AS BAD AS BULL FIGHTING.
Two Wolves From Pittsburg Chewed Up
by Hound. at Greensburg.


GREENsBURG, Dec. -[Special. 1.-The
great wolf chase took place near here this
afternoon on the stock farm of Paul H.
Haeke MANY friends of Mr.. Hacke were
present, and people from the surrounding
country sweIled the crowd. DR.. ]. r.
crimes, of Pittsburg, conducted the affair.
II was not a brilliant success as a chase,
since the beasts were not given much
chance for their lives. Two prairie wolves,
feet of foot and savage and swapping, ar
rived here from Pittsburg at . O'Clock.
They were taken to the farm and one of
them loosened in the dog kennel, covering
but one acre of ground and surrounded by a
high board fence.
-Four of the handsome wolfhounds re-

Believing that the second wolf would
give lively chase, even against the entire
pack OF wolfhounds, IA in number, he was
turned loose in a ten-acre field. There was
9 wild scene for moment, but the wolfwas
easily captured. Just as he was crouching
for leap over the fence and into a dense
thicket the leading hound caught him by
the neck and dragged him back to the howl
ing pack, where he was torn TO pieces in

This chase is the first of series that will
be held on the Hacke farm during the win

days, when it is expected the animals will
be given better chance for their lives The
Hacke kennel of wolfhoundS is said to be
The finest in the country, and was displayed
to advantage to-day, though tine first wolf
left marks of his fangs that Will not soon be
forgotten.

AMATEURS AND SALARIES.
A Meeting of the County League to Discuss
an Interesting Question,


an Interesting Question.
There is to be an interes ting meeting Of
the County Baseball League next Tuesday
evening. The meeting has been called by
the East End, Williamsburg, Mansfield and
Climax clubs. Strange to say, it is to dis
cuss the salary question. That is probably
a new feature among amateurs, but when
explained it is all right.
It has been the custom to pay some play
ers what is termed their expenses for losing
a days work to play. That has always been
deemed all right, but it has been learned
that one or more clubs are making big in
ducements to players in the way of Offering
them extravagant expenses. For instance,
it is stated that one club has offered Thomp-
son, of the East End Gyms, SIS per game to
pitch for them.
The proposed meeting is to adopt rule
prohibiting any club in the County League
from paying any player more than IA certain
sum (s3 or ~ per game. There certainly is
a great interest centered in the County
League already.

2 O'Clock this morning by an excited coun-
trvman named Albert Ramsey, who had
travelled several miles through the country
with shotgun. Ramsey told a terrible tale
of the persecution Of g relative, Miss

owner of the shotgun, and tramped miles
through the rain TO the scene of the
trouble.
Meanwhile the story gained currency, and
bv daylight a large crowd awaited the val
liant marshal with his prisoner. Grannon
was tried at once, and the evidence against
him was so strong the crowd became excited
and threatened violence. Miss Jones, the
girl, took the stand, and said Grannon was
the best friend she had; in fact, her lover,
and had only threatened to carry her off

success.

on the Case-N Witnesses for thoS Defense
/ Declared TO BE Per1urCrs.

lott, convicted Of murder in til . second
degree for tho killing Of A. Closborn
lust February, was yesterday s, sentenced
to thH Ohio Penitentiary for lifel There
was a great crowd present, but'not one
Of the defendants relatives was In court.
Judge Pugh first took up the m ption for
a new trial and reviewed the evi hence in
the case, commenting in q .ecathing
manner upon the testimony oil certain
witnesses Tor the defense, who were de-
clared TO have perjured th emselves
without stint. The killing of Osborn
was characterized by the court as delib-
crate malicious, relentless murasr. The
verdict was declared to be not9 against
the weight of evidence, and tbs motion
to set it aside was overruled. A motion
for stay OF the sentence pending appeal
to the supreme court was ovelruled and
the prisoner was asked II he had any
thing TO say before receiving sentence.
Elliott arose and made a speech OF
some length, in which he declared be-
fore the Immaculate God that he was
innocent; that he had not expected to
meet Osborn on that fatal laI; that
Osborn began the shooting. FIe also
claimed the jury had done him great
wrong. He said no would bid goodby,
to liberty with the reflection that lie
was victim Of circumstances and was
suffering for his devotion to the cause
OF pure womanhood.
Judge Pngh then sentenced Elliott to
imprisonment at hard labor during the
period Of his natural life.
