o'clock train filled with great hopes
Of winning the game. They were
accompanied by a party of eighty-
six rooters carrying all kinds of
noiso making instruments. The entire party returned at six o'clock
and quietly slipped away to their
several homes. Score: Shepherd,
13; Coleman, 4. We can't see that
there is anything to gain by making
a longer report of the game.—Coleman Independent.
The carnival of crime continues
unabated in Clare, and tho officers
seem powerless to stop it. Last
Saturday night at the hour of twelve,
when honest people are resting from
their labors, Marshal Bobinson was
aroused by a vigorous rap upon his
door. He answered the call, to find
an enraged citizen of German persuasion. The caller announced that
some deep dyed rascal had possessed himself of a large and juicy
soup bone which tho owner had' deposited upon the bar of a thirst parlor while he moistened his parched
tongue. The great heart of the
city's peace officer immediately
went out to the unfortunate caller,
but upon calm deliberation he felt
that before he could safely proceed
to the arrest of the bold thief that it
would be necessary for him to have
an accurate description of said soup
bone. Not" having placed any identification mark upon the bone when
.purchased, the German felt that he
could liaxdly furnish the description
desired, arid departed, uttering words
of deepest contempt for Michigan's
variety of justice.
The tale to be told is a sad one.
Not because of the fact that.out of
eleven successive games the East
side mufifers have succeeded in winning their second, but because of
the asparstions being cast at an. esteemed citizen. Were the hints of
crookedness without foundation,
The Courier would rise as One
man and hurl baclc the base, insinuations I But dear reader, we must in
justice to ourselves and to the unsuspecting citizens of this city, who.
have heretofore sworn by, to, for
and at Uncle Sams representative,
reveal the plain, unvarnished facts
regarding the colossal swindle of
Wednesday afternoon at the base
ball park. To relieve his closest
friends of all the embarrassment
possible we will proceed at once to
the naked truth as revealed since
the game, to-wit: 1st—the Blues
won; 2d—Manager Enders of the
Blues was heard to say before the
game that he knew his side would
win; 3d, and lastly—The umpire
was heard to demand of Chief Booter
Alward the balance of his pay, after
the game! In the name of all that
goes to make up an honest ball
game, what more evidence do you
want?
Samuel C. Kirkbride, ex-mayor,
postmaster and prominent citizen,
stands -today eonyicted, by. a jury
consisting of every honest ball
player upon tho west side (and they
are all honest) of having made it
possible for the East side hot air
aggregation to claim a victory.
Our duty to the public in revealing the naked truth having been performed, we will now proceed to a
discussion of the features of the
game: Space will not permit a discussion of all the thrilling scenes
enacted, because some of "the"sc ___._.
thrilled nurnerous times, but we
shall touch lightly upon several of
the more prominent., _
When the church   and  judiciary
unites it usually can accomplish results, whether it be in legislation or
otherwise.   Bev.  Potter and Judge
Maynard as battery for the east side
struck  terror "to   a few of the unsophisticated west side batters  on
tho start,  and the poor boys didn't
recover their nerve during the entire game.   However, the losers are
not making any apologies for their
plain  crackers  and cheese battery.
The record of strike-outs shows the
dealers in cucumbers and health food
to have been fully up  to  the  professional  gentlemen  of the Blues.
The honOrs for heavy  hitting unquestionably belongs  to Alderman
Ward, Bev. Potter and Mayor Lacy
for the Blues, while  Clarence  Van
Brunt, John High and Paul Grieser
received the bouquets from the Beds.
Some  of  the aforesaid gentlemen
did not hit often, but they  hit  awfully hard.   Elder Woodloek stole a
base and caught a fly,  which   aots
even vPaul  Grieser and Alderman
Bicknell wouldn't'Stoop to;  Charlie
Calkins  and Ted Sutherland made
sensational efforts to hit  the  ball
for home runs but the pitchers were
so unkind as to refuse to place tho
ball in line  .yifch  their  tremendous
swings.   Willoughby, Enders, Holbrook    and   Patrick"- distinguished

themselves in several instances, and
their work elicited ifttteh comment.
The   game by innings was as follows :
East side 4313300 0 *—14
West side 2.114000 0 1- 9
The score sheet disclosed the fact
that  both  sides played better ball
after the players had limbered up,
as but four scores were made after
the fourth inning.   Everybody enjoyed the  sport, and but few of-the
participants were compelled  to  remain- in bed the following morning
and call in the  family  physician.
The net receipts for the band was $15.
Tbe winners are jubilant over the
result, while the Beds stand pat upon their right to charge the result to
the umpire.   At last  accounts  the
postmaster was seriously consider-
ing'tbe advisability of removing his
flouring mill over into • the  second
ward.
Lambrigger's Zoo, on exhibition
in this city on Wednesday artd
Thursday, attracted a* large number
of people, and tho exhibit proved
very pleasing. The specimens of
"the ape family, the snakes and the
tropical birds are especially rare
and worth .many times the price of
admission to seo.
While driving near the railroad,
three miles west of Farwell last
Sunday evening, David McAninch,
a well known and respected farmer
of Surrey townshipp, was thrown
from his carriage and instantly killed. The team became frightened at
a, hand car, started to run and the
buggy struck a stump throwing Mr.
McAninch out.

Proposition Made by Local Committee to Col.
Boynton for Electric Railway Line.
Committee Rapidly Completinjr Arrangements
tor a big Time on August ig.
As noted in these columns last
Veek, the. proposition of the committee to give the Grand Bapids
Electric Bailway Co. itfe right-of-
way through this county in consideration of its line being constructed
to Clare, was submitted to Col.
Boynton, the president, in writing.
No reply has as yet been received
from the Colonel other than a telephone message to the Mayor, saying
that the proposition was under
consideration.
Doubtless a reply will be. had before another issue of The Courier.
The committee having in hand the
preparation of the program for the
fourth annual field day of the Clare
fire department, report much progress, and. early next week the attractions for the day, together with
the prizes .offered will appear upon
large bills. Negotiations are now
pending with an attraction syndicate for furnishing something entirely new and novel in the way of
a free street performance. A ball
game between two good nines is in
sight, and all the features are about
decided upon. The program of
street sports will be practically as
follows, though the purses have not
yet been determine'd:
100 yard dash.
Bunning broad jump.
Standing broad jump.
Bunning high jump.
Standing high.jump.
Hop, step and jump.
Three legged race.
Old men's race, (60 yds.)
