It was found cided upon yet and the prelimi- nary contests are for the pur pose of trying vut the men and picking out the teams. Last night the county had a little the better of it, but was reinforced by several professional players,' whicn doubtless had something to do with it. On both teams yesterday a number of men showed up to good advantage and if the prac- tice is continued and a hittle of the greenness and stiffness worn out of the players, the contest on the Nineteenth should be the real article.

Baseball playing in the public streets must stop. Chief of Police Bailey has issued an order against it, and the police force will see that the practice is eliminated as nearly as is pos- sible.

' She was walking down the avenuebetween Third and Fourth streets while some young men were playing ball in the middle of the street. In some manner the ball went wild and struck Miss Olson in the chest, knock- ing ker down, She was dazed by the blow for a time, butis feeling fairly well today.

About a year ago Mrs. Riggs ence, but the result of it no one knows. It is surmised, however, divorce. Later in the fall Riggs informed the relatives of Miss Ellison that he had obtained his divorce papers, and intended to marry Miss Ellison as soon as he could arrange his busivess affairs. He said at the time that he had alarge farm in Washington and that he proposed buying more land there, He also persuaded the young woman to invest her money in the scheme, as she had plenty of money on hand from her millinery store sale. Accordingly she sold some of the mortgages that she had taken as payment, at a sacrifice. She raised some money in this way and she came to Minneapolis Mornday solely with the intention of getting more cash for the land scheme. Riggs met her n Hudson and the two came to Minneapolis to- gether, and shortly after arriv- ing in the city they registered at the National hotel under assumed names. It is still a mystery to the relatives and police why the woman should take an assumed name, as ample evidence had been obtained showing that she had nothing to be ashamed of. Riggs had told her that they would settle up the land deal im- mediately and that then she could go back to her home and prepare for the wedding. English Humor.
