Phoebe Is
Defeated Twice
Score of Is to l3 Result of
Each Game Played Sat
urday and Sunday

Phoebe was again defeated by
Caliente in the baseball games
played Saturday and Sunday
last. The score in each game
stood Is to 18 in favor of the
visiting team.
The game Saturday was played
under most unfavorable weather
conditions and not as good an
exhibition was expected, as
otherwise would have been the
case. Seven innings constituted
this game, and Phoebe was show
ing up strong at the end of the
seventh. Had the nine innings
been played it is not at all I'M
likely that the score would have
been different.
In the game played Sunday,
however, we must, in justice to
the Caliente team, acknowledge
that they played the better ball.
Phoebe can boast of better indi-
vidual players in some positions,
but lack the team work that is
displayed by Caliente, which is
the result of practice. Houston
for the local team, pitched a
great game and had the support
been up to the standard, would
have held Caliente down to a
very few runs. Ridd on second,
played his usual game and Bowl
ing covered third in good shape.
Some of the other boys on the
Phoebe team did not play up to
their usual standard. Great
credit is due Pierson for the
game he played behind the bat.
He received an injury to his
hand Saturday, which was very
painful, but gamely stuck to his
position during both games.
Shanahan of the Caliente team
is a wonder in the field and the
manner in which he handled the
long flies driven out is in a large
measure due to the defeat of the
local team.

Services Held
Last Monday
Large Congregation Hears
Bishop Robinson
Preach.

Monday last, Phoebe was IA
vored by a visit from the Ri.
Rev. Henry D. Robinson, Bishop
of Nevada. Confirmation SER
vices were conducted by the
bishop, Monday evening at the
court house. The court room,
through the efforts of F. w.
Dickle Whose guest Bishop Rob-
inson was while in Pioche) was
beautifully decorated, present
ing one of the most pleasing APP
pearances we have ever seen it.
The sermon preached by the
bishop was a strong and force
full one, carrying much food for
sober deliberation and thought
to those whose pleasure it was
to be present. In the services
Rev. Harry Gray of Las Vegas,
acted as chaplain, and good mu-
sic was dispensed by the choir.
This is the first visit we have
received from a bishop in more
than a year. and many were the
invitations extended to Bishop
Robinson to visit US again with
in a short while, which he
promised to do should conditions
permit, probably about the mid
die of September. Bishop Rob
inson is a scholarly man of pleas
ing appearance, and we hope
that he may find it convenient
to call at Phoebe at short inter.
walls, where the residents will be
more than pleased to greet him.

IT WAS ALL OVER
 4 FIVE DOLLAR CALF.

Squire Graves Was exceeding lv busy all day Saturday trying a "calf case which came to his court from the country southeast of Springdale. The parties te the suit were L. (. knoles, A. C. Watson and l. NJ. Robinson. Some time ago Watson bought a calf from Robinson. and knoles, thinking the calf was one which had recently strayed from his place, had papers issued to re- plevin same.
 Sixteen witnesses were exam incd, and the evidence showed that knoles and Robinson both owned calves of about the same age and general appearance, but the jury doubtless thought that Robinson sold his own calf in- stead of knoles and decided in hls favor. The jury was com posed of Roe Phillips, Ben Lind ley, K. X. Anderson, John Rob- inson. A. E. Morris and $. W. Graham. H. A. Dinsmore and Guy Howard appeared for knoles and John Hayes for Watson and Robinson.
 The costs in the case amounted to S30.75, and as the calf was sold for only $500 at the start, it can be seen that there Is not much money in lawing-except for the lawyers.

CONFISCATED BY
 THE GOVERNMENT.

