S. won after a hard fight, the score ‘being 20 to 19. x The vietory was chiefly due to the inâ€" tense rooting of Councillor Pierce who thus eheered his favorites to success. A number of youngs ladies made a brave attempt to root the bankers to a win, ‘but missed the vietory I)), A narrow margin. In the first innings the office men secured a lead of ten #uns, but with Jimicy Deacon in the box this lead was gradually reduced. Claney and Appel were the pitchers for the Bankers. Towards the end of ‘the game the contest became . very ",ofiee and at the end of the ninth imâ€" mngs the game was a tie. In the exâ€" tra innings the Merchants won by one.

He was allowed to remain in the corridor of the jail and: he made his eseape in broad dayho'at hy bending back the bars on the winâ€" dow. All the previous day a number of foreigners remained in the vicinity of the jail and one at least beceame so disorderly that his arrest was necessâ€" ary. In fairness, it is rot right to condemn the foreigners too harshly. If one man may be reseued from jail by one riot, why should not another ailen be delivered by the cover of anâ€" other disorder® If mdwes assist in the setting at naught of the ‘good work of local police and magistrates, are the fiorelgners altogether to be scorned for advantages* If the aliens are wf is fellows, the British are still Â¥ a in is‘ / ..A‘"-A o ack hk Timmins News in Brief Mr. Geo.

Cobalt Councillors, and, incidentalâ€". Iv, the ratepayers received a shock last: week when the estimates for the year were presented and it was found, that the collectaole revenue would not eâ€" qual the requirements of the estimates as submitted. _ Even a 485 mill} rate would not raise enough to the expenditures planned. Everybody has been thinking that Cobalt was in unâ€" usually good financial condition and position, so the probahility of ashigh tax rate came as an unpleasant. surâ€" prise. ‘TheCouncil deferred the strikâ€" ing of a tax rate, when the situation was urderstood, and the matter is to be further considered, with a view to cconomizing and cutting down expenâ€" more corrugated jackasses. Chief Wilson last week received an answer to letter written by him to the Foresitry Department regarding the case of H. LeBarre recentlly placed under arrest by the Chief on the charge of illegally carrying fireâ€" arms. â€" Chicf Wilson has held that beâ€" ing a game warden did not entitle a man to earry a revolver, while the fire rangers were specially forbidden to have firearms with them. ‘The letter from the Provincial Forester endorses this view, saying that enquiry at the Fish and Game brancea shows. that there is no authority given for game warden to carry fire arms, while the regulations of the Forestry Departâ€" ment pomtnely and distinetly forbid the carrying of revolvers, ete., by those on the fireâ€"ranging staff. in Toronto and other wAy BE ronn‘rr.m BASEBALL LEAGUE HERE.
