Have Two Umpires.

As result of several Of the man
ayers who were present at the meeting
last night making protests against some
Of the association umpires, the double
umpire system was adopted. This sys-
tenn makes il possible for the visiting
team TO carry along its own umpire to
work i'm conjunction with the umpire
of the home team. Where but one um-
pire is used the visiting manager. if a
hitch arises over n decision may select
one of his own players to umpire I'm
conjunction with the home umpire.
The Coatesville team was indefinitely
suspended as a result Of the players Of
that team striking.
Guest and Smith of Norristown, were
suspended for contract Jumping. With
Somers, Of Coatesville, they are now
playing with Atlantic City. and all Of
the association teams will be notified
mot to play with Atlantic City so long
as they retain these players. The man
ager of the Cuban X-Giants was noti-
fed that If he plays with Atlantic city
while the players remain on that team
the association will cut him.
Thes matter of cancelling games be-
tween West Chester and Wissahlckon
will come IN before a meeting of the
executive committee next Tuesday
evening.

Northern New
Mexico Ranges
STocKMEN PREPARING FOR POS
SIBLE HARD WINTER BY
SURPLUS AND OLD
CATTLE.

Cattle shipments from the north
ern New Mexico ranges are heavier
than usual at this time Of year. said
Capt. j. a. LaRne, secretary OF the cat
tie sanitary board this morning. The
season has been a dry one, but the
ranges are not In poor condition as
yet. The stockmen are shipping their
twos and threes as well as many Of
the older stock cattle that might not
live through q severe or dry winter.
The outlook for the winter Is en-.
couraglng enough. but the stockmen,
In hipping freely. are merely getting
on the safe side and depicting the
ranges to the extent that will posi-.
lively ensure good wintering Of the
stock that remains"
Mr., LaRue says that this season
was no dryer than last and yet last
year the stock came through an us
usually severe winter In fine fettle.
Prices are not high. but the secretary
believes TIL stockmen are wise In sell.
ing their surplus and old cattle.
Today inspection Is going on at
Roy; tomorrow a lot will be gone
over at Springer and the day follow.
Ing the inspectors will go TO Ration to
look over another bunch. Most Of the
shipments are going east, One ship
ment is being made to Arizona this
week. Several carloads OF Magdalena
cattle have passed through the city
within the last few days.

Pat Young
Found Dead
SUPPOSED TO HAVE FALLEN OR
JUMPED FROM A HIGH RAIL
ROAD BRIDGE.

Some time yesterday Pat Young
fell from d railroad bridge and killed
himself.
Yesterday morning between IL and
IL O'Clock Jas. Clay and II. M. Ever.
ett, while riding after cattle In q
pasture some three miles below the
city, saw the body Of a a lying be-
low a railroad bridge--the first bridge
west Of the high bridge near the tie
pickJer. The men observed blood on
the face ami M OF the hands, and
concluded that the man was dead.
They did not recognize him as Pat
Young, the old time resident OF this
city. but 50 II proved. The men hast
lily gathered their cattle and returned
TO the city, reaching hero about s
O'Clock. They told Of their ghastly
find, and d party was dispatched to
bring the body to the city.
Last night Justice Garcia empan.
neled a coroner's jury. After all the
facts available had been learned, the
Jury returned q verdict 81 death, re-
suIting from falling or jumping from
the bridge. Tho body was lying about
twenty-five feet below the bridge,
There was d wound on one temple
and on the cheek. Whether the un.
fortunate man saw q train coming and
jumped from the bridge hoping to save
his life, or whether he lost his bal
ance and fell, no one can say. 1t II
known that Young had been drinking
heavily, and il Is believed that thia
was resposible for his sud fate. It Ii
a lainentable fact that he Is the third
brother to meet violent death.
Deceased was a real old-timer. IN
the early days he conducted a grocery
store where the Boston clothing store
now 10, AMI made money. OF lats
years he had been working III a stone
mason. Much regret is felt in the
city over the sad and sudden end t.
his life.
