THE OMAHA DAILY BEE : MONDAY , ATTG-TTST I-I , 180J ) . UNEQUAL TO TOE OCCASION Armour Stars Strnok a Snag When They Tackled the Brewers. LOCALS WIN BY A VERY LARGE MAJORITY Ontiip One-SlilP , < l , l nl Io < of 1'nn I * Oronlcil for Hip ; Crowd Wlio AVKnrRNPil tlic Ex hibition. The Armour Stars hastened to their homes In South Omaha Sunday evening Just aa the slanting rays of the disappearing sun were discernible upon the hillsides. They took the back streets and on the way commiserated with each other. They re gretted their foolhardlness In daring to go up against Buck Keith's Omaha Brewers , who were flushed with the success of a western Journey , when they laid In the dust the colors of Denver's crack team. Buck- crlno nnd hla cohorts didn't Intend thnt u locnl aggregation should wrest from them the honors gained on many a diamond field , tUut still , ono can't help admiring the pluck t of the Armour boys , who "went up ngalnst f the real thing , " but held onto their nerve ns best they could under the circumstances The score ? Hwas 10 to 2 In favor of the Brewers and the Armour boys have reason for consolation , If not congratulation , that they succeeded In scratching In two tallies. Nonpareil park was the scene of this contest and thcro were probably 2,000 people ple who witnessed it. Many of them went to BCO the game advertised to be played between Tccumseh and the Omaha Brew ers , but Tccumseh missed connections nnd the Armour boys buckled on their armor with the expressed determination of show- , 4ng "Buckerlno" that there were- other ball I plajors In this "neck 'o the woods" beside j those- who belong to his team. Captain & rmnn ihr. tnll. ncllc. cade-eyed first base- man , put a > oung man named Withers , who la said to have played In some minor , major or Epworth league somewhere or other , Jn the box. When the game was called and Bradford , the first Browcr , pranced up to the bat , Mr. Withers turned himself loose. Ho was left-handed and before the game was over had thrown the toall In overy- whlch way. Ills principal offense , how- cvi , consisted In absolute Inability to control the ball. Ho threw a slow ball which had n pretty clover curve to It , but It was Just ns liable to hit the batter or the wlde- mouthed lad In the bleachers as to BO over the pinto In the first half of the opening Inning the Arraouro got In their work toy running In two scores , the only ones of the game. Williams was the first man at the bat.and Die picked out n grounder for Bradford , who immediately forwarded It to Dorcas and Mr. "Williams was out. This was repeated In tbo case of Captain Camp , the only difference being that Scully captured the ball so soon utter It left Camp's bat that Dorcas wns playing catch with himself before Camp pot half way down to Jlrst. The program was changed , however , by Burley and John- eon , both of whom lined out hits. Whitney Eot a free ride to first and Dillon nmdo flrst sifoly'on an error of Dorcas , who failed to grasp the situation and the ball , too , while- Burley and Johnson skated around the diamond and got homo. Fltrgorald t truck out and the fun woe over for the moment. Bradford started the ball rolling in Oma- Jia's half by sending a nice little fly to John- ton , who gobbled It up Hh a degree of pleasure equal to a darky boy eating water melon. Scully struck out and didn't relish the treatment accorded him by his opposing pitcher a little lilt. Jellun lined a hot grounder out to light field which Dillon passed up as though It were a comet , thus registering the first of a largo number of errors which subsequently were made. Waller made a safe hit and Law lor retired the side by a ily to right field. Not a score l\as made. litioUrrlim RUH Hnttlril. Then did Buckerino lose his usual equa nimity. Ho skirted the diamond two or three times and swore in seven languages that U could not bo. The idea was pre posterous ; it were Impossible for any nine Jn this section of the universe to vanquish MB "Originals. " His linguistic powers neemcd to have the desired effect , for never after the first Inning did the Armours score ngiln. Tor the next two or three Innings noth ing served to enliven things except in the third when clouds of trouble enveloped the diamond and threatened to put a stop to the gamo. It was In the last half. Waller had struck out. Waller , the mighty bats man from the Utah league ! And this put the Brewers out of sorts. Lawler got to first because ho was hit by the pitcher. H < > played off the base and Withers , In a pe culiar manner which he has patented him self , throw the ball to Camp on flret. Law- Icr attempted to get to second , but was Jiemmcd In. Ho awakened to his precarious condition and rapidly decided that hn couldn't get back to flrst , so sprinted on to r.econil , but Johnson had the ball by this time and Lawler wee called out. Then the trouble began and Ed Snyiler , who was olllclatlng as umpire , realized the unpleas- nntnefa of his prsltlon. The Brewers as- nerted that Withers made a balk when he forwaidcd the ball to Camp , and the Ar- inourt ) claimed the contrary. A heated ar gument was aroused , but when both