Marshal Wants Rewards.

Leavenworth, Kan, Aug. sc. l..
Johnson, city marshal of Chetopa, Kan.
came to Leavenworth today and filed
a formal claim for the rewards offered
for the recapture of Fred c. Heron, the
dead outlaw, when he escaped from the
state penitentiary on December 10, 1900
Marshal Johnson captured Heron after
an exciting chase about four miles from
Chetopa, in the Indian Territory, on
December rs, 1900. When arrested Her
ron was still riding the stallion he stole
from Bert Uhls the Leavenworth .coun-
ty farmer. The rewards which john
son claims belong to him are three in
number and are as follows: Fifty dol
lars, offered by Warden Tomlinson of
the state peniteatiary; 500, offered by
the board of county commissioners Of
Leavenworth county, and $40, offered by
Bert Ubl. owner of the stallion stolen
by Heron johnson will probably have
to sue for the rewards as they stated
that the money offered in them would
be paid to the party capturing Heron
upon the latter's conviction. AS Heron
was shot and killed before he was con-
victed, it is doubtful if the men who
offered the rewards will be willing to
pay them. If they refuse to pay Mar
shall johnson will sue them, thus max
ing a test case.

National League Magnates Are
Now Directing.
Say Freedman Was Too Fast
With Baltimore Deal.
CAN FURNISH THE CASH
Declare the New Yorker Has
Bought a Gold Brick.
Think the Giants Manager Can
Pay the Freight.

New York Aug. 8.-President James
"A Hart of the Chicago National League
club and member OF the eAecutiv We
committee of the National league, Is IN
the east, and it is reported that MS
mission here is to enter vigorous pro-
test on behalf of certain magnates
against the recent action of Brush ana
Freedman in buying out the Baltimore
club of the American league.
1t is known that several Of the Ma
tionaI league magnateS were completely
in the dark as to the contempiateu u tIsa
with MoGraw and knew nothing OF the
negotiations, except the reports printed
in the daily papers, and on the day the
deal was carried out the receipt OF
circular letter from John T. Brush,
signed as chairman of the executive
committee, stating that the majority OF
the Baltimore club had been purchased
by the National league. An assessment
of each club was made to meet the
price paid for McGraw's interests, and
it is against this levy that number OF
magnates are said to have baked.
1t is said that preyfuss, Hart ana
two or three others would have Deen
willing to have helped out in wrecking
any American league club had they, as
members of the National league, peen
apprised of what the chairman OF the
National league, aided and abetted by
Freedman. was doing. but that they feel
aggrieved over the implied lack or con.
fidence in them by the way the deal
was carried out. President Hart, 1t IS
Sa1Q,- IeGlS especially llJulC0 osCi eAiS
way he, as a member Of the executive
committee was not let in on the trans
action, especially as Brush sent out the
signed statement of the affair as cha1r-
man of the executive committee, there
by implying that the committee was re-
sponsible for the attempted disruption
of the Baltimore club.
These magnates are willing enough
to injure the American league, but they
want to impress on Freedman and
Brush that if they want to pull off such
deals they must inform the league mag
mates first and not after the affair is
completed" said local baseball critic
today
1.-The approval of the other magnates
of the league was not asked in the Bal
timore affair until it was completed
and then, for fear of throwing their
own cause, they had to stand FOR IT
though I understand that up to the
present time very little money has been
collected on the assessment that was at
tempted, and I believe Freedman Will
find that he will have to stand nearly
if not the entire expense of the gold
brick he has purchased in the interest
of the league The other magnates re-
fuse to pay, on the theory that they
had nothing to do with the deal. and
have not been benefited in any wayby it
while Freedman, who carried it through
and who brought odium on them all for
the transaction, received all the bene-
fit"
1t is also reported that while in the
kast President Hart will visit his team
FOR the purpose of securing the sigma
lures of as many of his players as be
desires for next season.
