Mrs. Arthur White. Of Nicholson, has
been missing for week, and the peo-
pie of the village are filled with the
belief that she has met with foul play.
A report reached here last night that
she had been found hanging in the
woods, but this proved to be only a
rumor.
Shortly after she disappeared her
husband left the town. When the neigh
bors visited his home they found the
household furniture smashed, the whole
interior in disorder, and that some OF
her clothing had been burned.
Mrs. Whites maiden name was Har-
ris. She is a daughter of Thomas Har-
ris. who lives on Parker street, near
the fan house of the Lcggctt's Creek
colliery. Mr.. Harris yesterday received
the following letter:

Promptly at $50 the two clubs lined up

With critical eyes they marked the play

game these men were greeted with rounds

The weather could not have been nearer

dried the diamond and made the outfield

the park from the lake.

Downpour Of Rain Crumples Up the
National Games Schedule.
AT LOCAL AMERICAN PARK
The Abbot and Cresceus Will
Race for $4,000 Purse.
MIKE GRIFFIN WINS SUIT

Rain played havoc with the opening day
of the American League base ball season
eSterday. But one game was played, that
scheduled for Chicago, where a big crowd
witnessed the defeat OF the Clevelands by
Comiskeys team. while postponements were
the order of the day at Detroit, Philadel-
phia and Baltimore. AS told elsewhere in
the telegraph dispatches. the games at Bal
timore and Philadelphia We're once more
postponed today, but 1t is expected that
Detroit will have its first game of the sea-
son. while the Clevelands and Chicagos
will play their second game IN the latter
city. With the coming of new moon to-
night weather prophets claim long stretch
of clear weather will follow. and the base
ball magnates and enthusiasts will doubt
less return thanks
Today's American League schedule:
Washington at Philadelphia.
Boston at Bait imore.
Cleveland at Chicago.
Milwaukee at Detroit.
The merry click of the hammer was heard
this morning at the new American League
park and the half hundred carpenters are
doing their best to have everything IN reau-
mess for the opening of the season l"Nt
Monday. The roofing of the grand Stahu
will probably he completed today. and the
other carpentering work about the struc-
ture. such as the private boxes and retir-
ing rooms will be finished by tomorrow
night Tomorrow morning the task OF
placing the seats in position viii begin.
and as there are something ike 2.ooo OF
them to be set up it is more than likely that
the workmen will have all they can do TO
finish by Saturday night.
With the completion of the grand stand
the entire force OF carpenters will be SET TO
work on the left field bleacher seats. ana
il is claimed they can be completed In two
DAYS. as the lumber has already been
sawed into shape, to be fitted in its proper
places
This morning the field was almost sea
of mud with the exception of the diamond,
which looks like j beautiful green carpet,
but Groundkceper Miller was not a DIT dls-
heartcned over the outlook. and sa1d he
could have everything in readiness with Il
clear stretch of weather after tomorrow
\ good rolling of the outer gardens Will
work wonders under a clear sky. The 10
cal fans can rest assured that the game
scheduled for Monday afternoon will be
played if such a thing is possible. Man
ager Manning has set his heart on open
ing the new park on that day, and 1t Will
require almost a deluge to bring about
pCStpOnement.

While the cowboys were cheering
and throwing their sombreros into the

testifying to their JOY and relieving the
pressure of suspense under which they

cantered to the center Of the ground
and raised his. right arm to enioin ST

in his stirrups and turned his head
slowly from side to side until he took

IN clear, ringing voice which every
one heard.
If there is any other person here

Dead silence followed his words, and
after waiting sufficient time he raised

that greeted him where he expected

without word in reference to the

When on the following morning Isle

an errand in that direction, rode out

the circles still more narrowly. Ridina
madly at last, he approached nearer
and nearer to his intended victim. the5
deadly rope never ceasing to writhe:
and twist above his head, as If it We're:
possessed of life and hatred and vas
eager to fall upon its prey.
b Suddenly his arm Strengthened onts
and the loop was released from His
grasp. At the same instant. Lisle lean
ed into the air. The rope struck hin,
upon the head and fell harmlesslv
aside, and another cheer went I'D from
the spectators. Cummings laughed
and dashed away, gathering the lasso
quickly for another throw. In mo-
me. ment he was ready, and the circling be-
gan anew, while Isle, seemingly as
cool. as ever. faced him steadlky and
with unfiinching courage. Three times
the horseman made the turn. Then
Lisle saw him rise in his stirrups. The
deadly loop left his hand. It seemed
to hang in midair over his head in seq
pentine curves which changed their
forms with every fraction of those per-
ilous seconds which seemed like hours.
Lisle made no further effort to dodge.
He knew that such tactics must soon
become futile; that ultimately the rome
must encircle him. It were better that
it should do so now while he was fresh
and still master of every faculty. He
remained perfectly still and waited I'M
til the loop was almost upon him. and
then, with a quick motion, he placed
his hands in the position that one as
sumes when in the act Of diving-to-
gether and directly above his head
and so permitted the coil to encircle
him. s,-.. 10
1t fell true and accurately. The horse
ridden by Cummings was pulled back
upon his launches, and then, irnDeliod
by the cruel spurs and tight rein Of it's
master, it wheeled and leaped away.
AS the coil frightened around him Lisle
managed to seize the rope beyond the
knot with his left hand. His right
hand still grasped the knife. Then
came that awful jerk. He was drag
ged from his feet headforemost to the
earth. AS he fell he succeeded in
shortening his left arm and reaching
out bis right hand, which had not loos-
ed it's hold upon the knife. The keen
edge touched the frightened rawhide.
and it parted.
Instantly he was upon his feet again,
There was blood upon his face but he
did not know it. He turned and ran
with all his speed toward the nearest
group of-spectators. ss-

mounted and thrust the bride into his
grasp. It was Craig Thompson. But
Lisle did not see him. He only saw
the horse. In an instant he was in the
saddle with Craig's lasso firmly in his
grasp. He was shaken and breathless
by the experience through which he
