SLCOND MASSACKE.
Tho Wyoming "Scma" Bcotesi-Thc Total
. Score I nknown-
The second Wyoming massacre oc
curred yesterday afternoon, an al
though no livf 8 were lost or blncd shed,
the massacre Is causing a good deal of
grief todav. The fiay came off at An
thracite park and the victors this time
were not bloodthirsty Uenisens oi me
forest, but our own Carboiidale base
ball team, who carry the scalps of their
Wyoming brethren today .
It was good exercise for the boys, but
the practice they received was not worth
much. The number of times they
passed around the diamond Is unknown.
but when the game was linisneq mey
were pretty tired from running.
It was the first inning that noodooea
the college boys. We do not blame
them, for It was enough to demoral'so
anything. Twenty runs was terrible
odds to battle against and they must
have decided It was too much. After
this dreadful Inning the Wyoming boys
braced up a little, but they had some
how lost all Interest in the game.
, Just what the score was at the end of
the game no one knows. The official
scorer of the day lied in terror at the
end of the fifth inning and no two of the
spectators agree. Long before the game
was ended all the spare paper that c u'd
be found was used up and the peanut
and popcorn bass were selling at a
high premium. We did observe one
person who had the courage to keep
the score to the end of the third Inning,
but notice of his death appears in an
other column. We must give the col
lege boys credit for the run they se
cured. That man w no seoreii win oe a
hero in the eyes of bis fellow students
for many years to come." hut we must
drop the etirtuin on the sud scene at
the end of the sixth Inning as the last
spectator left the wrounds. The obit
uary was "1 1 In favor of Curbondale.

Put rick ixon. Jr., was yesterday
committed to the county jail on u
charge of drunkenness and attempt at
assault and battery.
I'lxon has given way to the Intoxicat

this has caused trouble between him
and his father. On Sunday Dixon again
became intoxicated and in th's condi
tion went to his father's house, where
he caused considerable disturbance.
Karlv yeMerJav niornln Mr. Dixon went
to Aideiiuan Atkinson's where he swore
out a warrant for his son's urrest. The
warrant wus served by Constable
