Following is the Bismarck Gazette's
account of the ball game played be-
tween Pilot Knob and Bismarck at
Bismarck June 9Th: "Pilot Knob fair
ly chewed up our team last Sunday,
winning by a score of 10 to 5. Both
teams we're retired in quick order in
the first inning, but the visitors scor'
ed two runs in the second and two in
the third innings. The fourth and
fifth went scoreless, but made five
runs In each the sixth and seventh in
ming, and added another tally in the
ninth for good measure. Bismarck
scored their first run in the sixth in
ming and two in the seventh. Barnes
and Robertson pitched for the Knob
and were found for seven hits. Will
son of Potosi pitched for Bismarck,
and with good support would have
held the visitors down to a few runs.
He struck out Is men and allowed 10
hits, but more than half of these came
after the side should have been retir-
ed, by sharper fielding"

THE tidal wave which swept down

1875 that Rutherford b. Hayes himself
never was confident Of his success.
Nor was the country surprised to read
In the headlines the morning after cleo.
ton that Tilden, the Democratic candi-
date. had won the race.
The Republican national headquar-
ters in New York city shut up shop
early election night, and the Repub-
lican campaign managers went to bed
resigned to defeat.
Tilden was elected on the face Of
the returns, with 20S electoral votes
to 100 for Hayes. and had also q
plurality Of 25O.OOO in the popular vote.
His election indeed rested on the same
basis as Clevelands in 1884 and Will
sons in 1915. But in 1876 the Repub-
licians had not yet acquiesced in the
suppression Of the negro vote In the
South. And II the negroes had not

"The only ground for absolute eX-

The committee condemns specifi-
cally under the property tax any

WOMAN HAD NARROW
ESCAPE WHEN HOUSE
BU RN Ed SATURDAY

A frame house, located in the 800
block Of A street, northeast and
owned by c. p, Hall, caught fire at
about 3:l5 o'clock this morning and
was almost totally destroyed before
the blaze was gotten under control.
Tho loss is estimated at about
$iS00.
According to n statement made by
one of the tenants OF the building,
whose name could not be learned,
she was about TO light gas range
In the kitchen of her apartment,
when II appeared that the whole
room became envcloped in flames. Her
hair was singed, but she managed
TO escape without suffering serious
injury. There are about four fam.
lies living In the apartments. and
Immediately after the alarm was
given. they made quick exit TO the
street. some OF them being scanuly
clad.
IL Is believed that there was a leak
In the stove connections which had
caused the room to be filled with gas.
The firemen were hampcrcd In
their operations at the fire, on nc
count Of the fact that the nearest
fire plug had been jammed by an
automobile truck during the early
part OF tho week, and as n result,
the hose connection there could not
bc made. The fircmen were forced
to connect the hose TO a plug two
blocks away.
