The Atlanta Version.

From the New York Sun of Monday
Atlanta Ga, June 2S.-As the result
.of a baseball game on the Spain plan
Aation near this city yester-
Eay afternoon, in which strenuous tao
hics were introduced, two negro players
Ere dead and the police are securing
hhe swamps south of here for the as
ksailants.
Sam Johnston, one of the crack play
|ers for the Spain negroes, and Dick
|EdmondsOn, the umpire, are the dead.
|The names of the negroes who did the
killing have not been learned
The game was contest between
the Spain negroes and those of a
plantation, between whom
there had existed a rivalry dating back
ITO the times of slavery
The Spain negroes were getting the
better of the contest, despite heroic
work on the part of their opponents
land their rooters. In the sixth inning,
with the score 4 to 5 in favor of the
Spain aggregation, Johnston reached
first. He prepared to steal second.
The catcher missed the ball, the
man at the bat stepping back ana in
terfering, it is said. Seeing this, one
of the anti-Spain rooters levelled his
shotgun and emptied a load of buck
shot into Johnston just before he
reached second base.
In the excitement which followed the
negro who did the shooting escaped.
Johnston was carried to one side and
the game continued, but before it was
over he died. t-
In the eighth inning the score was
tied when a decision of Umpire Ed
mondson allowed one of the anti-Spain
runners to score. At this one of the
Spain players, pulling a pistol, emptied
three chambers into the umpire, kill
ing him instantly. :,
The game then broke up in a free
fight, in which nothing more serious
was done than the cracking of a few
heads with bats. In the melee the
second murderer escaped.

stu Another ACCOUNT.

From the Chicago Tribune. Monday
Quitman, Ga, June ga baseball
game between rival negro clubs on A.
SPANS plantation came to a sudden
end to-day, when the umpire was pep
pered full of birdshot after one player
had been similarly treated.
There was an immense crowd out to
witness the game and when William
Johnson tried to steal second he was
stopped midway of the bases by a load
of birdshot fired from the bleachers.
He was retired to the side lines and
substitute put on. . go
Three innings later the umpire, Tom
Delegal, made a decision not to the
liking of the crowd on one side and he,
too, was filled up with birdshot.' This
put a stop to the game, and all bets,
of which there were many, were de-
clared off. No arrests were made

Work Being Done By the Rock
!" Island TO Hold It's Track. 4

A reporter for the A d va n Q 9
accompanied Roadmaster Dan
Mahoney over that portion Of the
Rock Island track which was affect
ed. by. the lake floods during the
spring and summer. Mr.. Mahoney
has been given free hand BY the
company, and when the repair
work now in process of construction
is finished the track will defy all
efforts Of the floods and be one Of
the objects of interest in this
vicinity. .:. AZ
The track is to be raised two
feet over the entire distance Of
affected by the flood and is to be
ballasted with stone and gravel,
with a riprap of stone for several
feet on the far sido of the Omaha
viaduct. On the hither side the
riprap is to cover the entire sixty
feet between the track and the
lake bank, with ooncave area, thus
providing a wide water way for
the overflow, whenever it comes.
On the side farthest from the Lake
the right of way will be graded SO
as to give fine appearance to itB
abutting on the track. This grade
will be covered with black earth in
a condition to be sown with grass
seed and thus made ''thing Of
beauty" instead Of a eyesore to
strangers coming into the city over
the Rock Island. This improve ]:
ment will be gladly welcomed by
the people of Worthington, as will
also the new time card restoring

MILITARY LAW IN COLORADO.

Recent disgracefu proceedings in Chicago and
Kansas City by unruy members of organized labor
have almost tempted to abandon the cause of the
wageearner and revise our opinions about the GOOD
| of trade unions. For the past two months if an
peared that their every effort has been directed not
Tor themselves so much As against the rights of
others, beginning with the silly attempt of the book
binders to interfere with affairs of the government
at Washington, down to the meeting of iron work
ers at Kansas City bossed by a convicted rascal
whose real place is in the penitentiary.
In much the same spirit we looked upon the
strike in the Colorado mines, provoked mostly BY
agltators of the socialistc cult, and we congratu
lated the miners Of Utah who refused to ioin is
sues with them to 1naugurate sympathetic strike
here. AT the time no opinion was chanoed
concerning the right to strike nor the right of nom
union labor to take the place of strikers To den,.
ether proposition is to disestahlish civil and re-
ligious liberty. But to force military government
upon quiet community and institute martial law
to arrest law abiding citizens without warrant and
throw them in bull pen, and all because a militia
general supports this method to break strike and
annhate union, is to invite anarchy to sit in the
place of law And this is being done in Colorado.
Here are the three latest military outrages at Grin
pie Greek:
John Lynch, marshal of the town of Indenend
ence, was seized by the soldiers and thrown into
the bullpen. Mr.. Lynch is recognized as conserv-
ative, energetic official. No crime is charged
against him and none was committed He is said
to have expressed the opinion that the Crinnle
Greek miners are good law-abiding people and that
sending the national guard to the camp was unwar
ranted and unnecessary
The soldiers raded the hall of the Free Coinage
Miners union in Altman. They broke open the
doors and entered. Without arresting ANYBODY thew
retired.
William Dodsworth was seized Saturday morn
ing by military squad and thrown into the mill
tary prison. No charge is preferred against him
and he has committed no offense SO far as anvbodv
IS aware He asked the officer the reason for his
arrest but was youuchsafed no reply. Mr.. Dods-
with IS a very conservative man. He is . laroo
property owner in Goldfeld and is regarded az
among the best citizens of Teller county. The only
ohense ne can possibly have committed is that he

