POOL SELLERS BUSY.
How sharpers Try to swindle the Con-
( fiding Fellows.

How Sharpers Try to Swindle the Con-
| flding Fellows.
The pool sellers at Butte had heavy
days work, being kept busy from the
start to the finish. They are on the keen
jump all the time, and the man who ham
dies the change has no picnic. One of
them, the Miner says, said yesterday:
"You would be surprised at the games
some of these chaps try to ring in on us.
Of course we all know that races bring
with them, among others, the most un-
principled sharpers, who are up to every
trick to turn a dishonest penny. have
had frightened penny run in for $5
gold coin and have to scrutinize every
piece of money get with more than
usual keenness when one of these slick
outsiders passes me up some money. And
then the air Of innocence they put on
when it is showed back at them would do
credit to an actor Of the highest talent"
"And then the shifts some men will re
sort to to hedge. For instance, today a
young man went heavy on Senator in the
first part of the trot and spent almost his
last cent. When the horse began to 20
behind he wanted to hedge, but he hadn't
a cent. So he buys the field and puts up
Senator tickets with me as security. Of
course it was all right. Senator tickets
we're good security up to the last heat for
then. If Senator had won I was secure |
for the price of the pools on the field, but |
as Senator didn't win and his field tickets |
did, he was ahead just as much as he \
drew on those tickets. OF course he lost,
but not nearly as much as he would had
be not done this"

Simonds, "a years old, of Charlestown,
Mass, who was buncoed successfully out
OF $4,000 in Boston. The old gentleman
drew his check for that amount as a

and Post ran of with the money. He

MAXWELL DOOMED,
Affecting Interview with His Mother and
Sister in Jail.

/ @AAOCeAH8 4httftleW WlUn HIS Mother
Sister in Jail.
ST. LOUIS, August 1O.-The news OF
Governor Warehouses; refusal to grant 9
further respite to Maxwell was conveyed
to the condemned man by his confessor
Father Than. Maxwell blanched and
his lips trembled, but be soon recovered
After the departure of the priest the fol.
lowing telegram was hand ed Maxwell by
tie deputy: "Commutation of sentence
refused by Governor Morehouse. Respite
also refused" Maxwell read the message
slowly, folded it carefully and placed it
in his pocket. Then followed an affect
ing scene. Mrs. Brooks, the mother of
the condemned man, and Miss Brooks, his
sister, had learned Of the result at Jeffer-
son City through the coroners clerk j ohm
F. Ryan. They asked to be permitted to
go within the screen to meet the son and
brother, and the request was granted.
When they reached the cell Mrs. Brooks
rushed into Maxwell's arms and embraced
him warmly, kissing him twice and cry
ing out: "oh! my poor hunted boy!"
Then the sister embraced the doomed
brother. Both ladies were in tears, but
endeavoring to hide their emotions. Max
well was deeply effected and, for time,
lost control of himself, but soon rallied
and presented an undisturbed exterior.
In response to query he said he would
like to see his father before he died.
Maxwell lighted cigar and throwing
his head back, unconcernedly puffed out
o volume of smoke and coolly returned
to some manuscript he was correcting.
The father confessor was with Maxwell
Is minutes, and when he left the cell he
said to the Associated Press reporter that
he will go to his death bravely, asserting
his innocence. For the first time since
lis incarceration Maxwell realizes that he |

HELENA, August 1O.-The report is
current that Godas has been captured in
Butte.
(Godas is the half-breed who broke jail
in Helena where he was to be hanged to-
day for the murder of George Embody in
Dearborn canyon, ten months ago. The
crime was dastardly one, the victim be-
ing 70 years Of age and the object being
$lO7. The Indian smashed the old mans
head with an ak, and then set fire to the
house to cover up the deed. He crossed
the range and was captured in saloon at
Missoula, 140 miles west Of Helena.
George is bad Indian. In the summer
of 1882 he shot and killed another In
dian near Saddle lake, but escaped pun
ishment on the ground that the shooting
was accidental. He marked his depar-
ture for Montana in the fall of 1886 by
killing COW belonging to D. Maloney Of
St. Albert, and stealing two horses, one
belonging to NJ. McCauley, Edmonton
and the other to Marcisse Beaudry Of st
Albert,1

NOW, ALL PLAY BALL.
The Season Of the Western
Association to Open This
Afternoon.
St. Paul to Play aides Moines
and Minneapolis at
Omaha.
Boston and Chicago Keep Up
Their Gait in the National
League.
New York Beats Philadelphia
Races and Other
Sports.

The new Western association begins
its season to-day, st. Paul opening at
Des moines, Minneapolis at Omaha,
Milwaukee at st. Louis and Chicago at
Kansas City. What the several teams
will do is very much of conundrum.
1t has been the fashion to guess that
Omaha would take the pennant
and that Des Moines and Kan
sas City would be very close
I'D. The ST. Louis, Chicago and Kansas
City papers. however, haven't SAID much
one way or another. At Omaha there
has been very self-satisfed feeling,
though the press has been very modest
and conservative in its remarks. DeS
Moines has been talking at a furious
rate, and all Iowa is already convinced
that the Hawkeye team has only to
reach out and take the Spalding trophy.
The Milwaukee papers, with far less
reason. have also dinned into the public
ear that the Cream City nine
was quite good enough to take
first place. In neither st. Paul
nor Minneapolis is their disposition TO
claim a high position for the local
teams. They are not expected 10 WiD
the pennant, but they have, grown IN
public favor since they administered
four thrashings to Omaha. st. Paul. is
doing well with the willow, fielding,
well and running bases with good Judg-
ment and great speed, but it must be
admitted that the team is not strong in
the box. Sowders will doubtless de-
velop into good twirler, but his youth
is against him. Duryea cannot be with
the team for two weeks, Anderson is
only an average man, Tuckerman is not
good for more than two winnings in
every six games, and Veach is in such
poor form that he will probably be kept
in left field. All things considered, st.
Paul is due for about fifth place. A
fair guess on the standing of the teams
at the seasons close would be Kansas
City, Omaha, Des Moines, st. Louis, st.
Paul, Minneapolis, Chicago, MllWau-
kee. AT the pool rooms last night the
Des Moines, Omaha, Milwaukee and
Chicago teams sold favorites for to-day's
games at the rate of SO to 81.

A CLOSE GAME.

New York Wins by Good Luck.
New YORK, April 27.-New York de-
feated Philadelphia at the Polo grounds
to-day by fiuke. Welch and O'Rourke
were the battery for New York, while
Burlington and Mcclure performed the
same Office for the visitors. Gore, of
the New Yorks, is fast losing his rank
in the list of good players and his play
ing to-day was of the poorest order.
The only run made by Philadelphia
might have been saved had Gore thrown
the ball in in any shape. He threw so
weak that it bounded just beyond the
short stop and then rolled to the catcher.
Common also gave an exhibition of his
wonderful batting powers by striking
put twice. The Philadelphias played
much the better game, and had it not
been for an unfortunate error would
