returned home Sunday evening and
brought their $350 prize with them.
The following telegram was received
Saturday morning from W. J. Tiley.
"Won iocond place over entire con
test, 96 points awarded us. On account
of cheering two numbers of the drill,
the team failed to hear a command and
lost us three points. Otherwise old

percent. After the contest, the drill
team were marched to the Suery
hotel, the finest hotel in Iown, ond were
served with a sumptuout banquet "
Fourteen teams entered for the
prizes offered and all drilled very good.
Ten prizes were given. The North
Platte team is to be commended for the
showing they made and it is a big ad
vertisement for this city. Dr. T. J.
Kerr is captain of the local team and
their victory is due to the hard drilling
he put them through. But for one or
two slight accidents the locals would
have scored with Oklahoma city.

was defcatedSunday by the North
Platte team on the local diamond by n
score of twenty-three to six. ' The
gnmo was slow, devoid of sensational
features, but prominent for the errors,
the greater number of which
were taxed up to the visitors. The at
tendance was fairly large, and while
the crowd was not enthnsiastic it ap
plauded all the good plays made. The
visitors proved that as ball players
they are inferior to the local talent.

vote now being taken by the 75,000
engineers and firemen on tlio roads
west; of Chicago on the proposition of
withdrawing from service unless the
companies accede to their demands, is
almost unanimous in favor of with
drawing. As the ballot is secret, it is
difficult to guess how this eastern paper
gets information. It is safa to predict
that a. strike of such magnitudo will
not occur; the government and the
public generally will insist upon media
