sterlings vs.. Mo. Valley.

Mo. Valley is a sympathetic
burg, but Nicely has not been
here long enough to realize the
fact for after trimming the
Sterling team in Takamah
Nebr. yesterday he was not
satisfied and findinr > them badly
crippled here by the loss Of two
pitchers, a catcher and third
base man he took advantage of
their condition and in the first
eight innings gave them only
two hits and struck out twelve
Of their men.
In the first two innings the
men came to bat for each team
but in the third Rowe's only
error gave Fitzgerald (the COM
edlsn) his life at first, the next
man struck out and Cramer
drew a pass, then after Barr
was thrown cut at first McGug-
an hit safe to center bringing
il the two runs, Tacy retired
the side by catching Leeney's
fly. But good fortune was
more than McGugan could
stand and by his wildness he
hit Nicely and passed Allstrand,
Bertelson then poled the first
hit for Mo. Valley scoring
Nicely, Reed struck out and
P.pher grounded to the pitcher
who made a poor throw to the
plate and Allstrand scored.
Tacey hit to the left scoring
Bertelson but Pipher was
caught at third. Rowe went
to first on a tumble. Tacey
stole third, Stanfeld walked
filling the bases but Canfields
grounder to short retired the
Valley after having batted
around.
Mo. Valley scored three runs
again in the fifth on one hit,
four walks and three errors.
In the sixth the first three men
to bat drew singles off the new
pitcher and scored two runs.
In the eighth Rowe poled the
longest hit of the game but
was caught cutting first and
lost his chance of getting to
second. Nicely loosened up in
the ninth after one man was
down. McGawan hit to ALL
strand and went to second on
his muff. The comedian still
determined to win hit soft to
center scoring McGawan and
went to second on Cramers hit.
Then with two down Nicely
struck out Barr for the third
time.

Young Man Disappears

Richard Dare, night pump
man at the local railroad pump
ing station disappeared last Sat
urday evening. He received
his pay Thursday and paid up
all his bills around town and at
his boarding house, at M. Kir-
Inns. Saturday evening he
went to work at the usual hour
but at a later time some of the
employees had occasion to go to
the pumping plant and found
no one there. An investigation
showed that the young mans
'Ianch was there, partly eaten,
/ but he was not around. It was
not until yesterday that much
attention was given the matter
and the local officials have been
working on the case, but with
out result. He left all of his
good clothes at the boarding
house, among, them q tailor
ma lie suit he had never worn.
There is nothing to account fer
his absence and no theories
have been advanced. Dare has
been around the Valley for per-
haps a year and is thought to
be about 26 years of age.

Mrs. B. F. Roberts Commits
Suicide.

Mrs. B. F. Roberts Commits
Suicide.
Dunlap, Ia, Aug. 24.-The
people of this community were
immeasurably shocked this
morning to learn that Mrs.
Roberts, wife of Hon. B. F.
Roberts, had committed suicide
at an early hour this morning
by drowning herself in the
pond a few rods from the beau
tiful country home two and a
half miles from town. For
several weeks the deceased had
been in a serious nervous state,
and this caused temporary de-
rangement of the mind, which
ended in her self destruction.
The home life of Mr.. and Mrs.
Roberts had always been ideal,
and surrounded with every
comfort.
The husband missed his wife
about 6 o'clock in the morning
and hurriedly dressing institut-
ed a search for her. About to
give up in despair, he went to
the pond and was Mortified to
find his wife's shoes on the
platform. The water was not
very deep at this point and the
body was found by the husband
at the end of the second plat
form, about ten feet from the
bank. Every possible effort
was made toward resuscitation,
but to no avail, as the body had
been in the water some time.
Mrs. Roberts maiden name
was Ellen Rogers, and she was
born June 3, 1916, near Jackson
Mich. She removed with her
parents to Illinois, later to the
eastern part of Iowa, and to
Dunlap in 1861. She taught
school in Harrison and Craw-
ford counties until the close Of
the war of the rebellion. On
March 26, 1866, she was united
in marriage to Hon. B. F.
Roberts. Two children were
born Miss Maria Roberts and
Orris w. Roberts, the former
; associate professor of mathe-
matics at Iowa State college at
Ames, and the latter section
director of the United States
weather bureau at Bismark,

