Cincinnati June 20.-Pitcher Jack

the St. Louis club, took part in q bloody
fight on the train which brought them
to this city from St. Louis. Powell and
Mccain did not leave st. Louis with

were out sightseeing, and reached the
depot at St Louis about ? o'clock in
the morning. They were taken to the
Baltimore & Ohio Southwestern train.
A Cincinnati travelling man was alsO
on the train. and he tells what fol-
lowed.
He said that Powell and Mccain
took seats in the rear of the car and
amused themselves kidding" a
stranger, who sat several seats in front
OF them After about fifteen minutes
of abuse. the stranger, who was a
husky chap, got up and walked back
to where the two players were sitting.
Get up. you big stiff" he said to
Powell and Jack arose. He had no
sooner gained his feet than a right
swing sent him back in the seat. Both
McGann and he then started for the
stranger. but McGann, too. felt the size
of his fist But the two players proved
too much for the stranger when once
they got out OF the seat. and for the
next ten minutes the stranger was
given an awful beating. The travelling
nan who tells the story says that blood
was spattered all over the car, and that
not until the conductor and brakeman
threatened violence did Powell and
Mccain cease beating the man

turned from that country, where he su-
perintended the marking of county seat
and town site lines. He reported that
he divided the whole country into three
counties and designated the western
most as KiOwa county. The others are
not yet officially named. He located
county seats at the Anadarko agency,
at a point five miles south of Fort Sill,
and at a point near Eiowa station.
Mr.. Richards reports that there is no
evidence of mineral in that country
The water supply, he says, is good He
says everything will be ready for the
opening on August 6. Mr.. Richards
found many people already waiting
outside the lands, and says the gen

means Of drawing lots rather than the
old way of making a. rush for the lands.
He says the drawing system probably
win be adopted
Governor Jenkins, of Oklahoma, who
also is here, estimated today that 100,
900 people win seek the lands. although
there can be only 500 entries.

Cincinnati, June 20.-After carrying
Amos Rusie for more than two months
at a salary that many a learned man
would be glad to receive, and having
his services in but three games during
all that time, the Cincinnati club has
come to the conclusion that it is q.
waste of good money to experiment
with the big fellow longer. unless he
shows signs of willingness to do what
is right by the club and Incidentally be
of some assistance to the team
1t seems, according to reports re-
ceived BY Mr.. Brush, that Rusie is not
taking the best of care of him self and
IS indifferent to the interests OF the
