ORANGE
GIRL SHOOTS BIG
RATHER IN TENT
Miss Lillian Simpson Keeps
Nerve and Is Bravely Aided
by Miss Florence Rice.
Especial to THE Evening Star. ]

BUDD'S LAKE, July 1.-Two young
women from Orap ge. who are camping
here, had an exciting experience late
yesterday afternoon, when. on returning
from a fishing trip, they found a huge
rattlesnake in possession of their tent.
Miss Lillian Simpson and Miss Florence
Rice, both popular members of the
summer colony here, when they found
the reptile did not set unduly fright
ened. Miss Simpson cautiously made
her way to where a trusty rifle re-
posed with other camp equipment with
out arousing the rather. Then she mo-
tioned to Miss Rice to raise the tent
flap, s othat she could get a better view
of their deadly and umwelcome visitor,
and, with a well directed shot, killed 1t.
The snake was dragged from the ten
and skinned and today the ornament In
front of the young women's tent Is a
trophy of their nerve.

ELkS LOCK HORNS
N GAME THEY
CALL BASEBALL
Great Contest by "Best Peo-
plerOn Earth" at Orange
Valley.

Members of the Orange Lodge Of
Elks took some lessons In baseball
playing yesterday afternoon from the
Paterson Lodge at the Orange Valley
grounds. The Orange players scored
three runs in seven innings, while the
Paterson visitors scored 16. The only
soreness that was shown during the
day was after the game, but it was
physical.
During the game there was some
kicking by reason of some decisions of
the umpires. There were two of these
officials. acting in alternate innings, so
allegations of unfairness. Deputy
tCounty Physician DIR. Samuel A. Muta,
of the Orange Lodge, was the home
official. and DR.. w. S. H. Martin, of
Paterson. was the other. 1t was thought
at some stages of the game that
County Physician Elliott might v
to be called on to perform autopsies
on the umpires, but the fraternity of
the brotherhood prevented indulgence
in any hostflities, and all causes for an
ger were forgotten when the two herds
of Elks gathered in a joint social ses-
sion at the home of the Orange Lodge
following the game.
About a Thousand persons gathered
at the Orange Valley Oval to see the
game From Paterson came about
$50 Elks, including many prominent
residents of that city, silk manufac-
turers and business men of other lines.
About eighty of them came in auto
mobiles and the others in trains and
trolley cars.
They let the Orange men do the root
ing, for right from the beginning of
the game the Paterson players went
to the front and continued forging
ahead all the time. The Orange team,
however, got onto Jack Fftzgerald's
curves in the third inning and got
three men around the diamond. This
was the only time the home players
were allowed to score. They had the
consolation of knowing, however, that
several of the Paterson players were
old-time players who retain their abil-
ity to WELD the big stick. The score
was as follows.
Paterson ..........2 5 2 0 8 4 Ole
Orange ............0 0 8 0 0 0 O.

The first statewide primary cleo
tion to be held in the state of Iowa
is thing of the past. On account of
the difficulties experienced in count
ing the votes the returns have come
in very slowly. and up to the hour of
going to press it is impossible to give
absolutely correct figures. However.
enough is known to determine the
candidates who have carried the
primaries.
Reports from WinHeshiek county
and over the entire state show that
the vote for Cummins is way below
the estimates of the Cummins ring.
and the vote for Allison runs even
with and in many cases above the
estimates of his friends throughout
the state. In Winneshiek county the
ridiculous claims of the Oummins
ring that he would carry the county
three or four to one have fallen fat.
His majority is reduced from about
900 two years ago to 1893, and in the
city of DEBORAH to l07, Had it not
been for the democrats who voted for
Cummins in the CITY of DEBORAH. Al
lison would have carried it. and we
are not so sure but this is true of the
