Mlndens Meat Again
The game of base ball yesterday after
noon between the home team and the
Miuden club was in some respects one of
the moijt remarkable ever -played in this
section of Nebraska- Minden made six
runs threepf JjhSm in the second in
ning when aVrtunate hit bv Cardwell
over the wtyt fence with two men on
base5jrought in three scores The
thrpS runs by McCook were each home
runs Pitcher Jones being responsible
for two of them Of the total of nine
runs miide eight of them were earned
runs There were comparatively few
errors that of Cooley in the second in
ning being the only costly one and per
haps cost McCook the game Burneys
work at the bat was very indifferent but
tor the most part it was a superb game
and the home club put up a splendid
game It was McCooks misfortune not
to nave any one on the bases when the
three home runs were made and Mindens
fortune to have two men on bases when
the only home run they had was made

Vorth Coleman Drowned
The hearts of Mr and Mrs Will T
Coleman were terribly lacerated Tues
day by a brief telegram from Mr Sha
fer announcing the accidental drowning
of their son Worth who has been up in
that country for some time Mr Cole
man left for Wyoming Wednesday on 1
The affair is thus reported by the sheep
inspector of Wyoming
Leckie Wyoming Aug 31 1901
Mr Charles Coleman
McCook Nebraska
Dear sir I have some very sad news
to relate to you
Worth Coleman was drowned forty
miles north and west of here in a lake
that forms the head of the west fork of
Boulder creek on the 23rd inst
He was in the employ of Leonard
Sedgwick a Rock Springs sheep man
as camp mover It seems that he be
come lost from the outfit on the night of
the 22nd and the next morning he left
he left his pack horses at the opening on
the trail and started back on his saddle
horse to find the foreman and the
herder as he supposed they had been
out all night with nothing to eat
About a mile back he met another
outfit coming out of the mountains told
his story and went 09 That was the
last seen of him alive Thedake where
we found the body being about half a
mile distance
The foreman and the herder came
out to opening found their pack horses
and the next morning the saddle horse
came to them with the saddle blankets
soaked wet That was all they seemed
to think of When they had their
horses they came on to Lamareux
MTeadows a distance of 25 miles
Word came out to Leckie on the 28th
that the boy was lost and I with four
others started Dack to find him going
to the Meadows that night The herder
quit and joined us the next morning in
the search saying that he did not want
to work any longer for such an outfit
On the 30th we found the body in the
lake laying about 20 feet from the edge
in about IS feet of water We built a
raft and recovered the body and buried
it near the lake It seems he had tried
to go around a cliff of rock that projects
into the lake and in doing so got into
swimming water and became dislodged
from the horse
There were no marks on the body to
indicate anything but accidental drown
ing
Please explain to your brother that if
he conies here I will give him all the
particulars I am at his service
A line to Pacific will reach me for 30
days Leckie is a postoffice 30 miles
from South Pass Pacific is a postoffice
12 miles from South Pass
Truly yours
