nearing Kensett about thirty
five miles south of this place

burned before the chair car in

cars were uncoupled before
the fire had spread and the pass

jured, Were transferred to the

LABOR MOVEMENT
CLOSES MILLS
in Border States But Has
Not Snread To Arkansas
Lumber Camps.
Special to Independent.
Little Rock, Aug. 25—While
the labor organization move
ment which has closed down
some of the Louisiana and Tex
as saw mills has not reached
Arkansas, the sawmill own
ers are expecting it at any
time. They will meet the con
dition as the mill owners of
other states have done; by
closing down. One of the largest
mill owners in Arkansas stated
Thursday that the organizers
would have difficulty in getting
in among the regular employes
of the Arkansas mills, for they
have all been with the dif
ferent mills for many years, and
would weigh the matter care
fully before consenting to enter
an organization. This mill
owner stated the employes
have been treated more than
fairly by the operators, in order
to keep them in the lumber
camps, away from the alure
ments of the city, and for that
| reason the men will consider at
: length before running a risk of
losing a good position.

From IK-tv diets oi Diaz hi Slug
ging Score ol -)u to 18.
Special to Independent.
Diaz, Aug. 2->.—In the second
game of the series between the
Benedicts and Bachelors which
was played here Wednesday
afternoon, the Bachelors took
tht game, which was a slugging
contest, by a score of 3(3 to 18.
The line-up was:
Benedicts - position - Bachelors
Clark c. Davenport
G. Conkin p. Davis
Bacon 1st. h. L. Young
R..
• ’i'd. b. X. Conkin
Damerson s, s. Bawling
Gawf r. f. Vaul ner
• J. Young c G. You
Hurley 1. f ?.i*.
Umpire H. F. Novell.
The game drew a larger
crowd than any previous gaoa
th at has ever been played on
this ground and till buaint -'-s was
suspended while tin g . was
in progri ; •. A larg< numb i o
young lady fans were present
and their rooting for the Bache
lors was the main feature of the
game.
Davis, the ex-champion “squir
rel killer” who was so badly
hpjitpr in flip «prip« pntprpd
the contest swearing revenge
and held the Benedicts down
with a small score, until the
seventh when his arm became
“glass” and the “Married Men”
hit him hard, he however re
ceived credit for 19 strike outs.
Conkin who tossed the “apple”
for the Benedicts was hit hard,
and four home runs and six
“passes” were recorded against
him. Davenport the classy
catcher for the “batchs” played
a nice game and when the bases
were intoxicated he ca;:.e to
their rescue by making a long
drive to the residence part of
town, bringing in three men
and making a tour of the bases
himself.
George Young was disabled
in the early part of the fray by
getting a finger badly bruised
but entered the game again in
the third and did some ec
cellent work in the outfield.
Hurley, the ex-Hickory Grove
player who occupied the left
field for the Benedicts had a I
nice assortment of “g< >o gg i” $
recorded against lam at t in close 1
of the game, he having not bit
the “apple” during the contest, :
and it was close between he and
Moyer which would have the
, “sitting” at the end of the. g no
until Moyer made a long drive
to center, took two sacks id
scored on Young’.- three bag
ger. In the fiercest of the bat
tle, Moyer made an excelk nt
bunt down first base line aril in
his haste to take the fir t. bag,
| became excited and out ran the r
ball, allowing it to hit him and
was officially declared out by j
“liis limps.”
Mention must be made-of II sv- I
lings, shorn stop for ! he ’bviis” A
Id ^k
work and his la ; M
ture of th game, get I' ng
seven hits out of eight time.- p.
Dameron, who played -i ort
stop for the Bc-edicts had rot
'been h .l re’ foi • on ye rs
and was bedecked of a \ vie! red
| and his handling of the ball
was a mystery to the “br.cbs’’
but while the b; were l’..ll a
nice hit was made to him, he
making ail excellent field of the
l bn 1,1 but in the excitement which 1
: followed he held the ball awaiting |
,ne praise ui ms ieuuw piaveio
and let three “bachs” cross the
home plate.
West did some nice athletic
work on third but his man
euvers were too slow to have
: any effect on the
Vaulner, Conkin and You
each landed on the Benedicts
I for home runs in the ninth.
The best hit of the game was
j a long drive to left field by
Vaulner who m(ade a home run
' and it was some time before j
J the “piy” was recovered and j
was found in a wagon at the j
rear of a near by residence.
The young ladies who turned
out in a goodly number cheered
i their Bachelor friends (?) from
the start of the conflict to the
end and we are confident that
before another bail season ar
rives, a Bachelor ball team w'\\\
be hard to find in this place.
