Tim Seeley at the Bat Me boys you’ve heard of “sportin’ things”, Where the boys all take a chance, Of course, there’s many different kinds That’ll make the best ones dance. But, for instance, if ye’es stop to think, You’ll guarantee it’s right, That the best game that was ever played Was with Seeley at the bat. Now, Seeley is a wonderous man, He’d make ye hold your breath, He can punch a ball clean out of sight, And bat it half to death. There is high salaried Kelly’s, That play for this and that, But they’re all back-numbers when compared To Seeley at the bat. Did ye’es ever notice one Tim’s face When he grabs that good, old bat, He looks so wise, and bats his eyes, Say, ‘twould make ye’es lift yer hat. And when he lines that baseb all out, Th4e landscape it looks fat, For even nature trembles When Tim Seeley’s at the bat. The attendance all look satisfied, For they know that Tim’s O.K., For sure, me boys, to show their joys, They give him a boquet. And, in future generations, lads, You’ll b e sure to raise your hat, When ye’es read on history’s pages Of Tim Seeley at the bat. -- “The Magoons.” [+] [cp] [M. note: a magoon was a brand of strawberry plant; were these his teammates?

Bowron then left the house and in a few minutes returned with a knife and a revolver. He started after his wife again when Chas. Noble,, who was out in the barn, hearing her cries for help, rushed into the house and started to interfere, and in consequence, received three ugly stabs -- one in the neck, one over the heart, and in the right side, before he could over-power him .

She was so long out that her provisions were almost gone and when the anchor was dropped the bottom of her water casks were scarcely damp. For over two weeks the captain and men had been living on short rations. The schooner left port in ballast and so little of it had she in her hold that she would not stand up in an ordinary breeze with all her sails set. Captain Jacobson said the vessel was four times almost within sight of Coquille river and each time the schooner was blown out to sea. The last time the schooner was carried down the coast off Monterey bay and for a week she was working het [sic] way back to this port. --S.F.
