BLOOD ON THE GOLD
Burglars Dynamite Bank and
Murder Sheriff Powers,
Its Brave Defender,
(By the Associated Press.) }

Little Rock, Feb. 5.-Early today the
vault of the Bank of Clarksville. John
son county, was dynamited and looted by
five or six men. Sheriff John H. Pow
ers was shot and killed by the robbers
while attempting TO frustrate their de-
signs The amount secured by the rob
hers Is supposed to be between 81 900
and $4,000.
Sheriff Powers. who roomed in & build
ing adjoining that of the bank, was
awakened shortly before o'clock by a
terrific explosion. Selling a pistol in
each hand he rushed to the bank
The robbers, who numbered five or six.
opened fire the moment he appeared. The
officer was wounded but stood his ground
and returned the fire. sending half q
dozen bullets at the robbers. He then
managed to get back to his room. where
he died within twenty minutes. When
hastily aroused citizens began arriving at
the scene Powers was dead and the rob-
bers had vanished.
The interior of the bank was badly
wrecked. trail of blood leading from
the bank is construed tc mean that Pow
ers injured one or more of the robbers.
He was shot three times himself
Governor Davis tonight offered re-
werd of $1,000 for the arrest ard convic-
tion of the bank robbers and the Ar
kansas Bankers Association offered q
similar reward of $500.
Sheriff Powers had been sheriff of
johnson county for twelve years and
would have been renominated without q.
position for another term in the Demo
cratic primaries February 10 He had
run down large number 81 crimi-
mails.
All towns between here and Fort Smith
have been wired of the robbery and no
efforts will be spared to capture the men.
It is thought the robbers escaped north
into the mountain fastness Of Newton
county where there are neither railroad

Play ball.
That's the pleasant sound that the fans
and the cranks, the rooters and the
rooterines long to hear.
And last night the organization of the
North Carolina League of professional
baseball clubs was effected in this city.
The State had been actively eanvassed
by Mr.. f. NJ. Ashenback, the baseball
missionary, letters had been written,
and last night five cities responded to the
call to organize the league.
The meeting was held at the Yarbor-
ough House IN response to the call of
the Raleigh Athletic Association, and
the cities represented were:
Raleigh--by w. j. Andrews and Per-
rim Busbee.
Newbern-by c. l.. Stevens and H. B.
Marks.
Charlotte-by Z. NJ. Ashenback.
Durham--by Otis H. Stocksdale.
Wilmington--by proxy.
The meeting was called to order by
Mr. VIM. j. Andrews, and the represen-
tatives present got down to business
and talked ball and the necessary steps
TO be taken to form the State League
After much discussion, on motion. the
North Carolina League of professional
baseball clubs was established.
The election Of president being in Or
der, Mr.. h. NJ Ashenback placed in NOM
ination Mr.. Perrin Busbee, of Raleigh,
who was elected.
Next came the election of vice-pres-
ident, and Mr. C. L. Stevens, the editor
of the Newbern Journal, was elected, and
Mr.. Irwin T. Jones, of Raleigh, was elect
ed secretary and treasurer.
Upon motion it was decided TO apply
TO the National League for Minor League
protection in Class D., and a sinking
fund of five per cent. of the admission
receipts of each days games was agreed
to as protective policy for the league.
The question of the opening of the
season was next discussed. and as a re-
suit professional ball is to begin on May
and to continue until Labor Day, thus
giving four months of ball.
The league is to be a six club league,
and one city is vet TO be selected. Prop
ositions from Winston and Greensboro
are under advisement, and it is probable
that que W ltlOoC CItiVO wiz w 6ANS 9a<NN'A
member of the league.
There was an expressed determination
in the meeting that baseball had to be
carried on without the troublels with
llmpires that came last season, and
committee was appointed to draft suit
able laws for the league One feature
of these will be that any player guilty
of assaulting an umpire will be expelled
from the league.
The election of MIR. Perrin Busbee as
President of the League is a surety of
fast and clean ball playing, and his cleo
tion will be hailed with qualification by
bali players throughout the State.
The next step after adding the sixth
club will be the organization of the va
rious teams, and this will be entered
upon at an early date.
