The Twin State Baseball league came into

nile which is printed in another column OF
this paper. The officers of tile league are as
follows: President, Maj. L. NJ, Reyes OF
Keene, n. H.; secretary and treasurer,
Howard c. Rice of Brattleboro;, auditor,
Charles ]. O'Neil of Bellows Falls. war
rem f. Potter of Charlestown, N H., was
chosen vice president pro tenn with the
understanding that he will resign the Office
in favor of whoever is chosen as league
director from the Springfield Charlestown
ASSOCIATION. Those who attended the meet
ing in addition to the league directors were
H. II. Abbott and II. p. Morse of Bellows
Falls, II. c. Rice and DIR. j. b. Duffy OF
Keene. and j. p Ferriter of Brattleboro;
The meeting was largely devoted to the
work of drawing up the schedule. Inc
original plan was for 30 games but as tins
number would necessitate one less home
game for two of the clubs it was decided to
reduce the schedule to 80 games. Under
this arrangement each team will have two
home games every week during the season,
except two, but the chances are that THESE
dates will be filled by postponed games
due to the weather. Brattleboro and
Springfeld-Charlestown will open the sea
son at home.
Assignment of colors for uniforms was
made as follows: Brattleboro, blue gray
with black trimmings; Bellows Falls, dark
blue with blue and white trimmings;
Keene, brown gray with maroon trim
mings; Springfield harlestown, steel gray
with probably dark green trimmings, The
Spaulding bail was adopted as the official
ball of the league. The selection of two
umpires who shall umpire all of the games
is left with the league directors.

Strollers their first encounter under semi

to take advantage of them, except in few
instances, they put up game that was in
teresting, especially in its lack of fouls.
The Strollers did not have foul called up
on them during the game. For the home
team the basket-shooting of Atwood and

of the squad was pronounced by fans to
be the best of the season. The summary

MID.NINTER PICNIC
Big Stone City People Start Picnic
Feasting in New Town
Hail.

The Herald scribe had the
pleasure of enjoying picnic
dinner in the new city hall at
Big Stone last Wednesday. The
Big Stone people are SO accus-
toned to having their picnics on
the banks of the lake during the
good old summer time that they
lind 1t a difficult matter to get
through the winter with out a
picnic of some kind, and accord
ingly they sent out an invitation

ing country to have a picnicd in
ner with them ia their new town
hall on Washingtons birthday.
A gOodly nun Der of farmers and
their wives and families accept
ed the invitation aud crowded
the hall for the occasian. While
we have to admit our farming
experience is more speculative
than operative, to disguise our
self and secure granger ap-
pearance and thus secure a tick
ct to the feast, we donned a clean
shirt, put an honest look on our
face, and sought admission to
the gathering just about the tim e
the tables were being spread
In the hurry aud excitement of
the occasion we were admitted
by the sentinel, and at the prop
er time demonstrated to the sat-
isfaction of all observers that we
were worker in some lines if
not a farmer.
Two tables the full length of the
hall had to be set three times
before the multitude were fed,
and at the conclusion of the feast
a fine musical and literary pro
gram was rendered, under the
supervision of Editor Aldrich
and K. j. Hicks. The whole
affair was certainly very pleas
ant one to all IN attendance, and
should result IN good to both the
social and business interests OF
Big Stone.

NARROW ESCAPE.
Milbank Man Has Some Queer Money.
But 1t Turns Out All Right.

When G.. NJ Bowe was down
at the cities few weeks ago he
came near having to telegraph
home to his wife to bail him out
Of Jail, having just escaped being
arrested under g charge Of cir.
culating counterfeit money. He
made small purchase in one of
the stores and handed the sales
man what he supposed was a five
dollar gold piece, but he was a
long time in getting his change
and noticed that the sales man
and cashier were discussing
something very earnestly, and he
also saw the latter use the tele-
phone. He went over to the
cashier to get his change and the
latter asked him where be got
that 50 gold piece, stating that it
was counterfeit, and also want.
ed to know where he was from
and what business he was en-.
gagged in. Bowe gave him all
this information, and stated that
he had another gold piece in his
pocket just like the one he had
handed out, and taking it from
his pocket placed it by the side
of the first piece, but to Bowe's
CONSERVATION upon examination
the two pieces we're not at all
alike, and he commenced to feel
uneasy. BY this time the tele-
phone had gotten ia its work and
another person put in an appear.
ance; it afterwards develop.
ed that the other person was a
detective, who came to test the
coin and make an arrest, as
there had been a lot Of bad $5
gold pieces recently placed into
circulation in the neighborhood,
but upon closer examination of
the coin in dispute it developed
that it was of the mintage of
1888, and was a genuine piece.
The storekeeper was then willing
to accept it. but Bowe refused to
give it up. and taking it to a coin
fancier was offered $3.50 prem
ium on the "bad coin" Some of
the fellows who have heard the
story think that Bowe's narrow
escape from arrest was caused
as much by the way he wears
his face as by the appearance Of
the coin, and that he shouldn t
be allowed to leave town again
without guardian. or at least
scme one to go along and explain
that he was no three card.
