and one white hose. They arrested
him for indecent exposure, and fined
him four dollars. The next illustrious
prisoner was no less a parsonage than
Sheriff Owens. the high Official of the
county.
He submitted to arrest without
any trouble, and that didn't suit the
policemen at all. They wanted some
body to rough house them. They
found some of them.
A keg Of beer was driven up to
third base and game was called.
Everybody who reached third base
! got glass of the delicious, foaming
beverage. He deserved it.
The batteries were Chief of Police
Malley in the box and Letson Balliett
as backstop for the Eagles, and Wal
ter Agnew, twirler, and Davy Croc-
kett, backstop, for the Elks.
Umpire, Pudgy Grimes.
The Tonopah band began to play,
and the first ball went over the plate,
while everybody held his breath and
the policemen looked for new victims.
A mighty shout went up from the
multitude. Balliett had hit the ball.
They cheered him all the way down
to first. Billy Douglass, playing first
for the Elks, resented the arrival of
Balliett, declaring that he was hold
ing down first bag, and that no one
else should keep it with him. Bal
lett said all right and went to sec
ond. Ed. Malley was accorded an
ovation as he grasped the willow and
prepared to knock Aggie out of the
box. Aggie gave him an easy one,
and Ed nearly broke his back trying
4 to hit it. There was a hole in the
bat and the ball went right through
1t. No third base for Edwardo
Malley o. He famed and the band
| played the dead march from Saul
Hayward, big Jim, raped out a
single and then Cashier Cushman of
the State Bank created a diversion
by having his horse run away. The
police were after him and the pros
poets of dollar fine did not look
good to him, so he skeedadled.
Wen get him yet, swore the po-
licemen, and the game went on.
When the Elks went to the bat,
the Eagles had two runs and the herd
lowered its antlers and went after
Malley. They found him and pro-
ceeded to bat him all over the lot.
They made five runs while the band
played rag time.
A great yell went up from left
field. The myrmidions of the law
had discovered Jack Salsberry, the
Fcopper king of Ubehebe, in his auto
mobile Five of them jumped on
him and dragged him out of the ma
chine. He swore that If they wanted
him they would have to carry him.
The policemen were very accommo-
dating; they carried him and landed
him in the calaboose. When he was
taken before the kangaroo court,
there were five judges sitting on the
bench, and each one took a shot at
him, filming him twenty dollars each.
| The king of the Ubehebe had only
a check for hundred dollars on him
and they said that that would do,
and then they pinned tag on him,

The game was in the throes of the
second inning, with the Elks still in
the lead, when the police spotted Don
Gillies in his machine. Jack McSor-
ley crawled up behind him in the
machine and zeb Kendall and Ed.
i Wilson helped him down out of the
Kerosene cart.
You're arrested" they told him.
"All right" responded Mr.. Gillies,
4 quietly, as he stepped to the ground.
Mr.. Gillies used to play football at
Princeton and was half-back for the
Butte team, when they were sweep
ing everything before them. In a
moment Wilson was up in the air;
Zeb Kendall was backing off toward
right field, with his six feet four
height doubled in two, and McSorley
and Gillies went to the dust. Every
body piled on and in a few moments
there was disturbance of the pile
and McSorley and Wilson again went
i flying, while Zeb whistled for more
police. Mr.. Giliies was finally land
ed in the jailhouse, and what the
| judges did to him for resisting ths

the money.

another who made the police carr
their money. He got away from then
three times and then they finally
