Dutler Team Plays the Poorest
Game u Season.

-a- , ~
Before the largest crowd that
has turned out to see q ball game
m Butler in many years the home
team played the poorest game
they have played this year and of
course they lost.
Hupp pitched another good
game and should have won with
any sort of support, as Pleasanton
did not earn a run. Tfnk Ellis
pitched the last three innings but
1T was no use, the game was al
ready lost and the error habit had
too great a hold to be shaken off.
The home team outfield New
some, Caruthers and A. Ellis is
as good as any amateur bunch in
the country and take care of ev-
erything that comes their way.
Orear on third and Williams on
second played a fine game in the
field but had a bad day at the
bat.
The only local men to cross the
pan was Newsome in the sixth in
ming. He got long two Dagger
and advanced to third on a field
.er's choice and scored on a wild
pitch.
The boys want another chance
at Pleasanton and are sure they
can win. Manager Ellis is nego-
tiating with two new players,
both Of whom have had league ex-
perience and hopes to secure their
services for next Sundays game
with Appleton City.

WRONG YQ,UI.N|TO
GOT THE CHEESE J
Now the Right One Wants AZ
the B. & o. To Pay
For It.

One hundred and sevcnty.six pounds
of fragrant Rocquefort and cream
cheese was the interesting subject
under discussion In Judge Vincents
court today.
The case of cheese seems to have
been Shipped from New YORK
to Sam Yqufpto, who owned a store
in Bingamon. Bill Yquinto at Worth
ington took the cheese from the rail-
road compAny's office and sold It.
Sam Yquinto Is now suing the 3.
d o. for the value of the cheese,
which he claims he never received.
Sam Yuuinto Is IA tall swarthy Nea.
politan, and said that he is no. rela-
Cion to Bill Yquinto, who Is short aud
heavily built, and says he is q Cala-
brian. Soma of Bills testimony caused
much laughter in the court room wnen
he said that each attorney had threat
ened to have him arrested II he tine
attorney lost the case. Bills efforts
to please them both resulted IN MS
downfall and he appeared greatly re,
lieved when he received permission
to leave the witness stand.

was shut OF from the court room. The
witness for the railroad company was
then called and the sunlight returned
to the court room. This witness start
ed to make a speech in answer to one
aestion, but was stopped by the Court
before his address gained much mo-
mentum. One person in the court room,
however, missed all the diversion, and
the eclipse OF the sun as we'll; this
individual who, sitting comfortably
in chair by the door, slept notslly
throughout the morning.
< H. s. Lively was the attorney for
the B. &TO. while frank Amos repre-
scented the plaintiff.
The Jury in the case OF the City
OF Mannington vs., w. G. Johnson was
composed OF the following men: Sam.

Morgan, J. w. Provance, Chappy Nor
ris John ,C. Jacobs, Charles w. Rob
,inson, William o. Bailey. M. w. Nay,
Alph Curry, Walter Holbert and M,

This jury returned verdict early
in the morning in which they found
the defendant guilty as charged, in
the warrant issued by, the Manntngton
authorities. This decision upholds the
power OF the Mannington municipal
authorities to enforce ordinances
which do not conflict with the state
constitution.

task Of battling with an almost un'
precedented snow storm which has
.paralyzed rail communication, disor-
gantzed city life. held residents in
out lying sections, snow-bound. and
caused many thousands of dollars
damage to buildings which were not
strong enough to Withstand the weight
Of more than two and half feet Of
snow on their roofs.
With continued cold weather and
more snow in prospect the outlook
is not promising today for early re.
sumption OF normal conditions. All
roads are tied up by snow in the
mountain passes and railroad officials
have abandoned hope OF raising the
blockade until the storm ends. In
Seattle and other cities, street car
lines are compl etely blocked by snow.
Schools have closed and business Is
practically suspended. awaiting the
end OF the storm.
The greatest single losses from
the storm occurred in Seattle where

dral collapsed under the weight OF
snow yesterday causing damage to
the edifice Of $4,000. y.

BERLIN, Feb. 3.-Accosding to the
records Of the sick insurance Office
Of Berlin it appears that the with
drawals of workmen from employment
in shops and factories for war duty
last year were far less numerous than
had been generally believed. Espe.
cially was the reduction slight In the
and the Oldest classes Of
men subject to military duty. Thus
workmen between II and 20 years old
on January l, 1915. 15.2
per cent. of all the names on the lists,
but by october / they had been reduc-
ed only to 14.6 per cent. The reduc.
tion for the class between Al and 45
years was from s.s@to 7.5 per cent.
Even for all the classes subject to
military duty the average reduction
for the nine months was only about 8
per cent. It'll a remarkable fact that
even now the class Of young men be:
tween. 81 and rs Isl larger than yany
other one in the shops and factories
Of Berlin. constituting '15.5 per cent:
of ali the names listed.

Post Office Inspector G. NJ: Menscn
of Washington, D. c., arrived at the
post office at Rivesville yesterday and
after thorough investigation came
to the conclusion that the robbery
was committed by, band Of profes-
sionals which have been operating In
the towns in this section. Mr.. Mensch
thinks that the robberies at Lumber;
port and Ltttleton post Offices were
done by the same gang.
The Rivesville post Office was rob.
bed some time Saturday night. The
robbery was discovered Monday morn
ing and tae county authorities sent
the Musgrove bloodhounds to the
scene, but they were unable to pick
up scent. The county officers went
to RivesVille at the same time, but
no trace Of robbers could be found.
Postoffice Inspector Mensch left
last night for Lumberport and Little
ton. where he will investigate the rob
berries Of both postoffices, after which
he will stay in this territory working
