heads lo make up u bull nine with
some of our men and what others
could be gathered afterward nnd
go to Mt. Vernon and p'ay a social ,
game of ball, although it' had been ,
previously arranged to play u match
game Sunday. The two nines were
as follows:
CANYON CITY.

As this wus the firsl giutio ever

ing n matched game there was no
score kept of the game other than
the runs. Some good playing wus
done on lailh sides, nnd with a little
more practice Ihu boys w ill lie able
to do some good work mi the dia
mond. The runs were ns follows:
Canyon City 17, Ml. Vernun, 12.
The laiy play again next Sunday
nnd exM'i t to make these llgums

The fln was caused by a cigar
ette which a China woman had
carelessly lain on a chair, ami then
; went oil' to a ueighlmriug house not
thinking that there would lie any
danger The time consumed iii
putting out the fire was alKitit three
fourths of an hour and iiIhiiiI IS
inches of water was used from the
reservoir. What a great blessing a
system of weter works is to a city.
It is nlmul time the city council
tnke a hwk at some ol" these old
Chinese shacks and have them all
moved to the other side of the.creek
where there will bo no danger of
setting fire to the entire citv. As .
