Phoebe and
Caliente Play
Phoebe Carried off the Small
End, But Gave Caliente
Hard Run.

The third game of baseball be.
tween Caliente and Phoebe, play
ed at the former town, ended in
quite drubbing for the local
boys. The score of II to 6
does not at all give an idea of
the quality of the game played,
for thirteen of the seventeen
runs made by Caliente were tai
lied in the first two innings.
Fitzpatrick was placed in the
box for Phoebe at the commence
ment of the game, and pitched
for the first and second inning.
In the third Manley handled the
sphere for Phoebe, and did so in
a mastery fashion, allowing but
four runs in the remaining seven
innings, and played his position
every minute of the game. He
also received good support after
a change in positions had been
made. Betz was brought in from
the field and placed on second
base, and played good ball, as
did Pearson behind the bat.
Those who had the pleasure of |
witnessing the game state that
Jaliente has a strong aggrega-
ion. White pitched a clever

ain had good control over the
layers, and directed their move

BELLE FOURCHE SHIPS
64,OOO HEAD OF CATTLE

Belle Fourche s. D.. Dec. H.-Cattle
shipments from this point for the sea-
son Of 1907 are practically over, al
though few cars win straggle out
from now on to the first OF the
coming year.
Contrary to expectations, the season
has been a particularly successful one.
Notwithstanding the sudden drop in the
price of cattle which came with the
first approach of money stringenCy
and Curtailed shipments According to
the estimates of both the Northwestern
railroad and cattlemen, something like
$4,000 head Of stock We're shipped from
this point this year
Belle Fourche has always had the
reputation of being the largest single
cattle shipping point in the world, but
records of other localities win probably
equal it this year In all about l,S00
cars Of cattle, sheep and horses were
sent from here TO eastern markets,
the majority being cattle for beef pur-
poses. Most of il went to Omaha and
Chicago where in former years Sioux
City got large share. Returns show
that previous TO the slump on the mar
ket steers this year brought from s.
TO so per head net over last years
prices and resulted in many more cat
tie being shipped than was expected
There are still more cattle on the
range for the winter than last year ana
these will be ready for shipment in

His father, Augustus Prentice, was

twenty-five years ago. In 1905 the elder
Prentice died, and the management Of
the estate devolyed upon the son. who

vous temperament, the sudden strain of
so great business responsibility began
to have an effect upon him.
His wife, who was Maud Fowler Bre-
wort, urged him to get away from the
new business cares, but he insisted that
the estate demanded constant atten-
tion. and, although his intimate friends
saw that his mind was giving way.

who was kidnapped last Saturday from

Momenoe, Ill. A man and woman with
her were arrested
They gave the names OF Mr.. and
Mrs William Jones, and say they were
on their way from Pennsylvania TO Mis-
souri, where they intended settling.
They refuse TO discuss the kidnapping
The child declares they picked her up
on the streets of Chicago, put her In a
wagon and drove away. She acknowl-
edged her name, and said she had been
travelling under the name Of Jones. Ac-
cordng to her story, she escaped once
while on the road between Kankakee
and Chicago, but was recaptured.
The child seemingly has been neg
lected since she was stolen and her APP
pearance indicated that in all that
time she has gone without washing.
