Here's what the Gregory Times haste to say about the Norfolk-Gregory ball game which ended In a row last week : The champions went down to Nor folk Friday and played the Norfolk team to a standstill , neither side being able to score in the seven Innings , when our boys refused to play without a new umpire , as Howe , of Norfolk , had given them a rotten deal all along , calling men out who were clearly safe. Every time Gregory got a man on third he would call strikes until he retired the side. Norfolk never got a man to third and didn't have a look In. Greg ory outplayed them at every point , but couldn't beat the ump and the game broke up In a row over a decision. Gregory objected to Howe going in before the game started , but the Nor folk management promised a square deal and to change If he gave any rank decisions , but when the pinch came they wouldn't do It. The ump calls the game forfeited to Norfolk 9 to 0. The break came over a decision at third. One man was out , Haak of Norfolk was on second and Anderson on first , when the batter hit to Gra ham , who was near the line between second and third , and when he at tempted to touch the runner out Haak ran ten feet out of the line to avoid him , whereupon Graham threw to first , knowing that Haak was out under the rules for running out of the lines , but Howe called him safe. Our team refused to go on with Howe In the game , although Norfolk offered to call the man out on third because our boys knew that they jusl couldn't get a fair deal from Howe who had it In for Gregory on account of some past grievance. Lightning at Gregory. Gregory Times : During the storm Friday night a bolt of lightning struck the Al Walton house about 2 o'clock in the morning and seemed to go over the whole house , as every room waf damaged to some extent. It struck the chimney and went into the partitior between the hall and the boys' roon and it burst out on both sides , the main bolt going through the boys room , striking a bureau which stoo < against the wall , tearing the glass and top off , then jumped across the boys bed in a big ball of fire right over the boys and burst out through the wall tea a woven wire trellis which ran to the ground. The boys' bed is Iron and i is thought that the only thing that saved them was that they were sleeu Ing on a feather bed. Another bol1 went down through the floor from a post of Mr. and Mrs. Walton's bed ant threw plaster over the children sleep Ing on the floor down stairs. Before going down it broke two lamps on the table , one of them being lit at the time , but went out when struck. If 1' ' had not there would have been a tei rlble flre , as the oil was scattered ill over the room. One bolt went out through the gable and one followed the ridge , going down the northwest edge of the roof , ripping a path about a foot wide through the shingles. The strangest part of all Is that none of the family was hurt and not one got a shock. On Saturday night a bolt struck the upper story of the land office about the middle of the south side , and tore the frame of one of the big windows to pieces , but not breaking a glass. No damage appears at all on the other side. The bolt must have gone out on the telephone wires , which were at tached to this window sill as the two bare ends of the connecting wires of fered a ready escape for It. Rocky Boy to Dakota. Faulkton , S. D. , Aug. 13. To Professor ser J. F. Armstrong of this place is assigned the duty by the Interior de partment to proceed to Helena , Mont. , where ho will take charge of Chief Rocky Boy's band of 120 Chlppewa In dians , and at once make arrangements for the transportation of the tribe and all their belongings to territory some 400 miles distant from Helena. Arriv ing at their new home , his duty will be to allot members of the band un occupied lands according to Instruc tions which he has received from the interior department. During the past few years Rocky Boy and the members of his band have given the United States authori ties more trouble than any other band of Indians In the United States , and great difficulty was encountered in lo cating them and securing complete In formation In regard to their number and mode of living. This Information now has been obtained , and Professor Armstrong will enter upon his dutlos with a full knowledge of the age , BOX and name of every member of the band , f rorri poetic Noon Skies .to every day Hollering Around , which are among the unique names berne by members of this turbulent band of In dians. Crandnll , S. D. , Bank Robbed. Aberdeen. S. D. , Aug. 13. Dank rob bers dynamited the safe of the state bank at Cramlall , S. D. , about 2:30 : o'clock a. m. , securing $1,000 In cash and $1.000 In checks , and making their escape. A missing team from Crandall was found at Ferney , twenty miles away , today. It Is thought the men used the team. Storm Wrecks the Grandstand. The second ball game between Nor folk and Valentine nt Valentino Thurs day afternoon ended abruptly In the fourth Inning , when a furious rain and windstorm came along and unroofed the grandstand , carrying the amphi theater about 100 feet and injuring a number of persons. The injured : Left Fielder Tottenhoff of Norfolk sustained a deep cut on the top and back of his head , thirteen Inches long. Thirteen stitches were required to sew t up. First Baseman BucTimaster of Nor- oik was bruised on the leg , sustain- ng his third Injury within a few weeks. Spectator named Cyphers , badly In ured. A Valentine player , Injured In the eye. eye.A woman spectator fainted. Three and a half Inches of rain fol- owed the wind. Fourth Inning ; Game 0 to 0. It was the last half of the fourth nning and the game stood 0 to 0. Nor folk was at bat with a man on third and no men out. It was about 3:30 : o'clock. Suddenly n deluge of rain came out of the heavens and a roaring wind swept the diamond. The players ran to the grandstand for protection , only to find that the promised shelter md been picked up In the teeth of the wind and carried away. Tottenhoff was more seriously In- lured than anybody else when the grandstand began to blow away , ihough a number of persons were struck and bruised by flying timbers. Unconscious for an Hour. A big timber came shooting through the air and Tottenhoff chanced to be in Its path. The heavy missile struck liira squarely on top of the head , cut ting a long , ugly gash and laying him out. He was unconscious for an hour. It required thirteen stitches to sew the badly torn flesh together. Totten hoff felt weak and looked like a migh ty sick man when he reached Norfolk Friday morning. Buckmaster Needs Rabbit's Foot. The Norfolk team has been running In hard luck by way of accidents. Brown and Buckmaster were both badly ly Injured In a fierce collision on the field when each was running for a fly. Later Buckmaster wrenched his knee by sliding. And In this storm he was hurt again. A Beautiful Game of Ball. Tottenhoff said the game that ended so unexpectedly was a beautiful exhi bition of the national pastime , with both teams fighting hard for a victory. The Norfolk team , with the excep tion of Tottenhoff , stopped off at Alns- worth to play Friday afternoon , pro viding rain did not prevent. Two New Players Signed. Two new players have been added to the Norfolk ball team. Ed Spell- man of Omaha , a corking catcher who used to play with the Dodge team , and Joel K. Ward , a fast inflelder , have been signed.

