Neither Side Admits Defeat.

The base ball game Tuesday be-
tween the Roswell Mexicans and the
Military Institute Cadets ended in the
last half of the ninth inning, one side
claiming it tie and the other claim
ing victory. The score stood 5 to 5
when the Mexicans went to the bat

and the bases full when the dispute
occurred The man at the bat struck
the ball and ra1 to first, Captain
Wynne making no attempt to put him
out for the reason that he claimed
that the batter struck the ball with
his body. The man on third ran home
and this, the Mexicans claim as the
winning score. The umpire decided
that the ball was hit by the batter's
body, and this leaves the game tie,

CHILDREN MARCHED OUT
SINGING "AMERICA."

New York, Mar. 6.-An alarm of
fire was sent in to headquarters to-
day from the public school building
at 1O9th street and Broadway. The
children were marched out of the
building without panic, and the par
ents who rushed to the building were
prevented by the police from clogging
the exits and sent away. The fire was
on the top floor of the building which
is five stories high.
There were two thousand children
in the school engaged in their morn
ing exercises, and when the fire gong
was rung they continued singing
America and marched out of the
building without sign of panic. The
fire was quickly extinguished, causing
damage of about 5000 in the room
in which it started.

MOVE TO UNITE THE
BANDS OF ROSWELL.

A move has been started by the
Commercial Club, backed up by the
City Council, to unite the two bands
of Roswell, both of which are in a
state of disorganization- The plan is
to secure all the players in both org
anizatiols for service in the new
band which is to be given new
name, new leader and entirely new
management. The Commercial Club
has named a committee, composed of
J. w. Thomas and c. C. Tannehill to
accomplish this work, and they will
call a meeting of the players for
some time next week, at which the
offer and terms of the club will be
made. Both the club and the city,
council will assist in getting the new
band ON its feet.

IN THIRTY YEARS.

Chicago, Mar. 6.-The highest
March wind in Chicago for thirty
years commenced early today and
wrought much havoc in the down

times reached the velocity of 55 miles
an hour, blew down chimneys and
smashed several store fronts in the
business section. In the suburb of
Gage Park, which was flooded with
water as the result of rapid sea the
past few days, the wind drove the
water into waves which rolled into
the first floors of residences, driving
the tenants to second stories. Much
damage is reported to trees and
shrubbery in and about Logan square
in the northwestern part of the city.

while not as good as California" the
other western play presented Tues

local play goers by his clever delinea-

Crow is probably the brightest and
sprightliest little bunch of feminine
humanity that ever appeared in Ros-
well. She is little, but she is there
in twenty three different ways in the
parts that she plays and in her spe
cialties. Miss Shyne is an exception

songs adapted to her voice have won
her a home in the hearts of local

Tonight the company will present
play entirely new to Roswell theatre

in the extreme. However, there is
an abundance of comedy in the plot
enough to satisfy all who enjoy
hearty laugh. Tomorrow afternoon
matinee performance will be given
for everybody, but more especially
for the little folks. The play will be
'The Little Mother" and little Miss
Grow will be seen in the title role.
