Tho North Platto ball team broke even in Cheyenne, losing Saturday's game by a scoro of four to ono and winning Sunday'B game by a scoro of fivo to four. Tho Choyonno team was composed of tho bast players of the city and of Ft. Russell, and that the North Platto team won from such an aggre gation is certainly to their credit. Conductor IV. E.
