Errors Lost Game.

About as pretty game OF base
ball as has ever been played on
the local diamond was that be-
tween Odanah and Washburn last
Sunday afternoon. The game
was called at 3 o'clock and from
that time until the first half of
the ninth inning it was fast and
furious with the local team al
ways in the lead. The disaster
came in the ninth inning after
the crack Odanah team had been
handed eight successive ''goose
eggs" and the Washburn boys
had five scores to their credit.
A few punched hits and two or
three costly errors lost the game,
The first man up to bat got as
far as first when a pretty little
grounder was knocked to Oscar
and he fumbled letting in one
run. The next few men up to
bat made safe hits and before
the inning was over Odanah had
six men cross the home plate,
making the score six to five in
their favor. Washburn could
not do anything when their turn
came to bat and the visitors car
ried oft the hOnOrs.
Lien for the locals pitched a
fine game, allowing few hits of
any consequence. He was given
fine support by the rest of
the team until the disastrous
ninth inning when there was a
streak of bad luck all around,
nobody being able to get their
hands on the ball. Odanah
played a good game all the way
through.
A large crowd witnessed the
game and there was the sorest
bunch of fans in the state here
Sunday evening.

A City Team Football.

The local fans are now assured
of having a foot ball team in the
city this fall that they can bank
upon, and one that will make the
rest of the teams in the northern
part of the state sit up and take
notice. Coach William Hamilton
has been picking out his men
during the past week and he ex-
poets great results from the
team for the season which starts
soon. The trouble has always
been with the teams here in the
past that they have been too light
and this feature will be elimina-
ted with the team which is now
being gotten up They will be
as speedy as former teams and
with a little practice will be able
to hold their own with almost
any bunch. The following will
compose the lineup.
A. Beausoliel, Center; Hiram
Hanson, Guy Warden, guards;
George Ogren, Clarence Bluhm,
Tackle; Walter Lereaux, Ray
Ross, Ends: Artie Anderson,
quarterback; G. Wescott, full
back; Charles Gilli, Dan Robin
son, half backs.

buildings here received a bad

GRAND MARIAS SAFE
The Minnesota Town Will
Undoubtedly be
Spared.

Forest fires have been raging
all over northern Minnesota dur
ing the past week and for time
it looked as though many of the
smaller towns would be Destroy
ed. Grand Marias a town of
about 1900 people which was
threatened but it is now believed
to be out of danger. 1t will be
remembered that DR.. Hicks and
family and l.. Ell. Lien and family
live at Grand Marias. The
Times is in receipt of word from
Mrs. Hicks in which she states
that the town is still safe.
Sat. Sept. IL, 1908.
Mr.. EDITOR
For the sake of our friends in
Washburn would liked to say,
the outlook is more favorable.
Over 100 men in two shifts are
working night and day cutting
fire clearings and set back fires
Even now a strong wind from
the north would utterly destroy
the town, The fires have nearly
surrounded us, Our house is
the safest in town. A ship is in
the harbor.
Respectfully,
MRS. Hicks.

Il y
morning the third disasterous
explosion at the plant of the
E. [. DUPONT de Nemours
Powder company four miles
south of this city occurred
when twenty-five hundred
pounds of nitroglyceriue in
the neutralizing house No. 2
went up, blowing Gordan
Weber, the foreman of the
house to atoms, and badly in
juring Superintendent Frank
II. Beers, who was near by
at the rime. The shock OF
the explosion was felt very
plainly IN this city and nu-
merous windows we're broken
in as a result. Building rock
ed as if by an earthquake.
Immediately after the re-
port was heard here a special
train in charge of Conductor
Manning left for the plant
with doctors and others
aboard. When the train ar
rived there everything was
excitement and men were
rushing to and fro in an en-
deavor to ascertain if any OF
their comrades were hurt.
Others were rushing toward
home to tell their friends just
what had happened and that
they were safe.
The building that went up
was located on the south side
of the ravine in the powder
zone and all that is left to
marked the spot is a deep hole
in the ground, the building
and the baracade surrounding
it having been swept com
pletely away by the force.
Superintendent Beers was
found some distance away
from the spot and he was car
ried to a nearby building
where medicalassistanc was
rendered him and he was taken
on a special train to the hos
pital at Ashland where it is
reported that he will recover.
He was badly shocked and
was cut up considerable
about the face and body
besides having numerous
other injuries. Nothing was
found of Weber whs was in
the building at the time.
After the explosion fire
broke out in numerous places
in the ravine and the plant
fire department had to be
called out to put out the fires
before they could get in to-
ward the other buildings.
Nearly every other building
at the plant was damaged
more or less, the most damage
being done at the power plant
where the arches under the
boilers were thrown out of
place. In the ravine the gut
ter lines for a long distance
from the building were com.

against them.

on the team to show how absurd such
charges are.
Had we lost all three games In
Cleveland before going to Detroit no
such charges would ever have been
made. But we won in Cleveland and
lost in Detroit. and that fact seems to
have started trouble. We won In
Cleveland because things broke our
way. We had all the luck. We made
hits when they did the most good, and
our errors were never costly. Our
pitchers did wonderful work, and we
all seemed to be going fine.
