The Sioux City Tribune comedies
first place to Sioux City. This paper
takes the point of view that Towne
was wrong in jumping in front OF
the plate and tagging HogrieVer in
that game at Lincoln last week. The
game hasn't been officially decided
yet, but doubtless Lincoln will get the
game. President O'Neill received a
letter from Umpire Clark, acknoWl-
edging that a mistake had been made,
and on the strength of this letter,
O'Neill is taking a mail vote of the
directors. The result will be announc-
ed in a few days. This will give Des
Moines the lead by few points.
The directors of the Des Moines
club should take warning from the
officials in the big leagues, who are
getting after the betting in the stands.
Over $1,000 changed hands at Des
Moines last week when Sioux City
played there. Nothing hurts the
sport quicker than betting.
Don DespIain, president of Lincoln
club has declared his intentions of
visiting Chicago while the team is on
the road to make an effort to secure
some new players for the Links. They
certainly need some.

grievance against Towne was that he

both games and did good work not
withstanding the defeat. Incidentally
Lyons is in first place.
Topekans would like to see Lyons cop
that rag, out Of respect to old Jay An
drews who is now with Oklahoma City.
Jay started the team and gave the
players their first insights into the finer
points of the game.
Patton, who is one of the best pitch
ers on the Great Bend team, won
against the Grays Tuesday. The only
run in the first inning scoring one man
ahead of him. Both Falls and La
Flamboise pitched for Arkansas City,
but neither was very effective.
Hunts pitching is keeping Hutchin-
son UP within hailing distance of the
top. link and Cecil Bankhead are
lying awake nights trying to think of
some way to cinch that pennant.
1t is the general opinion Of the States
fans that the Mcpherson team is out OF
it for this season. Mcpherson, how
ever. has put up a game fight, and too
much credit cannot be given them.
Ellsworth got back at salina Tues
day, both Fury and Hendrix being I'M

Gramley would be near that rag now.
Harlan, the former K. u. pitcher, won
a nice game for Minneapolis against

O'Neill, who opposed him, pitched a
great game.
Lawrence, the Indian catcher re-
leased by Quigley, has caught on WIKI

season there. His release came at an
opportune time for the Beloit team,
which was in need of another catcher.

In order to bring to a head the
organizing Of volunteer fire depart
ment in Roundup, Mayor Newton
last week appointed Alfred Shaw
fire chief and F. Lucas assistant,
with power to 60 ahead as best they
see fit toward establishing the or
ganization on firm footing. Altho
a sort OF volunteer department has
existed since the purchase Of the
chemical engine early last spring,
not enough interest to speak Of was
manifested in the work. hence the
move on the part of Mayor Newton.
As the water system is rapidly near
ing completion the need of organiza-
ton of this kind to cope with fires
is being felt. Without head or
organized effort t h G protection
which the system Of water is sup
posed to provide would be practi-
cally useless. - .-=
Fire Chief Shaw and his assistant
are now planning on calling meet
ing of those interested sufficiently
to take an active hand in the mat
ter to perfect the organization. They
are already enlisting some desire
able material for the company and
expect to make pretty good show
ing in short time. Membership
will be entirely honorary, as there
will be no funds with which to pay
fire fighters. The company will have
to depend wholly upon public
spirited citizens for its recruits, and
it is to be hoped that good many
will join. In order to make the
proposition more attractive social
features are TO be incorporated with
the company. With this object in
view, an effort will also be made to
have the city each year present
medals of honor to those m embers
who have especislly distinguished
themselves in the service. Mem
bers of the company will also be
exempt from pole and poor tax and
jury duty.
The city has already purchased
a hose cart, and will let the con-
tract for fire hose on December 10Th,
bids on which are now being ad-
vertised for.

Cherry Mine Disaster Creates In
tense Excitement Here
Roundup Mines Safe.

The terrible mine disaster at
Cherry, Illinois, in which nearly
800 miners lost their lives, has cast
a pail of gloom over Roundup.
Not only is large percentage Of
the citizens Of this city engaged in
underground work similar to that
followed by those who lost their
lives, but a great number came
from Cherry and had worked in the
ill-fated mine and others there, and
were intimately acquainted with
many Of the unfortunate miners.
Especially well known were Alexan-
der Norberg and John Bundy,
whose names appeared in the list
of the known dead. Both died the
death of heroes in trying to save
the lives of their fellow men. w.
II. Bundy, who it will be remem-
bcrcd was formerly employed by
the Republic Coal Co., as head clerk
in the office here, is the son of fJohn
Bundy, who was superintendent Of
the Cherry mine.
The town Cherry was named
after the father Of the Cherry boys
employed at No. 2 mine here,
having charge of the opening of the
ill-fated mine. Mr.. Cherry died
last September.
Excitement ran high when the
news was first received here Sunday,
and it was long wait until the
evening mail arrived with the Butte
dailies carrying the first report of
the terrible disaster. The papers
were eagerly scanned and every de-
tail and situation gone into.
Geo. n. Griffin, superintendent Of
the Milwaukee's coal properties
here, altho not personally familiar
with the Cherry mine, is acquaint-
ed with conditions there and says
that only criminal carelessness
could cause such an accident which
befcll the miners. Speaking of the
conditions of the mines here Mr..
Griffin said that, as in the case in
the Cherry disaster, only gross care
lessness on the part of some en-
ploye could cause any accident
with serious consequences.
No word has been received here
from Supt. W. W. Tailor since the
disaster.

