BASKET BALL GAME OF SEASON.
Yannigans of Bridgeport vs Company

Yannigans of .Bridgeport vs Company
 A. Second Regiment, 0. N. c.
 What will probably be the most in- teresting basket ball game of the sea- son, locally, will be played at the Armory on Thursday night next be- tween the Yannigans of Bridgeport, known throughout the state by reason of their football record, and the team representing Company 4, Second regi- ment, of this city. The Yannigans are said to be as fast at basket ball as at football and their star Rugby players constitute the basket ball five, among whom are Bob Birmingham, halfback and captain of their eleven, who will play center with the basket ball ''bunch,' also the crack football guards, Harry Dunn and Mintine, and the equally well known athletes Ken ny and Donnelly. Company A will meet them with the following fast com bination: Harry Watterworth, one of the warmest players ever seen on Waterbury floor, and McKeon, for wards; Harvey Stout of football fame at center, and the redoubtable Fred Bauby, master of all athletic sports, with Otto Armbruster, another basket ball crack, at guards.
 The Yannigans have yet to lose their first game, and if they get away with the game on Thursday night they will certainly know that they have not been in attendance at a pink tea.
 A large crowd of enthusiasts will un- doubtedly be on hand to witness this contest, and an admission of 15 cents including a seat will be charged. The fun will start at 9:15 D. m. sharp.
 | Notwithstanding the fact that an ad- mission fee was charged at the Y M A. basketball games Saturday night, still the attendance was fairly good.
 But it was far smaller than the usual Saturday night crowd. The surprise
 of the evening was the defeat of the leading team, the Monitors, by the LobSters. This defeat of the Monitors practically gives the pennant to9Sthe Business Men as only three more games remain to be played, and the Business Men are playing great ball.
 The MOnitor-Lobster game was one of the fastest and most exciting of the season, the latter winning by the score of 19 to 13. Captain McKeon's great l playing was great factor i'll winning the game. Ambruster Art Cook, Henry Cook and ". Curtis also played we'll It was hard game for the Monitors to lose, but they were outplayed. The two tailenders, the Normans and the Stars, gave star exhibition of how the game should not be played.
 This game was far from being inter- esting. The Normans won. also. The score was 19 to 10. The Eagles were no match for the Business men, the latter winning by the score of 30 to II. 1 This game was a disappointment as it
 was expected that the Eagles would
 give their opponents q hard rub for their money. Reeves and Kenea1ey are the whole Eagle team. It is too bad that Eagles hasn't one or two other good players and they would be among the top notchers. The playing of the Business Men was just as good
 as ever. The standing of the league: | ~

At New Have.

New Haven, March 24.-With the score of ? to against her for six in nings Yale went into the play with 3 dash the last three innings and pulled the game with Manhattan ouI of the fire by the narrowest of margins in the opening match of the season for both teams here Saturday afternoon.
 Yale's victory of to ? was after the most exciting contest ever seen between the two teams. Yale won largely through Garvan's magnificent pitching, which kept the Manhattan sluggers guessing. Both Garvan and Duff pounded out three base hits, only to die before reaching home. A stop by Rock, the Manhattan shortstop, of q hot grounder over second was the most brilliant piece of individual play in the game.
 Miller, the Yale second baseman, ne gotiated a clever double play in the second inning of hard hit grounder over second from AIcPhillips' bat. The score by innings:

At Princeton.

Princeton, N. J., March 24-Prince- ton easily defeated Rutgers on Univer- sity field Saturday afternoon by the score of 9 to 1. The game was an uninteresting one from start to finish, the only enliyening feature being the brilliant fielding of the Tigers.
 Underhill and Stevens were tried in the box for the home team and both did good work. Stevens, however, batted much better than Underhill. and this will be a big factor in his favor. Wells at third played a par ticularly good game. His throwing was accurate and his batting LID to the average.
 Dangremond, who started in to twirl for Rutgers, was knocked out of the box in the fifth inning, and Duggan was substituted. Green and Stein wender were unable to play on account of illness. The score by innings: Princeton IA s2 10 3 *-25 I2 i Rutgers .....0 0s1O OOO- I 12 IT

The Leading Citizens Hold Mass
Meeting.

About so of the leading citizens
and business men of the city held a
mass meeting at the city hall We'd
nesday morning as a result of the
shooting affair of Tuesday night.
The meeting was presided over by
Mayor Bochler and speeches were
made by number of parties pres
ent declaring themselves in favor of
the vigorous enforcement of all the
city ordinances and statutes of the
State of Kansas. In fact, this was
the sentiment of every one present.
The action of Marshal Martin in the
shooting affair was strongly endors-
ed in his effort to enforce the peace
of this city. Every one present de-
clared themselves on the side of the
Marshal in enforcing the law. In
this connection we think all personal
prejudices and factional differences
should be laid aside and every resi-
dent of Meade should work har-
moniously for the enforcement of
law and order. There is no reason
why we cannot have peaceable
city. There is no occasion for gun
plays on our streets, and besides,
1t is an offense against the laws of
Kansas to carry concealed weapons.
True, it is permitted and excusable
when any mans life is threatened
and in danger. But it is to be re-
GREETED that such conditions should
exist in any civilized community.
We sometimes think that the en-
forcement of the law has been very
lax in the past, but these past Incl
dents should be laid aside, and be-
gin right now and strictly enforce
every law and ordinance, regardless
of the parties who commit the Of
fenses. AS we said above the only
way to accomplish this is by united
and harmonious action on part of
the citizens and stand firmly at the
back of the officers who can much
better perform their duties when
they know that they have the sup
port of all law-abiding citizens. Let
something be done before any more
innocent parties are shot and an en-
tire family brought sorrow, as re-
suit of the lax enforcement of law.