pany of Omaha, which has the

to speak, between the devil and
J the deep sea. Unable to secure
J any payment on its contracts,
owing to the injunction suit
, brought by A. D. Annis and 9th
err residents of Harrison county
} to restrain the supervisors of
the two counties from making
any further payments on the
contracts, it is now made defen
lent in three damage suits
brought in the district court
here yesterday. The plaintiffs
in the three suits are A. D. An
mis-, Fred Brown and M. j. Fitz
gibbon, who own land in the i'm
mediate vicinity of the drain
} age bitches. They each ask
damages in the sum of $1,000
alleging that the dredgeing
company by partially digging
the bitches and then abandoning
them had left them without
any outlet, and in consequence
the bitches had filled for a dis
tance of six miles and overf ow
ed the adjoining land including
that of the plaintiffs. Council

From Prison to Asylum.

Ross Thompson, who shot young
Gullickson at Lake Norden couple
OF years ago, and who recently finished
sentence in the state prison
for his crime, returned few days
ago to Loke Norden and insisted up
on camping on the Gl1llickson
premises. He urged some one of the
family to shoot him. He explained
that he shot young Gullickson at the
command of the spirits, and that now
they had commanded him to come
back and be shot himself. After ter
rorizing the family for couple of
days, the sheriff was sent for, and the
young man will be sent to the insane
asylum. 1t is now thought that he
was probably insane at the time of
the shooting two years ago, as there
was no motive discovered for the
crime at that time.

Accused Of Fraud.

Joseph B. Baker, who was recently
located at Lawton, Oklahoma, and ar
rested on instructions from the United
States authorities of South Dakota
will be brought to the state and given
into the custody of the federal authori-
ties. He is under Indictment in the
federsl court on the charge of land
frauds.
1t is expected his trial will take
place during the regular term of the
United States court, which will con-
vene at Deadwood on Tuesday, Sep
tember /, For several years Baker
was a familiar figure in real estate
circles in Gregory county, and follow
ing the opening to settlement of part
OF the Rosebud Indian reservation in
that county in 1904 was conspicuous
in the handling of ACCOMPLISHMENTS in
the newly opened territory.
Baker had as a partner during his
residence in South Dakota an individ-
ual named Fl. G. Wyatt, who is now
serving a term in Missouri Jail for
an offense similar to that charged
against Baker in this state. The prin-
lcipal stock in trade of the two men
while in Gregory county was the fl
ing CT soldier declaratory statements
upon vacant lands, and in this way
they segregated many hundreds of
acres of rich prairie land.

CHARGED WITH MURDER.

Louie Racey was arrested at VOL
sey few days ago for the murder of
a man supposed to be GeorgeL L. Stew
art, plasterer, who formerly worked
at Brookings. Stewart and Racey had
been seen together and were liberal
patrons ofa saloon. They were seen to
enter an old mill, where Racey admits
that he and Stewart quarreled, but he
has no recollection Of what occurred
after the quarrel. Racey's hands,
oyeralls and shirt bore numerous
spots of blood, and his hat was found
beneath Stewards body. He gives
his place of residence as Kansas City.
but will not say that his parents or
relatives reside there. Evidence at
the inquest point to Racy's guilt.
Nothing was found on Stewards
body to indicate his home. An acci-
dent insurance policy for $500 signed
by an agent at Brookings is the only
reason for believing his family was at
that place. His body, when found,
was in a grain bin in the mill. When
removed 1t was in sorry plight, the
face was battered and bloody, and
there were several scalp wounds upon
the head. The throat showed that he
had been choked, the skin being brok-
Ell and finger marks plainly visible.

Camped Here Forty Years Ago.

Antoine Simonet of LeSaur, Mimi,
was in the city last week looking owe r
the ground on which he camped as a
soldier fighting Indians over forty
years ago. He was here in 1864 and
camped through the winter in com
pany with troop. He says at that
time there was a warm spring near
the river bank in the bluffs north of
the city, and that the soldiers dug out
a place into which the warm water
ran, and used it for bathing until
well into the winter. He has been
attempting to locate the spring, or it's
vicinity, but has not succeeded and
thinks the river must have cut away
the bank to point back of the loca-
ton of the spring.
