COUNTY ROAD ENGINE
BOUGHT BY CITY

After an inspection OF the work done
by the county road outfit on Wheelock
street, the City Council has decided to
buy the steam road engine at $500,
to be taken out in monthly water,
light and sewer rentels. While the
engine would have brought more IL
sold to outside parties, the county
could readily afford to make the deal
with the city, as ii is really a part of
the county.
The steam road engine was a failure
on the county roads. owing to the
great expense of hauling water and
fuel to the more remote portions of
the county The Commissioners Court
Is contemplating the purchase of one
and perhaps two oil engines. The vari-
GUS oil agencies In the city will haul
and deliver oil at any point in the
county at, the same price il is sold
wholesale. and in this way The court
figures, the county may be saved many
dollars.
The county has agreed to loan the
city its graders until a new engine
arrives. The Council was of the opin-
ion that the terms are so reasonable
the city can take the machine and fix
up the city streets at once.

D0WNED HEARNE
Home Team Defeated Visitors in Most
Closely Contested Game Ever
Played on Local Diamond.

The Dixie and Hearne teams crossed
bats yesterday in one of the fastest
baseball games that was ever seen on
a local diamond. The Dixie was win
ner by to l score. The game lasted
only an hour and was battle between
the pitchers, Spell for Bryan, who
struck out nine men, and Brown for
Hearne, who struck out six. Very
few balls were knocked out OF the
diamond, and each team made only
two hits and two errors.
Preston made one run, stole four
bases, and scored as a runner for
Conway.
Johnson's pegging to the bases was
good and his catching was remarkable.
Conway proved the hitter of the day,
and in fact the whole team played
such a mastery game that the task of
players individually is i'm.
possible unless the whole team is in.
cluded.
Brown, the Hearne pitcher, is
Bremond man. it is said. but our anna
teurs can not be beat. The crowd was
rather disappointing. Bryan has a
team that is worthy of support, and
the town can afford to take a pride
in its success
Next Tuesday the Dixies will play
the married mems team on the Allen
Academy grounds, The admission will |
be only Is cents and everybody is
arged to see the game.
