NO CARRIER FOR NO. /
Postmaster Ross Finding Difficulty
in Securing Rural Carriers

Last Friday the rural free delivery
carrier for Route Number One failed
to put in an appearance at the post
office. Postmaster Ross located
him on Saturday, but was unable to
induce him to do more than resign
his position.
The carrier thinks that $500 per
month for himself and horses is not
sufficient pay. Today the people on
this route are without delivery and
their mail is at the office There
is no room for it in the general de-
livery department and the clerks are
perplexed what to do with the mail
il it piles up in much larger guam
tity.

VISITORS WON ON
Technically
Final Game of Series With
Pontiacs Was a
Thriller.

The Thursday battle between Kile
and Thompson was continued yes
terday at Recreation park. The We
natchee pitcher in no respect was any
less effective than three days ago,
but Thompson was lucky. Both
slabsters walked two batters and
each bagged nine strike-outs. Thomp-
son allowed only four safe hits while
Kile was a little more generous and
permitted six. Long hits were con-
spicuous for their absence. There
was no such hitfest as in all the pre-
ceding games of the series. Errors
chalked up were two for the Ponti-
acs and one for Wenatchee.
The game was presented to the
Seattle team on a technicality. The
Pontiacs had scored once in the first
and third innings, while Wenatchee
had nothing but a row of goose eggs
until the eighth, when the local left
fielder hammered out the biggest
hit of the day, a three-bagger. This
brought Olson home and the ninth
inning began with the score board
reading POntiacs 2, Home 1. Kile
moved the stickers down without let
ting a man reach first base in the
first half of the last session. Then
started the most sensational inning
ever witnessed on a Wenatchee dia-
mond. Ross began it with a hot
grounder which was we'll fielded, and
back he came from first. Then
Brown was substituted for Perry and
famed. Peugh batted for Morrison
and landed safe on a single base hit.
Rush then picked up stick and trot-
ted to the plate amidst tremendous
cheering from the grand stand and
bleachers. Nor did he disappoint
his admirers. His single was plenty
to send Peugh sailing around to
third base and pandemonium cut
loose. The fans all saw the POSSIBLE
ity of a tie game and ultimate vic
tory.
Then a mysterious dispute with
the umpire was INDUCED by the Pom
tiacs What it was all about the
grand stand could not figure out.
Finally the umpire waved the play
ers off the field and the crowd gradu-
ally dispersed to learn what had
happened The tale of woe they
heard was this: After Brown the
batting order called for Kile. But
in some mysterious way which no.
body has explained, Rush faced the
pitcher out of his turn. The foxy
Pontiacs said nothing until he made
a hit Umpire Adams was not in
clined at first to honor their protest.
But when the book of rules was pro-
duced and authority quoted, he was
compelled to forfeit the game, for
the rules state that any player who
bats out of his turn shall be called
out. This made the third out, so
that the side was retired and the
game ended
1t was a shame that the finish had
to come in this manner, for Kile was
getting better every time up and
there was a strong chance for the
game to run on for several innings as
it did on Thursday.

BLOOD.RED sun NOT CAUSED BY COMET
The Curious Phenomenon of the Last Few Possibly Caused
by Volcanic Atoms in Atmosphere.

For a week or two past a curious
phenomenon has been noted in re-
gard to the sun. The great luminary
has changed color. Instead of the
usual FURNISHED gold color which he
presented to us in a cloudless sky,
so dazzling that it was impossible to
look into the sun without some pro-
lection to the eyes, the color now is
dull red, almost the color of blood,
and so lustreless that, for some time
IN the morning and in the afternoon
one may look into the sun without
blinking. This curious condition be-
gan about two weeks ago, and still
continues, though now apparently di-
minishing somewhat In way the
same applies to the moon, which
about the time it was full also pre-
sented dull red appearance, in place
OF the usual silvery white.
This condition seems to apply over
the entire country, being made the
subject of comment by several news
papers. The Spartanburg Journal
says:
About the middle of March the
sun and moon began to grow dim
until now they refuse to give the
usual light for which they were Gre
ated. Although there are no clouds
the sun struggles up slowly in the
morning as though he had been
keeping late hours. After awhile g
great red globe appears, and even
"nen an hour or two high no shad-
oWs are cast. During the whole day

say that it is caused by volcanic dust

A STRANGE GLOBE OF FIRE
TRAVELS NIGHTLY OVER FIELD
IN MIDDLE GEORGIA.
Supernatural Occurrence BewiIders
People. Can't Get Close Enough
to Ascertain Its Nature.

JULIETTE, Ga.-The people of
Dyas, a small village in the western
part of Monroe county, are greatly
puzzled over a strange phenomenon
that makes its nightly appearance on
the plantation of Mr. James Hollo-
way, one of the most prominent citi-
zens and farmers of that vicinity. 1t
generally makes it's appearance about
II o'clock, and can be seen from
that time until day breaks. 1t is
said that it has existed for thirty
years or more, and during that time
has been seen by hundreds of peo-
pie. Strange to say, Notwithstanding
the length of its existence, no &C
count of it's appearance has ever ap-
peared in a newspaper. The writer
was told about the phenomenon by
Mr.. Llama Smith, highly respected
and reliable citizen of Forsyth, and
this was the first time the writer
had ever heard about it.
No matter what is the nature of
the weather, whether it is hot or
cold, whether it is raining, showing
or sleeting, the phenomenon makes
it's appearance almost every night
during the year, and it is certainly
the most supernatural occurrence in
the history of Monroe county, or
probably any other county in the
state. 1t is a source of the greatest

"PRIZE FIGHT" IN CHURCH.
DeacOns Box Round and Then Pas
tor Jabs the Devil.

An Atlanta dispatch says: Adver-
tisements scattered over the city in
viting members of the Western
Heights Baptist church to a prize
fight there tonight drew a goodly
crowd of brethren" who ordinarily
are conspicuous by their absence.
Two deacOns of the church, r. E.
Finch and j. P. Glore, both looking
fit and in the best shape, stepped be-
fore the crowd and gave a few min
utes of scientific passing of blows,
each blow being stopped just before
reaching is destination. The disap-
pointed sports were then treated to
a little sermon by one of the fight
ers, Mr.. Glore, who told them the
gloves were symbolical of the fight
they must wage against the devil.
The pastor and others then spoke.
1t was a punk fight, but a good
church rally.
