AMos RusIr WHITING A nnnl,

Amos Rusie, one Of the best baseball
pitchers that ever curved a ball over

ing in secIusion in a suburb OF Muncle
Ind, and has given up bad habits az the
request OF his wife. II is said Mrs Ru.
sic made this a condition before remar.
ryng Amos after their divorce last
spring
II was said that Mrs Rusie exacted a
promise from Amos that he would new.

ticularly not the nelghborhood OF One
Hundred and Twenty-hfth street He
was also required to promise that he
would never again play baseball except
as a recreation with his fellow towns
men Of Muncie and environs.
All this Rusie agreed 10, and also In
future to avoid bad whisky, indulgence
in which had frequently caused the big
pitcher to imagine his wife was a
League ball. These halluclnations are
said TO have led Amos to attempt to not
only hurl Mrs. Rusie over the home
plate. but also convert her into an out,
shoot with a second story window as
an objective point.
But now all this Is changed. Al.
though nobody in New York ever sus-
pected Ruse OF possessing literary abil-
ity. he is said to have buried himself
in obscurity for the purpose OF writing
a book Of his knowledge Of baseball and
relating his "reminiscences Of the game.
Rusle has been offered many opportu-
mites 20 write about the game and the
players; but, according TO the report,
"he desires TO tell all he knows that is
interesting within the covers Of his own

Alleged Killing of Six Amer;-

"News has reached RI Psso that six Americans were shot in the I.1uI country sn ths 1s,h by order of Gen. eral Torres, iu com nand ot the Nsxi. cans troops operating sgaisst the Ya- qui Indians in the state Of Sonora.
 Last night letter was received in 1 this oity from Gusymss, Mexico, stat ins it is reported, on reliable author ity, Ia that city that six American prospscssrs-Davs Cusick.

 According to ths story from Quay mas, the Americans were down on the southeast eide of the Bacatete Moun- tsins prosnec,ing for gold when they met . band of Yaquis and, dssiring to cultivate their friendship, invited the red men to break bread and eat salt with them. While the Indians and the pale faces were eating they were surprised by Mexican soldiers, who de- handed the surrender of the dInsrs.
 "Thinking they hal nothing to fear from the soldisrs Of . civilized country the Americans offered ns resistance. But frsn the fact that they were arm sd to the teeth, ss the saying goes. and were found in company of enemies of She Mexican government, it sesas thst General Torres jumped te the cenelusion that the Americans had been fighting with the h. disns, and ordered that the prospso- tors be shot without trial"
 The above is from the last issue Of the Fl Psso Times. A report reached Tombstone Saturday that several Americans were shot during an attack os Ysquis but the repsr. could not be traced ts any reliable source. The above information if true, will doubt lees involve inisrns;is1s! complies tions. An effort has been nads to ssesrtaia the truth of the report and further information is awaited.
