EN- ROUTE TO PRISON
Occupants of the Notorious Bullpens
Sentenced to San Quentin for OBJ
structing United States Mails.

Ten men who were recently convicted
of having obstructed United States mails
during the progress of the great Occur
d 'Alene strike and who endured the hard
ships Of the bullpens for nearly six
months, arrived in this city en- route to
San Quentin prison last night. Each, I'M
less he secures a new trial with favor
able results, will serve a term of twenty
two months and pay a fine of $1,000. The
prisoners rested for the night in the
Broadway jail and will be taken to prison
this morning. They came from Moscow,
Idaho in q special car in charge OF Mar
shall Ramsey and Deputy j. T. Campbell
Of Boise city, Sheriff w. II. Buchanan
and Deputy Sheriffs P. c. West, George
Howard, j. l.. Naylor and George Aennic
gerholz of Latah County, Idaho. Nine of
the men we're miners in the Last Chance
mine at Wardner and the tenth of the
party was a reporter on the 1daho state
Tribune If Wallace.
The names of the convicted miners are;
L. Sala y. Avanola, 2. O'Donnell, J.
Luchinetti, NJ. Malvey, G. Burroughs, A
The reporters name is Francis Butler;
They were all convicted in a United
States court at Moscow on November .,
and were sentenced on the following day
Last Saturday they left for San Francis
CO. All repeat the Well-known tales OF
the seventies and outrages of the bull
pens, where they were confined, together
with 800 other prisoners, until the com
mencement of their trials, about three
weeks ago. OF the treatment they re-
ceived at the hands of the Marshals who
brought them to this city they have
naught but words of praise. Patrick Red
dy. who represented them as attorney,
will attempt to secure for all Of them new
trials. and also their release on bonds
pending the decision of the court as to
whether or not they may come to the bar
of justice once more.
1t was the opinion Of the citizens at
Moscow while the trial at which the men
were convicted was in progress that the
Jury would exonerate the accused, The
testimony all appearing to tend to prove
their innocence. Their verdict, however,
was otherwise and came as a surprise.
AS the train steamed out of Moscow with
the prisoners, who created many touch
ing scenes in their farewells to their fam
lilies and friends brass bands played and
the prisoners were cheered to the echo.

SACRAMENTOS CHOSEN
TO MEET A PICKED NINE
Eastern Ball-Players and the Capital
City Team to Compete on Thanks
OjUjnC nau

AS has already been published in the
sporting columns of The Call, the Eastern
baseball players who are wintering on
this coast will, under the management of
the well-known umpire, Jim" Melon
aid, play the teams of the California
League Immediately after its season
closes. The initial game will be played
at Recreation Park, this city, on Thanks
giving day. The Sacramentos, who have
a firm hold on the pennant, have been
chosen to meet the crackajacks, and the
fans may look forward to great
game. The only Jack" Sheridan, so well
known to the followers of the diamond
as an umpire in the heyday of the ma
tional game in this city, and who later
distinguished himself in the same ca
pacity in Eastern leagues, has been
chosen to umpire the series. 1t is under
stood that the other teams of the league
Will be given an opportunity of testing
their strength against the all-star aggre-
cation.
Fred Chance. who did so well as mem
Der of the Chicago nine, is scheduled to
chosen James Hughes, the phenomenal
pitcher who helped Brooklyn win the pen
nant this season; Phil Knel, who has
twirled himself into the hearts Of the
who pitched good ball for the Oswego
nine.
Samuel Mertes, the fast base runner
and heavy batter of the Chicago team,
will probably play first base. Beckley,
first baseman of the Cincinnati team, is
expected on the coast and If he comes in
time he will play the initial bag and
Mertes will be shifted to another position.
Popular Henry Reitz of the Pittsburgs
will cover second base. He is wonder
in that position and will give the local
players points on how to cover the
cushion kid" Hulen, who played short
for Colorado nine, will occupy third
base Although left-handed he can throw
unerringy and quickly to first and he
covers a vast bit of territory while in the
game Harry Lockhead is scheduled to
cover short, the position in which he was
seen when he played with the Gilt Edges.
Lockhead put up great ball on the Cleve-
land team and as he has not had time to
lose form will surely play with his usual
vigor. Mcdonald has picked three stars
for the outfield George Van Haltren Of
the New York team will play center,
Johnny Mccarthy of the Hartfords and
Pat Meaney of the Atlantic League will
cover right and left field respectively.
The men will begin practicing together
a week before Thanksgiving and will be
in prime condition to give an exhibition
of the game as it is played by experts.