sides wore on the point of quitting the game eomo follow _ ln the grand stand shouted , "Wo want our money back. " This settled It Buck , who was caressing the bag of elher during the time ho wasn't scrapping , concluded that It wasn't a balk and that Lawler was out , and proclaimed that the eamo should go on , Again In the last half of the fourth all Jtlnda of trouble cropped out. Scully wai trying to cot homo from third and the ball was In play between Williams and Fltz- gerald , with Scully in between Lawler , who bad been coaching , saw * the predlca. . jncnt nnd pranced down to home at full wpccd. Fitzgerald thought ho was the baso- iruniior , devoted his attention to him , while Scully got home In the confusion. The um pire called Scully safe , but after a whole Hot ofiwrungllng , In order that the game ' should' proceed , the decision was changed and an out marked up against Scully , Mc- Ehnno then tried his hand at umpiring and the rest of the game proceeded without anr epcclal contention. In the sixth and seventh Innings the Ar mours wont to pieces and the Brewers piled up runs until they were exhaubted. , The Armour boys promise that next Sun day they will meet the Brewers with a team that will gUo Buck's aggregation a lively contest. Sunday's team will bo strength ened by a few additions and the boys be lieve that now that the notelty of contest ing with the great and only Originals has worn off they can play better ball.

The matter has been the subject of dlplomitlc discussion and was finally referred to United States District Attorney Wilson R. Gray by Attorney General Griggs. Gray reported that the seizure was made so close to the line and at a time when It was possible to bo deceived In location that It might be ad- vlsable to refease the boats. Tbo attorney general wired him yesterday to proceed aa ho thought best. Mr. Gray Immediately wrote Collector Huestls , advising him to let the boatb go. Conuriitnliitr ( i < M rrnor Cniiillrr.

Cattle all this week have been good sellers , biners taking everything readily nt current prices Receipts , thoucrh liberal , were none too large to supply the demand , which wns active from start to flnls.li. The week opened out with an active mar ket on beef steers and values on the good kinds were gradually advanced until Wednesday when the market was generally quoted 10@20c higher than the week before. After that day the market settled back a little , losing possibly a dime. The mar ket on grass beef v/as also strong and active and prices were high , especially on account of the sharp competition on the part of feeder buyers Cows and heifers were good sellers nil the week and the market was not only active , out strong , wltn an upward tendency. Killers were hardly able to get enough cow stuff to supply their wonts on most days of the week and that fart kept the market up to a high point. The de mand for stock heifers was very good and prices higher. Stock Tiulls were also in good demand. Stackers and feeders were active sellers nil the week and the. mnrkot wns very strong with an upward tendency. The country demand was good and all classes of buyers seemed to be huncry for the desira ble cattle , which were far from plentiful. HOGS Light receipts , consequent upon a declining market , was the feature today , arrivals being loss than half of what they were a week ago In fact it was the smallest run for a Saturday so far this year. The market after the trade was once under way was ttfj Vic higher and reasonably active at the advance Practically every thing sold early In the morning and the trade soon came to an end for the want of more hogs to sell. Heavy packing hops went very largclv at JlSOfiM 32V4 good mixed loads largely at $4 33 with the llshter mixed lo ids as high as J4.37'4 and choice light nt M-IO The present week opened with a decline of 1V-c and the market tended steadily downward until Friday , wliwi the , decline was stopped. The hops on Friday Bold on an average 15c lower than the close of the previous week. Towarft the latter part of the week the effects of the decline were apparent In the diminished receipts , and the total arrivals for the week were far from large , though there were good runs during the first half. SHEEP No fresh arrivals of sheep were reported In the > ards this morning , but there were n few holdovers which changed hands They were some of the same sheep that were here on Thursday , but It was the last day of the week nnd they sold lOc Sheep receipts this week have been quite liberal and the market as a whole In pretty fair shape. The demand on the part of local packers has been of liberal proportions tions , so that arrivals as a rule hnve met with a good reception As regards prices lambs can be quoted 16 250 higher for the week and sheep Just about steady. Ac cording to advices received from Chicago the sales made , here this week hnve been right In line nnd In some cnrfca sellers have. done considerably better by coming here. There Is a little more Inquiry for feedIng - Ing sheep nnd also some call for good breed- The rec'elptH this week , as will bo noted from the tables nbove , were 28,659.

