Hughes cannot be blamed for all OF
the losses.
We have a bunch that when the old
timers in the big show get next to

story flashed over the wires.
One day 'TDucky'' is peeved and the
next he is disa appointed, was the gist
of Denver dispatches last week. The
altitude must have had depressing
effect upon him.
For one thing, the Topeka pitching
staff is much more formidable than
last year. RUDE Reynolds and Cocre-
ham are entitled to consideration;
Fullerton, the New Englander, is be-
ginning to show his real form and
Parson Richardson is a whizzer of a
youngster. Fullerton, by the way,
twirled a three-hit game Thursday
and beat the Isbells both ways from
the middle of the deck.
Jimmy Freeman, whose last ap-
pearance in the Western League was
with the St. Joe club, has quit the
game and retired to his farm in Ten
nessee, according to word received
by relatives in Sioux City. Jimmy
wouldn't stand for a salary cut from
the Memphis club, and, being indie
pendent of baseball for a living, bid
the game farewell.
Des Moines Tribune: The beatings
that have been administered the Des
Moines Boosters by Wichita and To-
peka, leads one to presume that the
Des Moines bunch may be the an
goras of the league. Jimmy McGiIl,
the Denver president, predicts that
the race will be a hard one between
Lincoln, Denver, Omaha and ST. Jo-
Seph. He further predicts that one
of these four teams will grab the pen
nant, with his preference in favor of
the Bears. Des Moines has been los
ing so regularly that it reminds the
fans of the Iowa capital of PA" Hig-
gins.
While the chances to fly pennant
in st. Louis are away outside, neither
the Cardinals nor the Browns are as
punk as they were touted to be before
the opening of the season.
Denver Times: Everybody remem-
bers genial Pat Bohannon, who
twirled for the Grizzlies during the
Tebeau-Burke regime Well Pat
managed the Paducah, Ky, team in
the Kitty League last season. This
year he has secured the same kind
of a position with the Danbury club,
in the New York-New Jersey League.
Walter Johnson's contract with
Washington expires with the present
season and the fans are fearful that
he will hold out for an immense in
crease in salary on the, basis of his
value to the team. Manager Grif-
fifth does not believe, however, that
he will attempt the Tyrus Cobb stunt.

team yesterday when he called
Meinke out for interfering with the
catcher Ochs was on first and at
tempted to steal. McAllister attempt
ed to throw him out, but Meinke in
terfered. Ochs was sent back to first
and Meinke was called out.
The Drummers interfered in this
manner several times Sunday and on
one or two occasions yesterday be-
fore being caught at it. The visitors
thought Anderson would be watching
the play at second and not see the in
reference. They overlooked a bet.
Smith joined the Kaws with a rep
utation of being a poor hitter. 1t is
probably true that he doesn't hit as
often as some of the other members
of the team, but his hits are oppor-
tune He seldom hits unless there is
a runner on base and that is what
makes a hit valuab BILE.
The Denver team didn't think as
much of Bill Rapps as a first base
man as they did RUDE Gardner, but
RUDE hasn't been missed yet. Bill is
lust as good a fielder, and up to date
has hit just as we'll and is more ag-

the man who went to the Coast

FLY FISH

Work on the Ely fish hatchery
was commenced Tuesday, the site
selected being near hurry spring,
where a building "a feet by 30 feet
is to be erected. The equipment is to
include eight tanks each 16 feet long,
in which the eggs are to be Matched.
1t is planned to have the hatchery in
readiness for the first shipment of
eggs from the state hatchery, be-
tween May l and 10. The state is
to supply 100. 600 eggs and $4,000
eastern brook trout, and the state
fish and game commission will fur
Their provide $40 per month for five
months, in getting the project
thoroughly established.
The local hatchery is expected to
prove an important factor in making
the streams of the country a delight
to those who enjoy good fishing. 1t
is estimated that $4,000 trout were
taken from Cleve creek last season,
which shows the results from stock
ing. Cleve creek has been we'll look
ed after in this respect, and when
other streams are supplied with the
young fish, the good fishing territory
will be proportionately increased.
The Ely hatchery has been brought
to a reality through the efforts of
the White Pine Rod and Gun club
and Game Warden A.. c. Powell,
after two years of endeavor. Senator
George T. Mills, state fish commits
%sioner, has also been interested in the
idea, and given valuable assistance in
various ways. Every hunting license
taken out will be of assistance to the
local hatchery, which will receive its
main financial support from this
source.

Special Auditors Report.

The committee appointed by you TO
examine the report of d. j. Sullivan
covering the books Of the different
county officers for the six months
ending December 81, 1912, begs to
report as follows:
We have examined this report and
compared the same with the BOOKS
of the treasurer and auditor as fully
as we we're able to in the limited
time assigned to US. AS a as our
investigation went, we find the said
report to be correct.
There are certain items listed as
assets of the county which should be
followed up. There are two years
taxes in arrears assessed to Wells
Fargo Express company and one
years taxes assessed to the Consum-
ers Mailing and Brewing company.
Both of these items have been refer
red to the district attorney, and we
NOuiu IeIOlllI6nu lndl ht PiVNNth
with suits in both of these cases, If
such suits are not already under way.
There is also a balance shown as
due from the hurry Sheep company.
We are informed that the amount
represented in this balance has been
ordered struck off the books of the
county. We would recommend that
this order be executed.
There are a number of items car
ried as assets at figures which we
believe are higher than their true
valuation, such as real estate. furni-
ture and fixtures of court house,
furniture of various school proper
ties. If these were reduced to figures
more nearly representing their cor
rect valuation, they would show more
nearly the correct surplus credit to
which the county is entitled.
Respectfully submitted,

Washington performed his errand
as Dinwiddle must have expected he
would. He received his commission
and the governors letter to the French
commandant on the last day OF Octo-
Der, and set out the same day for the
mountains. Jacob Vanbraam, the
Dutch soldier of fortune who had been
his fencing master at Mount Vernon,
accompanied him as interpreter. and
Christopher Gist, the hardy, selfreli-
ant frontier trader, whom the Ohio
company had employed to make inter
est for them among the Indians of the
far region upon the western rivers
which he knew so we'll, was engaged
to act as his guide and counselor;

Reaches the French Fort.
II was the eleventh of December
before the jaded party rode, in the
cold dusk. into the drenched and miry
clearing where the dreary little fort
stood that held the French command
er. Through two hundred and fifty
miles and more of forest they had
dragged themselves over swollen riv-
ers. amidst an almost ceaseless fall OF
rain or snow, with not always an In
dian trail. or the beaten track OF the
bison. to open the forest growth for
their tagging horses, and on the watch
always against savage treachery.
II had become plain enough before
they reached their destination what
answer they should get from the
French. Sixty miles nearer home than
these lonely headquarters of the
French commander at Fort lie Boeuf
they had come upon an outpost where
the French colors were to be seen fly
ing from a house from which an Eng
lish trader had been driven out, and
the French officers there had uttered
brutally frank avowal OF their pur-
pose in that wilderness as they sat at
wine with the alert and temperate
young virginian. ut was their abso-
Lutte design" they said. ito take pos

they would do 1t. They were
sensible the English could raise two
men for their one. yet they knew their
motions were too slow and dllatory to
prevent any undertaking OF theirs"

The commandant at Fort lie Boeuf
received the wayworn ambassador
very courteously. and even graciously
"a thoughtful. elderly man, Washing
ton noted him. with much the air OF

fession even that he would consider
the Englich summons to withdraw;
and the little party of Englishmen
presently turned back amid the win