Dixon tells of a sickening moment when one poor woman , the top of her head knocked off by a big timber , died lying across his broken leg. Following Is a part of the letter : Well , old man , I guess I'm up against a "big cigar" for awhile. It will be six or seven weeks before I get up out ' of this into a wheel chair. It was the fiercest deal I was ever In or saw. I stood and watched them come right . together. I could not get away from It. That car looked as big as a moun - tain. The car in which I was riding telescoped until It was only twelve feet long by actual measurement. Ten people were killed around me. I was lucky. One woman died across my legs , the top of her head knocked off - by a big timber , besides slivers run Into her body. It was a sickening sight. I was blood all over from a cut on the head of my own and others bleeding over me. So far twenty-three are dead , 102 Injured. This hospital is overcrowded not help enough , flies are fierce , no screens at the windows or doors , the grub is the limit always cold. I , asked the guy yesterday how far away the kitchen was. He said , "Oh , it's right down here. " I told him I thought It was a couple of miles away , as everything was always cold. This hospital "dip" is simply rotten. I'd give a good deal for a cup of ma'am's good coffee. Been having some fever , but It's going down now. Slept pretty good last night ; night be- fore , not nt all.

This amounted to $25. Dodge went to Humphrey with the In tention of doing up Norfolk In the hose race but came In last ; time :38. : I lgh's time was :2G : Hat and Nor folk's :28V4. : Norfolk would have easily won the race but for accidents in coupling and a kink In the hose which lost time. The contestants In the hose race were : Howells , Leigh , Dodge , Madison , Newman Grove , and r . Each of these teams had thirteen men , while Norfolk only Imd ten men running. The other-teams' had men who were much heavier and larger than the Norfolk team.

