COUNTY LICKS CITY AT BALL Courthouse Players Win in a Hot Game by a Score of 37 to 25. “0LD BOYS" SWAT SPHERE AND RUN LIKE YOUNGSTERS Hundreds Turn Oat to Witness Most Exciting Contest of Season. When County Commis- sioner Charles Saxrud last week on behalf of the county officials " issued a challenge to = Mayor Carter and the employes of the city to play a game of ball, he little reckoned on the results of his defi, He hardly predicted that eighteen or more substantial citizens of Bemidji would be under the doc- tor’s care, this morning, and hardly able to perform their usual duties. But that was the result of the affair at the ball park yesterday evening, when the county team won a decisive victory over their city opponents, by a score of 37 to 25. The game was called at 5 o'clock and there was alarge crowd on hand, many of whom were ladies, Lee LeGore was Carter and Russell making a double steal. chosen as umpire and the two teams lined upas follows: City— Kinch ¢, Bursley p, Russell 1b, Gould 1b, S.

Judge Spooner started pitch- ing for the county and four scores were made by the city before the side was retired. The county came right back with four and made seven in the sec- ond. The game was fairly even until the fourth inning when the county players crossed the plate seven times, and from thattime on it was only a question of how badly they would defeat their op- ponents. The city was lacking in good pitching, at least as good as the A foul tip hit Wright near the solar plexus. county, and many of their play- ers had never been very good with the ba} and ball. The game was played with but little friction, and considering the hot weather and poor physi- cal condition of the contestants, was not a bad game to witness. The scores were made as fol- lows: City—Helmer 5, Kinch and Bursley, each, 4, Russell, Gould and Geil, each, 3, S. Bailey 2, Carter 1, Mayer 0. County— Conger 7, French 6, J. Bailey and T. Bailey, each, 5, Rhoda 4, Danaher and Spooner, each, 3, Wright and Clark, each 2. There was some very lively fielding and hard hitting, and every player on both teams did " his best to exemplify the fine points of the game.

TRAIN SMASHES INTO FLAT CAR Log Train on M. & I. Meets With Accident Early This Morning. A small-sized wreck in which a flat car was smashed to kindling wood and an engine damaged slightly, occurred about 6 o’clock this morning on the M. & I. on the other side of Lake Bemidji, near the old hoisting works. No one was injured. The flat car was standing on the track and a heavily loaded log train struck it before the engineer could much more than partially stop. The engine broie loose from the rest of the train and carried the flat car down the track five yards. RESIDENTS QUIT TOWN DAILY EARTHQUAKE SHOCKS OF MORE OR LESS SEVERITY AT SOCORRO, N. M. Albuquerque, N. M., July 20.—Refu- gees in large aumbers are arrlying bare from Socorro, N. M., where great damage has been wrought by a suc- cession of daily earthquakes since July 2. In that time not an hour has passed without one or more quakes. The cen- ter of the disturbance is a zone thirty miles long by about ten miles wide, running from the Ladrone mountains southeast through Socorro, San An- tonio and San Marcial. This side of the belt the shocks have been hardly felt. Each one is preceded by a loud rumbling, like heavy thunder, which ean be heard approaching from the morthwest before it reaches Socorro. Senor Baca of Socorro, until recent- ly district attorney, is here with his family. He says that people are leav- ing on every train and those who can- not ride on the railroad are leaving by wagon, About 2,000 people are eamping out in tents and no one dares to go indoors. Practically every resi- dence and business block in the town bas been irreparably damaged. = FOUR TRAINMEN SLIGHTLY HURT Continued from page 1, column 7 tender of the passenger were thrown trom the rails and ditched. The front of the engine was badly smashed. The track ! was torn up for several rods. An engine and wrecking crew were at once sent out from Cass Lake and the coaches were pulled into Solway, where the passen- gers were given breakfast and local physicians bandaged up the wounds of the injured. The wrecked engine seems to be laboring under a hoodo, having as a portion of its number *23” —it is labeled No. 237, Last December the same locomotive ran into a freight train in the Bagley yards. “Paddy”’ Nelson was the con- ductor in charge of the train and managed to get his coaches away with a new engine within a few hours after the wreck. Various rumors were afloat in Bemidji this morning to the effect that anywhere from fifteen to twenty had been killed in the collision and considerable excite- went prevailed. An U 1t.

Of course I take the best of care of them, and, then, they inherit a tendency to throw off any germs. I auticlpate no illness with Angie.” In spite of this the redoubtable An- gle came down with measles a week later, and the inquiring friend agaln approached Mrs. Snow. “Yes, dear Angle has the measles at last,” sald the contented mother. “Now, most of the other children are well, and as the doctor has plenty of time to at- tend to her it really seemed an oppor- tunity for Angle.
