hitting Nehraskans down to throo stingy
little hits. Tho team that batted Alphlne,
tho Kansas pitcher, out of the box could
do nothing with tho slow benders of tho
preacher pitcher. Hoth teams put up a
good fielding game, but the preachers hit
tho ball hard. Washburn started Its run
getting In the tlrst Inning, two doubles net
ting ono run. In tho next a two-bagger, a
tleliler's rholco and a passed ball netted
another. In tho fourth nnd In thq' fifth the
Kansnns pounded out two runs, making a
total of six. Townsend got hit with a
pitched ball and was forced lo retire, in
favor of Mender In tho seventh. Ho kept
tho collrpluns from scoring any more.
Nebraska wn.i unable to score Until the
fourth Inning. Two errorx by the pitcher
and ono by tho shortstop netted a run. Tho
red legs went out one, two, three until tho
.ninth, their last chance, when Tor

GANG OF MEN REACHES COUNCIL BLUFFS

Work on tho extension of tho Chicago
Great Westorn in this vicinity has at last
begun and a gang of teu men is now at
work in Council Bluffs seeking to find a
eultablo outlet from that city. Locating
tnglueer H. H. Tubbs 1b in charge of the
work and will spend some time seeking the
best exit to tho east.
Tho situation In Council Bluffs Is compli
cated by tho line of bluffs which extends
along tho east side of tho city. Tho Mil
waukee and tho Rock Island come down
from the northeast and then swing around
the south end of the ridge, losing about
three miles. Tho Northwestern and tho
Illinois Central come through a gap sev
eral miles north ot the city.
The old survey for the Great Western
called for entrance from the south, paral
leling tho Rock Island. When the extension
was talked at years ago someone proposod
that the road should cut through the bluffs
and use the channel ot tho creek for the
right-of-way. This would glvo an entrance
to tho heart of the city.
The surveyors established their base near
the Illinois Central depot and ran lines east
on Broadway and some north of tho main
thoroughfare of the city.
Five gangs of men aro at work between
Fort Dodgo nnd the rlvor on this work.
Their headquarters are Fort Dodge, Carroll,
Lake City, Harlan and Council Bluffs.
SHOOT ABOUT A L0D6IN6

Gnthered In by Police for Violence
on Twelfth Street.
Horace Swonlo's explanation of numer
ous and multi-colored bruises on his face
Is that CbarlcB Loody's peg leg was thrust
Into It, energetically and repeatedly Sat
urday morning nt 1:45 o'clock, while
Swente lay on the floor of his lodging
house at 307 South Twolfth street.
As the police have the story, Loody and
Swenle engaged In a dispute over tho prlco
of a night's lodging and Loody threatened
tho proprietor. The latter drew a re
volver, but was knocked down, relieved
of tho weapon and then tramped on by
the gentleman with the second-growth
hickory. Loody also fired two shots In
effectively, and then decamped.
Patrolman McCnrthy, half a block away,
heard tho reports and, rushing to their
source, received Information from Swenie
beforo Loody had gotten too far to bo
overtakon.
Both principals were taken to tho po
lice station, ono to be held on a charge
of shooting with Intent to kill, Bnd the
other to be attended by Police Surgeon
Ames.
