of games last evening at Lewis

GERS won, the score being 5 to 3
in their favor Seven innings were
played, and it was a fast game
throughout. Two of the grocers'
regular players were laid up on ac-
count of injuries, and two outside
players were substituted. After rre
game was over the bankers demur-
red, but the grocers said that they
should not have played the game
if they were dissatisfied with the
grocers' lineup. Graf and Swanson

RObinsOn'S circus, which exhibited
here last Saturday, was diven out of
town by the police. Soon after they
opened their afternoon exhibition
stories began to float in of people
being shortchanged right and left,
and in some cases robbed outright.
One farmer was beaten out of SIS
and another of $50. The police finally
took a hand and ordered the outfit
to get out of town. They waited,
however, until the people had paid
their admission to the evening per-
Torrance and then announced that,
as it looked like rain, no exhibition
would be given. No money was re-
funded.
The dental office of DR.. G. N.
Weyer, National Citizens bank build
ing, was visited by burglar during
the noon hour today. About $45
was taken from the office safe which
was not locked. and $50 worth of
gold leaf was stolen from the work
shop.
DR.. Weyer did not discover the
robbery until he was about to de-
post the $45 with his banker. He
placed the money in the safe just
before he went to dinner shortly
after twelve o'clock. The door to the
office was locked during the noon
hour and it was found in the same
condition when the doctor returned
from dinner.
