OH
David.
Arthur Monroe, the famous Wes-
leyan pitcher and all round athlete, is
spending several days in town at the
home of his mother. Mr.. Monroe is at
present on the pitching staff of the
Stafford Springs baseball nine and Is
counted as one of its strongest twirlers.
For four years Monroe was the main
stay in the box for Wesleyan and con
sidered among the first rank OF the
college pitchers of the country,
Keene will be the attraction at a
matinee performance on the island sat
urday afternoon. This is the fourth
game in the series between the Attn
Ietics and Keene. The first two games
went TO Keene by the scores of to 3
and to 4. The Athletics took the
scalp at the last powwow by the war
whoop of 6 to 5. 1t is safe bet that

ATTEMPT AT BURGLARY.
Bold Effort to Plumber the House OF
Mrs Ada z. Dowley on Main Street.

One of the boldest attempts at bur-
glary which has taken place in this
town for long time was made upon
the house of Mrs. Ada Z. Dowley on
Main street Tuesday morning at about
$50 o clock Mrs. Dowley was awak-
ened by slight sound as OF rats
gnawing wood but thought nothing of
il. When the sound continued for
some time without cessation Mrs. Dow
lev became suspicious and began to
investigate. "Jake, a large bull dog,
the guardian of the house, raised his
voice in constant burglar alarm and
begged to be allowed to sample the
wearing apparel of the knights of the
Jimmy. His mistress refused to allow
him to go downstairs until she called
d. w. Tenney on the telephone. Be-
fore his arrival the burglars had taken
their departure.
There is evidence that there were
two men concerned in the affair and 1T
is probable that the work was done by
amateurs acquainted with the premises.
Entrance was gained by forcing up
screen in a pantry window with an
inch chisel. On the floor were found
several match stubs which the intrud-
ers had used to light paratfine can
die, and drops of wax showed the
course through the house taken by the
would-be thieves. After effecting an
entrance, attention was first given to
refrigerator. Two tomatoes and two
oranges were removed from the ice
box and one of the tomatoes, half eat
en-, was found just outside the pantry
window The only real damage done
was upon a valuable mahogany secre-
tary in the front part of the house.
An attempt was made to force open
locked compartment and the door was
split and shivered. The lock success
fully resisted their efforts and the bur
glars became alarmed before their
work was done. The men were evil
IDENTIFY looking for money as a large
quantity of silver was left unmolested
upon the sideboard. There was no
evidence of ransacking anywhere but
the secretary above mentioned.
Before the dew dried tracks OF
man could be seen which led away
from the pantry through which the en-
trance to the house was gained BY
the size Of the tracks and the depth OF
their impression in the grass it would
seem that they were made by large

that the gang which has been operat
ing for the past few weeks in Green
field may have struck this town. Alb
solutely no clue was left by which the
marauders might be traced and appre
hended and they will in all probability
never be caught, although the matter
is being investigated by the local pc
lice authorities.
George E. Fox's lunch room in the
Dutton building on Depot street was
entered few weeks ago and a guam

are inclined to think that both bur

A mad dog scare was among the
exciting events Wednesday morn
ing. The opening scene was at

estray canine crept in at some un-
known hour and from its actions
appears to be afflicted with rabies.
Proprietor Radabaugh dislodged
the creature, and with a Winches-
ter as companion started to produce
dog funeral. The animal lodged
the first shot or two, but like the
famous home run episode Dutch"
got there after while, and there
is new face in dog heaven and
one bark less on the sea Of life.
Our people better watch their
CANNES for few days, for the ami
NAL might have bitten other dogs.

American Sunday School Union.

As a representative of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union, the
society whose aim is to distribute
Christian literature, and plant
schools where people are not regu-
larly in touch with church or
Sunday schools. I am pleased to
speak of my Geld-McLean county,
at least that part that I have seen.
Even though people are SO busy
and breaking outfits are changing
pasture into farmland, people en-
courage the establishment of
schools and take part in the carry
ing on Of them. Though [ am a
stranger in this county, and don't
always know where night will over
take me, I am welcomed into the
homes as an old friend would be.
With the help of the Lord and
the people I have reorganized
three schools and organized one,
in the past month. Now the three
reorganized have preaching servi-
ces once in two weeks,
I have been so busy with those
neighborhoods needing schools,
that l have not visited the older
existing schools.
I humbly urge those connected
with these four schools, and all
Christian workers interested, to
make them what they may be.
The schools are in Sverdrup, No.
3; Weller, No. 8; Basto and Han
cock, No. 5. Similar work is GO
ing on in other parts Of the state.
All interested in the A. S. S. u.
may help in the work either by
prayers, personal assistance in
their schools or contributions. The

sauatters Have Preference Right

SquatterS Have Preference Right
The commissioner of the gener-
al land Office has made a decision
of Importance to a number of
squatters on land bordering on
Ft. Berthold Indian reservation.
These settlers went upon the land
before it was surveyed, as it after
wards developed, and could not
obtain title. The land has now
been surveyed aud the survey ap-
proved and the land opened to the
country. The commissioners has
decided to allow the squatters 80
days preference right to settle on
the lands and this will enable
them to retain their homesteads
which have become valuable on
account Of the improvements.

Charged With Perjury.

Four brothers some time ago
took land under the homestead act
near Denhoff in Mclean county,
proved up, and then went to Ne
braska and made filing on $40
acres each under the desert land
act, making affidavit that they had
never used their homestead rights.
Inspector Berndt got wind of the
deal and worked up the case
against them with the result that
they we're arrested for perjury and
their case is before the U. S. grand
jury at Omaha. Register Jewell
of the Bismarck land Office and ex-
Register A. g. McGillivary were
subpoenaed to testify to the rec
ords in the local Office as to the en-
tries Of the men, and Mr.. Nc
Gillivray went south yesterday
Mr.. Jewell had planned to go at
the same time, but at the last
moment was wired not to come at
present, but will probably testify
at the trial. It is wonderful to
what extent some men will go in
the matter Of perjury in the effort
to secure more land than they are
legally entitled to. The scarcity
Of vacant land in this neighbor-
hood is a great temptation to many
to stretch the truth considerably
in an attempt to get piece Of il
without complying with the law,
and this case at Omaha should be
warning Bismarck Tribune.