PARK BRANCH RUhoR}
Considerable Significance Attached
to Big Purchase Of Land by
]. 0. Adams.

Considerable speculation has been
caused the past week by the report
ed sale Of large tract Of land near
Columbus to the Milwaukee Land
Co., and the bearing Of this on
future operations Of the Milwaukee
road. The land in question lies
east of Columbus and comprises
$1,000 acres. It was sold by Her
man Witt to J. @. Adams Of the
Milwaukee Land Co.
While the Milwaukee Land Co.,
is not directly connected with the
c., NJ. & St. P, most OF the men
interested in it are officials Of the
road. and heretofore the land COM
pany has confined its operations
only to the territory traversed by
the road or which was about to be
tapped. This fact lends consider
able weight to the belief that the
Milwaukee will build to the park
from the north and east instead from
some point west Of the Missouri
river as some have been led to be-
lieve. It has also been known fol
some time that the Milwaukee has
acquired a large acreage Of coal
land in the Red Lodge fields which
would be in line with a branch to
the park thru Columbus.
What the probable route of the
branch will be is matter of con-
lecture. It is thought, however,
that it will start from some point
between Roundup and Harlowton,
as this offers the most practical
route. That the park branch will
be one of the first to be built has
long been conceded by many.

Cherry Illinois Is Scene of One Of the
Worst Horrors in the History
of Coal Mining.

Cherry, ILL.,, by last Saturdays dis
aster are dead. Some of the bodies
lie beneath thousands Of tons Of
earth, which had caved IN upon
them, and it is doubtful if many
ever can be recovered.
This was the opinion expressed
when attempts at rescue work, car
ried OH night and day for As hours,
was Temporarily abandoned.
Renewed fires in the mine made
further descents by rescuers i'm
possible.
FaLs employed in an effort to
carry fresh air to the imprisoned
men served only to enlivcn some
sparks which sprang into a flame.
Soon the heat and smoke became
so dense it was necessary to seal up
The mouth Of the hoisting shaft, and
men down there, whatever their
condition, are locked in as eifectual-
ly as in a dungeon.
Hope hung frequently in the bal
ance Monday. Before the fire broke
out again rescuers decended four
times. Then the rnmor circulated
quickly through the crowds that the
men below ground had been res
cued and that they were not
brought up Immediately because
they were exhausted because of
lack OF food and air. They're
a live, they're alive" cried hope
full mothers and wives. They'll be
brought up pretty soon.' But the
truth was far different. The res
cuers did, on one occasion, get
down 300 feet to the bottom of the
hoisting shaft. Then, cropping their
way with electric lamps and kept
alive by oxygen stored away IN their
helmets, they penetrated 80 feet
into the bottom gallery. But none
of the miners, either dead or alive,
were found.
Hey, are you thcre?o cried the
rescuers cheerily, but no response.
FIRE BREAKS OUT AGAIN.
1t was conjectured that the min
ers had crawled for safety into re.
cesscs most remote from the fire
but to these parts the rescuers
were unable to to go without reas.
cending. Before they could again
descend the fire had broken out
Gradually the crowd about the
mouth of the shaft began to thir
as hope seemed to wane. At dusk
q tall skeleton frameworks of iron
surrounded by group OF low wood
ed buildings which few days ago
had been the scene of industry, sug.
gested by their desolation that hope
had been abandoned. Only a hall
lozenguards parrolled the premises
In the distance, scattered over the
field here and there, a few womer
were wrapped in shawls, gazing or
in silence. As result of the disast
er, there are in this town of only {
Jew thousond people at least Loo
orphans and 200 widows. Some
families of eight children will be

OF TRIVIAL ORIGIN.

The fire which may prove one of
the greatest tragedies in the list OF
mine horrors, had an origin almost
trivial. A pile Of hay, allowed to
smolder too long, finally ignited the
timbers of the mine, and when the
workers of the mine realized their
danger the mine Was filled with
smoke, gases and flames and all ex-
its were impossible.
Great heroism was shown by Of
ticials and residents Of Cherry.
Those men who We're outside the
mine when the fire started, contri-
buted five to the list OF II known
dead by rushing into the mine, try
ing to save the doomed men.
Alexander Norberg, pitman,
gave his life unhesitatingly in fu-
tile effort to save those Of his COM
RAIDS who risked their lives with him.
