were greatlv shocked last evening
to learn that he hail passed away
at the home of his parents in the

ly. The death of Mr. Perry o
curred about " o'clock and came
as a result of what seems to have
been a stroke of paralysis that

around the house all morning- and
about 11:30 started out with the
apparent intention of coming
down town, and had onlv taken a
few steps from the doorway when

the other members of the family,
who were down town, were tele
phoned for, as well as a physi
cian, and the unfortunate young
man was carried into the house.
I'pon the arrival of the physician
it was found that tin attack had
apparently paralyzed the jaws of
the younsr man, as it was impos-
ible to get them open to allow
the giving of medicine. He re
mained in this condition until the

ago and had made his home dur
ing all his lifetime here, receiving
lis education in the schools of
this city. He was a young man
well liked by all who knew him
est, and of a generous and kindly
nature, and it may well be said of
lini that no one ever received an
injury from him in any word or
leed. His sorrowing parents and
family will receive the sympathy

BLACK KATS BATTLE
WITH THE RED SOX
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
One of the most successful of
the amateur base ball teams in
Omaha, this season has been the
Black Kats, and this speedy or
ganization has been secured as
the attraction for Sunday next at
the Red Sox park, when they will
attempt to grab one from the lo
cals to add to their list of vic
tories. The Ulack Kats have the
reputation of being good, clean
cut ball players, and their ap
pearance here is certain to at
tract a large number of the fans.
With the showing that the Red
Sox have made against the strong
tcrfms from the metropolis they
have an even break on the chances
of winning with any of the visit
ing teams and will be able to give
a good account of themselves. At
f.rst it was thought that one of
the teams from the Cass County
league might be secured for Sun
day, but a majority of .the fans
seemed to favor the Omaha ball
tossers.

Miss Vivian, of near Union, drove
up this morning from their home
to look after some business mat
ters here for the day. Miss
Everett is attending the teachers'
examination at the office of the

but as the rain traveled north it
grew lighter until in this city the
ground was just dampened by the

WAR IN CASS
COUNTY RASE
BALL LEAGUE
Man ley and Cedar Creek Teams
Get Into a Battle Royal Sunday
at Cedar Creek.
The Cass County league, that
for the lirst few weeks of the base
hall season seemed to flourish
and looked like a sure winner, is
about to be numbered among the
things that were, as the result of
the disorder and "rough house"
methods that has prevailed
iniiong the different teams of the
eague.
Two weeks ago Sunday the
dar Creek and Mauley teams
ame together at Mauley in a game
and at the close of it, so the rnein-
ers of the team claim. Rockwell,
l member of the Mauley team, al-
acked John-Wolff, one of the
3edar Creek team, hitting him
several times. WollV, so it is
claimed, warned the Manley lad
not to come over to Cedar Creek,
is he would surely get in bad with
the good people, and also with a
man named Wolff. The Mauley
earn, however, did not heed the
warning, and Sunday moved into
dar Creek, Rockwell accom
tanying the team. All went well
until after the game, which Cedar
ireek won by a score of 7 to 0.
md as the Manley team started to
eave the grounds, the dogs of
war became released, and for a
few minutes the Austria-Servian
rouble- appeared small compared
with that which prevailed among
these usually peaceful Cass coun-
y citizens. Wolff, so it is alleged
in a warrant secured this morning
from Judge Archer by Leo Tighe
and William Rockwell, proceeded
o place the left "lamp"' of Rock
well out of business by several
well placed blows, and the ap
pearance of the young man here
oday bore out his contention.
Tighe was put down and out by
receiving what he claims was a
j low on the back of Ihe neck from
a base ball bat in the hands of
some of the Cedar Creek bunch.
The warrants issued by Judge
Archer were served on Messrs.
Wolff and William Schneider,
who were named as defendants by
the Manley boys, and they appear
ed in court this afternoon to an
swer to the charges against them.
nit on account of the absence of
their attorney from the city were
compelled to take a continuance.
The case will be set for tomorrow-
morning at 11 o'clock. II is like-
v that the trial will prove most
nteresting, as the defendants will
probably fight the case.
CEDAR CREEK BALL
CASE IS CONTINUED TO
MONDAY. AUGUST 3
The case covering the light that
occurred at Cedar Creek Sunday
afternoon, following a game of
jase ball between Cedar Creek and
Manley, and in which several
members of the different teams
were involved, was supposed to
lave had an airing this morning
efore Justice Archer, but it wa
impossible for all the parties in
terested to reach her and the
case, was continued until Monday
morning, August 3, at 10 o'clock.
t is quite probable that there will
e a large number from both
towns in attendance at the hear
ing of the case. John Wolff and
Claude Rand are charged with as
sault and battery on one Floyd
toekwell, and Walter Schneider
with assault and battery on the
person of Leo Tighe. There was
quite a number to hear tht case
this morning", who were disap
pointed at its beinj? continued.