ED. kRAeH AccIDENrLY SHOT
While Standing On the Street Bull
LET Enters His:Body Which
May Prove Fatal.

Last Tuesday evening about 9:15
our citizens were disturbed by the
firing of several shots on the north
side of the square. Upon investi-
cation it was found that City Mar
shall Millard Martin was having some
trouble with Homer Lanam in front
of Shamhart's barber shop, and that
several shots were fired, one ball
striking Ed Kragh, who was stand
ing up the street some fifty feet, or
about opposite Geo. B. Cones real
estate Office. The bullet entered
the body just below the stomach on
the right side, and went through, be-
ing cut out by DR.. Fee about three
inches from the spinal column. 1t
may prove-fatal but the Doctor is of
the opinion that the ball passed be-
tween the stomach and the intestines,
which, if true would not prove fatal.
At present he is resting easy at the
Meade Hotel. His mother and sis
tiers, who reside in Odee twp, were
sent for Immediately and arrived
Wednesday morning.
We are unable to get the exact
details of the occurrence as nearly
every one cleared out when the
trouble began. AS near as we can
learn Martin reprimanded Lanam
for loud talking, and advised him to
go home, whereupon Lanam began
abusing Martin and drew a gun
and shaking it in his face, Dick
Buis being present got between them
and tried to pacify Lanam but to no
avail, and the struggle continued,
Martin finally got hold of the gun
in his left hand and with his right
drew his own revolver and began
firing at Lanam, one ball striking
him below the left nipple and pass
ed through the clothing lodging in
silk handkerchief which probably
saved his life. 1t is not thought
that Lanam did any shooting as
Martin got hold of the gun before
any shooting occurred. At this time
no arrests have been made and we
are not advised what the procedure
will be in the matter.

THE LANAMS ARRESTED.
A Lively Shooting Affair Between
banam and the Posse.

Yesterday afternoon warrants
were issued by County Attorney
Selvidge for the arrest of Jess and
Homer Lanam, one charging HON.
er with assault with intent to kill
Marshal Martin Tuesday night and
one charging Jess with vagrancy and
being an abettor and a menace to
the peace and quiet of the city.
The warrants were given to Sheriff
Judd and Deputy Talley. who went
to arrest them and went to the camp
east of the city where the Lanams
have been staying for some time.
Jess Lanam was found, but Homer,
for some reason, was not found.
Jess came with Sheriff Judd to the
Court House, but refused to give
up his gun, declaring that no one
could take it and hourished it in the
face of R. w. Griggs. He still de-
fed the officers and it became evil
dent that there would be some shoot
ing before he could be disarmed.
About Gas posse of citizens was
gathered, armed with Winchesters,
with a determination that Lanam
should be disarmed at once. He
was in company with Sheriff Judd,
on the north side in front of Dor
land & Gorman's store, when the
posse was forming on the west side.
R. w. Griggs was in the advance
and reached the drug store corner,
when he asked the Sheriff whether
Lanam had been disarmed, the Sher-
iff replied in the negative, where
upon Lanam stepped in the door
way and fired couple of shots at
Griggs which went wild, one glanc-
ing a post and went through the
National Hotel, Griggs returned the
fire with a Winchester cutting the
door casing close to Lanam. After
an exchange of several shots Lanam
retreated through the store and out
the back door and fed northeast ev-
identity intending to reach the camp
at the railroad bridge. The posse
was in close pursuit occasionally
firing as they went. Near Fick's res
idence Lanam held up Luther Bra
den and Geo. Gore who were in a
delivery wagon, and ordered Geo.
out of the wagon and he got in and
ATTEMPTED to force Luther to drive
him out of town. Luther got into
scuff1e with him and got hold of the
gun, Lanam falling out of the wag-
on. The posse was behind but did
not fire, for fear of hitting innocent
parties, Lanam ran for Chilcott's
house and reached the porch, but
was soon covered with half a dozen
Winchesters and ordered to come
out with his hands up, which he did
and was taken to Jail. Immediate
ly after this it was determined to go
and get Homer Lanam who was sup
posed to be at the camp near the
bridge, so posse of about 80 citi-
zens accompanied the Sheriff to the
camp where they found Lanam, COM
ing to camp with water. At the
sight of Winchester he immediate
ly surrendered and was escorted to
Jail by the crowd.
During all the shooting no one
was hit, although there were several
close calls. Everyone is thankful
that it resulted as it did. The ac-
ton last night demonstrates that the
citizens of the city are tired of law
lessness and have concluded to stop
it. 1t also demonstrates that if the
officers are unable to unarm a man
that the citizens can be couuted on
to assist. We say let the good work
continue.
