Defeats Valley City in a fine Game of Base Ball on Mem orial Day- Valley City Catcher in a Fit of Tem per Struck McFarland, a Jamestown Player. His Disgraceful Tactics Aroused Reo- pie, Some of Whom Favored Mobbing Him. In a hotly contested base ball yainc Friday afternoon on the local grounds between the Jamestown and Valley City teams, the former team won by a s'jore of 5 to 3. The attendance was large and the game intensely interest ing. The following was the positions of the players: Jamestown team: French, 3rd Elrod, ss Henry Nierling, rf Hoff man, 1st Harry Nierling, If O'Don nell, cf: Green, c: Bert Nierling, p: McFarland 2nd b. Valley City team was as follows: Lufkins, ss Smith, Shaws, 3rd Kaelin, cf: Gatewood. 2nd Burgess, 1st Moe, p: Ilelm, rf: McDonald, If The feature of the game was a sen sational play by Lufkins, the Indian shortstop for the Valley City team. Henry Nierling sent a liner out to 2nd base which was caught by Lufkins and doubled to 1st retiring French. Luf kins played aline game throughout. The game started out with goose eggs for both teams in the tirst in ning. In the second, Hoffman and Green scored for the Jamestown team and Smith, of Valley City, succeeded in making good after getting to tirst base on balls. The game continued with no change in the score until the seventh inning. In the fourth inning things locked dark for Jamestown and that Valley City did not score was a surprise. Smith got a base on balls. He was followed by Shaw who fanned. Haelin got to tirst. Gatewood boosted them a base further. There was only one player out. Haelin was caught try ing to steal second and Smith was put out on 3rd. In the seventh inning things began to move some. O'Donnell, Green and Nierling scored for Jamestown, and Lufkins and Smith for Valley City. No further scores were made in the game. It was in the seventh that the dis agreeable incident of the game oc curred. McFarland was running from third to home with the Valley City catcher, Smith, and the third baseman seeking to capture. In some way the players missed touching McFarland with the ball and Smith lost his tem per. He struck McFarland viciously. In an instant- the spectators were in an uproar. McFarland is a.much smaller man than Smith and the people were very indignant over the matter. Wiser heads prevailed and Smith was not molested. He admitted that lie was all wrong and tried to square himself. As Valley City had no one to take Smith's place he was allowed to play, after being ruled out by Umpire Charles Weber. The latter called McFarland out for interference. The decision was not at all popular with the spectators, who protested. The umpire was lib erally roasted for a number of other decisions in regard to the home team, but survived and did not make a speech. The eighth and ninth innings were not eventful. Green caught a nice game and Bert Xierliny made good as pitcher. The hoys were all in good form and had no costly errors on their side. Moe of the Valley City-team pitched a tine game, but weakened toward the last of the game and another man was substituted. •Jamestown people showed their ap preciation of the game by a liberal col lection. Bad Places in Roads. There are several bad places on the Spirit wood Lake road that makes it hard for a loaded team to pass over. The till near Geo. Joos's farm is in bad shape for a load, and the Joos horses have had to lend assistance to a num ber of teams stuck in the mud at that point this spring. Elevator Burned. The Imperial elevator burned Fri day night at Mayville. There were about 500 bushels of wheat in the ele vator The loss is said to be $20,000. May Weather. According to the weather summary issued by the Bismarck station, May this year was warmer than the aver age for twenty-eight years. The high est temperature was 80 and the lowest :i4. with an average of The rain fall amounted to three inches at Bis marck but was in excess of that amount -in many portions' of the state. Saved Boy's Life. Si vert Ilalvorson's live year old boy, while playing on the railroad bridge in Valley City fell into the river and would probable have been drowned had it not been for Carl Samdahl, who jumped in and pulled him out. This is the third person Carl has saved from drowning in the river. Cyclone. One hundred head of sheep were killed by a young cyclone, which swept the stockmen's country south of Dick inson. Beef Was Bad. Some of the aldermen have unusual requests made to them sometimes. A few days ago a man approached one of the aldermen and asked him to exam ine a package of meat he had pur chased. He claimed that the meat was bad and thought the board of health should so declare it and have the dealer pulled. He was told to 1:0 to Dr. Rankin and see him about it. Some time ago another alderman had quite a time adjusting a dillicully between a farmer and a Russian resi dent of Jamestown. Tlvfe Russian claimed that the farmer, who lives on the James river, several miles mirth of the city, sold lii.u a quarter of beef which had been a portion of a eow that had died of disease They iinally settled the matter to their own satis faction. It is said that there are a number of residenls in the county who are not at all particular whether the critters they sell died of disease or were killed in the usual manner. Land Boom. Peter Pearson has returnedjfrom a trip to Cooperstown. He says'there is great activity in I'eal estate business there. One gentleman sold 8,000 acres of his land this season. Another party was offered $24 an acre for a half sec tion of land located near Cooperstown and refused the cash offer. The same man was offered $30 per acre for land and refused it because time was asked. The crops are looking tine in Griggs county. Crop Outlook is Good. President Mellen and officials offtthe Northern Pacitic returned yesterday from a four weeks' inspection trip. They went over about every mile of the company's lines. Mr. Mellen is under stood to be highly pleased with the crop outlook all along the big system. It is said to have never looked better. Little Bits of Philospfay. It is better late than never—but the clerk who acted on the assertion