Josern, Mo., May 16.—|Special Tels- gram to Trn Bie.|—By far the most excit- ing game seen in St. Joseph this year was wituessed by a fair sized crowd to-day, be- tween St. Joseph and Omaha. The teams were evenly matched and both played to win from the start. Some phenomenal flelding ‘was done, and after the score was tied in the ninth inning by Cleveland’s home run the ex- citement was intense. The blanks after the ninth inning were oceasioned partly by bril- liant flelding and partly by luck. The bat- ting was about heavy enough to make things fntoresting, although neither side could ‘bunch its hits successfully. This of course ‘was due to the fine work of both Clarke and Klopf, in which the latter had a little the best of it, as he displayed a cool head and rare judgment when men were on bases, and when a hit woula have wou the eame. Both pitchers held out wounderfully well, considering the length of the game, and grew more effective towards the end of the game than they were at first. They broke oven on the number of hits secured by each team, which was eleven, but Klopf struck out twelve men to Clarke's seven, ‘The flelding of each team was exceptional. For Omaba, Crooks did the best worlk, with twelve chances and one er He mado n phenomenal catch of a hi no ball from Ardner's bat in tho thirteenth inning, apd assisted in 8 double play, retiring the side, when it looked like @ run for St. Joseph. Canavan also did good work and was fre- quently applauded for his fine running catches. He took ything that came his way. Nagle caught his usual good game, and threw with great accuracy to bases For St. Joseph, the best work iu the fleld was done by Ardner, who made several bril- liant stops and a great runnin atch, Cart- wright led at the bat with three singles. 8t. Joseph earned but one of her four runs, making the first on a wild throw by Clarke. They bunched their hits in the seventh and eighth innings but could not do much with Clarke at other times. Up to the ninth inning it looked like a vic- tory for the home team. 1In this inning, with two men out, Clevelund came to the bat, and after two strikes had been called on bim, Jifted the ball over the lef* field fence, bring- ing in Clarke, who had previously scratched out a hit. This tied the score, a base on balls and a double having given Omah the third, and two singles and Smith another in the fifth. Afte had made his home run Crooks stru éut. The next nine men were dis- posed of easly in tho tenth, eleventh and twelfth innings, not a man reacning first base. In the thirteenth Cooney made a single and stole second, but neither Walsh nor Canavan could advance him a base and he was left on second. ‘Again, in the four- toenth, Nagle made a single and got to sec- ond ou Curtis’ bad flelding. Clarke s 'k out and Strauss zot to second on Krieg's muff of bis high fly. A hii would now have won the game, but Cleveland and Crooks flew out Lo Curtis and Krieg, leaviug Nagle on third and Strauss on second. The game was then called to allow the home team to catch the train for Denver, Score: OMANA. AD. R. DIL SIL PO. A. E Strauss, rf (.34 U Py 1) Cleveland, 3b. R8N0 S0 SN S Crooks, 2b..

MiINNEAPOLIS, May 16.—A Tribuno Stand- ing Rock agency special says: Recent Washington dispatches from prominent men connected with Indian affairs indicate that General Crook and tho other commissioners will havo trouble in negotiating the treaty. In speaking for tms agency, and it is most important In the Sioux commission problem, it is sato to say the commissioners will meet with much that will try their rec- ognized ability. Red Cloud's Indians will receivo $25,200 for 705 ponies taken when all the Sioux were disarmed after the Custer massacro, The Indians on tho agency lost 8,700 Lorses and the Cheyennos 8,200, for the payment of which there is no appropriation or any evidence of one being made in the future. The Indians on tho agency will yaderstand this fact, and when the commissioners ask them to sign the treaty for the resotvation, they will ask the government for thé same justice that Red Cloud gets. This ibeing deniod, it is almost certain that a flat refusal to sign any treaty will be given. —rr————— United Brethren Factional Fight.
