Base Bail.

Thursday the aggregation OF
ball players Of the Am. College
and the University arrived IL our
city to uphold the reputation OF
their respective colleges on the
diamond. The teams are com
posed of gentlemanly young men
who made a good impression
during their stay here and who
will receive a welcome at any
time they may again visit our
city. The opening game Of the
series on Thursday was one
marked with poor playing. at
first on the part of the Universi-
ty. and later, in the game. very
noticeable on the opposing
team, who in the last two innings
allowed the Varsity boys to run
up scores in an alarming man
ner. A home run by Elmer was
feature of the game. At the
close of the ninth the score stood
10 to IL with the A. & M. victor
ious. The batteries were: A. &
NJ. Cotter and Morris; Univer-
sity, Walton and Moss.
The second o h e series,
played Friday afternoon, was a
vast mprovement on the record
of the day day before. An ex-
cursion from Starkville bringing
with it two hundred rOOters
swelled the crowd and the odds
were noticably in favor of the A.
& M. The line up of both teams
presented almost the same ap-
pearance as the day before with
the exception of Lacy in the box
for the University while Clisby,
known here as the promising
young twirler, held the sphere
for the StarkviIle team. From
the first things looked dark for
the Starkville boys. Errors
that were always costly abound
ed. Clisby received poor sup
port, while the Varsity boys
took in every thing that came
their way The work of Johnson
at short stop was particularly
noticible At the beginning of
the sixth four of the Varsity
boys had crossed the plate, with
not a score to mark the efforts of
the A. &. M. rooters. In the
sixth A. & NJ. succeeded in put
ting one man across the plate
repeating the performance in the
seventh. One more home run
by Elmer run the University
score to six. Seemingly Lacy
had begun to weaken and hope
dawned afresh in the bosoms of
the boys from Starkyille. Good
field work, however. put their
men on the bench in rapid sue
cession and an unfortunate error
by Cisby in the eighth allowed
the seventh score to go to the
credit of the University. The
ninth was quickly ended. Clisby
put three men down and an out
on first. Lacy repeated the per-
formance and the game went
over to the Varsity boys with a
score of Z to 2.
In spite of the inclement
weather and the fact that the
diamond was in bad shape from
the showers earlier in the day
the game yesterday was fast and
snappy. Walton again appeared
in the box for the University
while Carter represented the 4.
&c M. The game was full Of in
terest from start to finish, the
special features being the bat
ting of Gulley of the A. &c M. and
the work of Watkins of the Uni
versity on third base. At the
end of the ninth the score stood
4 to with the A. & M. victor
ious. Batteries, A. C M. Carter
and Morris; University, Walton
and Moss.

Sheriff NJ. o. Millikin, of Spring.
field, Greene county, Missouri, arrived
in Hamilton Monday evening and the
following morning started back to
Spring field with one Anderson Kinder.
a fugitive from justice who was appre-
hended at Stevensville last week by
Sheriff Pond.
Kinder, who is barber, was wanted
at Expansion, Mo-, to answer to the
charge of having committed a felon-
ious assault upon young man by the
name Of Bailey, whom he slashed with
knife during an alteration.
About ten DAYS ago Sheriff Pond
received a description of the man, to-
gether with the information that he
was supposed to be heading for Stew
ensville.
On last Wednesday the Sheriff went
to Stevensville and located his man.
He said nothing to the fellow until
shortly before train time. He then
walked up to the man and said, "Hello,
Anderson! When did you leave Expan-
sion?" He ans vered: "Howdy, l left
there little while ago.
The sheriff then told him that he had,
a warrant for his arrest, At first the
fellow appeared surprised, but later
said to the sheriff: ''Well, 1 guess you
have got the right man this time"
Kinder was brought to Hamilton, and
lodged in the county Jail awaiting the
who was ilnmediatelt- notified by wire
of the arrest. .'t.

VICTOR TEN ACQUITTED BY JU-
RIES OF THEIR PEERS.
DECIDED CONFLICT IN TESTIMONY
The Defendants Were Charged With
Violating Local Option Law-D.
D. Wofford the Iuformer.

