DAWSON INVINCIBLE.
Won Two Games from Moultrie
Last Week. Albany and Co
lumbus Come Next.

In the games of the past week the
Dawson baseball team has come out
victorious and still sustains the envia-
BILE record of not having been defeated
this season.
The team crossed bats with Moultrie
on Tuesday and Wednesday afternoon,
a score of I to / resulting in the first
game and to I in the latter.
TUESDAYS GAME.
A large crowd was out to see the
contest between the two teams Tues
day afternoon, and they were treated
to some good ball.
The game began with Rawls and
Foster doing the battery work for
Dawson. and Clark was in the box and
Turner behind the bat for Moultrie
In the first inning the visiting team
scored one and Dawson three runs.
In the second inning Rawls went out
of the box. being too unwell to pitch
the game, and McAffee did the twlrl-
ING for the locals for the remainder OF
the game. Moultrie found it impos-
sihle 10 touch the home bag again,
while Dawson piled up seven runs.
The battery work for Dawson was de-
cidedly the feature OF the game.
WEDNESDAY, GAME.
The game Wednesday afternoon be-
tween the same teams proved one OF
the closest and most interesting OF the
season.
AT an early stage of the game Moul-
trie took the lead and kept 1t until the
eighth inniLg. 1t was then the raw
son bows awoke to the realization that
the game was lost unless they played
exceptionally good ball, and this they
did with vengeance. A two bag

the score, by Kenny in this inning
was the turning of the tide in Dawson s
favor. and the hit was one of the main
factors in Dawson's victory. In the
ninth inning the home team scored
another run. making the score s to !
in their favor Moultrie came in for
it's last inning and failed to score as
the result of exceptionally good work
on the part OF Martin ana henhy'
who did the battery work for Daw-

its field work being highly creoltaole-

MR.. STEVENS BOOK.
1t Is to Advertise Georgia, and Every

The Atlanta Journal says the state
agricultural department now has In
process of compilation a book that
will be of invaluable worth to Georgia.
Ii is to be upon the natural resources
and present development of the state,
and will be the most comprehensive OF
any work of the kind ever undertaken.
Both Commissioner O. B. Stevens
and Assistant Commissioner Bob
Wright have spent great deal Of
time during the last two years in gath
ering material for this book. Ii is now
all ready for the press, with the eX-
ception of some statistics from the last
census which cannot yet be secured
from Washington. This book will be
out some time in September
In it will be found the most valuable
statistics. An estimate of all the dit
ferent water powers of the state OF any
consequence, OF the timber, OF the
mineral resources to certain extent,
and everything that one investigating
state would want to know will be
contained in it.
Each county will be taken up sepa-
rately. When organized, from what
counties taken, the number of acres
it contains. how much in cultivation,
how much in timber, all this and more
will be given. The population by
counties, number of school houses,
churches and so on will be incorporat-
ed. The number of factories, the
streams and their water power. the
minerals, and a great deal of in
formation will be added.
Every product of the state of any
consequence will be taken up. How
much is produced and comparative
statement OF the increase in produc-
ton will he given.
The book will be awaited with much
interest, and its result on the future
development of the state is sure to be
great.

MYSTERY CLEARING.
A West Point Man is Arrested
Charged With Murder.
MAY HAVE KILLED EBERHART FETTE
Evidence Purely circumstantiaI-Sher
iff Has Carried Warrant for Suspect
for Long Time But Did Not Find
Him Until Yesterday.

West Point, April 4-Cornelius
Leary is confined in the county Jail
in Fort Madison charged with the
murder of Eberhart Fette, near West
Point
The murder of Eberhart Fette, an
aged farmer living two miles south of
West Point, occurred Saturday even
ing, October 10, 1900, and his body
found in his own door yard the next
day riddled with bullets, the account
of which most all citizens remember.
The murdered man lived alone in an
isolated spot and it is generally sup
posed that the crime was committed
to cover up robbery, as Fette was
supposed to have considerable sum
of money either upon his person or
secreted in the house.
Leary, the man under arrest, was
apprehended yesterday at the home
of Henry Nacke near West Point, by
Sheriff Tucker and lodged in Jail to
await an investigation by the grand
jury now in session. The arrest is
made only on suspicion, there being
no particular discriminating evidence
against him further than the fact that
he is rowing character and shortly
before the murder was engaged in
chopping wood for the murdered man
and disappeared from the neighbor-
hood about the time of the murder.
He is about fifty-five years old and it
is said well known character about
Keokuk
Sheriff Tucker has carried the war
rant for his arrest since shortly after
the murder, but has been unable to
locate him. Tuesday he appeared in
West Point from whence the sheriff
received word of his presence late last
night.
The people of the community who
know the suspect say that he always
carried a revolver and was overbear-
ing and abusive and frequently visited
West Point. 1t will probably be diff
cult to fasten the crime of murder on
him unless something now unknown
comes to the surface.

Windmill Takes the Life Of Thomas
Powers Jr

Windmill Takes the Life of Thomas
Powers, Jr.
Keswick, April 5.-Citizens of this
place were surprised Wednesday, even
ing to learn that Thomas Powers, ST.,
had received a telegram that his son,
Thomas Powers, Jr., had met with a
horrible accident, meeting his death
almost instantly. 1t happened in this
manner:
He had climebd to the top of his
windmill to fix some part of the ma
chinery. Around his neck he wore a
big handkerchief. In some way the
handkerchief got caught in the mill
and began to choke him to death. He
made several heroic struggles to free
himself but it was of no use. He
whipped out his pocket knife and
tried to cut the handkerchief and thus
free himself, but the knife slipped
from his hand. No one could reach
him and extricate him from his awful
doom. He died, choked to death. Mr..
Powers was we'll known in this neigh
borhood. He was hard working, in
dustrious man. He leaves wife and
six small children, father, mother,
brothers and sisters to mourn his
death. He resided until recently in
the northwestern part of Iowa.

Conger.
Council Bluffs, April At is pro-
posed to give Minister Conger such a
reception when he arrives in this city

his great services while representing
the United States in China will never
be forgotten by the people of his nat
i've state.
1t is expected that there will be
thousands of people here to participate
in the reception. Advices received
from Des Moines and other cities indi-
cate that Council Bluffs is to be made
the point where the people of the state

cities intend to unite and assist in the
reception and follow out the suggestion
made by General Dodge in his mes
sage to the Nonpareil. In addition to
this it is proposed to have the cadets
in uniform take part in the affair. The
soldiers of the late war will also be
there to salute the noted Iowan.
