FIRE PLAYS HAVOC
THE CHOCTAW FEED MILL
TOTALLY DESTROYED

The mill was owned by the firm of
Craddock and Melton of this city, ex-
tensive grain dealers. At the time Of
the fire there were 5000 bushels Of
corn stored in the elevator which went
up in smoke. The company's safe
containing some valuable papers was
saved. It is said that the building
and contents were fully insured, A
claim adjuster will arrive in this city
today to look over the damage.
On account of the rapidity with
which the flames spread it is difficult
to establish the cause of the fire.
Parties who arrived on the scene soon
after the flames were first discerned
state that the fire originated in the
engine room. An instant later the
entire building was afire.

The elevator, mill and contents of
the Choctaw Flour and Feed Mill Co.
located just north of the Frisco de-
pot, went up in smoke last night The
total loss is estimated at about
$4,000.
The alarm was turned in at about
z O'Clock. Parties living nearby saw
the fire and smoke emerging from the
roof Of the building. They turned III
an alarm to fire headquarters and
then started for the blaze. BY the time
they arrived on the scene, the entire
main building was ablaze.
The fire department turneS out in
quick order but only arrived on the
scene in time to save a few outbuild-
ngs and a large quantity Of corn
dumped on the ground.

thing; perhaps new settlers who go on

The mere question of nice shade trees

People think that the citizens take pride

needs is shade trets. She needs her
streets kept cleaner and not like weed
patches, The trees will save the many

will prove an ornament that people envy.
They will advertise town. 1t would

THE
BALL AWAY
Butler Lads Delay Second Game of
Double Header for Rain
But Lost It.

Butler forfeited the second game
of the double header at Union park
Saturday afternoon before five in
nings had been played by deliberate
~ throwing the ball away.
Rain fell during the second con-
test, but both teams appeared will
ing to fight it out as long as they
could. Clarksburg led or but didn't
do anything until the third when a
man was brought in on three hits
and walk. Butler scored one each
in the first, second and third. With
that lead they were anxious to con-
tinue the game but the Clarksburg
boys were kicking about the rain.
In the next inning Bulls boys got up
and began pounding Jones all over
the park and after six runs had been
made the Butler boys howled about
the rain. They left the field and
protested against playing in the
shower !. but Umpire Wickenhofer
pulled his watch on them and in
about four minutes they reluctantly
returned to the field.
Seeing the game lost, and reaIiz-
ing the futility of trying it out the
nine innings. the visitors began to
throw the ball away. Ganiear was
on second and Grfbben on first. and
when Ganiear stole third Linneborn
dropped the ball and threw 1t out
into right field while Ganiear scored
and Gribben took second. Dick
Clark picked the ball up in right and
threw it over the grand stand. Then
Wickenhofer declared the game for
feited.
McMullen, a Moundsville boy.
who has been signed up by the
Clarksburg team for try out. TAX
ing McTighe's place, started work in
the game and held the visitors down
to two singles in the three innings.
He is big, athletic fellow and looks
to be heavy hitter. He seems to
have the speed on twirling.

GOES INTO
WRONG BOX
And Bobby Conoway is Declared Out
Mt Critical Tlme-ButIer
Takes Sundays Game.

Although Johnnie Lower pitched a
splendid game for Clarksburg Sun
day afternoon on Union park dia.
mond, the Butler boys were slick
enough to take advantage of situa-
lions and walked off with the game
Costly errors by the home boys and
the work of WilIets, who walked all
of the home teams heavy hitters at
pinch times and made all of the bats
men take nasty chances got the
game for Butler.
Butler scored one in the first on
a hit, a sacrifice, wild throw by
Lower and a passed ball by Gribben
which went under the grand stand.
Two errors by Wardman, stolen
base and hit by Nebinger brought
in another man in the fourth.
Clarksburg had a great chance to
score in the third but Bobby Como
way forgot what box he was batting
in and changed over, making the out
that retired the side. Lower got a
walk and was killed at second when
the Bull made a sacrifice. Clark
made a dandy two-bagger that hit
left field fence and then Conoway
got up to do things. Willets was
putting some wild ones down but
Bobby was taking chances on them.
Finally when he went up after a
foul strike, he got in the wrong box.
Another ball came down and Gal
braith gave him his base, but Will
lets and Harkins raised a howl that
he was out for changing his position.
After a squabble in which the
visitors left the field and started to
leave the grounds, Galbraith called
Conoway out and the game proceed
ed. The visitors were right about
the matter as the out should have
been called on the following rule
governing national association league
games:
"Batsman Is out when
"Rule 81, section 1O-If he steps
from one batsman's box to the other,
after the pitcher has taken his posi-
ton"
Clarksburg scored one in the
eighth by three hits by Conoway.
Simpson and Gribben and couldn't
do anything in the next. Two. or
three good chances were missed by
the home team to tie the score.

The Bridgeport boys secured a

out OF business in the third inning.
The Clarksburg boys had their OPP
ponents shut out until the sixth in
ming when Stealey threw wild to
first and man on third started
home and scored on a wild throw to
the plate by Weaver.
George Hughes and Stealey were
the battery for the Americans and
Hughes pitched the best game of the