Two local option cases were tried be-
fore Justice w. S. Jones at Victor last
Saturday and the defendant in each
was acquitted. Both cases were
prosecuted by r. A. O'Hara, Of Hamil-
ton, who is retained by the local anti
saloon league.
The first case was that of the State
VS.. Joseph Dent, who was charged
with selling liquor to D. D. Wofford in
violation of the local option law. The
complaint was sworn out by w. h.
Parker and Dent was placed under ar
rest last Thursday by Constable ]. E.
Craddock.
Attorney Geo. T. Baggs, for the de-
fendant, demanded a jury trial. The
jury that tried the case consisted of l..
H. johnson, T. J. Patty, G. M. Tux
bury, Guy. Bradford, J. E. Marvin and
J. w. Rickman. In the trial of a mis-
demeanor, at least four out of the six
Jurors must agree upon a verdict.
d. d. Wofford testified that he had
bought flask of whiskey from Dent.
Dent testified that he had not. No
other testimony was introduced. Upon
cross examination by counsel neither
the prosecuting witness nor the de-
fendant wavered IN his testimony. AT
ter argument by counsel the case went
to the jury which speedily returned
verdict OF mot guilty. and the de-
fendant was discharged.
The trial of A. L. Mowatt, charged
with the same offense, followed i'm
lnediately. The case was prosecuted
by r. A. O'Hara and the defense was
conducted by Attorney Baggs. A jury

trial was demanded by the defense and
the following jurors were sworn to try
the case: Clarence Golf, O. J..
Spooner, O. Spooner, VIM. Strange,
Ray H. Marsh and S. W. Waylett.
In this case Jonas Johnson was COM
plainant and D. D. Wofford the prose-
cutting witness. Wofford swore that
he had purchased flask of whiskey
from the defendant and the latter
denied the allegation. The case went
to the jury, which promptly returned
a verdict of mot guilty.
To secure jures in the two cases a
panel of 43 jurors was exhausted, both
sides being very free with challenges.

w. E. McMurry, citizens candidate
for mayor, is senior member of the
firm of McMurry, Cooper & Grill He
is one of the pioneers of the town and
a young man of education, and
fine business ability. His every inter-
est is firmly centered in Hamilton and
he would undoubtedly give the town a
clean, conservative and business-like
administration. Mr.. McMurry de.
clares himself to be most heartily in
favor of the tree-planting proposition
and today pledged himself to do every
thing in his power to further the pro-
ject if elected.
Messrs. Page, Coffey and Jones are
all we'll and favorably known to the
people of this community. Mr.. Coffey
and Mr.. Jones have both declared in
favor of carrying out the tree planting
project.
A petition has also been filed nom
mating Frank L. Burns for mayor.
Mr.. Burns is the we'll known confec-
toner and jeweler and has many
friends who are also actively further
ing his candi dacy for school trustee.
Mr.. Burns is very out-spoken and fiat
footed in his opposition to tree plant
ing.
J. J. Southwick, we'll known old
timer in these parts, and graduate
Of Cornell university, has been quietly
urged by friends to make the race but

is heartily in favor of the tree plant

The question of whether or not trees
shall be planted along the streets OF
Hamilton this spring is topic of gen.
eral conversation and will be quite a
factor in determining the results in
the town election next Monday, This
is the rock upon which Mayor Romney
and the council have split after very
harmonious relations extending dur
ing the past two years. Four of the
aldermen held up the plan which had
met with such general approval, by
declaring that they would vote against
allowing bills covering the cost of the
work. The mayor has suspended
action in the matter pending mani
festation of the wishes of the people in
the ensuing election. 1t is up to the
people to say whether or not they
want trees planted this spring. Every
candidate will be either for or against
trees.
Touching the cost of the trees The
Western News submits the following
estimates:
Cost of trees delivered in good
condition in Hamilton. 5000 90
Planting 2OOc trees. ............. 50 90
Digging main ditch across south
end of town ............ =. Is 90
Flowing laterals along all
streets 10 90
Lumbe for culverts, crossings,
ETC., (estimated). ......... 100 90
Labor on culverts, etc., (esti-
mated).. .................... 50 90
Aotdl 49,. %4oo w
In addition to this the cost of main
tenance need not exceed $50 per year.
Forty inches of water costing $50 per
year will be ample to irrigate the
trees-many ranches of from so to 100
acres are irrigated by streams no
1arger-and by providing system of
headgates and cross bitches to carry
the waste water away, the task of ir-
rigating and caring for the trees will
be but a small chore-one that will
afford the town marshal good exercise.
The ''Citizens" ticket or, as it is
popularity styled, the ''wet" ticket is
a already in the field. Today petitions
were filed nominating w. E. McMurry
for m ayor; Henry S. Page, for alder
man in the First ward Thomas Coffey,
for alderman in the Second and John
