Council Proceedings
The regular meeting of the
city Council was held Monday evening, with all members present. W. H. Wagner addressed the
Council on the question of the new garbage dump and said that he did not think the price
asked for the piece of ground that they offered for sale was excessive, $150 an acre. The
ground is near the C. H. and D. railroad south of Sidney. A motion prevailed to have the
Council act on this question as a whole and to meet at the call of the President.

Baseball Club
A meeting was held
Thursday evening by a number of base ball enthusiasts for the purpose of organizing a base ball club in this city. A club was
organized with the following line up: Charles Elliott, catcher; Ed Seal, pitcher; Sam
Seal, shortstop; Harry Kana, first base; Tully Potter, second base; Weber Hussy, third
base; Charles Kiting, left field; Wm. Casey, center field; Louis Kings, right field;
Oliver Elliott and Will Curtis, substitutes. Charles Taylor was selected as manager of the
club. With the proper encouragement from our citizens, this will make an excellent club to
represent Sidney during the coming summer. The first game will probably be played with
Troy on the afternoon of Decoration Day
in this city, on the grounds at the top of the Orbison hill. Shelby County Democrat, May 26, 1899
