new ginger in the Ely team. Walts

for the locals.
A l».M IMNTKATC >KS NOT I FI FI».
Judge Mitchell has made a ruling
that will cause quite a stir among the
administrators of estates, who have
neglected to settle up affairs on the
appointed time, when he ordered that
ail administrators who have failed to
make proper reports on all due or
past due matters, shall appear and
show cause tvhy settlements have not
been made, before August 1, 1910.
As some of the unsettled estates go
back as far as 1885 it will be seen
that considerable work is ahead, but
Judge Mitchell is determined to get
these old matters straighted up.
AT THE NOVELTY.
The new bill at the Novelty theatre
which was put on last night consists
of the feature film, ‘‘The Penitent

Manager Duchand says will be pure
ly an exhibition, with no prizes up
and no decisions rendered.

Baseball Game
Was Some
Rotten
The possibilities of the English :
language have frequently been taxed
to describe the great American game
of baseball, but for striking llluBtra- j
tlons this from the Herald, of Quincy, !
111., has rarely been equaled:
The glass-armed toy soldiers of j
this town were fed to the pigs yester- j
day by the cadaverous Indian grave
robbers from Omaha. The flabbly,
one-lunged Reubens, who represent
the Gem City in the reckless rush for
the baseball penant, had their shins
toasted by the basilisk-eyed cattle
drivers from the west. They stood
around with gaping eyeballs, like a
hen on a hot nail, and suffered the
grizzly yawps of Omaha to run the
bases until their necks were long with
thirst. Hickey had more errors than
Coin’s Financial school, and led the
rheumatic procession to the morgue.
The Quincys were full of straw and
scrap Iron. They couldn't hit a brick
wagon with a pick-ax, and ran bases
like pallbearers at a funeral. If
three-base hits were growing on the
back of every man’s neck they
couldn’t reach ’em with a feather
duster. It looked as if the Amalga
mated Union of South American Hoo
does were in session for work in the
thirty-third degree. The geezers
stood about and whistled for help,
and were so weak they couldn’t lift
a glass of beeer if it had been all
foam. Everything was yellow rocky
and whangblasted, like a stigtossel
full of doggie gammon. The game
was whiskered and frostbitten. The
Omahas were bad enough, but the
Quincy Grown Sox had their fins sew
ed up until they couldn't hold a crazy
quilt unless it was tied around their
necks.”
Pony Express
On the Old
Trail
Perhaps the most picturesque
figure on the old trail was the Pony
Kxpress rider. The Overland stage
proved too slow- for mail and ex
press in Its flight from the Missouri
to the Pacific. True, it had cut down
the months of the old ox team to
twenty-five days, and still there was
a clamor that the east and west be
brought closer together and it was
done. The pony cut the time to ten
days.
Those who were personally ac
quainted with the famous Wells,
Fargo pony express of those days,
says W. C. .Jenkins, in the National
Magazine, could never forget the In
trepid rider who braved all peril,
forgetful of self, intent only on the
speedy delivery of his precious
mochila to the next horseman. Hard
and fast he rode over mountain and
plain across scorching desert and icy
snow, through sunshine and rain,
past friend, away from foe, to the
final achievement—the safe delivery
of his charge.
Forty fearless horsemen in saddle
riding west, as many more riding
east—and this novel but useful en
terprise wa*\n motfon. For two
years the pony express carried mes
sages of love and business across two
thousand miles of western mountains
and plains, over a country peopled
with a hostile race destitute of culti
vation or development, through a
region wild, desolate and little known
It was in 1859 that the pony ex
press was established. The route,
briefly stated, was due west from 8t.
Joseph to Fort Kearney, up the Platte
to Julesburg, thence, by Fort Laramie
and Fort Brldger, to Salt Lake City,
thence to Camp Floyd, Ruby Valley,
the Humboldt, Carson City, Placer
ville and Folsom, to Sacramento and
San Francisco by boat.
The intention of the pony express
was to carry letters only, and not
more than ten pounds at a trip. It
was decided that the safest and
easiest mode of carrying the mail
was to make four pockets, one In
each corner of the mochila, a cov
ering made of heavy leather for the
saddles and generally used by the
expert Mexican and Spanish riders.
The mochila wuh transferred from
pony to pony, and went through from
St. Joseph to San Francisco, the
pockets containing the mail being
locked and opened only at military
posts en route and at Salt Lake City.
These precious letters were wrapped
In oiled silk to protect them, but
even this precaution sometimes fail
ed. Rivers had to be crossed —
horse and rider swam’together.
ENGINEER HAVES PICNICERH.

MISTAKEN IDENTITY.
The report was circulated Friday
that Ed Hoyt the missing band man
had reported the affair the sheriff was
A1 Butler upon being notified that
such was the case went at once to
investigate. While the man who
seemed to answer the description had
again disappeared, after making close
Inquiries of the Greek bartender who
had reported the aalr the sheriff was
convinced that the man was not Hoyt.
Close watch was kept all day Satur
day but no further discoveries were
made, and while some believe that
Hoyt has shown himself, the opinion
of those who are keeping close tab on
the case seems to be that his body
will be found eventually by some
