scattered hits, while the Quakers
punched their six on Giffen and took
the game to l. Steele opened trif1e

hit and Kruegers walk forced in the
score. 1t was the only time that
Steele couldn't do about as he pleased
with the visitors. There We're some
long hits off the pitcher after that,
but as to scores-nothing doing.
Giffen gave Steele his only walk
at the wrong time. Kensel followed it
by cutting one across the bag at first
that was good for three bases, and
Booth tried to sacrifice Kensel in on a
squeeze but smashed it SO hard that
the ball bounced over Browns head,
was DETECTED to hit Kruegers knee
and then rolled into foul territory, to
be good as a two-base hit. There
was no chance to field it. That made

Landlord Spencer needed the services
of night clerk, and engaged Ash

of the hotel business. Altho the safe
was locked Sunday evening, Ashworth
managed to successfully work the COM

Ashworths crime was probably COM

While there is no clue as to the Gil

it is thought he went south over the
Iowa Central, paying cash fares FOR
himself and young woman known as
Mrs. Ashworth. The south bound
thru train on the Central, due out Of

and would have given Ashworth time
to board it after sending the man for
the beer at $3.50.

LITIGATION WAS EXPENSIVE.
Judgment in Tuffree- Binford Case
Paid, But Costs Unsatisfied.

The judgment and interest in the
case of Joseph Tuffree VS.. E. f. Bin
ford ct al. were paid to the clerk of the
district court Saturday night That
litigation has been expensive is clearly
shown, not only to the defendants, who
were defeated, but to the plaintiff him
self. The original claim in the case
was for s234.50, for which judgment
was awarded in the second hear
ing in the supreme court. The
interest amounts to s21.50, making a
total paid in of 1855. The costs have
not been paid in full, because of a
motion that is pending to retax. There
are in the district court alone costs in
the sum of s136.70, aside from the costs
in the supreme court, and to say moth
ing of the attorneys fees. The case
was tried three times in the lower
court and twice in the supreme court.
The county will receive in costs $54.90.
