Notes Of the Game.
Miller's great length saved Bresna-
han from two errors. The keokuk
first sacker would reach up into the
skies for all of the throws from third.
Bresnahan's smack in the third look
ed like 1t would clear the fence be-
hind Senno. It came foot short, how
ever, and was reduced to two bags.
Reichle, the hard hitting gardener
of PAS clan, had tn efans nervous IN
the third. Second and first were ten
anted, but the big fielder could do
nothing but fizzle down to Wiseville.
who pegged to Borton for the third
out.
The scores in the fourth were earn
ed all the way. The raps OF Flnney
and Borton we're beauties.
:. Link had on the high speed clutch
in the fourth when he flelded Morris
dump to Kensel ahead of Vasbinder.
His peg was perfect and was operated
in hurry.
Sensenback's failure to cover second
in the fifth allowed Russell to score.
Finney was on first and Russell roost-
ed on third. With Cavanaugh holding
the ball, Finney started to steal and
Russell raced home. Sensenback
stood ten feet from second and allow
ed Cavanaugh's peg to continue on to
center field.
senno's circuit bump at the opening
of the sixth was the Bull Durham
winner. The hard hitting center fielder
sent the ball high and far over the left
field barrier.

George Brender was tried before

der had no trouble in raising a bond
in order to secure his liberty until
the trial. which will take place be-

These alleged shortages represented

APPLE SELLING PLAN
John Brining Would Send Statesmen
East With Samples of Wash
ington Fruit.

Dayton. Wash. Dec 29.--Honor-
able John Brining, former legislator,
and promoter, thinks he has a
remedy that will reduce the cost
of apples to the consumer. His plan
was suggested in a speech at the
commercial club last night, and was
unanimously adopted by fruit grow
ing interests. In fact the plan has
been tried in small way by owners
of Pomona orchard this winter. Mr..
Brining's plan, which may have far
reaching effects, is as follows:
Let us send travelling statesmen
east each fall as the crop ripens with
samples of fruit from the different
districts. Let the salesman drop
into a city or small town, display his
apples in a window and then take
orders for carload shipments. / pro-
pose to refresh his sample cases at
regular intervals. In this way l be-
lieye the enormous prots of the COM
mission man can be cut out. The
commission dealer now receives as
much profit from a box of apples
and sometimes more-as does the
producer, who does all the work.
We cannot battle the railroads in this
way--only the commission man."

A LIFE LOST
IN ENT|AT
RAPIDS
Harry Hannigang G. & o.
Deck Hand Drowned /,
~,
Yesterday.

Harry Hannigan, a deck hand on
the steamboat ST. Paul, was drown
ed in the Entiat Rapids yesterday.
He was Keeling cable while the boat
was being lined up the rapids. At
point near the lower end of the
island, the cable got foul on the
capstan and pulled the spool around
it. Hannigan tried to jump out of
the way of the flying spool, lost his
balance and went over backward in
to the river.
A life boat was quickly launched
and all hands made vigorous effort
to save the fellow. He vas fight
ing with might and main against
the stiff current and again and
he showed little progress only to
be carried back. He was within ten
feet of the point of the island and
safety when he suddenly gave up
the fight and went down. probably
overcome by cramps caused by the
intense cold of the water. At the
time he went under the life boat
was within sixty feet of him.
Captain Stoffel was at the pilot
wheel and he gave orders to make
thorough search for the body. For
several hours the river was patroled
thoroughly for three miles below
the point of the drowning. No trace
of the man was found.
This is the third employe of the
c. & o. boat company who has been
drowned in six years. None of them
have ever been recovered. Doubt
less Hannigan would not have lost
his life had the accident occurred
any other place in the river than just
where it did. He was a good swim
mer but probably no expert could
have overcome the stiff current and
intense cold of the water.
Hannigan was an old school mate
of Captain C. c. Griggs, the two hav-
ing attended school together in
North Dakota many years ago. He
has no family and is man of thir-
ty-four or thirty-five years of age.
