Miss Mary Sheriff Has About Com
pleted Her Difficult task.

Miss Mary Sheriff, the professional
librarian, of Helena, has about finish
ed her work of cataloguing and label
ing the books in the Lewistown H.
brary, and they will be ready for trans
ferring to the Carnegie building next
week. Miss Sheriff has been assisted
in her work by Archie Farnum, who
will be in charge when the library
re-opens. There will be no printed
catalogues, as the open shelf system
will prevail in the library, rendering
catalogue unnecessary in a small
institution like ours.
Miss Sheriff has performed her task
rapidly and thoroughly. and thanks
to her efforts, the library will start
off in the best possible shape when
it opens next month in the Carnegie
library.

LEWISTOWN
WINS GAME
Local Team Wins an Easy Victory
Over Kendall in the Return
Game of Base Ball.
SCORE is FOURTEEN TO FOUR
Miners Took a Balloon Ascension in
the Fifth and Lost All Chance
Of Winning.

The Kendall ball players, who won
money and glory here on the Fourth,
went down to defeat Sunday after CIV
ing brilliant exhibition of fast play
ing for four innings. Skibe and Pei
lican formed the battery for the Wis.
itors, and during the first four inn
ings did fine work and received excel
lent support. Ed. Taylor and Ed. Baker
made up the Lewistown's battery, and
Taylor pitched one of the best games
seen here this season. Taylor sus-
tanned his reputation as one of the
headiest players in this section and
although he dropped an easy fly, it
did not affect the score, and the To-
cal teams victory was due more to his
sustained work than to anything else,
although he was supported in splendid
style all the way through. Don Waite,
who was on first, played nice game,
and Butler at short played without
an error. The fielding of Carleton was
brilliant. He took in everything that
came his way and caught one high
ny while running in at full speed. In
addition to the fine individual plays,
the locals played as team, and SEEM
ed to work together better than in
any game this season.
The Balloon Goes Up.
The contest for four innings was
enc to delight the heart of the true
IAN. the score at the end standing 4
to in favor of Kendall. At the end
OF the third it commenced to rain.
and the game was called for half an
hour. On resuming, both teams drew
goose eggs for an inning, and then
the grand balloon ascension occurred.
Free hitting by Lewistown and a ser.
les OF wild throws by Kendall let eight
local men in. The wet grounds may
have had something to do with it,
but the miners simply went to pieces.
Every member of the team appeared
to be anxious to do something to aid
the general decentralization along, and
it was simply procession around the
bases. At the end of the fifth, the
score stood II to in favor of Lewis
town. and Kendall never got another
look in. Lewistown piled up two more
runs in the seventh and one in the
eighth, the score at the end standing
IA to in favor of the locals.
The attendance was large, and the
crowd. which scattered when the storm
came up, returned to witness the finish.

Dr. A. Weinberg, a prominent opti

and who disappeared from his home
some time ago and had not been
heard from until Friday last when in
letter dated at London, England
and addressed to relatives at Fair

had deserted only a few days be.

without detection.
DR.. Weinburg, who is a man of
large means, was called to San Fran
cisco, Cal, only few days before
the earthquake in that city and when
weeks had passed and no word from
him had reached his relatives he
was given up as one of those who
persisted in that terrible disaster, but

covered that he had never served
his allotted term in the army. They
also found that he had never taken
the trouble to properly attend to the

was at once drafted into the army
service.
He watched every chance for es.

weeks he eluded his superiors and
deserted, reaching London only few
days later, from where he informed
his relatives Of his whereabouts. 1t
is thought that he is now on his way
