Edgerton Defeats StOughton.
The best game of the season was
between the Giants of this city and the
Mandt Wagon Works of Stoughton at
Athletic Park, June 18th. Those boys
from the Mandt Works are all fast
players and it took eleven innings for the
Giants to down them. At the beginning
the Stoughton team had but little trouble
in finding Shorts curves and this caused
Captain Warner to frown, in factshis
frown was so loud that Short heard it,
and from then on Twirler Short warmed
up and kept the other fellows guessing.
Olson redeemed himself in the eleventh,
striking three-bagger and then bring
ing in the score that severed the tie.
The crowd yelled and the girl with a
polka dot dress threw her umbrella
half way to Sol in the sky. Everybody
felt good, even unto our friends from
Stoughton, who had made an extra eff
fort and lost.
Stoughton was first at bat and hits
by Roe and O. Jerdee and an error
netted one run. Edgerton evened up
the score in their half. Ellingson walk
ed, reached second on an error and
scored on Olson's single. Stoughton
opened the second by Thompson walk
ing; Lewis followed with single and
Id 10 Nv n
Jerdee his base; Roe was on tap with
his second safety and two runners
crossed the plate. The next three were
easy outs. Edgerton tied up the game
in the third. Stoughton's infeld went
up in the air and before they settled
down three errors let in two scores.
From the 18th to the 18th neither side
made much of bid for score, the
pitchers having the batters at their
mercy. In the 18th it looked as if
Stoughton had the game won. Lewis
was out from Short to Sutton. Behn-
ke's error gave O. Jerdee life at 1st,
base on balls to Roe advanced him to
second. and hit by Broughton filled
the bases. A hit now meant lot, but
Short put more stuff on the ball and
Gullickson famed. A. Jerdee was
dead rabbit, Warner to Sutton. Olson
opened the 18th for Edgerton with
corking three-base hit to left. HI.
Behnke whitfield three times, and to
make sure that his three Dagger would
not be wasted, Olson stole home with
the winning run when Emmons had a

GAINESVILLE Tobacco Dealer Dead.


In the death of Levi B. earle, which
took place on Saturday evening, June
II, GAINESVILLE loses one of its most sub
stantial and enterprising citizens. Mr.
earle was born in Lowell, Mass,
March II, 1847, and came with his par
ents to Rock county in 1852. Receiv-
ing a common school education he start
ed out early to rely upon his own
resources. In 1853 he entered the gro
Gerry business in GAINESVILLE which he
conducted for twenty-one years sue
cessfully. He retired from the retail
trade in 1879 and moved to Chicago,
where for four years he was engaged
in large wholesale grocery business.
He then returned to GAINESVILLE and with
his son, Norman L. earle, has been ac-
lively engaged in the leaf tobacco bus
mess since.
For many years Mr.. earle was pres
ident of the First National Bank of
GAINESVILLE and at time of his death was
president of that institution. He
has also been for years president of
the GAINESVILLE Machine Company and
was also a director in the GAINESVILLE
Electric company. His success as
business man was due entirely to his
own honest efforts, coupled with rare
good judgment. In the tobacco bust
ness he had reached position where
he was clearly the leader of the trade
in the state. His other interests, too,
brought him in close touch with many.
enterprises in his home city, which as
time goes on will feel that his death
is positive loss.
One son, Norman L. earle, and a
daughter, Miss. Josephine, alone sur
vive- The funeral services held from
his home on Tuesday was attended
very largely by the tobacco dealers of
the state.

MOVEMENT ID
 SAVE SHORT LINE
BUSINESS MEMS LEAGUE SEC RETARY TO MAKE INvEST+
 CATION OF CONTRACTS.
President six Opposed to Amaieama ton of Short Lines, Instead of
 Favoring It, as Reported.

A movement to save the Hot Springs Western acad from being swallowed up in general amalgamation of the Iron Mountain and Missouri Pacific interests just after the first of the new year, is being made of the Busi- ness Mems League of this city.
 While the policy will generally be Ia persuasive one, yet Secretary Beld- ing of the Business Mems League has been authorized to look up the con tracts and franchises which gave this line right of way, 1t being the impress sion that the night of way was given for the operation of an independent line only, and that the privilege might cease with an amalgamation of other lines.
 President c. N Rix last night stat ed that the report that he had attend ed meeting at Little Rock and voted for the removal of the local offices and shops, was decidedly an error. He simply voted with other directors for the holding of meeting of the stock holders in January, something that had to be done, and at that stockhold- CTS meeting the question will be talk en up and MT. Rlx will vigorously op- pose the amalgamation of the Hot Western by any other line, or system of lines.
 It is generally admitted that there Is little chance to save the identity of the Hot Springs Western, but that where there is even a slight chance, that chance should be improved, and every possible influence brought to bear to preserve this line if possible.

men will be conveniently placed for the arrest of any evildoers. These same eyildoers will go before court, where a fine may be assessed in proportion to the enormity of the crime.
 The evening will be full of fun for everybody. If you feel little old and cross these days, come out and laugh with the youngsters one whole evening and get young again. Don't forget to bring all the children, too. They want to see it. Ten cents ad- mits you at the door and to the ami nal show and another ten cents to the ring performance.

Incident in Navarro Hotel Lobby Will Be Up for Trial in Police Court
 This Morning.

Because his victim was unable to appear in police court as a prosecut- ing witness, the trial of Will Thomp- son, charged with assault and bat tery, was yesterday deferred until this morning, when a case will be called that has aroused much local interest.
 R. E Garner, an invalid for the past seventeen months. was sitting in his rolling chair in the lobby of the Ma varre Hotel Monday night There were no other about the lobby but the night clerk.
 According to a statement made yes terday by Garner. the door opened, and man came in, stepped up to him in menacing attitude, struck him while yet seated. and then dragged him from the chair, threw him vio- lently to the floor, where severe beating was administered.
 Garner declares that the man who attacked him only said:
 Give me that $40 you owe me-
 Will Thompson, local character, has been arrested for the attack. He was drinking heavily at the time. and about the hotel there has been no further reason than this as to why the stranger was attacked.
 Garner declares that he never saw Thompson before he was struck by him, that he could not owe him any money and that if he could have had the opportunity he could have con vinced the man that they never had met before.
 Garner was yesterday under the In. fluence of strong opiates administered to relieve his severe pain.
