ported from Zapotlan , erroneously giv
en hero at first as Octlan.

Hurt , Too.
Fremont , Neb. , June 10. Wheat
oats and corn felt the effects of the
intense heat in Kansas nnd Nebraska
and the small grains suffered consid
erable damage if the complaints that
poured in o\er the wires at local grain
olllcos this morning weie well founded.
"Reports indicate that corn in the
.
southwest part of the state and wheat
and oats In the west and southwest
weto damaged by filing , " said a local
grain man today. "There is also ,
much complaint at the wheat heads
being in the condition known as 'milk
and dough" and shriveling up in parts i
of Kansas and Nebraska. While this
hot weather would bo good growing
weather for corn later in the season
when the stalks are high enough to
shade tlio ground , farmers are gener
ally agreed that It is likely to Injure
tlio corn whllo It Is too small to pio-
tect the roots. Reports from southern

was damaged 50 percent by yester
day's heat. "

Elgin Wins Fast Game.
"Wind-up" Jackson , Sciibnoi's enl >
paid baseball playei , showed his nbl' '
ity in Not folk Wednesday afteinoun
when , assisted by Hutler of Dod/
, .ind the Elgin team , he played a fen-
j tuio patt in defeating Not folk by a
scoic of 0 to 2. This was Norfolk's
louith game this season , and it was
. their only defeat. They took it isd
j nntuicdly , howoter , and the small nt
tendance of fans weio willing that lO
game should go that way , inasmuch is
the game was strict ! } first class bno ( J
ball from start to finish.
I . Elgin made their big scoics in the
] [ second and fifth innings on errors b >
oNorfolk's , Infield. From the fifth to :
nthe last Inning there were chances of
Not folk being shut out. It lasted un
til the eighth , when Hoffman , who
had an off day , stnited the ball rolling ,
Jackson giving him a base on balls.
Krahn , who found the ball almost
every time up , connected hard with sta
three-bagger and brought Hoffman
homo. South bunted to Jackson and
was put out on first , and Gllssman's
sacrifice , with Butler's error , brought
ihKrahn home. The crowd went wild ,
but that was the last of the scoring
for Norfolk. Gllssman was out on
first and Dudgeon's grounder to Bolto
beat him to the first pinto.
Keleher pitched n fine game , but for
some reason Captain Gllssman retired
3Chim after Lehr
two-baggered. Denton
replaced Keleher and "mado good. "
ilcKuy and Dudgeon ciuno In for HUH-
iitlonnl cutclieH of high ones. South
entitled with n good stop of a tuitlllo
luor. The real feature of the ganto ,
towinor , was the utinHHlnU'd double
> y Dudgeon and the tutrnud double ,
rom South to Dudgeon to UllsHiuiui.

HiHuman on Elgin's side. For tlireo
