The Utah baseball league is a thing of the past, the men having received their releases. It is probable a two club schedule will be played out, teams representing Ogden and Salt Lake taking part. Grasshoppers have been doing considerable damage to the lucerne crop in the vicinity of Santaquin.

A fierce tornado characterized by a windstorm of extraordinary velocity, thunder, vivid lightning aud a heavy rain burst upon Baltimore at 12:30 p m. Sunday, coming from the southwest with the net result that eleven persons lost their lives, hundreds of houses were unroofed, trees in the public parks and streets were torn up by the roots, many buildings damaged and several people injured. The storm exhausted its fury in less than fifteen minutes. The damage done in the business part of the city was comparatively slight, being confined to the blowing down of signs and injuries to roofs. It was in the residence portions along the river front and in the harbor where the wind spent itself violently. Of those who perished nine were drowned in the harbor from open boats, ODe was killed by a falling tree and one by a live wire. A hole several feet in diameter was blown into the wall of St. Marys Star of the Sea Catholic church in South Baltimore and a portion of the Stone cornice weighing more than a ton fell to the street. Q No one was injured. A boat's crew from the German steamer Breslau at anchor in the harbor picked up two men from a boat that had been capsized. At the foot of Concord street the merchants and miners transportation camp warehouse was unroofed and rain poured in on the valuable cargo stored there, doing a damage estimated at from $100,000 to $300,000. The gas reservoir in SoutIT Baltimore, containing about 300,000 feet of gas, was blown over, the' gas exploding. No one was injured. Loss, $15,000.

Mr. Mackay went to California in He at once entered 1851, via Panama. a mine, working with pick and shovel in the placers of the American river and at Downieville. In 1859 he went to Virginia City, Nev., and began mining on the Comstock with varying success. His first real start toward success wus made when he became superintendent of the Kentucky mill in Gold Hill. In 1863 Mr. Mackay formed a partnership with Flood, O'Brien and Fair. In 1871 this famous mining quartette purchased the sitb of the Bonanza territory, north of the Ophir mine, on the celebrated Comstock ledge. They began work on a lode abandoned by Sharon and other large operators. The enterprise was a fruitful source of ridicule in mining circles, nothing but financial disaster being freely predicted.

There was a riot at the baseball grounds at Nebraska City, Nebraska t Sunday afternoon when the Law and Order league attempted to prevent the game. A warrant sworn out by members of the league was placed in the hands of Sheriff Browyr for the arrest of the two teams. When Brower arrived on the grounds an angry crowd surrounded and disarmed him. He succeeded finally in arresting four players and took them to a justice's office, where they were placed uuder bonds. A number of city pastors were at the justice's office and when they left friends of the players threatened and jostled them. A rock was thrown at Rev. C. M. Sheoperd of the Methodist church, striking a companion and knocking him down. Mr. Shepperd was chased to his home. Later, alleg-inthat his life had been threatened and the church property in danger. Mr. Shepperd .applied to the mayor for a police guard for himself and the church property. The outbreak is the outcome of long and bitter fight between the Law and Order league and friends of Sum day baseball. Saturday the question was put to a vote of citizens, and there was practically a unanimous vote for Sunday ball. CUSTOMS REVENUE OF ISLES What the Ftrnt Four Months Present Tear Shows. TRACEDY IN MONTANA. Aftacooda Mau Shot Down Because Be Did Not Believe in Murderers liiveutlohs. Enraged by an imaginary grievance, John McGeary, formerly employed by the Anaconda Copper Mining company at the Washoe smeltiog plant in Anaconda, Mont., deliberately shot and fatally injured William J. Evans, general superintendent of machinery of the Amalgamated properties, Sunday Mr. Evans succumbed to morning. the wounds a few hours later. The assassin shot Mr. Evans first in the back of the neck, the ball finding an exit through the face. The second ball was fired into the right side of the back after the victim lay prostrate on the ground. McGeary attempted to make his escape, but was shot by a bystander and seriously wounded, when he surrendered. The shooting down of the popular official of the Anaconda company is the direct result of a desire on the part of McGeary to have installed in the concentration plant a device which he claims would be a great improvement as compared with the machinery now in use. McGeary, according to his own story, declares that he has invented simple piece of machinery known as rack to hold the screen in the jig, and this, he says, he wanted tried at the works in order that he might learn how successful it would be. Frequently McGeary has called on Mr. Evans and asked him that he be given an opportunity to improve the concentrator, but the official, believing that there was little if any value iu the device, had not taken, the matter up in earnest as McGeary had desired, and this was the cause of the workman's hatred for the official.

Here alone do these tall of monuments guard the graves worlds, and perhaps this very one I gaze on was scarcely begun when Ramesis was born. Day and night I question it, by sunlight and moonlight and the unfailing stars, until gradually the unfamiliar life harmonies of its justify themselves to my soul. The sense of uncanniness, of monstrosity, passed away; the emotion no longer appals and rends me, but soothes with immensities of restfulness. To go out on the desert day after day and meet these cacti is like whispering into the ear of the Sphinx and listening at her locked lips. So wise they are, so old with the age of the world, so majestically still In those cataclysmic solitudes! And to go out in April and see them suddenly abloom is as though the lips of the Sphinx should part and utter solemn d words. A bunch of white flowers at tho tip of the obelisk, flowers springing white and wonderful out of this dead, gaunt, prickly thing is not that natures consummate miracle, a symbol of resurrection more profound than the lily of the fields? And in April also the lesser cacti are abloom with gorgeous flaming colors each dragon bears a jewel in its teeth as a tribute to the fervid isun. And ths paloverde puts forth its delicate, downy yellow plumage and the sagebrush renews its silver. Even the changeless desert must follow the changing year, must greet the spring with renewal of life, must unfurl its banners to the sun. As if a few drope of rain just moisten its crust it is strange how suddenly the sternnese of its mood will change; the entire face of the pale earth will become softly green in a night, gratefully itself close with a silvery leafage tiny and tender and delicate; and masses of California poppies will spread out their patches of cloth of gold.

Latest advices indicate that the fugitives are from twenty to fifty miles ahead of the pursuers, with a good chance of crossing the line and getting into the forests of the La Sal monntains. The report that the robbers had been trapped in Box canyon proved to be a canard. Pardoned to Secure a Fortune.
