the land. Kansas had been admitted
into the Union. Its broad prairies
attracted many people from the east
Mr.. Shane came to Kansas and settled
In Abilene, now the county seat Of
Dickinson county.
With his health shattered, one leg
cut off, hearing affected he quit fight
ing the battles Of his country and
com enced the battle Of life for him
self. He bought farm, was ad-
mitted to the bar as lawyer, taught
school, run land office and was
elected county treasurer Of Dickinson
county. Franklin's tribute to Jeffer-
son could almost be applied to him,
"He can calculate an eclipse, survey
an estate, tie an artery, plan palace,
try law suit, write book, break
colt, play fiddle and dance a
minuet."
In 1878 Shane moved to Lawrence
and lived there until be was taken to
the penitentiary.
Chapter 8 gives in detail his story
OF the shooting Of Ed Katherman and
is without doubt the correct version
Of the tragedy. A boy is walking
along the sidewalk and is shot with
out any possible motive For this
shooting J. B. Shane was found guilty
OF murder in the first degree. Sec
ton six OF the Kansas criminal code
gives the following definitions; "Ev-
ery murder which shall be com mitted
by means Of poison, lying in wait, or
BY any other kind Of wiliul, deliberate
or premeditated killing. or which
shall be committed In the, perpetra-
tiCn Of an attempt to perpetrate any
arson, rape, robbery. burglary or
other felony shalt be deemed murder
in the fret degree" The facts set
out in Chapter 8 show none Of the
necessary TO constitute
murder in the first degree. But
Shane fred the fatal shot. The boy
was killed. There was no design to
effect death. 1t was case Of man
slaughter in the third degree, pure
and simple. Section is Of the crimes
act Of Kansas thus defines man
slaughter in the third degree: "The
killing Of another 10 the heat OF pas

BRUNSWICK IS IN
| PROPOSED LEAGUE
-+-
Baseball Association Next
Year May Incclude
This City.
ATLANTA MAN FORMING 1T
New Organization viii Include Saw
annah, Augusta. Charleston. Col
umbia Macon, Brunswick and
jacksonville.

The following from the Const itp
tion of yesterday will be of interest tC
the baseball fraternity of Brunswick
generally:
Quite surprise was sprung in local
baseball circles yesterday when it was
learned that Chas. W. Boyer, secre-
tary OF the Atlanta baseball club, has
already started movement TO organ
lie baseball league, and which will
be composed of the principal cities OF
Georgia mot including Atlanta) and
South Carolina.
Secretary Boyer has been quietly at
| work on the scheme for several weeks,
but it was only yesterday that the in
formation leaked out.
The present intention of the Allan
ia secretary Is to organize a league in.
Icluding Charleston, S. c., Columbia
IS. c., Savannah, Augusta, Macon,
Columbus, and possibly Brunswick,
Ga, and Jacksonville, Fla.
For several years each Of these cities
has supported well independent clubs,
and it is believed by Mr., Boyer that il
a strong league is organized they will
support league ball handsomely.
Secretrry Boyer has been connected
with baseball enterprises for num-
ber of years and is man Of consider.
able experience in the busigess. When
Charleston was member of the
ESoutherp league in 1898 he was msn-
ager of that club and put into the
field ors of the swiftest aggregationS
sen on the southern diamond.
He managed the Roanoke club in
1896. In 1894 he organized the Cum
berland Valley league.
Secretary Boyer has introduced into
fast company some of the best ball
players that are in the major and
minor leagues, among them Leach,
who is now playing with Brooklyn:
Wrigley, Of New Orleans; Cockmap,
Of the Milwaukee Western League
club, and number Of others.
When seen about the matter of Or
ganizing the South Atlanta league fo1
1904, Secretary Boyer stated yesterday
that he believed it would be a paying
proposition, since all the towns men,
toned are now ripe for good, fast
baseball.
AS soon as the present season is over
he will make a tour Of the cities and
take definite steps toward putting
|clubs into them.

Rome, July IA. The pope today ha
deliriun for the first time. As the
day progressed the attacks of delirienl
became accentuatcd both with regard
to the length OF the hallucinations
and the shortness of the pope's lucid
intervals
His mutterings during his delirium
were not always Ineligible, but they
seem TO relate to history of events
many years ago, which, being unknown
to those present, neither DIR. Lapponi
nor Contra succeeded in comprehend
ing.
At times the pope seemed to see
again apparations. When his attend
ants tried to persuade. him TO the con
trary the pope insisted, indicating the
presence of some imaginary shadow,
which he not only sees but hears.
He said:
Now, don't you see now Besides
he rattles chairs and other things as
he moves
1t is evident.the pope ii making a
great effort and straining all of his
nerves to maintain a camness and to
have his will triumph over his weak

ThU organs of the pope are gradu-
ally ceasing TO perform their natural
functions, All processes of elimination
have ceased and no more nourishment
is taken.
