POLO NOTES OF INTEREST.

Hartford Defeated Saturday Night
 New Haven Finished in Second
 Place-Meriden at the Rink To-
 Night-Benefit Game Tuesday and
 Waterbury Friday.
 The New Haven polo team won it's fifth successive game from Hartford on Saturday night. The score was 6 goals to 3. It was well earned vic tory and was a fitting close to what might be termed satisfactory season.
 True, it might have been more sat isfactory had New Haven finished at the top of the heap instead of New Britain. But all things considered, the team and the management are to be congratulated on the showing that has been made. New Haven held it's grip on first place for quite an eX- tended period. Force of circumstance es, however, over which the manage ment had little control forced them down the hill until they arrived at fourth place. Here their stay was of short duration. They steadily climb ed up again until they reached second, where they remain until another pen- nant can be fought for.
 Now that the league season is at an end and the New Britains at the top of the ladder, their friends hasten to congratulate the team, the manage ment and It's popular captain, genteel Willie Parsons, on the success of their labors. New Haven poloists wish them every success until the season of '97-'98 opens again.
 Tho onnjp1 m nh1irir,cy nta,- Peckham of the New Haven team has been very busy trying to arrange for a series of interesting games the pres- ent week and his efforts have been highly successful. Tonight Meriden appears at the rink. The team will be strengthened by the appearance of Conway in it's ranks and close game is looked for.
 Tuesday night the game will be for | the benefit of the old New Haven team, who will line up in their original | form against the present players. It | is to be hoped that the followers of | the game will show their appreciation | of the services rendered by turning out | in large numbers on Tuesday night to honor Spencer, E. Gavitt, Jordan,
 Frank Gavitt and Mallory for their splendid form and fine play during the
 greater part of the season. But for | their well earned victories New Haven
 would not to-day occupy the honorable position they do in the league. l The Waterburys are coming to play
 one of their protested games at the
 rink on Friday night. Waterbury say they will make it three straight. l There's many slip, etc. New Haven will have something to say in this matter. Whatever the result may be l the crowd will be without doubt the l largest of the season,
 The champion Fall River team will | play in New Haven March 29, 30 and April 1, Tuesday, Wednesday and Fri l day evenings. Applications are com
 ing in already for tickets. Owing to
 the heavy expense, the management | have increased the price of first row
 reserved seats to fifty cents. The rest
 of the prices remain the same as here-
 tofore.

BOYS, STRING MEUP"
COWBOY TANNERS LAST WORDS.
His Execution by Prospectors Bound
for Alaska, for the Killing of Two
OF the Party, of Which He Himself
WINS n Member.

SEATTLE. WASH. February D.
Boys, string me up, II you like, but re-
member you are hanging the steadest
man with a six-shooter that ever came
out OF Montana. You say It's all right
to hang me, and I guess 1t is. I'm only
sorry / didn't get the rest OF them"
With these words, Cowboy Doc" Tan
ner faced his executioners on the morn
ing of January %. at Valdez Pass. The
men who passed sentence on him were
members OF a party Of Massachusetts
prospectors. bound for the Copper-Riyer
country. Alaska. and the crime for wnicn
Tanner paid the penalty was the killing
of n. A. Call OF Worthington, MIMI
and William A. Lee, Of Lowell, Mass.
The expedition consisted of forty men,
and NJ. +. Tanner had Joined them at
Seattle. on the way north. He was sup
piled with an outfit and taken into mem
bership, but, unmindful Of the fact, ne
was cuarrelsome, and so overbearing
that his companions decided that ne
must leave the party. On the evening Oh
January LIST a meeting was held IN Can
tent, and during the conference the lol
lowing statement was made: we must
get rid of Tanner, let him take his snare
of the outfit and shift for himself we
are up here for business, ana we mean H.
We mean what we say
There were four men at the meetlng'
and no sooner had the remark neeh
made than the flap Of the little tent was
nulled aside. and the cowboy stood there,
six-shooter in hand. Boys, / overheard
your talk about me-" he said, deilpe-
rately. Pm here for business.
Before his victims realized what had
happened. Tanner had shot twice, ana
the bullets pierced Call and Lee through
the chest.
Tanner fred again, but his preceding
shot had extinguished the candle, ana
the bullet did not take effect.
One of the remaining members crouch-
ed behind some baggage. and the othsf'
cutting his way out of the tent, gave the
alarm. Tanner. supposing the three men
TO be dead, took a station in some Drush
and waited. 1t was not long before ne
was surrounded.
You'd better surrender your gum
was called out to him.
''If YOU say so, boys I'll do it, was MS
response, and then he handed over MS
weapon.
The miners at once convened, and by
an overwhelming majority decided that
Tanner should be hanged. When notiled
of the decision Tanner observed that ne
hoped they would not tantalize him py
strjnging him up and letting him down
again before he was dead. He was LED
out on the snow during the early NOM
ing. He fearlessly allowed the rope to
be tied about his neck, and 80 met MS
doom He was buried face downward.

saw such an exhibition Of nerve.

other than to say that at years of age

ALEX ANDRIA.
The Gas Department Tangle-Mr
Cook Heard From.

Cook Heard From. q.
ALEXANDRIA,, VA, February S-(Spe-
cial.)-No occurrence in recent years has
so stirred up this community as the dis
covery a few days ago of a shortage in
the accounts of Mr.. r. 7. Cook, Clerk
of the City Gas Department, and the SEN
sation was further intensified by the mys-
ferrous disappearance of that official. Mr..
Cook had been connected with the city
government for a number Of years, and
was regarded as thoroughly reliable ana
efficient officer. He is member OF the
Democratic Committee for Alexandria,
and is prominent socially and politicaliy
here: so when the announcement was
made of the tangled state Of affairs IN
the gas office and the sudden departure
from the city of Mr.. Cook 1t was received
with the greatest incredullty by a large
number of our people, many OF wnom are
still confident that he Will return ana
satisfactorily explain matters AS pre-
viously stated in the Dispatch, on Satur
day last friends Of the missing man made
good the shortage then known 10 De ef-

Cook. not appearing. was accordingly as
missed from the service of the city gov
eminent. and Mayor Simpson then con-
vened the Council in special session In
order 10 consider the situation as affect
ing the affairs of the Gas Department.
The Council met last night, and
message from the Mayor was read, set
ting forth the facts in the case ana SUD
hitting a detailed report from Auditor
Price and Deputy-Treasurer Normoyie'
which shows that the shortage is smaller
than at first thought, and that it will be
covered by the sum paid in by the friends
of Mr.. Cook.
After nearly a weeks silence, telegram
was Yesterday received here from Mr..
Cook. dated at Cincinnati, o., stating
that he had been confined to his bed for
several DAYS on account of sickness, but
would leave for Alexandria that night
and appear before the Mayor.
With this in view, Mr.. Greene, or the
Council. moved that further ACTON DE
nostnoned until the next regular meet
ing of that body. on the evening OF the
7th instant. and stated that he thought 1t
was unfair TO act upon the case without
giving Mr.. Cook a chance to defend MIN
self. He thought Mr.. Cook would be able
to explain everything to the satisfaction
OF all, and he felt that the absent Official
had committed no intentional wrong. Mr..
Greene's remarks were seconded by MI.
Smith, and the consideration OF the al
fair was then unanimously postponed I'M
til the next meeting.
The Council chamber presented very
animated scene being crowded to the
doors by highly interested spectators. A
number of prospective candidates for the
office held by Mr.. Cook were also on
hand.
