Manager Maloney of the Gilpin Coun-
ty Mines, has arranged with the Cigar
Makers of Denver for a game of ball
Sunday. The Cigar Makers is one of
the swiftest amateur teams in Colorado,
numbering among its players some of
the best men to be had in the state.
Some Of the players with the Cigar
Makers have played in Central City
mines. The Cigar Makers are all hard
hitters and foul ball shoots through
the air as though it was sent from a
cannon. If one of these fouls should hit
you, the services of an undertaken and
not physician would be necessary. To
be free from danger it is advisable that
all the fans and their friends occupy
seats in the grand stand.

came down End High street in river.
The mouth of the storm fume on End

into the back yards of Mr.. Shuck's and
Mr.. Davis houses. Both houses suffer-
ed from the flood but Mr.. Davis was

Pickpockets got in their work on the
marshal of Idaho Springs while he was
in attendance at the Democratic con-

relieved of his pocketbook, but found
consolation in the fact that there was
nothing in it. When marshal from a

An individual residing in the Pine
Creek section was arraigned before JUS
tice Mccullough yesterday and fined $40
and cost for misusing horse. Accord
ing to the testimony adduced at the
hearing, the man had ridden the horse
to place near the Merz ranch, where
the animal became i'll of lumbago and
fell by the roadside. This was Satur-
day evening and the animal was left in
a sickly and emaciated condition, unable
to arise, until Monday morning when
Marshal Launder was notified and end
ed the horses suffering with a bullet.
No attention or food had been given the
horse during Sunday or Monday morn
ing. To neglect an animal in this man.
ner, not even providing shelter in a
heavy rain storm or giving it a drink, is
a most inhuman act and the person gull
ty of such neglect is deserving of pun
ishment. Only the minimum fine was
imposed in this instance, but let it serve
as a warning to others that all cruelty
to animals must cease or the Humane
society will vigorously prosecute every
case that is brought to it's attention.

Former Bank Man Arrested

Pittsburg,' Pa, June 25.-T. w.
Tiers, former discount clerk OF the
First National bank of this city, was
arrested late today on an information
made by National Bank Examiner
VIVA. L. Folds, charging him with
abstraction of about $4,000 of the
banks funds.
Tiers furnished bail in the sum OF
$4,000 for a hearing.
All the money was taken from
the bank from Feb 8, 1906, to July
26, 1906. Shortly after that time
the bank officials learned of the ir-
regularities and dismissed Tiers. He
made partial restitution and tpTned
over to the bank certain collateral
upon which it is stated to-day. the
institution hope to realize. Nothing
was said of the matter at the time
and the bank charged off the shortage
from the surplus.
Recently, however, the many bank
defalcations occurring in this vicinity
resulted in orders being received
from Washington, it is said to pros
ecute all such cases and the 1nfor-
nation against Tiers was made.
Since leaving the employ OF the
bank Tiers has been engaged in the
real estate business.

PRETTY GIRL RUNS FARM.
Daughter of Preacher Rakes Hay
While Father is in Prison

Richmond, Va, June 22.-Miss
Elizabeth Hargrave, since the incar-
ceration of her father, the Rev. Jas.
T. Hargrave, the unfrocked Episcopal
clergyman, who was recently convict
ed in the Federal courts for using
the mails for purposes OF fraud, has
become sole manager of the estate,
"Cedarhurst Lodge" in Hanover
County.
The evidences are that the pretty
nineteen-year-old girl is genius in
the business of operating farms. She
appears also to know thing or two
about the law, which information she
is using to advantage in her trials
with the county officers.
Miss Hargrave came to the city
to-day for the purpose of petitioning
for an injunction to prevent the Of
ficers from seizing the property of
her father while he is prisoner. The
law is to the effect that a prisoner
in the penitentiary shall not be liable
to civil suits. The question is whether
or not the county officers are justi-
fed in the seizures, since Hargrave
is serving a term in the county Jail.
There's nothing to it. I can't run
farm on air and water" said Miss
Hargrave this morning. when they
seize everything that comes to me l
can't get on. Why, they even dare to
take my own things-my mail,
freight, and express packages, and
everything. They have levied on
everything but the place, and that Is
so fixed that they can't get at 1t. II
they keep pushing me, am going to
take out the homestead exemption.
don't suppose they can get around
that.
"The hardest luck of ALL" she con-
tinued, slightly blushing, "is that l
have to rake the hay. Several days
ago had field all plowed up ready
for planting. The seeds were at the
station, but when sent for them the
information came back to me that
they had-an been levied on"
Miss Hargrave was neatly attired
in princess gown Of striped gray.
She wore a merry Widow" hat,
trimmed in pink feathers and ribbon,
with a big-headed hat pin stuck
through the middle of it. Her long
brown gloves swung Imply across
her right arm. Her appearance was
that Of care free maiden, who had
never known the meaning of trouble.
'''I'll run that farm or die," she ex-
claimed, as she left to catch her
train, having failed in her mission
because of the absence of Judge Ed
mund Waddill from the city. I'm
a girl they can't fool: I'm going
back to Hanover to make hay. It's
the .Maude Muller game for me, all
right. There are FIVE men on the
place at work. to-day. I guess If
they were girls, the county officers
would try to seize them. It's all
very awful, but am not starving. :"
