was not responsible for her acts when the
crime was committed he would suspend
sentence and take her personal bond to
appear at the January term of the court

Dunn Estate Dttf,cnIttes.

Another turn in the troubled administra-
ton of the estate of the late Patrick Dunn
came to notice yesterday in a petition filed
by Cecilia N. Dunn, one of the children,
now of age. She says that Thomas NJ.
Fields, the attorney who was put in charge
of the minor childrens interests, on Feb
ruary 20 received from c. "A. Brandenburg
and A. "A. Birney $11 ,5S3 in securities,
realized upon them 81 ,S66.66, loaned from
this money 81 ,957 on the Dunn homestead at
No. sos Sixth street southwest, So 900
on No. 501 Vermont avenue and paid $722
to A. A. Ashburn. Yet there remains
unaccounted for S2,904. Mr.. Fields, it
is alleged, refuses to account for this re-
naming sum. She asks that Mr.. Fields be
called upon to state what moneys he has
received from the Dunn estate and what
he has done with it.

SOLDIER BOYS ARE BATTERS
W. L. l. Nine Played ALI Around
the City Postofice Team.
Their Field Work Fine and Pitcher
Wise up TO Tricks"-Gray Coats
in Very Bad Form.

With Billy Wise in the box, Gilroy
behind the bat and an Al team in the
field, the Washington Light Infantry nine
had everything their own way with the
City Post-office boys in the game at Ma
tional Park yesterday afte rnoon.
Although the Letter Carriers rooters
were out in full force they failed to put
up as good a game as they did Saturday,
for they played at a great disadvantage
The men seemed TO be placed badly. The
management put in Rebstock TO pitch and
left Hamacher on the bench; Ogle was
out of place at short and Ambrose put up
up very stiff game Had either Ogle
or Hamacher occupied the box and Reb-
stock been allowed to play his old posi-
ton the defeat would undoubtedly have
been less pronounced.
The Infantry nine played winning bah
from the very beginning, allowing no op-
portunity for star play to escape them.
They handled the bali with great skill
and used the stick with telling results.
Billy Wise pitched a very creditable
game, although his puzzling curves at
times were hit very hard. Gilroy caught
eXcellently behind the bat, Winkiemau
played second base like a veteran, and
Lee at short proved an immense success.
Phil Wisner, as usual, covered third base
in good style, and Manager, House with
his little Shrine uniform was noticed at
times in the coaching box.
The Post-officers, with the exception of
very few, had an "off day" Frank
Rebstock, the Comedian "Reb'' even. had
the blues, and that old familiar voice of
his was not once heard during the game.
Fogarty fell all over himself at third base.
and Hennessy on one occasion came very
near making a successful attempt at throw
ing the ball from center field over the
