No game was played to-day. A veri'a-
ble cloudburst cut short the practice anu
drove the men to cover The day was
not wasted. however, as before the ram
fell every man on the team went through
a gruelling drill in batting and fielding.
Chance Paid particular attention TO inc
batting practice The regulars faced the
pjtchers ir order. with Midkiff and Young
tackled on as extras, and they stepped 10
the plate one after the other, a dozen
times at least. Chance did not spare MS
pitchers. either and worked them so nara
that they were not sorry when the ram
put an end to the days work.
Barring accidents, George McConneli
will pitch against the Superbas IN the
exhibition game which will mark TIE
opening of F.bbets Field. i'm Brooklyn. on
Saturday, while Midkiff will play second
base, if Hal Chase is unable To cover the
bag. The last named is still suffering
slightly from his wrenched ankle.
The men appear to be in good condition
for the opening Of the season, but Chance
SAYS that he would like 10 have one more
week to put on the finishing touches. The
players have enjoyed the training trp
here. but most of them will be glad TO
get back TO New York.

Twenty Dollar Wolf Bounty.

If the state of Iowa will only put
up a bounty of $4,000 for each
skin of a wolf killed in Iowa, it will
be an immense aid to the sheep in
dustry of the state. This is the view
of the members of the Iowa sheep
breeders and wool growers associa-
ton which is backing the Bean bill
that was before the last legislature
proposing such an increase in the
bounty on wolves. The presence of
wolves is declared to be the most SER
ious obstacle in the raising of sheep
in the state. The number of wolves
is said to be larger than it was few
years ago. The sheep breeders also
want material Improvement in the
law providing for payment by the
owner of dogs of taxes that will go
into fund to be paid to owners of
sheep that are injured by dogs. This,
also is a matter of vital concern to
the sheep growers of the state.

Girl Killed; Brother Hurt.

Clarion, Iowa, Dec. 3O.-Mildred
Anderson, Is years old, was killed
and her brother, Alfred, 16 years old,
was badly injured when a buggy in
which they were riding was struck
by a Chicago Great Western train
last night.
The girl died at four o'clock this
morning after night of intense suf-
fering from conclusion of the brain.
The boy is still unconscious from a
fractured skull and probably will die.
The boy and his sister were en-
route to party when the buggy in
which they were riding was hit by
the train at eight o'clock. The side
curtains were on the buggy and it is
not believed that they saw the ap-
preaching train. The body of the
girl was thrown sixteen rods, while
that of the boy was tossed aside. The
remains of the buggy were still ON
the pilot when the train reached the
station. The horse escaped with but
a few scratches!

Red Car a Capital skater.

Springville, Ia, Dec. 30.-A cur
iouS and rather amusing accident, if
an accident can be amusing to the
other fellow, happened on Christ
mas afternoon on Artesian Lake at
which place the skaters were making
merry.
Frank Jordan, of the firm of Geo.
L. Jordan & Son, stock dealers, was
out joy riding in his big red car and
came down to the shore of the lake.
His young friends dared him to come
on the ice with his car. Frank does
not take dare on a festive day and
SO pushed his auto on the ice. When
he had gone about the right distance
assisted by all his friends pushing
and pulling, the ice gave way and in
a minute Frank thought immersion
was the sure baptismal doctrine. The
car went out of sight into eight feet
of water and danger signals were
erected to guard the skaters. The
Maine" was raised at some expense
and foated and Mr.. Jordan is plan
ming to float his car. He got his
trousers wet and rejoices that it was
no worse.
