Catcher Decker In Trouble Again.

Catcher Decker In Trouble Again.
E. Harry Decker, the catcher of the New
Haven base ball club, was arrested yester-
day afternoon on. the Howard avenue
grounds for freud in civil suit brought
by Hurle & Co., the tailors, of SO Center
street, charged with securing goods under
false pretenses. About two weeks ago he
ordered clothes amounting in value to
about 500, in payment for which Decker
gave a check for $75 signed by E. B. Mum
son, of Munson & Co., on the Merchants
National bank. The check was returned
as no good, the firm keeping their account
at the Mechanics bank. Decker afterward
gave the firm a check on the City bank of
Philadelphia for 500, but it was learned
that he had no account there and in conse-
quence the.frm decided to take summary
measures. E. B: Munson emphatically
pronounces the check forgery and it is
understood will push the matter to the
bitter end.
The matter at the grounds yesterday af-
ternoon was arranged by the players get
| ting togethsr and subscribing $50 with
which to pay the sherif's costs, and he
| was able to take part in the game. Of the
amount, it is said the principal sum was
| contributed by Sid Farrar.
The management announce emphatical'
| ly that after this last eseapade they are en-
| tirely through with Decker and he will not
| participate in any more games played by
| the local team.
Notes From the Diamond.
Sid Farrar is now captain of the local
team.
Sam Trott, late of Newark, is now man.
aging the Troy team.
Doran will probably oficiate in to-mor-
rows game against Troy.
Jack Doran and Snap Lang will posi-
stively play with the local team, probably
before the close of the week.

the local management and Theisen, WHIT

Cudworth has been given ten davs' no

A word about the late arrived
China Matting-was worthy an
earlier coming, not for the price
sake only, but for the prettiness
of patterns and general excel
lence.
These last designs have more
character than ever about each
individual pattern. They are
tempting at the prices, too
tempting to be left; perhaps
you'll find it SO.
These are the sorts:
Imported Damask and Japan
csc at 4oc the yard. The finest
quality that comes and what
most carpet houses think mode
rate priced at another ten cents.
The heaviest Canton Seam
less Mating. The most de-
pendable for strong service at
3oc the yard. An inquiry around
will tell you the price is below
the market.
The best jointed seamless in
fine fancy patterns, at 2oc and
25c the yard.

Little has been heard about the Harvard
freshman crew this year, but it is safe to
believe it is a good one.
The course on the Thames has been re-
surveyed and new stone posts set on the

AS to thechances Of Yale in the Varsity
race with Harvard, it is exactly as Captain
Cook remarked: ono one knows what the
chances of either college are. The'race on

If signs ever show or indicate which
way the tide will turn, the Harvard crew
are badly hoodooed, for the first time that
the flag was hoisted over their headquar-
ters it was turned wrong side up. The
mistake was Immediately discovered and
rectifed but many of the sailors, river

can never win after that, as it is q fore

when hard pressed once tried TO collect
all the money that was due him. One
debtor was unable to give him cent,
but compromised BY handing over to
Mr.. Sheldon some sand lots in what is
now Market street, San Francisco.
Sand lots were not very valuable in
those days, and Mr.. Sheldon found no
opportunity to dispose of his until he
saw that he might make pretty sum

mi w.s,,s Head.

The remarkable career of old Tom
Starr. the notorious Cherokee desper-
ado, which has lately appeared in
print. recalls an incident in his life,
the plainest statement OF which sounds
like a romance. Bill West was old
Toms brother-in-law, and the most
powerful man OF his day in the Cheru-
kec Nation. A blow from his fist was
as deadly as Winchester bullet.
With this formidable weapon he killed
several men and q law was passed de-
claring Bills fist a deadly weapon.
Old Tom and Bill had been close COM
panions. but one day they quarrelled
over tho division of the spoils of a
plundering expedition. West struck
at Starr, but the willy savage lodged
the blow and at the same time deftly
placed a long, keen knife-blade be-
tween the formers ribs. This was the
tragic end of Bin West. At this time
there was a reward of So 900 offered
for Vests head and So, 600 for that of
Starr. Old Tom was in need If ready
cash and determined to run the risk
of losing his own head by trying to
secure the reward on that of his bro
ther-in-law. So, after killing West,
he cut OF his head, put ii in gunny-
bag and proceeded to Tahlequah. the
capital, where he presented his gory
charge to the Chief, with the proof
that it was the right head and de-
manded the reward. The Chief and
the Treasurer are both old men, and
hey knew old Toms reputation. They
also knew that the reward on Vests
head was only s. 900. while that for
Old Toms was $4,000. But Starr
was there himself, and meant busi-
ness. At the muzzle of a gix-shooter
the Treasurer forked over the s., 600,
and Old Tom departed with the
money, to the delight and astonish-
ment Of the people of Tahlequah,
without killing single person.
