 AN ODD CASE-SOmetime ago the body of a stranger identified as H. K 1 Finch. was found in the railroad yards at Sheridan. California. and according to the Bisbec Miner a fuller identi- ficatiOn was made in a very peculiar way. There was little in the effetcs Of the dead man to show who he might have been but among the little things : = return card to box 372. "eu" Ariz.. the rest of the address being gone. The postmaster at Sheridan. looked over the Arizona directory and decided that the "ell" must be the final syllable cf Lowell so he addressed a letter to the postmaster at Lowell. relating the facts of the dead man and his search for some one who could tell who it was. The owner Of box 372 in Lowell was Mrs. F. F. Andrews. She was sent for and asked if she knew II. K. Finch replying promptly that he was her brother. She was then told his fate and the story of how the information was learned in Lowell was related Though the dead man was her brother she had never seen him as he was much older and had left home beforo her birth. For years she did not know his whereabouts but recently he had learned of her and written to her. IL was the answer to his letter by which he was identified.
 ECLIPSE OF THE AILSTARS- The baseball game yesterday was for the most part an enjoyable one by the grand stand but it was a bloody trag- edy for the Anstars. They lost theIr money. the gate receipts and the major part of their glory. though they are clinging to il yet with a shattered cable which they think is strong enough to bring it back within their firm grasp. It was not bad ball so much as buck ague or stage fright said Manager Rinderle last night of frrI saI they had never faced so large a grani stand before and the rubbering of such an aggregation of fans put them to the bad and made them nervous. One of their best players made a bad mess early in the first inning and the rest of them got buffaloed. The first two innings were a scandal in the eyes uf men and the Independents harvested eight runs before their wild career could be arrested. But after the In dependents were once stopped they were weighted down for good. After the second inning 1t was good bal neither side making more than a single run putting the final score to 1 for the Independents. Stanley Porter catcher and Francisco pitcher. for tine
 
 Hanscom catcher and l.. Quiros pitch CT were the Allstar battery. though Hanscom was playing out of position Manager Rinderle says his men are all right. except that their purse is lighter and they will certainly show some baseball from this time forward. Next Sunday they expect to play the Glendale team at Eastlake park and later on. every team in the world thar offers itself until the earth is wiped oli all opposition. Stories of a widely varying nature however were brought from the ball field who aver that thelc were runs made in nearly every inning by the Independents and that whatever the official score might be the actual score was much greater odds than given above.
