made and the case will come up be
fore Hon. S. S. Fentr, justice in the
Butte Falls district court, on Satur

for the six defendants while District
Attorney Mulkey will represent the
state.
It seems that thero have been some
fierce diamond battles waged of late
between the aforesaid teams, one of
which is composed of Butte Falls
boys and tbo other of a surveying
party headed by Engineer Boveridge.
A week ago when the battle waged
fiercest, John Edsall is said to have
paraded out upon tho diamond,
where he defied the Home Defenders
to do battle.
They 'did.
As a consequenco six members of
the ball team have been arrested
upon complaint sworn to by tho fath
er of young -Edsall. Deputy Sheriff
Ullrich made tho arrests nnd tho
pln3-crs were admitted to $260 bond.
Practically the cntiro town has-
