BROOK-NOOK RANCHO.

Carbonate, a well-known writer, has
the following excellent description of
the Brook-Nook Rancho of G. x. Lar
rabee, in recent issue of Trotter and
PAGER, which cannot fail to interest
readers of The Ranch:
"Brook-Nook Rancho is in the upper
Ruby Valley, on Ruby river, some
twenty-five miles from the county
seat, Virginia City, the first capital of
the territory, made famous by Alder
Gulch, the richest placer gulch ever
known, and the 'Vigilantes' of early
days, forty miles from Dillon, on the
o. S. L. Railroad, and eighteen miles
from Alder, on the Mp. Railroad, and
100 miles south of Butte, the greatest
mining camp that the world has ever
known.

acres of valley and foothills under

EASY FOR BRIDGEPORT.

Bridgeport, June 27.-Bridgeport won from Meriden, 9 to 3, yesterday at Newfield park, through its ability to bunch hits aided materially by the few but costly errors of its oppon- ents. Since the game was sharply fielded and was marked by consider able batting it proved an enjoyable one ..
 Waller pitched good ball all through the game although issuing a number of passes. His support was splendid SO that considering the bat ting ability of the home team there was very little doubt about their winning. ...
 Halligan of Meriden pitched con- sistent ball but the poor support giv- en him at the most critical time seemed to discourage him so that he weakened with the result that Bridgeport batted the ball hard. The score:

 Yesterday.

Torrington. June 27.-Coe Brass defeated Dsnbury, to 3, in the de- ciding game of a series of three contests on League park diamond yesterday afternoon. Burke was pitted against Wade and both twirl- CTS did clever work. each keeping the hits scattered. The exhibition was msrred by frequent kicking on the part of the visitors. Long drives were made by Wade. Sten- son. Smedick and Gilmartin.
 Dsnbury scored in the opening inning on free pass to Jung, Will keys sacrifice and Baldwin's wild heave She ;sllied again in the sixth on kelley's single and wade's slashinE triple to deep left center.

DOWN GO THE LEADERS.

Holyoke, June 27.-While each side secured the same number of hits yesterday, Hofyoke got after Evans in the early innings and be- gan scoring at the getaway. Hart ford was unable to find Schmidt un- til the seventh, when two doubles, 0'Leary's triple and three singles rolled up five runs and threw a big fright into the Holyoke camp. A hit by Justice and one by Swanson, who was sent in to bat for Evans in the ninth, gave Hartford an ad- ditional run. In this inning, Hart ford had the bases full and a long hit would have tied the score up but the big bingo was not forthcoming. Eyans's two passes, his hitting of two batsmen and the errors all helped in the Holyoke scoring. The score: R.H.E. Holyoke ...i12O23OO.-sI2I | Hartford 100000 0O5O1-612 2

THE DIAMOND
THE SQUEEZE PLAY
 THE REAL THING
Waterbury Worked It Twice Yes. terday and New Haven Lost
 -Other Games.

Again was there snap and life in the contest and again did Water- bury carry away the victory, al- though close to losing it, because Lefty" Bill Rogers was found an easy mark in the fourth inning and came near throwing the game away. Frank McPartlin, the old time twir- Ter, was sent up in the fifth and what MePartlin didn't do to the New Haven bunch was caution. He laughed at the Bone bunch as they tried to belt the leather and moved the players around the infiald just about where he expected the New Ravens might drive the ball. He took things easy, so easy in fact that George Bones outfit was in mysteries. The squeeze play was worked on two occasions and the cogs and wheels for the play were all well oiled and consequently everything terminated successfully Eddie Swander again distinguished himself by making a phenomenal throw to the plate and nipping Jer- ry Cornell. The later and several of his team mates objected but Charley Kenney waved them away. A snappy double play that brought the spectators to their feet by O'Hagan and Fitzpatrick was another feature that made the game interesting.
 Not one lone hit did they get off our new twirler, McPartlin, and he was one of the coolest propositions that ever stepped on a plate. Bill Miller had bad day of it in the field but everything was forgotten in the victory, which came our way. The score:

BRYAN AND GRAY
 ARE SUGGESTED
Nebraska Committeeman Says
 II Would Be Strong Ticket.

Lincoln, Neb.. June 27.-J. c. Dahl man, mayor of Omaha and Nebraska national committeeman, came from the home of Candidate Bryan discussing the desirability of Judge George Gray a3 candidate for vice president.
 T do not understand that Mir. Bryan has expressed any preference as to running mate." said Mir. Dahlman. T do not know that he will feel at liber- ty to do so even indirectly. What have to say merely recognizes what ev- cry Democrat must feel. Judge Gray stands so high and is so unobjectiona- ble frors any standpoint that nothing more need be said at present
 We also are alive to the fact that Governor Johnson would add strength to the ticket. but for obvious reasons his friends will not discuss the subject now. We have no special information as to whether he would accept. Few Democrats with ambition would care to refuse the honor. He certainly would make 1t reasonably certain that we will carry Minnesota. and he would gain many votes for us in the Missis- sippi valley" ly
 The Denver platform, has not yet been written, but 1t is believed that 1t will be very brief.
 The establishment of equal rights and the abolition of special privileges Is the overshadowing issue of the day. 1t is declared. Laws prohibiting the pass and the rebate are heartily ap- proved. There must be further legis. lation, state and national. making 1t unlawful for corporations to contrib ute to campaign funds and requiring publicity before election of all ind- vidual contributions above a reason able minimum.
 The centralization of power through judicial construction must be opposed. The constitutional authority of the general government for the prevention of monopoly must be exercised in the regulation of interstate commerce, but I've insist that federal remedies shall be added to and not substituted for state remedies" Laws must be enact cd which will compel foreign corpora. tions to submit their legal disputes to the courts of the states in which they do business. The election of United States senators by direct vote of the people is favored. Private monopoly must be made impossible. and the criminal law against trusts and trust magnates must be enforced.

 Pitcher Whitley of the Holyoke club has had his attorney place his case against the Holyoke management for salary this season before Secre- tary J. H. Farrell of the national board of arbitration.

 Poughkeepsie. N. Y.. June 27.-There is no favorite for the intercollegiate race which will be rowed on the beau tiful Hudson river course here this evening at o'clock. Chances seem to favor pretty evenly the crews of CO lumbia, Pennsylvania and Syracuse, all of which are in racing form and are known to have made fast time in their trials during practice. The coaches of Cornell and Wisconsin frankly admit that they do not regard their varsity eights as winners.
 The betting odds, which made Syra- cuse favorite at to 5. changed when the packers of Pennsylvania seized so eagerly upon the odds of to offered on that crew that the bookmakers marked up their quotation on the Quakers to the same as Syracuse. They did the same thing with Columbia after the latter had won the substi- ute race. ~
