WHIST LEAGUE TROPHY.
The Chicago Duplicate Club Wins for
the Third Time.

The playing for the American Whist
League trophy goes right along. although
it is hard to secure results from the west.
A week ago last Saturday the Chicago club
defeated the Oaks of Austin and last
Saturday night the Ravenswood four We're
their opponents. Forty-eight boards were
played. Ravenswood gaining 1s and Chi
cago p tricks. the latter being victorious
by tricks. This makes the third straight
win for the Chicago Duplicate Club, and
1t will probably take an exceptionally
strong four to beat them out of the trophy.
The next challenge in order is the Mime
apolis Whist Club and the Duluth and In
dianapolis clubs follow. Before the trophy
season in the west was inaugurated the
experts of the east picked the Chicago club
as the winner. and Indications point to
their predictions coming right.
The largest crowd of the season is ex-
pected at the Columbia Athletic Club next
Wednesday evening. when the regular
weekly whist contest takes place. The
Stafford system of scoring has added great
ly to the pleasure of play. and has no
doubt contributed considerably toward in
creasing the attendance Wednesday nigats.

HAFFORD WILL PLAY.
Prospects of GeOrKetown's Varsity
Nine Go Ip at the Announcement.


The prospects of the Georgetown tniver-
sity base ball nine now better than
ever-in fact the stock has gone up with
a Jump This is due to the announcement
that Hafford. the clever little third base
man. will be allowed to play. The rector
OF the university announced that Hafford
was taken off probation yesterday. and the
news will be welcomed by every lover of
the game.
Over eighteen men have been measured
for suits-in fact, all those who were taken
to the training table will get them. This
move bears out the statement of Mr.. King,
who has said that he would insist on play
ers keeping up to the standard or going to
the bench. The makeup of the team will
at no time be a certainty. This method has
been rendered possible at Georgetown this
year by the presence of many good men.
Things are pretty even for some of the
positions. and the old-timers will be forced
to keep hustling or step aside.
Manager Moore has issued a very taste
full schedule in blue ard gray. The season
tickets will be the same as last year: that
IS. the price will be $3. There will be an
other ticket issued, however to be known
as grand stand season ticket. 1t will cost
81. These tickets may be obtained at Tap
pans or from Manager Moore.

The Killing of Darne1I.

Tom Darnell, noted cowboy and
vaquero, was killed at Central Monday
evening, at o'clock, by A. J. Fowler,
successor to the business to J. G. Civ
ems, says the Silver City Enterprise.
Darnell had arrived in town that after.
noon, and Immediately started to get
drunk. Toward evening he went into
err and finding a colored man
acting as bar tender he became
very abusive. After an ex-
change of words with Fowler he took
his departure, remarking as he left
that he would see you again. old
man." He then went to H. ].
Hutchinson's store and corral where
he had left his horse and his weapons.
and demanded that the outfit be given
him; saying that he chad to kill -
niger and tall white man." Mr..
Hutchinson tried to induce him to go
to bed but he would not do so. Some
went and notified Fowler to
be on his guard. Darnell procured his
arms and went back to Fowler's ss-
loon. He stood outside peering in at
the window for q short time. He then
entered the saloon and started toward
Fowler who was at the end of the bar.
Fowler warned him to keep back as he
uou ue6ro VI Ills snreALs. O6rnell cOu-
tinued to advance making a
gun. Fowler retreated to q parti-
tion In the rear of the room drawing
his un and warning Darnel to desist.
Darnell followed; closing in on Fowler
he attempted to grasp Fowler's pistol
with his left hand and to pull his own
pistol with the right hand, at the same
time saying, Damn you, will get you
now anyway" He missed his grasp at
Fowler's weapon and his own pistol
At this point Fowler fired one shot
which struck Dsrnell in the left
breast and entering pierced his heart,
he dropped to the floor dying almost
instantly. Darnell was an extraordi-
parily good cattle man and vaquero,
but exceedingly qusrrelsome when
under the influence of liquor. He
went as q member of Troop 81 of the
Rough Riders but with the others of
that troop remained at Tampa. It
seemed to have soured his disposition
that he did not get over to Cuba to
fight. Since his return he had been
exceedingly disagreeable and was con-
sidered an extremely dangerous man.
He had recently made several very
bad gun plays and only two weeks ago
fred two shots at one of his comrades
when in Mexico bringing some
cattle across the line For
This and other such breaks Mr., Brock,
manager of the Diamond A cattle, had
ust discharged him. The body
was cared for by Mike Rose of Deming,
MS Rough Rider comrade, and Mr..
Brock, they coming from Deming and
Whitewater respectively to look after
The remains. IA coroner's jury was en-
oannelled and after hearing the testi-
nony, fully exonersted Fowler from all
blame in the matter.

THE proposition that the Rough
Riders reunion be held in this city
has attracted widespread attention, not
only in this section of the country but
in the north and east as we'll. Our ex-
changes have commented upon the
matter, and the general sentiment is
decidedly favorable to holding the re-
union here. The arguments for it are
SO strong as to be unsnswerable, and
those newspapers which oppose, Ell
Paso are obliged to resort to abuse and
bullying in order to strengthen their
very weak case. It seems that
we are to meet the determin-
ed opposition of certain ele-
ment in New Mexico. so this is to be
discounted in advance. Ell Paso has
everything in her favor. She is CEN
trail. she is the greatest city within
circle of six hundred miles radius, and
when she starts in to do thing she
does it right 1t is easy to foresee that
all our people will unite most heartily
to make this scheme 60 through, and
that being assured, every Rough Rider
In the country will swear by Ell Paso to
his dying day.

THE wrongly called "annexation"
proposition has been very generally
commented upon by the press OF
the country. The news was sent
out by the correspondents, and the
country is interested in the matter
very much. 1t is we'll that this matter
is arousing so much interest, but we
should like to see the question treated
with a little lees ignorance of the
points involved. FL Paso has no desire
to be annexed" to New Mexico. But
she has strong desire to be the me-
tropolis, not necessarily the capital, of
q new state, to be formed of the west
ern portion of Texas and the southern
portion of New Mexico. There is an
Important distinction between the two.
It has been seemingly agreed upon by
the press to call the proposition to
formation of a new "Rio Grande
state.'' So let us drop che expression
''annexation" and adopt "Rio Grande
statehood" in it's place.
