of all of our men, then take some effective
means to show these arrogant club owners
that we are not to be trified with. The In
Structions we have already sent out to the
players include an order not to sign a Ma
tional League contract for next year until
President thinner, Griffith, Taylor and my
self give the word. If the league still re-
fuses to give in by the time it is ready to
open the season, there will be no ball. that's
all. We are prepared to make fight. even
without the help of the American League.

understand that the league magnates
brought 1t on by their bull-headedness and
double dealing. If ever there was shabby
trick on earth 1t was the one played on
us by President Soden of the Boston club.
He purposely mislaid our letter to the
league asking to have further conference,
and then tried to make us think 1t was all
mistake. If these magnates were on
the level, why didn't they meet us when we
said we would waive everything In our
proposed new contract, except the demands
made orally by Taylor before the commit
tee? I can answer that with the state
ment that they saw loophole through
which to escape, and they got out of a. tick
fish predicament because of mtsunder-
standing. No wonder the public and press
succeeded in killing base ball so dead that
a revolt of some kind would be good
thing for the sport. Our relations with the
American League people. on the other
hand, have been most cordial. They are
fair and open in their dealings and deserve
success. Some day We may be able to lend
them a helping hand"

Burgess Eastwood Dies After
Much Suffering.

Ernest, the little son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Burgess Eastwood, who recent
ly moved here from Sebree, died
Sunday morning at eleven O'Clock
from burns received last Thursday.
The child was nearly three years
old, and was in the habit of going
into one of the rooms and playfully
turning the lock, which was the
case at this time. The mother hear
ing screams from the room In which
the child had entered rushed to the
door to find it locked, and was some-
time in getting in the front window.
She found the child then in flames,
but as soon as possible, extinguished
them. A physician was sommoned
and the child lived until Sunday.
Elder j. w. Mitchell conducted
the funeral service at the family
residence Monday morning, and the
little body was taken to Sebree for
interment at eleven o'clock.
The bereaved parents have the
sympathy of the entire community
in their sad misforintune.

Barnett were among those who ac-
companied the family to Sebree with

stage manager, however, had a
wonderful genius for patching
up a hitch. When circumstances
were necessary, he would some
times lower a front scene and
tell the low comedian and cham

would arrange how the play had
to be continued.

Phoenix, Ariz., Feb. 10.-ln a
few weeks tie prevaricator OF
worldwide renown, Joseph Null
hatton, will be discharged from
the Insane Asylum of Arizona,
where he has been under restraint
and care for several months. Ac-
cording to the superintendent,
there is nothing much wrong
with Joseph. He has a super
sensitive nervous system, and
this is about all. He has had a
quiet and peaceful existence At
the asylum, with proper medical
attention, and has lost about all
delusions that brought him to
the asylum. Joe has been ''play-
ing in hard luck" for several
years. He drifted over to Flor
ence where he helped edit the
village weekly, and where he
ran what he called a thinning ex-
change" Through a casual pros
pector he became interested in a
gold claim in the Mineral Greek
district, which he had the for.
tune to sell. Prosperity was un.
usual and proved almost toe
much for him, He went on o
celebration that the old-timers
will remember with admiration
for many, and insisted that the
town participate. Then he went
to the asylum.
