Randall, of Newton, on an order of
the district court. Sheriff Hutson
served the warrant on Randall, and the
latter has promised to satisfy the costs

ing at Laurel, was indicted and releas-
ed on $500 bonds. His bondsnen later

a fine of $500 and costs, the latter
amounting to about SIS, and the cash
bond was appropriated by the clerk to
satisfy the fine. The costs, however.
have never been paid, and as Randall
has moved from the county the court
instructed that the clerk issue war
rant In case the costs are not paid
the court has ordered Jail sentence OF
ninety-five days to be imposed.

a hearse up before the gate at the ball
park yesterday and peered over the
fence. 1t must never happen again,
for In the next inning Marshalltown

the kibosh on the Quakers. Two fluke
home runs were concerned. With one,
Harris got the lead In the first, hitting
to Booth The ball took bad bound
before 1t reached the center fielder and
went right over his head, while Harris
completed the circuit.
In the third the Brownies made an
other, and Booths single, which fol-
lowed Kensel,s three Dagger, scored
two Quakers, tying the score. Patter-
son and Mite, in the sixth, with dou-
BILE steal, won the game.
But Kruger had a safe one that
Coates didn't look for and sent short
fly in the eighth that scored Corlill
just after the hearse had passed. The
ninth and the game again a tie. Thorn
as was a safe drive to right field.
Luke sent one to Benson, but Kensel
pulled in Bensons throw out, and the
ball went to right field with men on
first and third. Harris found only air,
but Williams found the ball, and lined
low-roller at Benson. who let it thru
his legs, a seeming easy chance. Then
did Williams race around all the sacks.
for the ball lost itself in the grass, at
ter making monkeys of the Quakers.
