What Some ex-Angel Ball Players
are Doing.

What Some ex-Angel Ball Players
are Doing.
The Chicago Herald OF recent date
contains the following, part of which
will be OF interest to local baseball
cranks:
President Hart has corralled new
herd OF colts, and soon there will be a
batch of new faces on the team. None
OF the old ones will be released, but a
few may be laid off without pay. The
team has only won four games since
July Oath, and has shown no symptoms
Of improvement. Game after game has
been lost by execrable fielding and poor
work in the box. 1t may be impossible
to strengthen the box, as pitching tai
ent is rare, but 1t will be possible to
brace up the weak infield and the rather
loose jointed outfield. President Hart
announced yesterday that he had re-
ceived the signed contracts of Glenal.
vim. O'Brien, Hughey and Camp.
and is negotiating with several
others. He is determined that Chi

team capable OF winning a few
games by way of variety, and if neces-
gary will engage an entire nine. In the

turned loose. If only one of the new
men develops into good player he will
be satisfied. Glenalvin has been play
ing second base for the Oaklands, of the
California league. He is an ex-Colt and
is regarded as just the man for second.
He left California yesterday and is due
next week. His arrival may put Lange's
nose out of joint, although that hard
working player may be sent into the
outfeld. ]. J. O'Brien is an infelder
who has been doing good work for the
Augustus, of the Southern league. He
was with Brooklyn two years ago.
Hughey is pitcher from the Southern
league. He made good record while
member Of the Kansas City and Mil
waukee association teams. Camp is a
third baseman from the Atlantas. He
is hard hitter and q crack fielder. He
was given trial by st. Louis last year.
The other players are good men, and if
secured will help to patch up some of
the bad holes existing in the makeup of
the team" a-ssi sH 81

OVER A LAND CLAIM.
Michael swartz Charged With Threat
of Killing.


Michael swartz Charged With Threats
of killing.
Michael Swartz, who, it is said, is a
bad man from Acton, was brought in by
the United States marshal and lodged in
the county Jail yesterday.
Swartz is charged with threatening the
life OF E. E. Owen, and is held under
heavy bonds, which he is unable to give.
The trouble, it seems, arose over gov
ernment claim in the vicinity OF Acton,
which Owen took up some time ago ard
proceeded to improve, in accordance
with the requirements OF the law.
Owen expended considerable money
and time in improving his land, and it
never entered his head that anyone
would attempt to contest his claim.
However, upon returning from short
absence from his land one morning he
states that he found Swartz comfortably
ensconced in his cabin prepared TO stay,
and,when Owen demanded an explana-
ton he was coolly informed that he
(Swartz) had taken possession of the
lsnd, and that Owen had forfeited all
right to it on account of his absence.
Moreover, he was fully prepared to es-
tablish his right to the claim by the aid
of big shotgun which he carried, and
Owen was ordered to make himself
scarce around the ranch or prepare to
make his will, as he would blow the top
of his head off If he ever showed up there
again.
Owen, not appreciating this original
method of having his property confis-
Gated. at once had q warrant sworn out
against Swartz, and his arrest followed.
as stated.
Time for tho trial will be set on Mon
day next. In the meantime Owen ia in
possession of the land.

LABOR PARADERs

Arrested by tho Police for Disturbing tho
Peace.
Considerable excitement was created
around the police station about noon
Yesterday by Sergeant Jeffries marching
in with labor procession, consisting of
five men carrying banners, followed by q
large crowd.
The men arrested were John Rsnney,
H. W. Davis. H. L. Lawson. H. M. REM
mington and W. F. Sweet.
A charge OF disturbing the peace was
lodged against them and they were ar
raigned before Police Justice Seaman,
and the case set for hearing today at 2
O'Clock, the defendants in the mean
while being held in $50 bail each, which
was promptly furnished.
The cause which led to the parade
and subsequent arrest was the boycott
which has been placed on the restaurant
OF Melstead & Maxwell. on East Second
street, and the banners which were car
ried called the attention OF the public to
the action of the proprietors Of this
place in refusing to comply with the de-
mands OF the trades unions.
Among tae notices displayed were the
following:
''Patronize those restaurants friendly
to labor. Melstead & Maxwell are our
enemies"
"Waiters should have time enough to
eat. Melstead & Maxwell do not allow
this"
''Melstead & Maxwell believe in 13
hours day and seven days q week."
The trouble with the police arose over
the route selected by the procession,
which they claim was limited to Second
street, in the vicinity of the restaurant
in question.
A HERALD reporter saw Cyren E. Fisk
Of the Federated Trades association,
under which the men were acting. who
was pretty we'll wrought up over the ar
rest. He stated that the men had q
perfect right to parade the streets and
that the arreat was entirely uncalled
for.
The police, on the contrary, state that
the paraders were disturbing the peace
and obstructing travel on the street.
