Fairmont, March 3l.-Some time
during Monday night two places OF
business at Ceylon were broken into

The gang first entered the Vessel
hardware store. Here they took four
watches, safety razor, some pocket
knives and possibly some other articles
They also took along couple OF
hatchets by means of which they
forced an entrance to Stems saloon.
Here they helped themselves to drinks
and cigars and left four glasses stand
ing on the bar, pretty certain index
to the number in the gang.
The elevator of Byrncs Bros. ar
Huntley was broken into some time
between closing time Saturday night
and opening time Monday morning ami

$50 taken. The staples were drawn
and the north door that fastened on
the inside opened and Il wagon loaded
as the tracks plainly showed.

after talking with his superior officials

had been instructed to inform the

ment until his counsel could arrive in
Washington, pending a decision of the
committee at an executive session. Mr..
Penton was asked by Mr.. Stevenson
to Identify a number of letters adj

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS TO
HAVE INDOOR BALL Team

At a meeting held last evening 1t
was decided by the Knights OF Column
bus to have an indoor baseball team
again this season, and arrangements
viii he made for a practice game In
the near future with one or the other
of the local teams. Fred Turnkey was
elected captain of the team and Frank
Francis will continue to act as man
ager, which office ne filled so capaibly
last season. The membership of the
Columbus comprises some of the best
indoor baseball talent I'm the city, and
during the existence OF the local frat
ernal league has stood we'll towards
the top of the percentage column, so
that 1t is expected they will be able to
make a good showing this winter.
The ST. Patrick's Literary and So
cial institute is also considering the
organization of an indoor baseball
team, i'm addition to its other varied
activities. and the st. Josephs Y. NJ.
G. C. will also have a team. The Hi
bernian team, which effected its re-
organization a week or so ago with
Butch" Stack as captain and Peter
Delaney as manager is already getting
into shape and on Sunday they had a
first class workout at the Germania
hall. Taken altogether II looks as
though there would be some good sport
in the indoor baseball line this winter.
in spite OF the absence of the Fraternal
league. 1t is expected that now that
the local Independent baseball organ
will be inaugurated i'm the near flu
ture towards the organization of a
county league.

MiTCHELLS VS.. MAiERS.
Big Match Game at Mitchell Bowling
Alleys This EVENING.

Interest of the local bowling frater-
nifty in centered for the time being in
the match to be played this evening at
the Mitchell alleys between the Maier
and Mitchell teams, it being a return
game for the one played a week ago
at the Maier alleys which the Mitchells
won in three straight. Both are strong
and expert teams and this evenings
match is expected to develop some
good records.
Tomorrow evening will see the great
game between the carbarn men and the
trainmen of the Houghton County
Traction company, an invitation to
witness which has been extended to
other employees OF the road. A luncheon
will be served after the game and the
winners of the match will challenge
the Calumet carbarn men or the
Houghton office force to a match.
Another match for which arrange
ments are in progress is one between
the Mitchells and a Calumet Y. NJ. c.
A. team, and it is expected that nego-
tiations will be conducted today by
which the Calumet bowlers will come
here tomorrow night, which will give
n double header inasmuch as the
street car men will also play on that
date.
A number of the members of the A,
o. II. have been getting into training
lately at the Mitchell alleys and some
good scores have been made. The boys
are getting enthusiastic over the sport
and there is probability that bowling
may be added to the other athletic ac-
tivities of the Hancock division of the
A. o. ii.
A local gentleman has offered as a
prize for the team taking two out of
three games this evening two hundred
and fifty cigarettes. Cox continues to
increase his record in making the most
scores over two hundred and the five
highest scores for the month of Nov
ember. His score of 237 bowled last
evening is the highest made on the
Mitchell alleys this season, and his
other high scores are PA. 220, 215, 213
He has so far made nine scores ovei
two hundred, but according to the
rules of the alley he will be entitled tC
but one prize, while having actually
made most scores over 200 and also the
five highest scores for the month.
