A fragment of the Extra base ball
team went down to Brayton yester-
day to play game with club there,
and as this was the third time these
mines had met this season they fairly
tore UP the earth in their endeavor to
win. The Brayton boys finally coming
off victorious with the Extra boys
scalp dangling at their belt by the
score of nine to six. The Extra club
has the reputation of playing pretty
fast game but this time the Brayton
boys played just little faster than
they did. Percy Freeman was in the
box for Brayton, with Hunter Perry
at the receiving end, and Erb and
Kreamer served in like capacity for
Extra. You just wait until Captain
Menefee gets up from his bed
of sickness, the rest of our old players
get back into the harness and then
we'll show you how the national
game is played. The Extra Concert
Band went down to cheer the boys up
but got there just in time to see the
final inning, promptly unlimbered
and played the Dead March of Saul
which put the large audience in good
humor and they all went up town
feeling good, particularly the Brayton
ball players and their friends.

ner, of Clarke county, Va. met
death Tuesday night in fire which
destroyed small building on the
Lucas farm, between Shepherostown
and Duf1ields, which he occupied as a
residence. The supposition is that
Mr.. Buckner, who lived alone, was
overcomesby the smoke and SO dazed
that he was unable to escape from the
burning building.
Two of Mr.. Buckner S sisters, who
make their home near the scene Of the
fire, visited their brother aud sat with
him until about II, o'clock, and when
they left they advised him to move
some kindling wood that was lying
under the stove, and it is thought that
mfr. Buckner. who was tired and
sleepy, failed to take their advice,
and laid down on the bed and fell
asleep.

the scene of the fire. discovered the
smoldering ruins and charred body al