The market is strong all around. Business is not par ticularly large , but this Is merely because sellers nro cry independent. Western India was checked soinewliht by the rail failure , but since n copious fall Is reportci the demand has returned , with fair sales of light goods , good shirtings nnd wide cloths. The China demand has been active but business Is restricted by heavy engage ments and the consequent long delivery re quired. The minor markets , including South America nnd the Levant , have been good. The position of the manufacturers throughout Is very healthy , with prices stll rising.

Eastern newspapers nre very fond of "calling down" the thpntrlcnl critics of the "wild and woolly west" when the latter soar skyward in describing the "first night" of pome possibly ordinary production that has gone "on the road" and worked Its way toward the petting sun and the land of gupeilnllvu adjectives But the fellow out west la apt to hit back by quoting some skyrocket crltlclsma clipped from eastern papers At the Lambs' club. In New York , the other night , reports thf Herald , a little knot of actors was discussing this topic , when one of the party said that he could nearly always locate the source of n press notice of a play by the style In which It was written. Ono of the party , who disputed this , took from his pocket a newspaper clipping nnd defied any of the company to say what part of the country It came from The clipping1 referred to n performance of a. melodrama now on tour , and It contained the following "The play surpasses 'Monto Crlsto' In In tensity of action , Hubtlety of plot.

The criminal records of Va\npal county , Arizona , disclose eomo very Interesting and exciting experlencea and when the full story is added to the cold legal facts are as ro mantic as fiction and more Interesting be- cniiEo of their truth , siys a correspondent of the Chicago Chronicle. The case of Wll- lara Smith i\as one. He came to northern Arizona in the early ' 80s nnd the following year found him a full fledged cowboy work- ng for the Al Cattle company , a company whose possessions covered the greater part of the grazing lands In the vicinity of the San Francisco mountains. At that tlmo Yavapal county Included pretty much all of northern Arizona and extended to the Utah Ino on the north. Young Smith wns the son of n Baptist minister In the east and bad the nd\antago of a good education. Within a > e.ir after 10 commenced working for the company he lad absorbed all the wisdom and \\lldness of the most hilarious of the cowboys and ils thoughts turned to more exciting things. Working on the range was too slow , mone > did not eomo fast enpugh. With a gooc cnowledgo of the men on the range with him 10 proceeded to organize a gang of four , In cluding himself , to hold up the Santa Ko Pa cific and relieve Wells , Fargo & Co. of their valuables. Smith nnd his gang decided to hold up the westbound train at Canyon Diablo , a can yon 300 feet deep , 300 miles cast of Flag- itaff. Ono wild night , when the train came n sight of this canyon the engineer saw a > onflro burning brightly on the east side ol ho canyon. He Immediately reversed his engine , put on the air braKea and came tea a full stop. Before he had time to get down out of the cab to find out what the trouble was ho was looking down the barrel of n vlcloue Winchester nnd was told to keep quiet and keep away from the throttle. In he meantime , while the engineer was being held In subjection , Smith nnd the other two entered the express ear , threw the Wells- \irgo strongbox out and were socn lost in ho darkness. The member of the gang In charge of the engineer , on seeing his part ners making way , ordered him to pull out Ivoly , and on feeing his orders so willingly obeyed , made off after the rest of the gang. Buck O'Nlel of Plough Rider fame was lien nherlff of Yavapal county. He was mmcdlatoly notified of the robbery and proceeded at onct ) to organize a sheriff's > osso and set out for the ecene of the rime , as wild and broken a country user \er graced n map. With the assistance of a couple of In- * Ian trailers they started out on the trail , L broken horeeshoo on ono of the horses nnd a patched shoo worn by ono of the garig urnlshed n plain trail for the lynx-eyed Apaches and over the hltls , down ravines nd draws , through great pine forcstw , over raters of extinct volcanoes , through great and deserts and rocks they went , crossing lie Colorado river