ANOTHER SHAKE up.
Manager AIberts Releases Two More
Players.

The Topeka baseball team got an
other shake-up this morning, Manager
Gus Alberts releasing two more men.

Earl Green, a first baseman, will
probably come to Topeka He and
Alberts have agreed on a satisfactory
Ilgure IN the way of salary, and Mr.
Slg1ried, owner of the Atchison semi
professionals, says that he will let
Green go if it will be of benefit TO
topeka. All that is now necessary
IS for Hornaday of Fort Scott to sign
MS release. Green played at Fort
Scott last year, but had some little diff
Ilcutty and left the team. He cannot

latter and Alberts are good friends.
and they are going to put on their
David and Jonathan jackets, and fix
up the matter so that Topeka can get
the big first baseman.
Lew Armstrong of Kansas City will
also probably be here. He with Or
rendorf tried out as catchers with the
Kansas City Blues. Both Just fell
short of the necessary mark. Orren-
dorf went to Leavenworth to manage
the Valley Leaguers at that place

Alberts will probably have him in a
few days.

right fielder are also among the new
acquisitions. Alberts does not want
their names made public just now, but
If he gets all the men to Topeka he is
now after, the fans will find a squad
on the Washburn diamond distinctly
to their liking.
On next Wednesday the Leaguers go
up against Washburn again. They
will probably not present quite as
strong a front as they did last Friday,
because A1berts will not have any of
his new men here before Friday or
Saturday. With the two released this
morning, there is hardly a full team
outside of the pitchers, left in the
city. Alberts will probably play the
third sack himself next Wednesday
and the fans will have an opportunity
to see what the 'old man" can still do.
On Friday Washburn and the pro-
fessiOnalS meet for the last game of
their series, and on Saturday the

MUST BE RELIEF.
People on East Side May at Last Get
Protection.

AS a result of an investigation made
by the city council and some of the
city officials at a specially called
meeting Sunday afternoon at o'clock,
it is likely that the city will take some
action for the immediate relief of the
Parkdale people who are flooded al
most every time there is a heavy rain.
Saturday afternoon and night, Bid
die creek went on one of its accustom-
ed tears, backed up the water into a
good many cellars, and covered quite
an expanse of territory in the vicinity
of Sixth and Locust and Lafayette
streets. The cOuncilmen were hastily
summoned by c. K. Holiday, council
man from the Second ward, and it
was agreed to investigate the condition
of things. In addition to Mayor Ber-
gundthal, City Engineer McCabe and
Street Commissioner Snyder, the fol-
lowing councilmen Joined the pilgrim
age: Holiday, Grlley, Rice, Hughes,
Howe, Sinner and Ryder. w. A. S.
Bird, attorney for some of the people
who have filed damage suits against
tn city as a result of former floods in
this locality, was also with the party.
After looking over the ground, the
councilmen came to the conclusion
that in order to afford temporary re-
lief for this locality, the bridge at
Sixth and Locust should be raised the
bridge at Lafayette widened, and the
waterws% at Leland street opened up,
instead of trying to send the water
through a drain pipe 1t is claimed
that the Leland street drain pipe acts
as sort of a dam for the water east
of it.
It also seemed to be the opinion of
the councilmen present that the only
real relief which the people there
might hope for would be from an ade-
quate sewer system. The city off
Gals think that the people in that part
of town should not complain about
surface water until they provide them
selves with proper sewer facilities.
The people who live there, on the
other hand maintain that the city
should take care of the storm water,
and that the cost OF building a sewer
is more than they can stand at the
present time. What they want is that
the city should, at public expense, put
in a storm water sewer system which
flood.
No special meeting of the council is
likely to be held to consider this mat

Two Cattlemen Nearly Killed by
Negroes.
Joseph Burt and w. s. Sanford
the Victims.
SKULL is CRUSHED
Another Has Nine Stab Wounds
in Back.
A Chinese Laundryman Also
Pounded by Negroes.

Sunday night two stockmen who
were en- route to Kansas City on the
Rock Island with cattle, were assault
ed on the Kansas avenue bridge by
negro thugs and left for dead. While
the train was waiting the cattlemen
walked over on the bridge to see the
river, which was reported to be rising
rapidly On the bridge they encounter
ed a gang of negroes, and a fight fol-
lowed.
The approach of a man in a buggy
frightened the negroes away, after the
victims had been left in a serni-con-
scious condition. The man in the bug
gy, Joseph Florence, of 121 Waite
street, put the two injured men in his
buggy and brought them to the po-
lice station, and when the nature of
their injuries were discovered they
were at once sent to Keith's hospital.
Neither of the men is able to talk
much about the assault They gave
their names as Joseph Burt of Bill
1ngS, Ok, and w. S. Sanford of White
City. Kan. Their story is that after
eating a lunch at the Chesterfield cafe,
they walk down to the bridge, and
We're looking at the river when two
negroes ran up and accused them OF
insulting their wives. Sanford ana
Burt denied having even seen the in
suited wives of the negroes, and were
at once assaulted with knives and
clubs. The cattlemen say they were
either the victims of mistaken identity
or attempted robbery and there is lit
tie doubt that 1t was the latter.
Burts' skull is crushed and will be
trephined some time today. His sqllp
was also confused in several places
showing that he was severely beaten
by the negroes. Sanford has nine deep
stabs and cuts in his back and neck
and is in a serious condition. After
fa Txr1ai oh Oh,
o'clock. the police arrested six negroes,
three men and three women, and
charged them with the assault. They
are Thomas Phillips, Joe Johnson,
David Brown Georgia Phillips Mat
tie Johnson and Lulu Brown.
Chinaman Is Hurt
Wah Lee, the Chinese laundryman,
whose shop is located at Seventh and
Quincy streets, was badly beaten Up
last night by two unknown negroes,
who used clubs on him. The assault
took place in Wah Lees place in which
he sells Chinese novelties Wah Lees
face was crushed by a blow from the
club, and several of his teeth knocked
out. He did not know the negroes and
gave a very meagre description of his
assailants. They left the club.
A Negro Robbery.
A robbery was reported later in the
night, but no names were secured by
the police. A man claimed that he WAS
held up and robbed of over a hundred
dollars by a negro woman who accosted
him near Crawford's flats on East Fifth
street.
Lost a Diamond.
Charles Mathews, of Third and Clay
streets, reported to the police Saturday
night that he had been robbed of an
$50 diamond stud. The robbery occurr-
ed on a crowded street car While
Mathews was returning from the cir
Gus grounds. He has not the slightest
clue to the case.

cd 1t to her and held the boat till she
had got both oars In position.
Look out! Don't get Hustered.

But instructions did not avail. The

to instruct her, hut lost his patience,
