WATERVILLE.
COLBY BASEBALL SCHEDULE.
Fifteen Games Arranged, With Six o,
Home Grounds.

The schedule for the Colby baseball
team as arranged by Manager L. c..
Church, was passed by the athletic
committee, Saturday afternoon, and is
now in force. Fifteen games have been
arranged for the team, with six on the
home grounds. Contrary to the usual
custom, three games have been ar
ranged with BowdOin and Bates, in
stead of two. Two of the three with
each team will be championship games
and one will be an exhibition or prac-
tice game. The University of Maine
has the usual two games. The extra
game with both Bowdoin and Bates
will be played away from home.
Four games are arranged for the
Massachusetts trip, this year. The
first of these will be with the New
Hampshire College, which is expected
will be an easy one, as the games with
this team usually are in both foot
and baseball. Harvard will be tackled
next on the following day. Colby went
up against Harvard under particularly
hard conditions, last year, and the team
is expected to make a better showing,
this year. The game between the big
college and U. of NJ, Saturday, is
rather encouraging as the visitors had
had but a few days out door practice
After Harvard will come Tufts and
Exeter.
1t is a good schedule and Waterville
will see a good share of college base
ball, as other games will doubtless be
sandwiched in on the home grounds
besides those scheduled. The following
is the schedule
April 19-Bowdoin exhibition game)

that has placed the little conqueror'
so far above competitors. When
people right here at home raise their
voice in praise there is no room left
for doubt. Read the public statement
of an Augusta citizen:

winter of 1891 l had an attack Of what
was pronounced lumbago. The pains
in my back We're incessant and the
only relief l got was when l rested my
back against radiator. In a short
time the kidney secretions began to
show the kidney difficulties. their color
was high, they contained large
quantity of brick dust, and were ex-
ccssive in quantity. l was told to try
Doan's Kidney Pills and procured d
box at c. X. Partridge's Old Reliable
drug store opposite the postofilce.
Its use benefited me greatly and | got
a second box. BY the time | had
finished this the pains in my back
were ended | cannot say enough in
praise of such a wonderful remedy as
Doan's Kidney Pills have proven to
be.

WITH DEADLY AIM.
Negro Wanted by Sheriff Sells His Life
Very Dearly.

Tuscumbia, Ala, April 6.-Three men
are dead, three mortally wounded and
four seriously wounded as the result of
Sheriff Gassaway's attempting, today,
to arrest Will Reynolds, a desperate
negro.
The casualties, except the death of
Reynolds himself, are the result of the
deadly fire of Reynolds with a Win
chester. The negro was in his turn
riddled and thrown into fire.
Sheriff Gassaway went to a negro
settlement, 'Knardtown," this morn
ing, to arrest Will Reynolds for obtain
ing goods under false pretences. The
officer was met by the negro, who
opened fire with his rifle, wounding
the sheriff and Immediately firing upon
the deputy, Will Gassaway, who was
some 800 yards away, MORALLY wound
ing him.
AS soon as possible every man in
town who could procure a gun was in
the neishborhood, but owing to the To-
cation no one dared to venture out into
the open space. Dynamite was pro-
cured and the house in which the negro
was barricaded was fired upon, but
to no effect.
At l o'clock, Capt. Simpson of the
Wheeler Rifles, arrived with IL guns
and 1000 cartridges, which were dis
tributed among II picked men. This
company was stationed around the
house and riddled it, but the negro had
taken refuge in the cellar and returned
the fire, killing one man and wounding
another. Coal oil was then procured,
and, after four hours of hard work, the
houses adjoining that in which the ne
gro was located We're fired.
About s o'clock the house in which
the negro was located was fired by the
Wheeler Rifles, who had arrived on the
scene. The negro took refuge in shed
and opened fire, killing man and
wounding a second, but the people and
some militiamen rddled the negro and
| the crowd, numbering 1000, grabbed the
body and threw it into the burning
building. Robert Wallace was killed
while closing in on the negro, who shot
him through the body. His body fell
in the burning debris, but was recov-
cred.
Relic seekers cut off the negro's fin
gers and such parts of the body as
cOuld pc procured. Ihree houses were
burned in the effort to reach the negro.
Several horses were killed in the bat
| tie. Tonight, it is reported that the
sheriff and his brother have no chance
to live. SO deadly was the Negroes aim
that it was possibly an hour before the
body Of one of his victims could be re-
covered.
No shot was fired by Reynolds that
did not tell when those whom he was
| firing upon could be seen.

which had been discovered five miles
ahead. The British retired steadily
having dismounted, opened a return

While the baggage in charge of the
Canadians was sent for, the British
formed a camp and started digging
trenches. The Smelling of the Beers
stampeded the mules carrying pro-
visions and caused confusion. But
otherwise it was not very effective as
many shells failed to explode.
The Boer attack was very bold and
determined. The Canadians in front

Of the British horses. a fierce hand

sides freely used the butt ends of their
rifles. The British regained the ridge
they had just left and commenced a
rear guard action. In the meantime a
strong force of Beers had barred the
road back to the British camp. The
coming of daylight enabled Col. Law

pressed and he dispatched reinforce

The guards had had a very hard

squadrons. The Beers disputed every
