The game was one of the best contested games that has been played in these parts for a long time. For the first five , innings on either side there was no .run made and in the sixth inning the Julian team succeeded in making three runs, but that was the last for them during the game. The seventh and eighth inning showed no change and with the conclusion of the ninth inning the Union team made a run and this placed the final result &s Julian 3 and Union 1. While the boys from here were defeated, no one can help but say that they made a good showing, when the other team was shut out for six Inning3. The line up for Union was: R Davis cf, JEarl Wolfe ?,b, Dave Eaton lb. Bob Eaton p. Glen Kline c, Bruce Wolfe ss. Fred Kline 2b, John Pearsley If. Derwood Lynde rf. The Julian line ud was: J. Col lins ss. H. Lovgne If. R. Hodgins 3b. L. Graham rf. J. Tyson c. H. John son 2b. C. Wilberger cf. C. Stucken holtz p, H.' Stuckenholtz lb. em Iowa, cm a charge of conspiring to defeat the ends of justice by run ning off a witness in a criminal case in that court. Judge T. C. Munger of Lincoln, acting as a judge of the court of appeals, wrote the reversal. Under it Harrington is practiecllv acquitted, and all defendants get new trial ordered. The case was a sensational one, largely because of the prominence of Harrington." The charge was that Harrington, his son Gerald, Arthur W. Scattergood, Mrs. Frances Murphy and Leonard Camp assisted in trying to break down a white slave charge against Charles T. Anderson, a sli cnt of Scattergood. Gerald Harring ton was acquitted, but the others were convicted. It was charged that they had secured written statements from the girl in the case, Mary Pitt man, which would be contradictory of testimony given by her before the grand jury, and then planned to have her sent to Canada or concealed so that she could not be subpoenaed as a witness. Scattergood is also a Nebraska at-! torney. The circuit court judge says that the charge In the third count. vpon which a conviction was had. charge3 a conspiracy in the southern division cf the Iowa district, when there is no testimony that Anderson. Harrington or Mrs. Murphy entered into any conspiracy in that division. either with each other or with Scat tergood or Camp, and a verdict of ac- rjuittal should have been directed in their favor on that count. The court says there was testi mony to show that Scattergood called on Mrs. Pittman at Creston, Iowa, and endeavored to get from her a statement in contradiction of her tes timony before the grand jury, but that Scattergood was privileged to Washington. Aug. 16. Less than 1 per cent of more than 24,000.000 men registered under the draft dur ing the war have been found charge able with wilful insertion, the war department announced today. The total against whom desertion charges have been recorded is 1.S11, rep resenting, the statement says, "a tre mendous improvement over the Iraft record of the civil war." The de partment will soon announce liu.sr? branded as .deserters and the state-: ment adds that the government "de- j sires to obtain co-operation of state and local officials, patriotic societies I and other agencies including the de- their apprehension." Pending the publication, the state ment continues, any man charged with desertion may avoid arrest by surrendering at an army post. If i his record is cleared his name will be ! omitted from the deserter list. Those in doubt as to their status are urged ' to inquire of the adjutant general. I The list was compiled after local ' boards had been instructed to send in records of all men classed as draft draft deserters during the war. A total of 4S9.033 records were for warded, but on examination it was shown 16,000 dealt with cases dis pose dof. They included registrants who enlisted voluntarily and failed to notify their draft board; men who failed to report when drafted and who reported at the camps; few men discharged as physically unfit and some convicted of desertion during the war and regisirants who died. The records in 151,000 other cases also showed wilful desertion co;ld not be charged and they were eliminated. The statement says that because of th eexpense which would be in curred, payment of the $50 reward for apprehension of draft deserters has been temporarily suspended.