Probably the only pet skunK In cap tivity is owned by Miss Lucile Bliss , daughter of D. W. Bliss , of Tllden. City Clerk "Ed Haiter who was at Til- tlen for n short visit with the Bliss family Thursday was much surprised when the young lady requested him : o come and see her pet which she had enclosed in a cage. When she opened the door the skunk commenced a series of dances and finally jumped on the young lady's shoulder rubbing its nose on lier cheek and In every way acting like a pet kitten. The skunk follows Miss Bliss wherever she goes and obeys her commands with the obed ience of a pet dog that has gone through much training. Neighbors disdain the idea of hav ing a skunk for a pet but this does not break the close attachment the skunk and Miss Bliss have formed for each other. Among the other pets which Miss Bliss has is n squirrel which also is playful and the three friends spend delightful hours romping on the lawn. Owing to the fact that Miss Bliss has had this skunk ever since Its birth It has become almost as harm less as a kitten. From her own hand does the skunk receive Its dally meals which consist of bugs , worms , and for dessert usually he gets a frog for which he shows great relish. O'Neill Race Results.

Phillips of Wayne may consider herself very fortunate and also very much Indebted to John Deck er , baggageman at the Union Pacific depot , for preventing her from being ground under the wheels of the Sioux City train at the Union depot at noon. Mrs , Phillips attempted to board the train after It had gained considerable headway , and was thrown partly be tween the platform and the rail.

J. L. MEAD CYCLE COMPANY , CHICAGO , ILL. which the theater has ever IPK " a season. "Tho Man on The fiox. " is so well known as one of the bis successes i cesses that It Is believed the opening will be most auspicious. It has been demonstrated during sea sons past that Norfolk people appre ciate the high grade theatrical attrac tions , and the Auditorium management Is pleased to be able to announce a greater number of high quality attrac-1 tlons for the coming season than have ever been seen In the city In any one season. Theater Panic Is Over. Last year was the hardest year dur ing the past decade on the show busi ness , due to the panic of October , 1907. When the financial Hurry came , theatrical - atrical attractions went to the wall by the hundred and at the end of the 1907-S season few were left on the road. The east failed to recuperate from the effects of the money strin gency last fall and , as the east pro duces the shows of the country , there was a scarcity of attractions all last season which made playhouse mnn- agers grey headed with worry. It was almost Impossible last .year to get any attractions and those that were se cured had to be begged for and fought for. It's Different This Year. But It's different this year. Times have changed In the east and prosper ity Is again In evidence. The theatric al producers see prosperity ahead , and as a result are planning more good attractions for this season than the country has known In a decade. Among the list of high class attrac tions to be seen during the season are : "The Third Degree. " Edmund Carroll , formerly with Walker Whlteside , now owning a high J grade stock company. The Lyman Twins in a new musical comedy. "The House of a Thousand Candles. " "Little Johnnie Jones. " "The Man of the Hour. " W. B. Patten , already a favorite In Norfolk. "Fifty Miles Prom Boston. " "The Honeymooners. " "The Traveling Salesman. " "Polly of the Circus. " "Strong Heart. " A New Distinction for Norfolk. In securing "The Third Degree" for this year , Norfolk has gained a new distinction along theatrical lines. This will be the very first time that Norfolk has ever secured a New York success at the same time the play was running In New York. "The Third Degree" came out last year and was one of the big successes on Broadway. It Is written by Charles Klein , author of "Tho Lion and the Mouse , " which appeared here In the spring and which was regarded by many theatergoers as the one best at traction Norfolk had ever seen. "The Third Degree Is under the same management as "The Lion and the Mouse" Henry B. Harris. This play starts In its new run In New York city tomorrow at the Hud son theater. Upon the basis of the support given the Auditorium In the top-notch at tractions which will be brought to Norfolk early In the season , will de pend the management's success In get ting big llrst raters later. In fact , some of those listed above are now booked conditionally , depending upon the patronage accorded attractions early In the season owned by the same producing managers. The present management of the Au ditorium has tried to constantly Im prove the quality of attractions se cured for Norfolk , and with the co operation of Norfolk this will bo the most delightful theatrical season the town has over seen. Never before was an attraction of the calibre of "Tho Man on the Box" secured for the September opening , and never have there been so many high grade shows willing to come to the Auditorium upon a guarantee of the support which such shows must have.
