SANDERS BOTTOM SEVERELY
INJURED IN BASE BALL GAME

An unfortunate accident occurred
in the seventh inning of the base
ball game at Loveloek. Saturday,
between boys of the Fallon gram
mar school and the Lovelock school
team. Sanders Bottom who was
catching for the Fallon boys was run
into at home plate by an opposing
player who was trying to score and
suffered a severe injury to the bone
of his leg just above the knee. An
examination of the injury was made
Immediately and it was discovered
that while the bone was not exactly
broken the growing end was loosen
ed from the knee joint and may
cause the lad to be laid up for some
time.
The two teams we're evenly match
ed and the game was tie in the
seventh inning with a score of 16
to 16. The Lovelock boys finally
made another run in the tenth in

The Syndicate well is down TO
depth of 2S40 feet and is considered
the only hole in the field at the
