DODGED THE LAWYERS.
Deputy q. S. Marshal Prescott Es-
capes With Alleged Counter
feiters.

Deputy United States Marshal E. A.
Prescott returned from Jewell county this
morning bringing with him Frank and
Matthias Jeorg, the two Goung men arrest
ed on the charge of raising silver certfi-
Gates from 81 to $50 and passing two of
them in MankatO on the Fourth of July
The two boys are the younger of a family
of eight sons. and their father is one of
the WealthieSt farmers in Jewell county.
The boys had been released on bond, and
when Mr.. Prescott arrived in MankatO he
was informed that they We're at their
fathers home. Il miles out of MankatO-
He hired a buggy and drove the l. miles
into the country, but when he arrived at
the farm it took him several minutes to
decide whether TO make the arrest or first
return to MankatO for assistance. The
boys were sitting in the yard with their
six older brothers and their father with
them. and to man the scene wore
rather formidable appearance. How
ever. Mr.. Prescott went in braVely and
stated his business, and the boys told him
they were willing to accompany him pro-
vided he would not handcum them. This
was agreed to.
As soon as the attorneys for the two
boys heard of Mr. PrescOtts arrival in
Mankato they made arrangements to
bring habeas corpus proceedings to Sc
cure their release. intending to file papers
on the deputy United States marshal when
he returned with his prisoners to the town.
MIR. Prescott spoiled this by driving to
Jewell City instead of MankatO and there
boarding the train.

TOPEKA,S BALL TEAM.
Players Who are Among the Best in
the West.

best ball teams in Kansas, an aggrega-
ton of hard workers and conscientious
men.
The players comprising the team

Mauck is an old time National league
player.
EyIer's record with Washington was
for a time paramount in base ball gos-
sip.
Fear has been identified with the
Western association for several years
and is a first class player manager.
Rebesman and GatewOOd have played
in Kansas for some time and their rep
utation is good.
Griffin, the short stop, is a Western
association player and Thiel on second,
has been in the same class
In the field Ash and Price have no
superiors in any league.
In the past Topeka has developed
players who have made phenomenal
records in the National league and Ash
and Price may be the next graduates.
In center. Bailey is a western associa-
ton player who last year stood tenth
in the batting order.
For several years Topeka has wished

the game have said they would gladly
support a first class team. The long
wished for team is here and the crowds
show the old time rOOters in their IA
miliar places.

RECEIVER FOR THE GRAND.
Mr.. James L. King is Appointed by
Judge Hazen.

Mr.. James [. King was today ap-
pointed re eiver of the Grand opera
house by Judge Hazen in the district
court.
The appointment is the first step in
the passing of the theater from the con-
troll of Mr.. L. NJ. Crawford, who Sc
cured charge of it several years ago.
It was made on application of QuintOn
& QuintOn, attorneys for Mr.. L. B.
Kendall of Denver, who holds a second
mortgage on the property for $4,000.
Mr.. Crawford admitted that the house
in it's present shape could not pay the
taxes and interest.
The theater will probably be leased
at once by Mr.. King, and arrangements
made to open it in competition with
the Crawford theater at the commence
ment of the coming theatrical season.
AS yet it is not known who may be the
lessee.
The property will be sold under fore
closure proceedings within the next 80
days, and will probably be bought in
by Mr.. Kendall. In that event it is
understood the house will be renovated
and placed in first class condition.

The miners speak very bitterly of the
way a few capitalists in Dawson attempt
ed to corner the provision market and
charge eXOrbitant prices for flour, beans,
