TO CHINOOK

Afternoon.

ers' Battle Between. Benson and
Navarro.

In two of the fastest games of base
ball ever witnessed on the local dia-
mond, Chinook defeated the local team
by scores of to / and to 6 Sunday
afternoon.
Despite the cloudy weather and the
few local showers preceding the first
game, large crowd attended. Just
before the game was ready to start,
black cloud came up suddenly from
the west and delayed the game for a
short time.
The first game was pitchers bat
tie between Benson and Navarro, nei-
ther team being able to do anything
with their offerings. Benson held the
Chinook team hitless for eight innings,
and although he passed five men, he
was very effective with men on bases.
Navarro, pitching for Chinook
struck out sixteen men and did not
give base on balls, twirling in ex-
cellent form at all stages of the game.
In the seventh inning Glasgow scor-
ed their lone run and the first in the
game when Chouinard reached first
on felder's choice, stole second and
scored on Bardill's single. In the
ninth Chinook evened matters up and
added another run in the tenth, which
won the game.
In the tenth, with two men on bas-
es, Nick Hahn was put in to bat for
Bretzke, but he failed to deliver, and
the game ended with the score to /
in Chinook's favor.

on which they have lived and made
improvements during the years which
have elapsed since the land was with
drawn from entry.
On May II of this year the sur
vey plats for this land filed in the
local land Office and large number
of filings by individuals went in at
that time, some filing in the hope of
defeating through court procedure,
the states right to the land and others
filing in the hope the that the state
would not select the land embraced
in their entry. But the real excite
ment did not break until the first of
this week, when the states selection,
made last Friday, was generally made
known.
In the entire segregation the state
left 1852, 900 upon which it did not file
and the battle to obtain a portion of
this land has been waging this week
with perseverance worthy of the
German armies.
Down in township 81, range 43, the
state left a great deal of excellent
land upon which it did not file and it
is in that township that the battle of
stakes and shacks seems to be the
most aggressive. There are half Sec
tions of land down there upon which
with an equal number of filings, and
there are no less than five shacks,
it is said that some of the corners
there look like healthy picket fence
with the stakes of the numerous claim
ants to the land.
Over in section 10, above township
and range, there is large gentleman
of ethiopian lineage asserting his
claim to fine half-section of Uncle
Sans domain and he has already dug
cellar, on his selection-"Ah knows
they all CANT say I want heah when
they all sees this cellah," explained
the colored gentleman to a Reporter
representative the first of the week.
Over in section one of the same town.
ship there was a gentleman named
Russell who had the south half of that
section staked out and was holding
down his claim with the sole help of
buggy cushion, couple of blankets
and tin pail. He expected the lum-
ber for his shack in couple of days
and was staying right on the job tc
ward off possible contenders.
The mere stalking of a claim down
there, unless Immediately followed by
actual settlement, is being totally ig.
nored and scorned by the land hun
CRY and in great many cases they
move right on and add their shacl
to the one or more already on the
land.
There has been a wee bit of gur
play but no considerable amount of il
feeling has been in evidence to date
The gun play occurred few nights
ago on homestead over east of Av
ondale when the first squatter on tn,
