The game of basketâ€"ball betâ€" ween~the Berlin and Galtâ€"Â¥. M. C. A. teams was entirely new to a large majority of _ spectators, who took more than the ordinary amount of interest in the game, which was inâ€" teresting and exciting enough, but was made disagreeable toâ€"a ~larg number by the rough playing and continual ‘‘chewing‘‘ or the part of a few of the Berlin players. The Gait boys are experts in the game and are better acquainted with the rules govâ€" erning it than what the Berlin boys seemed to be, andto the many disinâ€" terested spectators it looked as if the Galt boys took pity on the home team and let them c with just eâ€" nough extra points to show them the superior team of the two. Jas. Scott of Galt was the referee and what he does not know about the game is not worth while knowing, but his position was n:ade very disaâ€" greeable by the manner in which some of the Berlin boys differed with him in his decisions. The game endâ€" ed with Galt securing 16 points to Berlin‘s 12. RANGERS BADLY DEFEATED ‘The football game between the Berlin Rangers! and Galt, chamâ€" pions of the Western Football Asâ€" sociation, was lcoked forward to with considerable interest, not . unâ€" mixed with a certain amount of anx< iety, but mow that the game has been played, it is a certainty that there are many who wished they had not been present to witness the downfall of the _ oneâ€"time famons Rangers. The expectations of the admirers of the Rangers were greatâ€" ly inâ€"reased when ~~old standbyes like Dr. Rudel!,‘ Geo: ~Bothmer, All. Scherer and ‘ Otto <Vogeisung vappearâ€" ed in their uniform, as associated with other players who have made a name for themselves in the City League series of past years. â€"‘‘Dave‘‘ Brown lined the players up in the following positions : n oc oe n e Rargersâ€"Goal, B. Brown,; backs, Scherer and Rudell; half backs, Rayâ€" mond, â€" Vogelsang, Lackner;â€" right wing, Roschman and : Méitkeyâ€"centre, Bochmer; left wing, Hellér and Wagâ€" ner. ‘ Galtâ€"Goal, Dr. McKay; backs, Gourlay, Ducker; hall backs, Spaldâ€"| ing, Hawke, Lane; right wing, Tayâ€" lor, West; centre, Hancock, left wing \Robson, Deeton. The game started with Berlin kicking against the wind. . For alâ€" most half an hour the battle between the two teams reminded one of _ y¢ olden times, with the possible excepâ€" tion that on Saturday two fisticuft bouts took place and referee Brown ordere the participants to assist the the time keepers for the space of five minutes. â€" Neither side showed any advantage over the other during the first thirty minutes and no goals were scored. It began to look as i! Galt would not be able to : score with the strong wind assisting them and the Rangers‘ admirers were picâ€" | turing to themselves what would happen to Galt when the teams | changed _ "nds. ‘These air castles lall ame down, however, before | before haltâ€"time _ was _ called as |two goals were foreed through . by .\ Gait‘s speedy forward line. ‘The second hall of the game and its result is too terrible a talé to reâ€" late in these columns. and to recall its features would not be any baim to the feelings of Berliners. .

The horses and cattle were on the ground floor while tte upper portion of the barn was filled with hay, straw, oats and ke larm implements. It is supposed the fire started in he hay mow and in a very few moâ€" nents the whole structure was the »gey ol the spreading flames. T helpless horses and cattle made desâ€" erate attempts to escape out of the doors which had been opened. Sevâ€" eral horses were rescued, . three by Dr. Hett, who was attending a{ catient in that part of the town: whenthe fre was first seen. His work was heroic and deserving of mention. The nightâ€"watch.inan narrowly & aped losing his life when attempting to rescue Mr. A. L. Breithaupt‘s horse. The animal became unmarâ€" ageable and jumped out of the open door, dragging his rescuer with him. The man was badly bruised and had to be removed to his home. ‘There were four horses burned to a crisp, two of them being family horses belonging to Mrs. C. Breitâ€" haupt, arother of them being a mate ol one of the most valuable . heavy draught teams in the country. The fourth horse was also a valuable aniâ€" mal. Among the cattle that were burned were two valuable Durham bulls and six cows. A _ number of implements and a large quantity of hay, strar~ grain, etc., were also destroyed. \ \ The building and its conteids are a total loss, the damage amounting to about $7,000, while the insurance is only $2,800. The â€" houses occupied by Massts. Durrant and Goetz were saved and the ‘damage will be slight. â€" The cause of the fire is a mystery as two of the employees had been im _ the stables about half an hbour, previously â€"and all was well then.. it is thought by many that the fire was the work of an incendiary. ‘The many _ friends of the Breitâ€" haupt‘s will sympathize with them in their unfortunate loss.
