morning, taking breakfast at the Pacific.
Mr. Hanlan is enroute to Australia where
he will row Beach who won from him
n 1884 the title of champion. Swung to
the roof of the baggage car was Hanlan's
boat, one that he considers a daisy. It is
made of Canadian white cedar, 10
inches wide, 31 feet 5 inches long, 5
inches deep in the center, 3-inches at
the how, 2 at the stern and weighs but
twenty-six pounds, including row locks
and all. Harlan is quite confident of his
ability to beat Beach.
Cheyenne vs. North Platte.
Three, hundred people heard umpire
Fitzgerald call "game" at the fair grounds
Saturday afternoon when the home team
aced the Uhevenne players. Previous to
he game many of our people seemed to
think that the time had come when the
North Plattes would suffer their first
defeat of the season, but as the game pro
ceeded it was evident that they had
caught another pudding. The game was
by no means a brilliant one, the visitors
making numerous wild throws and letting
in a number of scores. In the third in
ning Erswell was put in the box by the
visitors, a move that proved a mistake, as
the home boys hit him hard and scored
ten runs. The score was:
123456789
Cheyenne 4 0 0 0 5 0 0 1 212
North Platte 2 2105 4 0 0 3 329
Sunday's game was almost a repetition
of the proceeding day; the Cheyennes
making fewer wild throws and the home
team more errors. White occupied the
box for the North Plattes and kept the
Cheyennes down to eleven base hits, by
the way it may be here remarked that the
visitors are the heaviest hitters that have
played here this season, Rapp being a
regular ball paralyzer. The score by in
nings was:
123456789
Cheyenne 1 4 1 0 0 1 0 4 011
North Platte 6 1 4 0 2 2 0 3 018
Foul Tips.
"The North Plattes do more kicking
among themselves than any club I ever
saw," remarked a traveling man Sunday,
and those who heard him concurred in
the verdict It's about time the boys
should cease their kicking.
The Cheyenne boys, with two excep
tions, are pleasant gentlemen and knew
how to conduct themselves both on the
diamond and off. The two exceptions
are hot-headed and their tongues gets
away with their brain.
Jerry Stapleton umpired Sunday's
game and did his duty throughout, giving
entire satisfaction to both nines.
Though the average spectator would
scarcely believe it, Dallas leads the batt
ing record of the home team and manages
to get around the diamond oftener than
any other player.
Kapp, of the Cheyennes, and O'Neil of
the home team, both made clean three
baggers in Sunday's game. It is to be re
gretted that O'Neil refuses to play regu
larly, as he is one of our most brilliant
players.

TheB. & M. surveyors are still at
work north of us. They are experienc
ing some difficulty in getting a desirable
route, in a direct line west of Snake creek
to Wyoming, and we learn have not 'yet
decided on a location from Uroncho lake
west The information is that they are
surveying on tne divide between snake
creek and Bed Willow, so the changes
are that we may have a railroad located
near us this fall. Minatare Trumvet.
Frank and Perry Scott while preparing
to leave for the North river Sunday morn
ing, were the victims, of a very painful
but fortunately not dangerous accident.
They had just purchased a half pound of
powder and some tin pans of the hard
ware store, and dropped the powder into
one of the pans. The bright tin reflected
the sun's heat to the powder! and the
result was an explosion. The boys were
pretty badly burned about the face and
eyes but no scars will be left Kimball

Not a few of our
complaining of the
charges of the U. P. road from Omaha
over the charges asked by the B. & M.
road. There is a difference in the rates
of these roads from Omaha to Ogallala
and Grant of eleven cents on the hundred.
As times are dull and many are wanting
work with their teams, the goods for this
place can be freighted to Grant and then
drawn here by teams cheaper than they
can get it over tho U. P. road, and unless
the managers of the road make some
changes soon this mode will be adopted.

There might have been seen alighting
from Sunday noon's train, from the east, a
handsomely and neatly dressed lady, of
perhaps thirty-three years, accompanied
by two children. The lady and children
were met by a person, who had evidently
been waiting for them, placed in a con
venient carriage, the horses whipped up,
and the outfit disappeared over the great
bridge across the Platte leading east.
The lady was the wife of Doc Middleton,
the one time famous Nebraska outlaw and
desperado, and she was going to join her
husband on the grade of the new railroad,
about twenty miles from Sterling, where
the renowned ex-outlaw, our informant
tells us; is conducting a saloon in connec
tion with Mr. uriffin. Doc Middleton
did several years service for the State of
Nebraska and is now a free and, friends
say, reformed man. Sterling Advocate.

He lay there without assistance; another

to have lost bis head completely. Noth

out of State militia, much less a requisi

The Jicpubliban concludes. "If it were
not that Colorado has no money in her
treasury to pay for such fun the whole
business would be very amusing. If it
were not that the State has been injured
in the opinion of the East, from which it
must draw both immigration and capital,

overheated Adjutant-General in encour

incident, the matter might be dissmissed
as a passing lolly." Omaha Republican.
