Base Ball Troubles.

The present management Of the Mil
ford Athletic Association has but one
view in It's work this summer, namely
to give the public who love honest man
ly sport, good, clean baseball. We feel
that we have done so, Our players are
gentlemanly young men who have play
ed first class ball and the town has a
very pardonable pride in their work
The work of the leaders of the Associa-
ton has been entirely unselfish, they
are among the heaviest contributors
and pay their way willingly into the
games. When they cannot keep both
a good and a gentlemanlY team here
they are going to quit the the business.
Our main trouble has been to retain
our players, because their work has
been such that they have been freely
offered higher salaries, Davis left US on
that account and others have refused
to leave. The latest loss is Pitcher I'D
windsor. By an express agreement
with Manager Hemans Of the Ridgely
team neither team was to bid for the
others players. lnspite this he has en-
gagged EdWindsOn at an increase OF
salary. Our proposition is this, Milford
is a much larger town than Ridgely.
its baseball enthusiasts have as much
spirit and as much money. If they
show any disposition to sustain the
management we will beat Mr.. Heman
at his own game. We will retain
Pitcher EdwiDdsOn and as we need a
first baseman and short stop we will
hire Kellogg and Hertz0g easily the
star players of the Ridgely team. Walk
up gentlemen and express your SEM
timents.

A FEARFUL MOMENT.
Motorman Frank Bose Sees BODY
on the Track but Cannot
Stop the Car.
PASSENGERS in A PANIC.

Running heavy interurban car at
lively rate of speed near Berryvi11e
last evening, motorman Frank Bose
saw dark object between the tracks.
but before he could stop his car it had
passed over the object, believed by
motorman and passengers to be the
body of man. The motorman could
hear the crunching of the bones in
the mans body. Power1ess to pre-
vent terrible accident although hav-
ing shut off the current and applied
the brakes, motorman Bose brought
his car to stop some distance from
where the body lay. He ran the car
back and calling to the conductor in
formed him of the accident. The two,
accompanied by several passengers,
walked to where the body lay, as they
believed, mang1ed beyond recogni-
ton. When the motorman and con-
ductor stopped to lift up the body they
found it shape1ess and helpless mass
of clothing stuffed with hay and
placed between the rails by some per-
sons who desired to frighten the mo.
torman. If ever there was a man
fighting mad it was Frank Bose, but
the perpetrators of the act could not
be found.
Motorman Bose left the Kenosha
limits little behind time last even
ing and was due in Racine at o:15.
The front portion of the car was oc-
cupied by the moterman, man and
two ladies. The car was speeding
along at good rate of speed and in
going around a curve near BerrYvil1e
the motorman and the front end pas
sengers saw the object between the
rails. The women screamed and
turned away in horror. All realized
that terrible accident was to occur
and they were power1ess to prevent
it. The car passed over the object
but did it no harm, and later few
kicks were taken at it just for revenge.

The rural mail carriers are not now

of the minor details of the service

GOT AWAY WITH $3.50
George Jones, Formerly of This
City, Arrested at PIainfieId,
Wis, for Larceny.
GIVES OFFICERS LONG CHASE

George Jones, formerly restaur-
ant worker in this city, is in the Cen
trail Police station at Milwaukee,
charged with the crime of grand lar
ceny. He was arrested at the village
of P1ainfe1d, Wis, on Sunday, and it
is alleged that he has made partial
confession of the crime of stealing
$3.50 from woman companion in Mil
waukee.
Jones is alleged to have committed
the crime two weeks ago, and he has
led the officers of Milwaukee and Ke-
nosha merry chase. After his ar
rest he stated to the officers at the
Central Station that he had formerly
worked at the Blue Front restaurant
in this city under an assumed name.
Jones managed to get out of Mil
waukee with the money two weeks
ago and since that time he has been
drifting about the state enjoying a
great time. Chief Reino1d and the
members of the Kenosha police force
were notified that the man was wanted
Ill MILL duhCC, Jul Tic uOtA1CdlIOu
reached them just one day after Jones
had left Kenosha for fairer fields and
pastures new, and since that time he
had not dared to put his head in this
city. It is alleged that Jones had a
sweetheart in Kenosha and the officers
had been carefully watching the
home of the young woman in hopes of
landing the much wanted man. On
Sunday when Jones was taken by a
county constable at P1ainfe1d he had
nearly. half the money stolen on his
person. He at first declared that he
was innocent of any wrong doing, lat
when taken to Milwaukee he made a
partial confession of the crime. Jones
had a hearing yesterday and was
bound over to await the action of the
circuit court in Milwaukee county.

THE American European squadron
is going to Turkey to give the Sultan
an idea of the sea power of the United
States. The United States has de-
manded the same favored treatment
in the matter of schools, hospitals
and charitable institutions as is &C
corded to other Powers, and the pres
ence of the fleet in Turkish waters is
expected to assist the Sultan IN max
ing up his mind to comply at once
with this very reasonable request.
For a world power, the United States
has been very patient with the I'M
speakab1e Turk, but Secretary Hay
has finally made up his mind that
patience has ceased to be virtue
and he had adopted the only measure
which the other Powers have found
effective in dealing with the Sublime
Porte.
