DARKNESS ENDS GAME.
Alexandria and Indian Office Play
Five Innings to Tie Before Night
Stops Play.

Darkness put an end yesterday to
what promised to be an excellent game
of bali. Five innings were played and
at that stage Alexandria and Indian
Office were tied at one run each. Pitts
and Shalin were both in fine form.
The former allowed nothing resembling
a hit, while SnoWden's double was the
only safe drive off Shalin. A running
catch by Lynch, in center, and the
great work of Miller, at third, were the
fielding features. Alexandria scored
in the first on pass to Lynch,
who was forced by scrivener, and
Snowden's two Dagger over the right
field fence. The passes filled the Tags
but no one could produce the neces-
sary hit.
The visitors made their runs in the
third on three successive errors OF the
infield. AT no other time did they
have n runner on.
Pitts was passed in the fifth and stole
as Miller famed. The throw was high
and Pitts landed on third. Lynch and
Scrivener struck out. Score.

Two Ere stes OF Nature.

Two contrasting freaks Of nature ara
the Island Of Fire and the Lake OF
Snow. The Island Of Fire Is called
the Home Of Hot Devils. It Is situat-
ed In the midst Of large lake Of boil
idg mud in the island Of Java. The
steam and gases which arise from the
sticky mud form themselves into bub-
bhs attaining a diameter Of FIVE or six
feet and sailing high up In the air like
balloons, carried hither and thither by
the wind and finally exploding with
loud crash.
The biggest snow lake Is seen from
the summit of Hispar pass, in the ka-
rakoran range. It is more than 800
square miles in area. In Switzerland
the sea of Ice might better be called
the sea of snow, as the surface Is bro
ken up by solar heat. which makes

HA|RBREADTH ESCAPE
Of CAPTAIN DORAME
THREATENED EVERY NIGHT
WITH EXECUTION.
His Story OF His Capture by Federals
Four Months Ago.

r Dorame, whose bones were sup
posed to be bleaching in Mexico, the
owner of the bones having been shot as
an insurrecto, returned to Phoenix
yesterday but he will shortly go back
30 Mexico Of which he is loyal citizen
under the new regime.
Some four months ago DOrame, who
had been a deputy sheriff of this coun-
" and Pinal and had been a socialist
candidate for delegate TO the constitu-
tional convention, was captured with
several other insurrectos enroute into
the interior. They were taken in the
Altar district not far from the Ameri-
can boundary.
The last heard from Dorame until
yesterday morning was that he and his
companions had been taken to Her
mosillo and it was supposed that they
were there stood up against an adobe
wall and shot. for the federals did not
long delay imprcssing captured insur-
rectos with the foolishness Of rebel
lion.
Especially in the case of DOrame, 1t
was thought there would be abbreviated
shrift. because ne was not a mere in
surrecto but had been running rein
forcements across the line ever since
the revolution had assumed serious
proportions.
Dorame said that though things had
come out all right he would not go
again through what he had traversed in
the last few months. He has suffered
execution in his mind dozens of times,
i'm fact almost every night during his
Imprisonment
He said that when they crossed the
lire there was a dozen men in the par
ty. including one traitor. They crossed
one night about forty miles west Of
Nogales and there the traitor whom
they had supposed to be an active
agent of the insurrectoS said that they
should go into camp and he would
move forward to another band of in
surrectos which would join them the
next day and immediate and active pre-
parations for the overthrow of Diaz
would be begun.
The camp was at ranch whose
owner for the greater security of the
recruits took them to an elevated place
in a natural fertilization of rocks.
30 men approaching and at first they
supposed them to be federals and they
formed for resistance. But as the par
ty came nearer. they recognized their
companion in the party. They called
to one another not to shoot for the
army" coming was insurrecto. They
did not change their estimate until
they were covered by the guns Of the
fedcrals.
They were taken to Altar and after
a short detention there were marched
to Hermossilo. They were not given
a trial but every night they were Off
cially informed that the execution
would take place the following morn
ing at daybreak and the prisoners had
no doubt that the program would be
carried out. From day to day their
feelings were narrowed in this manner
but at last there came turn in the
tide of events. The rebel successes in
Chihuahua emboldened the insurrecto
sympathiZers of the capital who began
working for the release of the political
prisoners of whom there were in all
thirty-six Then came the capture OF
