CLOSED the fact that a guest in re-
firing had disposed of a cigar
stub in such a manner that his

had caught fire. A suit of per-
fectly good clothes damaged to- the
point where they were no longer of
use, something of fright to other
guests of the place and a small

|still has a good deal of the real
stuff left. Waddel has starred in
every league Of consequence in the
country. In baseball he is an in

ability as a player has kept him
on some of the best teams in. the
best leagues in the business under
circumstances with which every
fan is we'll familiar. Waddel beat
Superior last week and his team
mates say he had everything.
In Schimmons recently signed
by Shannon, the management be-

the season has been made. Up to
"Wednesday Schimmons had work.

one of the stellar pitchers of the
League.
The team passed through the city
Monday evening on its way to VIM
nipeg and was greeted by quite a
delegation at the depot. They re-
:.rn from Grand Forks, where they
work today, tomorrow and Sunday.
The Virgmians will Return to a
city firmly under the spell of base
ball interest and enthusiasm. The
game has never before aroused the
Interest here that it is arousins
this season. With favorable wea-
Lhtr it is expected that the biggest
crowds ever assembled in any
town on the range to witness a
baseball game will be here during
next week. The interest in the
club is not local and the fans of
practically all the towns ON the
range are taking a lot of interest
in the team and will all be here

airy /. this year. TO June 30. and shows
that during that time there were iiled
20 S67 judgments, 40. or 3i per cent. OF
which were from The Bronx; 1884 lis
pendens, l.1S4. or 43.5 per cent. OF which