is now hunting for another job. Honesty is the best policy—but the man who views it as policy will bear a reasonable amount of watching. A fool and his money are soon parted—but it is noticeable that the names of the misers are not generally enrolled among those of sages. Pride goeth before a fall—but the annals of "sliodocracy" proclaim that it frequently goes so far before that the fall never overtakes u. A man must possess real merit if his intimate associates thoroughly respect him. Only genuine coin can endure the test of constant handling. —Success. Died. Sam Bradford died Friday of con sumption and was buried Saturday, lie was stopping at Frank Andre's and was an old time resident of James town where he was in the saloon busi ness. Chautauqua. The tenth annual assembly of the North Dakota Chautauqua associa tion opens June 28th and closes July 20th. Alleged HoId=Up. Fritz Ilaybsck is recovering from a disagreeable experience a few nights since.. While walking along Fifth Avenue Ilaybeek claims an attempt was made to hold him up. He was struck by the alleged hold-up artist, but succeeded in beating his assailant off with his cane. Fritz was laid up for two days and failed- to report the matter to the police so it is doubtful if the guilty party can now be found. Fritz thinks he was mistaken for some one else. Grand Larceny. Fargo Call: Sheriff Twichell last evening received a telegram from the chief of police at Miles City, Mont., informing him that Thomas Mitchell is a prisoner there awaiting the action of the Cass county authorities. Mit chell left Casseltou a few days ago with a wad of money not his own and information was wired to Miles City that he had checked a grip for that plpce and that he was wanted for grand larceny. His capture resulted and Sheriff Twichell left this morning for Miles City to bring the fellow hack, he having consented to return without requisition papers. Crazed by Grief. Crazed by the sudden death of her husband two weeks after her marriage, Nora Rust, of Owego, near Lisbon, was committed to the hospital for the in sane at Jamestown. Her husband, Thomas Edward Rust, came from Crawford county, Wisconsin, intend ing to return with his bride, a young and apparently robust woman of 2-1 years, but ere the honeymoon was over the bride had become a widow.

HIGH OFFICIALS PARTICIPATE Representatives of Every Department of the United States Government Present at the Church Services and American Troops Escort the Re mains to Their Temporary Resting Place in Rock Creek Cemetery. Washington, Iday 29.—The remains of the late lord Pauncefote, British ambassador to Washington, were ac corded a national funeral, in token of the high esteem set by the American people on the personal worth of the de ceased and as an acknowledgment of the friendly feeling which is cherished towards Great Britain. Every depart ment of the national government was represented and the" numerous diplo matic body, of which for so many years the late Lord Pauncefote was dean, was present in the persons of ambassa dors, ministers and charges. In addi tion to these the resident society of the capital was fully represented. The presence of a thousand men in arms was the visible sign of military par ticipation in the funeral. The church ©f which the deceased was a member did honor to his memory by bringing to Washington to conduct the services the coadjutor bishop of Philadelphia, the Rev. Mackay Smith, under whom he had sat. Since Lord Pauncefote's death last Saturday morning, his remains had been lying in state in the large Salon of the embassy building. The British ensign stood at half-staff over the main doorway and a sweeping bow of black crepe told of the presence of death within the house. Soon after 10 a. m. the sound of marching feet and the slow notes of funeral music gave notice of the approach of the funeral escort. The soldiers were aligned on either side of Connecticut avenue and of the adjacent streets and stood at rest while the clergymen and pall bearers entered the embassy building. With little delay the casket was lifted upon the shoulders of four brawny sailors and as many soldiers and borne to the hearse. At slow pace the procession started down Connecticut avenue towards St. John's church, the soldiers and ma rines falling in the line of march as the column moved along. The body of the church had been completely filled before the procession arrived. President Roosevelt Had the Place of Honor at the right of the central pew. To the left of the presidential pew and in line with it were Lady Pauncefote and her three daughters. The ambassa dors were placed in the pew to the left of these ladies. The staff of the Brit ish embassy sat directly in the rear of the Pauncefote ladies and in their rear the diplomatic corps filled a considera ble portion of the body of thfe church. The cabinet was accommodated in two pews, directly behind l/" president's pew. and the supreme coiut was given similar accommodation in pews in alignment with these. Adjoining tliem sat Lieutenant General Miles and Ad miral Dewey with their staffs The services at St. John's church were similar to the memorial service held at that church in honor of the late Queen Victoria. The large choir of 40 men and boys took part in the service at Lady Pauncefote's request and the three hymns sung in the body of the service also were of her personal selec tion. With this solemn ceremony over the choir sang several hymns. The clos ing prayers were then said and the bodybearers lifted the casket again and carried it slowly out of tne door to the right, followed by the two bish ops. At the sound of a bugle the head of the escort swung up the street, leading the march to Roclc Creek cemetery. At the express wish of the family the escort from the church to the cemetery was limited to a single squadron of United* States cavalry. The remains were taken directly to Rock Creek cemetery, where they were placed in the receiving vault, there to remain until such time as they should be con veyed on a United States warship across the broad Atlantic to the an cestral home of the late Lord Paunce fote of Preston.
