Committee Report

The following is report of
the building committee of the
last Grand Jury, as filed with
the county clerk. Lack of space
would not permit of all reports
this week, but they will be pub
lished later:
To the Forman of the Grand
Jury:
Your Committee appointed on
buildings beg leave to report as
follows:
We have carefully examined
the court house and Jail and find
that while needed improvements
are going on to better the hold
ing and taking care of the pris-
oners, and which when completed
will no doubt fill a long felt want
in this particular; the court
house is badly in need of repair
and some changes that will tend
to the betterment of the work Of
the officers. In view of the fact
that our county finances are in a
good condition (and keeping in
view the welfare of the county,
and also the startling fact that
recommendations made by grand
juries in the past have been
passed up as so much waste
paper; we not only recommend,
but demand, and to the end that
our recommendations shall, will
and must be carried out, we
hereby appoint Frank Walker to
represent this committee and to
act in conjunction with the
board of county commissioners
in that the best interest of the
county will be subserved in the
carrying out Of our recommen.
dations.

Phoebe Loses
Close Game

At the Caliente ball grounds
last Sunday afternoon there was
pulled off the best game of ball
of the season. Our team left
here early Sunday morning with
all kinds of confidence and some
quantity of loose change and
with determination to win the
game. For six innings the score
keeper could not register a score
and in the first half of the sew
enth Phoebe scored one run; then
the real anxiety and excitement
began; the supporters of the
Caliente team that had bet their
coin, looked serious and even ad-
mitted their money was lost;
however, with good fielding and
splendid work of their pitcher
they got on the board.
Like all good games, there had
to be an event come up to
change the entire results, and
by some little excitement and
overthrows, fumblings, etc., the
Pioche boys let in two runs for
Caliente, that putting the visit
ing team two to the bad and the
game ended that way. Score,
Phoebe two; Caliente, four. 1t
may be said with great credit
that Pioche had pitcher that
was hit but twice III the entire
game. Chas. Bethel received
an ugly wound on the nose and
eye from a foul tip and was un-
able to finish the game.
A good representative crowd
went down with our boys to de-
feat, but all declare that for an
all around game it is best
they have witnessed this season
as the score indicates. Caliente
team will go to Las Vegas next
Sunday and arrangements are
being made to have Caliente
here the following Sunday.

Runaway
Kills Horse

Tuesday afternoon a four horse
teas with two wagons, started
down the Meadow Valley street
summit and the brake on the
lead wagon gave way forcing the
heavy loaded wagons on the
horses, and the driver was
thrown from his seat. The out
fit came to a stop near the resi-
dence of Assessor Roeder and
when the dust cleared away it
way found that one of the horses
received serious injuries and to
relieve sufferings it was shot.
The outfit was one of the Lund
Company and the loss is very
keenly felt, as horse flesh is
worth money these days and
hard to get at any price.

means, before going to press,
but are promised full particulars
for next week. If it is true
that this famous litigation is set
tied and the Yuba East ore shoot
is going to be actually sent to

lot for Phoebe.
