A Good Xftll Game.
Cheyenne defeated tbc Union
PaciticB Wednesday afternoon on
the home grounds by a score of six
to live. The game wan an interest
ing one from start to finish and the
five hundred spectators present
felt that they had received the ful
worth of the admission tec. While
there were no sensational plays
the game was one of good steady
playing, in which but few errors
were made.
The Cheyenne team is the strong
est that has played on the local
grounds this season. They are
hard hitters, and by reason of the
large number of games played their
team work is excellent, Glaze,
who occupied the box for the visit
ore, is a cracker-jack pitcher and
held down the locals to three hits.
'rue union I'acttica played a
strong all around game, but unfor-
unately the few .errors they made
were costly ones and through these
the game was lost. Pendergraft,
the new pitcher for the locals, made
his first appearance on the home
grounds in this game and Ins work
called forth many complimentary
remarks.
Though they failed to win the
game, the Union Pacifies are en
titled to much credit for making
the game as close ub it proved.
Had the Cheyennes put Simmons in
the box instead of Glaze the game
would have been won by the locals.
The score by innings:
Cheyenne 1 0 0 1 0 0 3 0 16
North Platte.. 1 0 0 0 0 2 0 0 2-5

A Liucolu telegram states that
an appeal to the supreme court has
been taken by the state in its case
case against the official bondsmen
of ex-State Treasurer Bartley. A
decision was rendered on June 24
in the district court of Douglas
county and judgment was entered
against only a part of the bonds
men. The attorney general ap
peals from the judgement of the
owcr court on the grounds that it
erred in rendering' judgment in

sustained by tbc evidence and that
it 1b contrary to the insructions of

Seven more deputy game war
dens have been appointed by the

Lord High Game Warden, Mr.
Simpkins, who has pointed out

game warden for each wild animal

and deputy game wardens, the
commonwealth is providing for its
children in great shape. There 1b
now a crying demand for a navy
department at Lincoln, to regulate
the action of tbc steamers, cruisers
and gun boats on the Blue and
Platte rivers. Such a department
would turnisb places for many
commodores, rear admirals and
chaplains, and the boat owners on
the rivers named wonld never
know the difference. There is also
a crying demand for a pig inspec
tor. We recently purchased a pig
and it died for want of vermifuge.
People who sell pigs should be
obliged to Bubmit their stock to
qualified inspectors tor careful ex
amination. Walt Mason.

Thats about what they have to do

They become so addled with the
