JACKSON. Ky, June 1.-THE fate OF
Curtis Jett and Tom" White, accused
of the assassination of Jas B. Marcum
will soon be in the hands Of the jury.
When the defense rested yesterday the
commonwealth did not offer any testi-
mony in rebuttal. Judge Redwine hen
charged the jury.
1t is the popular opinion that the ex-
actness with which Jett was located on
a corner by witnesses for the defense
who saw little else to relate. was dam
aging to his case. AcQuittal will be I
surprise. and the general opinion OF
those who have watched the case and
are acquainted with the conditions is
that hung jury is the most reasonable
forecast.

Never before has any puzzle been
known to create more excitement and in

that anxiety for the prizes is wholly re-
spClsible for this, but in some way Tho
desire to really and truly count the dots

street corners one hears young girls and
old men comparing the results OF their
counts and getting into heated argu-
mcnts because the answers do not agree.
Much as the practice is abhnrrcl By

made on the probable result and many a

ATHENA, OCTOBER 2, 1908

Under the revised regulations govern
ing the making of final proof on timber
land locations, it is practically impossi-
BILE for the applicant truthfully to prove
up and acquire title to the lands upon
which he has located. When the appli-
cant at the land Office has not filled out
the usual form of blanks and made the
customary affidavits, he is taken in
charge by special government inspect
or who subjects the applicant to most
severe cross examination. Among other
questions that are propounded, the
claimant is asked if he expects to sell or
in any way dispose Of the land upon
which he has located at price in ad-
vance Of what it has cost him to acquire
title thereto. If the applicant answers
affirmatively, the application is summar-
lily rejected. "Under such proceedings"
said land office attorney, 1.-THE appli-
cant mustfwillfully perjure himself or
make the apparent admission that be is
fool" The form Of cross questioning
the applicant by special government
officer is required under instructions of
the department of the Interior. The
true purpose Of the severe examination
in this regard is that the spirit and let
ter of the law controlling timber land
locations may be complied with. Under
the construction Of the statutes, the ap
plicant is supposed to acquire the lands
for his personal use and benefit, and not
for purpose Of speculation.

The fate of The Dalles- Cello portage
road, says the Times Mountaineer, is
now in the hands of the courts, Attorney
General Crawford having been author
lied by the portage commission to begin
condemnation proceedings against the
0. II. 4 N. to condemn a right OF way
for the portage over the company's right
of way. According to the maps of En-
gineer Hammond, the portage will en-
oroach on the company's right Of way
for distance of about mile in all, and
in no place will it approach the COM
pany's track nearer than 35 feet. For
this encroachment the O. Il. & N. Co.
will asli damages and will be entitled to
receive some compensation. What com
pensation this will be rests with the
courts. II il is exorbitant, the appro-
priation Of the Legislature will be INSULT
cient to secure the right of way and
construct and equip the road. In this
event, il the people of the Inland Empire
desire the immediate benefits Of river
transportation, it will devolve upon them
to make good the shortage in the appro-
priation. This will undoubtedly be
done by voluntary subscriptions, since
it will be paying investment for the
Qeople Of the upper country to make
good the shortage, whatever it may be.

PITCHERS AS BATTERs.
Why They Can Not Hit Is What
Puzzles the Fans.

Again has the eternal question OF the
baseball world arisen TO confront the
fans" why can't pitchers hit?" ise
query that repeats itself automatically
each year and now that the big teams
have swung well into their strides IL
becomes as pertinent as ever.
A close study Of the baseball situa-
ton shows that the question applies
only to the big professional leagues, and
not TO amateur organizations College
teams, In particular, have an aston
ishingly small number or pitchers I'M
able to bat well. Now, why amateur
pitchers should be able to bat better
than professionals Is another wrinkle
in the pitcher batting question.
There were three notable batting
feats by college pitchers in recent
games. Pitcher Bowman Of Yale made
four hits. including two triples and a
double Pitcher Utley Of Michigan,
made four hits, including two homers,
and Pitcher Chase OF Cornell led his
team in batting against Princeton with
four singles.
While this record Is exceptional the
fact remains that IN the majority Of
college teams the pitchers are among
the strongest batters on the teams.
Compare this with the work OF the
league pitchers The batting averages
OF the American league for last season
show only one player not pitcher in
the last 25 games. This man Is Goch-
naur Of Cleveland OF the last II bat
tiers IN the National league all but two
OF them were pitchers, and six OF the
last 10 batters in the American asso-
