E XCITIN O BALL GAM E.
Ou Friday last tho base ball game
between tho hardware men and iron
workers and the business and profes
sional men took place at the all
grounds. The attendance was good
and the game was livelv and full of
interest. The hardware team carried
a large percentage of stalwart players,
whilj their opponents were mostlv
light weights, though T. B. Cornell
did what he could to bring the team
up to the average weight. The latter
team being composed mainly of the
younger clerks, moro recent players,
it was thought by many that they
would havo a walk-over with their
older opponents but the result did
not justify this assumption.
Hie hardware men went first to the
bat and began immediately to swat
the sphere with great vigor, while
the ball proved elusive to the fielders.
At the close of tho third inning the
score stood 10 to 2 in favor of the
hardware team. The "software" men
then steadied down and played better
ball but were unable to prevent their
opixiiients from increasing the strong
loud already gained. Several specta
ular plays were made and the game
was a highly entertaining one to
the lioholdcrs. The final score was IS
to II in favor of the hardware men.

IMPERSONATED TRACY.
William Nixon, of tho disorderly
district of Seattle, tried to win a wo
man's affection iu the guise of Outlaw
Tracy, and is nearly dead as (he re
sult of his foolhardy act. He told an
actress in a music hall that ho was
none other than the famous desperado,
and threatened her life if she told.
He mode her buy him drinks and
promise to supply him with money
Saturday night, when ho entered the
theater, he was attacked by a police
man.aud tho proprietor, Joo Williams,
a brother of Deputy Sheriff Jack Wil
liam, who was wounded in a battle
with Tracy at Bothell, July 3. He
was pounded into insensibility, and
has not fully regained his facultie
yet. The mistake was discovered
when tho man's features wore com
pared to those of a photograph at
police headquarters. It is almost
miracle that the policeman did not
shoot first and investigate ufterwurds,
as he was told positively that jhe
man was Tracy and a reward of near
ly 7000 is offered for the desperado,
dead or alive.
QUANTITY, NOT QUALITY,
We often hear that quality, not
quantity, should bo considered, but
iu R. L. Coe & Co's big ad iu our last
lssuo it was quantity, not quality
that was under consideration, in the
statement that Iho "oualitv was
limited." The mistake is the print
er's, who, Is prone to err, being hn
num. The quality of 'Coe's"goods"ls
uever limited. It is ample and gen

is the manner iu which his maguifl