INTO THE FIFTH VOLUME.

This number OF the Internountain Catholic be-
gins the fifth volume signifying four years of pub
LEGATION ending with the issue of Sept. 26. Usually
some editorial comment is made when time rolls
around for the closing of one volume and opening
up or beginning another, and avail ourselves OF
the opportunity.
1t Is yielding only to pardonable pride to claim
for the Intermountain Catholic foremost place
among the excellent journals of its class The
boast Is not vain which declares it the leading ex-
ponent of Catholic faith in the vast intermountain
basin, with greater influence and larger con-
sttuency than any of It's competitors It could
establish such an ascendancy and maintain it sue
cessfuly only upon its merits Did it lack merit It
would be Legitimate prey for competitors 1t would
find an epitaph on the many tombstones over re-
hgious journalism.
1t was the intention of the generous founder of
the paper, Alexander H. Tarbet, to cover the ex-
pense of reproducing in print the first number Of
the Colorado Catholic, issued over twenty wears
ago from press at Denver, both papers to 90 to
our subscribers this week Our correspondent at
Denver, Miss Elizabeth Kelly made diligent search
for that first number, all in vain Father Malone.
editor and owner up to the time it was transferred
to Salt Lake and united with the Intermountain
Catholic, had no copy of the first issue of the Colo
RADIO Catholic. Father Carr, its first owner and
editor, had long since departed from Denver.
Therefore Mr.. Tarbets plan had to be abandoned
More's the pity, for much of Renaissance could
be conjured through the columns of the first num

union No 49, All of these invasions of sacred per-
sonal rights were made with the threatening swag-
ger common to the bearing of the military in deal
ing with the citizens of the district.
Cripple Greek has been as quiet and orderly as
any city in Colorado since the moment of the
strike. For the two weeks following the strike and
before the guards were sent there was little dis
turbance in that camp in any place of its size in
the country. Not dollars worth of property had
been injured, had any threats to njure property
been made Yet few mine-owners who had deter
mined to destroy unionized labor in Cripple Creek
induced the governor to place the entire military
forces of the state at their command for the pur-
pose.
In what country do we live? asks the Rocky
Mountain News. Surely not in the United States,
and yet the governments of Russia or Germany
Austria or Turkey would break the swords and
strip the epauets from the shoulders of the officers
who would dare to commit such outrages upon their
citizens.

DENNY CoNH0RS, 0MADHAUN.

The Chicago centennial, full of features re-
calling the various climaxes in its growth, is not
complete without the joke on Mrs. O'Learys COW,
the innocent creator of the terrible fire which de-
stroyed the city in 1911 Out of the ashes of that
stupendous confagraton arose the great metropo-
lis of inland America. The Chicago Tribune hui
morously alludes to the origin of the fire, making
it appear that Denny Connors is entitled to as
much glory as the 1t says:
Denny Connors the wild omadEaun. he it that
thought to play a joke on Mrs. OLeary by milking
her while she asleep. Denny Connors, the
greenhorn. he it was. sure that knelt down the
left side of the and made the girls laugh and the
edge off. Denny Connors it that full
of the old Nick and fiddle music and that would go
on milking the COW the wrong side till the
kicked over the lantern and the whole crowd
back to Mrs McLaughlins kitchen.
So this was the town that was destroyed by the
fire that started by the lantern that was kicked
over by the that MIXED by the wild omad-
haun that full of the fiddle music that was played
by Pat Mclaughlin the night of Oct. O. 1871 And
here have subject the best centennial tablet
of them all.
The Greeks were wise folk. When they wrote
their dramas they wrote them in sets of four Three
were serious and the fourth satirical We ought
to have the same sense of hnmcr We have nine ser-
Gus centennial tablets We ought to have tenth
which would exhibit Denny Connors, the wild omad-
haun, milking from the left side and earning
the inscription:
This was the omadhaun who leased the COW
And burned the topless towers of this here burg"
Anyway, Mrs. o'Leary is exonerated. Mrs Cal
ahans story settles that. Perhaps twenty years from
now some else will make a confession and en-
onerate Denny Connors. The only person who is not
now exonerated and who will be exonerated is
the cow Poor old COW. What was she called? She
ought to have a park building or a fire ex-
tnguisher named after her
