The death of Colonel Rafferty, de-
prives the service of an officer who
stood remarkably high in the esteem
of his superiors. He was admirably

lie duty, and his tact and reserve
power was frequently displayed.

military academy in June, 1865, and

ment when the war with Spain be-
gan. He sailed with mounted SQUAD

mysterious Disappearance
Cleared UD bu Death.

The mystery surrounding the disap-
pearance of Frank Novotny was
cleared up last Saturday A body
which proved to be his was found on
the desert near Rlilito few days ago.
A cowboy was driving a number of
horses in that vicinity when he came
across the bleached bones and scattered
effects of some unknown man. He
dismounted to investigate and satisfied
himself that they were the remains OF
a huma n being. He then rode into
the station and Coroner Wilson was
notified of the discovery.
A jury left the city early Saturday
morning to view the remains. The
man had been dead at least a month.
His body had been dragged by coyotes
for about 100 yards from where he
idently died. His clothes had been
torn from the body, and even the
bones had been gnawed by the hungry
coyotes. All of the mans effects and
als0 his bones were piled in heap
anil buried on the spot.
The coroner's jury convened in JUS
tice Wilson's Office This morning and
heard the evidence in the case. 1t
seems evident that the man must have
hCen a prospector. Ind in travelling
across the desert 10 the station run
olt OF water and 3erished. Amcng
the deceaseds effects was small sip
OF paper which led to his Identified
ton. 1t gave his name as Frank
Novotny, and said in case of accident
to notify his family at 1866 West Nine
teenth street, Chicago. 1t will be
remembered that letter~from Mrs.
Noyotny to the city marshal appeared
in The Citizen some time ago She
was inquiring about her husband,
from whom she had not heard for
some time and who she knew to be in
this vicinity when last heard from.
Thfs-4etter was copied by nearly all of
the Territory papers. but still no re-
sponse came. A letter to the same
woman was found among the effects of
the dead man. but it was written in
Bohemian. Novotny was great
friend of Charley Potter of the Oberon
hotel, and he, too. missed the man.
Some of the Oberon stationery was
found among his effects also. He is
merely another of the many who have
been swallowed up, as it were, by the
thirst of the desert.
Mrs Novotny has been notified of
the untimely end of her husband

The Base Ball Fever
Bats the Old Pueblo Hard

The base ball fever is about ten de-
grees above normal just at present. If
no immediate relief is found it will
soon reach the boiling point When
ever a bunch like Vic Hanny ct al. be-
gin to agitate subject, it is next to a
sure thing that the community in gen.
eral is going to warm up to that SUBJ
ject. Whenever the politicians quit
plotting just before election, and the
merchants cut out business after hours
and the clerks talk anything but shop,
1t is a pretty good sign that there is
something doing in the village. AT
this particular time the doings happen
to be in the baseball line
1t hardly seems possible that the old
pueblo could get SO worked up over one
thing. Old wheel horses who have
not thought about the game since they
were colts, are now talking abou-
kicking over the traces. Mamma S
boys, who never tossed ball in their
| lives, have thrown down the ping
pong and are now studying up a line
of base ball talk. The Grays are ook-
! ing a little sore because the rules pre-
vent them from pulling down little
easy money. An Elk can not meet an
A. o. U. w. on the street without
expressing a little sympathy for each
other. To tell the truth, there S
liable to be suspension of everything
in the old pueblo the day the Ellzs
cross bats with the Workmen.
The antlered tribe held little secret
practice behind closed doors at Car
rillo's Gardens yesterday morning.
Cap" Dickerman was just trying out
few of his fawns. He had his man
ager. Vic Hanny explain the game to
the bunch. and show them where the
bats and balls came in. They then
proceeded to learn. When it was all
over they came out of the strong box
smiling, as if the game was already
theirs. Vic Hanny claims to have the
best bunch of has-beens in the south
west, but if he rounds them into form
he will certainly earn the reputation
Of being the greatest ring master in
the business.
With the Workmen it is different.
THY know they are bad, but they
want to get used to the grand stand
bawling them out. SO they decided to
practice in public. From the cloud
oC DUST on military plaza yesterday one
would think that a couple of football
games were in progress. Judge Hawke
explained it all by saying that they
were only playing ping-pong. There
were few Elks in that vicinity dur
ing the practice, and when they saw
Gus Hoff knocking the home plate and
everything else in the vicinity over
the Carnegie library. they decided to
investigate the batting averages Of
their opponents. It will not be sur
PrisIne now if more exclusive act is
pissed Immediately to the effect that
no one who has ever hated over 80
cents worth will be allowed in the
game The A. 0. U. W., from all
indications. will have fair team to
work the Elks with.
The base ball burlesque will come off
at Carrillo's Gardens Sunday. October
5. and no one should overlook the big
event.
