armed with all the paraphernalia which
properly belongs to the backstop of an

the foot of the big tree west of Suffer

see what changes had occurred since
he was here last year.
But when he came back another

him, and all that was left of the ball
tossing outfit was Mixes bitter re-
membrance that he had left it there

CONTEMPTIBLE TRICK.
Some Pin.Headed Freak Scatters
Tacks Along a Public Street.

Weelhmen should give the Y-street
levee wide berth just now, and so
should the owners of horses.
Information was received last night
that some miscreant had distributed
tacks all along that roadway from
Thirteenth to Twenty-fifth street, and
doubtless the same thing was done be-
low the former point. Several riders
had their wheel-tires punctured yester-
day.
The Y-street grade has been favor
lite route to Oak Park, despite the loose
stones that cover its surface, and the
sneak who was guilty of the contempti-
BILE act evendently desired to do all the
mischief possible.
While the lacks were no doubt placed
there for the purpose of puncturing
rubber tires, they are also capable of
injuring horses feet.

the jerk threw him six or eight feet
In the air when the horse reached the
end OF the rope. He came down

THE Gazette, the official organ, pub

which show the relations between the two
states are unfriendly. This government
has published a statement saying Nicara
qua has for some time been treating Costa
Rica with certain marks of hostility and
trying to provoke this country, which has
had peace for so many years, into serious
conflict. 1t also states that President
lglesas is trying by all possible means to
avoid war, though it seems Costa RIGA Is
being driven into the conflict because of
President Zelayas hatred for Costa Rica.
Neighhoring states, which are practically
in IA constant state of war, have nothing to
lose financially or otherwise by war. Costa
RIGA would have much to lose in commerce
and advancement. The main cause of the
trouble has been the Imprisonment of Con
sui Busch in Nicaragua.
This government asserts that after two
months, during which time Consul Busch
has been in prison. no proof has been
| found OF any .misdeed on his part. Nicara-
qua has been asked for an explanation and