News readers will remember an item printed i'll this paper several weeks ago relative to some cann- ed goods packed in Springdale by C. H. Godfrey X Son, of Ben- ton Harbor, Mich, which were seized by the United States au- thorities in Kansas City on the ground that they We're packed contrary to the pure food law. The following from Fridays Kansas City Star shows the se- quel:
 One hundred cases of canned apples and 172 cases of canned blaekberries, now in the possess ion of the Ridenour-Baker Gro- cery Company, were ordered sold by the United States marshal by Judge Smith MePherson in the federal court this morning. The court ruled that the canned fruit was mislabeled according to the provisions of the pure food law.
 The fruit was packed by C. H.. Godfrey x Son of Benton Harbor, Mich. The apples and berries were grown near Springdale, Ark. but the labels indicated, so the court held, that the fruit was grown in Michigan. The cann- ed fruit was seized on informa- ton filed by the United States district attorney.

NINE CALVES WITHIN
 ONE YEAR.

Readers of this paper will re- member an item printed some months ago of a COW owned by Rube Lively near Harmon giving birth to six calves. Although the calves were we'll formed and perfect in every way, they all died. On last Sunday the same COW gave birth to three calves, making total of nine inside of twelve months. Of the trio born Sunday one died. We have yet to hear of a COW that snrpasses the record of this one.

REPORT OF OAK
 GROVE INSTITUTE

Pursuant to previous arrange ments the District institute con- vened at Oak Grove Oct. 10, 1908.
 Owing to the fact that neither party assigned to the discussion of compulsory education were present, that number was omit ted. MT. Clark, principal of the local school, presented his meth cd of teaching the subject of Grammar, which was both prac- tically and technically drawn out and fully discussed by the teach ers.ZL. $. Weleh, principal at Sonora, presented in a most prac- tical manner his method of con- ducting recitation in l.. s. His tory, which he did by forming a class of the seventh grace pupils from the local and Elm Springs schools and the teachers present. The principle of cause and effect was clearly demonstrated by this recitation.
 County Superintendency and its advantages over our present system was presented by J. B. Tillman, who explained the law creating the office of County Su- perintendent and advanced his ideas why this measure should be adopted by the electors next May. l.. $. Welch and Willis Clark spoke in favor of county superin- tendency.
 The literary program rendered by the Oak Grove school was en- joved by all present and reflected credit upon the school.
 Dinner? Well. yes. One of those old fashioned, sociable kind where every body eat together. A table was arranged along the north side of the school building and loaded down with good things to eat which were reduced in quantity but not i'll quality.
 When the time came for deeid- ing the next place of meeting of the Institute Harmon and Sonora were nominated. Harmon reeeiv- ing a majority vote, the Institute will convene at that place Oct. 51st, 1908.
 Everyone seemed to enjoy the meeting and we hope that we may have many more such meet ings ere the school year closes.

LOTS OF ELECTRIC
 ROADS TALKED OF.

In addition to the parties who have been in this section for some time figuring on an inter-urban railway from Sloan Springs to Fayetteville, and thence to Huntsville, in Madison County, Geo. F. Proper, of Boise, Idaho, and o. J. Johnson have entered the field, and they propose much more extensive road than the other promoters. They figure on road that will connect Pea Ridge, Sulphur Springs, Gentry, Gravette, Decatur, $ l 0 m Springs, Tontitown, Springdale, Fayetteville, Huntsvi He and Rogers, making belt line. They estimate that the proposed road would cost about SIS, COG per mile equipped and ready for business. Such a road would certainly be great help for this section. The News knows noth- ing about the responsibility of the gentlemen back of the pro- posed enterprise, but 1t IS said that Mr. Proper has just recent ly completed an electric road in Minnesota. If they mean busi- ness Springdale people are ready to lend every encouragement pos sible to the enterprise.
 In addition to the above other parties are figuring on an cleo tric line from Rogers to Benton vile, the power at the start to be furnished by the electric plants at the two towns. In speaking of the matter the Rogers Demo- crat says:
 A party of Joplin men compos- ed of Messrs. Cummings, Koer- her and Waller, were in Rogers yesterday and announced their in- tention of asking the city council at its next meeting to grant them a franchise for an electric rail- road. The proposed road would be built from Rogers to Benton vile with the intention of ultl- mately extending 1t north to Missouri points. They have not decided on just what street they will wish to enter Rogers but that will of course have to be settled before the franchise IS granted. They do not ask an exclusive franchise of the city.
