I THE MAROONS DEFEATED PERU
AT THE FAIR CROUNDS YES
DAY. A (ohm! Crowd in .t''iiI,iiic' K.nly Pari
of t !'; in.' not 11 1 to St ;i iel,i rl - A -n-tl.
iuaiily lot of VUüoK
It being a holiday a fair sized audi
ence greeted the Maroons and their
competitors at the fairgrounds Mon
day. The Tern's came crowned with
laurels of recent victories and the Ma
roons being equally covered everybody
expected to see a rattling ball game
and much speculation was entered into
as to what would be the outcome.
It looked rather lonesome not to see
Xate Stevens as umpire, that gentle
man having been detained on more im
portant business, but A. E. Wise
stepped into the diamond and olliciated
in that capacity with a good deal of
credit to himself. Though perhaps not
as well versed in base hall ethics and
for lack of experience and practice per
haps not as quick to see and decide,
still showing a disposition to fairness
which set everyones fears at rest.
The early part of the game was not
much credit to either team, there being
a good many errors on both sides and
no one seemed to get down to business.
The Peru boys are a good natured jovial
lot of fellows and immediately won the
good will of the audience, by the way
they took a roast and cast it back in
the same good natured manner it was
sent. Naturally it was but a short
time before thev had ingratiated them
selves in the hearts of the crowd and
dicers were as freely given them when
they made a good play as to the home
team. In fact there lias not been a ball
club in this city this season who made
as many friends in so short a time as
they did.
At the end of the third the Perns
had nine scores to their credit and
Plymouth six, and nearly all made on
errors. In the fourth only four of the
Peru players got to bat and the side
was retired without a score. Plymouth
came to bat Willi Wächter up. lie hit
the hall and got to lirst, stele second
and came home on a passed ball. Xeidig
and Herman both found the ball and
('apron got a base by being struck by a
pitched ball. Soderstrom struck out
and Huffman brought X'eidig and Her
man home on a sacrifice hit. . Kirk got
out. This tit d the game and all played
ball from this on.
It was goose eggs all around in the
fifth. In the sixth Xeidig and ('apron
scored. Herman and Kirk were put
out at first and Huffman struck out.
Ilassett scored for the Peru's, and
Pearss, Densford and Antrim went out
in rotation. The balance of the game
not a score was made and the best ball
playing of the game was seen.
The score by innings was as follows:
Plymouth 3 1 2 . 0 2 0 0 0 11
Peru 10 3 0 0 1 0 0 0 10
THE COUNTY FAIR.
'roiiiiifs oT (Jreat Success This Year.
It is probable that but few people
realize the amount of time and labor
and money it is necessary to expend in
preparation for a county fair. The
visitor sees the erhibits, watches the
races and enjoys the amusements with
out a thought as to the processes by
which these things were brought about.
But much work has been involved and
much time spent in bringing these
things together. As the time of the
fair draws near the work of the man
agement, which has begun months be
fore, begins to multiply rapidly. Details
run into the thousands and each must
have attention.
The fair association of this city is
now busy with preparations for the
fair to be held September 17, IS, 1'J and
20, and from all indications it will be
the most successful fair given in this
county. Arrangements have now been
completed with the L. E. & W. and
Vandalia roads for special rates during
the fair, and such an arrangement is
practically assured with the Pennsyl
vania road.
A Sinnig Ti'iim.
The Maroons will go into the diamond
to-morrow re-enforced and strengthened
to such an extent that it would seem as
though an extraordinarily good game
should be played. If Uremen puts up
the game they have the reputation of
playing certainly there will.
Wickizer and Hunter hive been regu
larly engaged and will make a power
ful addition to the team. Heebe has
been nursing an arm which was struck
by a pitched ball and it is not certain
whether he can come or not, but will
send Herman in case he cannot. The
following is the list of players and their
positions: Wächter, c, Heebe, p., Gill
ispie, Bs., Capron, lb., Hunter, 2b.,
Wickizer, 3b., Shakes, If., Cleveland, cf.,
and Kirk, rf.

The oar factory explosion story from
Warsaw lias proven purely a canard.
It is evidently but a part ot the absurd
pham.us. 'ig"ria of some fabricator's
vivid and disordered imagination. War

the horrors of such a catastrophe but
the misfortune ol producing such dis
torted imaginations, must prove a pub
lic calamity immeasurably worse. The
aflheted people of Warsaw should have
the sympathy of all northern Indiana.

As train Xo. 7; W;is coming east on
the Pittsburg Tuesday morning about
2::!0 o'clock, the rear brakeinaii was
t in prised to see the coboo.-e apparently
pass over a man about one and one
half nnies this side of Donaldson.
Without a word he dropped off his
train and ran back to see how bad the
man was hurt. He turned out to be a
young man of gm id appearance and
said he was trying to steal a ride from
Chicago to Pittsburg, and had fallen
asleep on the bumpers and fell off. He
said he didn't know a thing until he
struck tin rail, when he realized his
position and made an effort to get out
of the way and partially succeeded, but
not until the wheels had caught the
heel of the left foot. The brakeman
remained with him and digged Xo. I,
the east bound passenger which was
only ten minutes behind the freight,
and brought the injured man to this
city.
The company's surgeon was called,
but before he got to the depot a tele
gram was received from the superin
tendent of the road telling him to turn
the injured man over to the city. City
Physician Krown and Trustee McCrory
were called and the nun was taken to
the county house, when he became a
county charge, and Dr. Keyser of In-
wood had to be summoned as Iiis case
missed out of )r P.mwn in r wi hi-t ion

but the doctor did stop the i!mv id
blood and then left the case for Dr.
Keyser to dress. Dr. Levser was simi
moned and Dr. Wilson was called to
assist. The young man's foot was
dressed and will be saved though ho
will carry a stiff ankle and a crooked
foot the balance of his life. He gave
his name as Thomas Francis of 1 1 ml-
son, Kansas, and says he has a
father and brother at that place who
are pretty well off, and asked that they
be wired and inionned of his misfor
tune. His father's name is .lames
Francis.