at Leo's ferry , then up ho steep trail from a mile down In the > owcls of the earth , a trail uoven miles in CDgfli , to the rim of the Grand Canyon on lie north side , never once coming In sight of the fugitives nor meeting others who bad seen them. The trail was fresh and each morning found them nearer and nearer the fleeing robbers. The posse liad left the Bucknkln moun tains behind them nnd creased the line over Into Utah. Hero they first sighted the train robbers , riding as fast aa their beaten-out horses could carry them AH they came into balling distance Smith opened up the conversation with his Win chester nnd the bullet sang Its savage t > eng In close proximity to O'NIcl's bead O'N'Icl retaliated by xhootlng Smith's horse from under him. Then firing became general. Plucky Ducky's holster waa shot from his bolt , being cut off by a bullet from Smith's revolver. Smith seemingly thought that with Ilucky out of the way their cliaui.es for etcapo would be greatly Increased , Smith's gang soon separated , part of them going one way , the other taking the eaie- ; brush on the left. In n short time Smith gave up , "having " run out of ammunition and receiving a painful Injury by the fall of hU horse. Two of the other robbers were slightly wounded. The posse had sev- eial narrow escapes , but none of them re ceived n wound. The robbers were taken on rthrough Utah , where they struck a branch of the Santa Ko and started homo with them. While coining through New Mexico , near Ilaton , Smith began complaining of his leg , which had been badly bruised when his horse was shot from under him , and asked that tbo ELECTRICAL SUPPLIES.

Smith bulng handcuffed and having a \ery bad leg , the deputy In charge con cluded he could not icfuse so small nn act of kindness , loosened the leg Irons , but re fused to take them ofT entlrclj. A short tlmo afterward the deputy left them for a moment and was hardly out of sight until Smith slipped off the handcuffs nnd jumped through the car -window. The train wns going upgrade at the foot of the moun tain and his fall did not hurt him In the least. The deputy on his return finding Smith gone , pulled the bell cord , stopped the train and started back with the remainder of itho posse to find the slippery Smith , but Smith wns busy maUng his , way o\cr rocks and gullies down the mountain side In the darkness. The search was unavailing and Smith made good his escape. The other prisoners were taken back to I'rescott , tried and sentenced to from twenty to thirty years In the penitentiary at Yuma. The laws of the territory malts the crime of holding up n train n capital one and the extreme penalty death. After disposing of the prisoners In hand , O'Nlel again organized n posse of deter mined men and set out In earnest to effect the capture of Smith. They flrst heard of him In New Mexico , where he was evidently making his way down Into old Mexico. Down through southeast Non Mexico they followed him , Mien over the border Into Texas and out onto the great staked plains of southwest Texas. Smith was making good time and was far enough In ad\anco of his pursuers { o ba\o reached the old Mexico line had ho not let his kindness of heart get the bet ter of him. While riding along one hot afternoon over the great desert and among the sazebush amimosquito ho came up tea a lone woman , lost on the plains. Tha woman proved to bo a school teacher re cently from the east , who had Jest her way and was nearly exhausted. She had - wandered dered from the trail some tlmo the day before , had walked all night without com ing to any habitation and "wan nearly per ished for want of water. Smith helped her on the saddle with him nnd started back over the trail ho had come , remembering that he had seen some men working at a windmill earlier In the day about ten miles back. Ho took her there , turned her over to the care of the men and again resumed his flight toward old Mexico and safety , O'Nlel and his posse came up to the men at the windmill late In the evening and was given the Information that a man answering the description of Smith had been there that afternoon , so Instead of putting up for the night as flrst Intended , they continued 'ha ' chase. Late at night they came up with Smith. There was a running flght for ov- cral miles ; Smith leaning back In the saddle kept up a constant flro with his Winchester until a lucky shot from eng of the- posse picked him out of his saddle and he waa cap tured.
