Davenport Gets its Long coVeted
Prize in Admission TO the Western
Rail Association.

Davenport Gets its Long Coveted
Prize in Admission to the Western
Bail Association.
A telegram came to the new base ball
company in Davenport yesterday after
noon, signed by President Morton and
Director Thompson of the Western asso-
citation. stating that Davenport would be
admitted to the association for 1000.
An answer was Immediately sent back
that no such price would be paid. But
late last night President Morton wired
that the Western association directory
had decided to let Davenport have the
Minneapolis franchise for $500. The
terms were accepted, and W. Il. Lucas
left at once for Chicago to complete
the details of the transfer. The stock
company in Minneapolis was anxious to
keep the franchise. and was willing to
play out the schedule in Minneapolis, but
that company was unwilling to pay any
thing for the franchise The Western
association directory notified the Daven-
port company that unless it accepted
their terms, Davenport would never be
given the chance again to 60 in the asso-
citation The terms were accepted on
condition that the Western ASSOC
citation schedule be changed, and
this is one of the principal things
which calls Mr.. Lucas to Chicago. The
schedule will be so arranged that the
games played in Davenport will not be
so frequent as to cause the sport to grow
monotonous. Mr.. Lucas will, in all
probability, be appointed msnsger of
Davenports club, for it is he who will
organize it and the public may not ex-
pect to see anything but good club in
this city. number of good players of
the late Minneapolis team, including
kemmler. the old Davenport catcher,
late of the st. Pauls, will likely form
part of the new Davenport club. With
in week Davenport will have good
club and playing in the Western sssocia,
ton
This is truly good news for the sport
loving community of Rock Island, and it
is to be hoped that this time the matter
is finally and permanently settled, though
to hear tonight that the entire deal has
fallen through, would not be surprising
If all works well, Mr.. Lucas has the abil
ity TO place club at Davenport equal tc
if not better than the one with which he
began the season, Reising and Phillips
should be members of it.

q. T.. Mayne's Fast Horses.

The fast horses of C. E. Mayne, some
of which he drove when residing in this
vicinity year ago. were taken possession
of by the sheriff of Omaha the other even
ing, subject to an attachment of $50 900
brought against Mr.. Msyne by Charles
Corbett, of Omaha. Mr. Mayne is again
in possession of his horses.
Mr.. Mayne stated to reporter in the
presence of Corbett's attorney that the
attachment on the stock WAS taken out
| by Mr.. COrbett to protect his mortgage,
| and that his action WAS based on a rumor
that came from the Platte Valley ranch
that he (Msyne) was selling and dispos,
ing of the stock to avoid the payment of
this note held by Corbett
''As soon as explained the matter to
Mr.. Corbett," said Wayne, he was sat
istied and withdrew all of his proceed
ings. of course, he did not withdraw
his mortgage claim The note he holds
against me must he paid, of course, and
as soon as settle that. the mortgage on
the stock will be released.
Il have several good live stock deals
about closed up by which would have
been able to settle this note All want
at the hands of my creditors is little
time and every debt owe will be settled
and | will have plenty left If they
force my stock to a sale of course il
won't sell for what il is worth and we
will all suffer.
81 can't help the papers talking about
me at this time, but ii is ridiculous the
way one of them spoke yesterday of my
weeping to Corbett and getting possession
of my stock by my tears MIR. Corbett
and had few minutes talk and came
to perfect understanding in our affairs
There were no tears shed by any one.
You will see that everything will be all
right yet"
Mr.. Corbetts attorney stated that his
client and Mr. Mayne had come to an
agreement about the mortgage and at.
tschment, and that the note would be
paid all right and Mr. Corhett would
not ask for any $1,000 damages as
claimed in his petition for attachment fol
