TO SELL OMAHA TEAM.
Rumor That Kid Nichols Will Be. New
Manager.

Omaha, Neb., Nov. 2.-The rumor
that the Omaha baseball club is for
sale was confirmed today by Louis
Metz of the Metz Bros brewery, which
is negotiating with Manager Bourke
for its purchase Kid Nichols man
ager of the st. Louis Nationals, who is
an old Omaha boy, will, according to
present state plans, become manager
and part owner.
Mr.. Metz said today: Manager
William Rourke has offered us the
Omaha team. Our plan is to have Kid
Nichols become manager and part
owner. AS the Western league is on
an unsatisfactory basis. the chances
are that Omaha will be in the Amer
lean association next year. This is the
end we are working for at present.
Manager Rourke is now in the east
but it is expected that he will be here
within a few days. 1t is understood
that the sale is likely to be consum-
mated within a few days after his re-
turn.

IA. U.-NoTRE DAME GAME.
Jayhawkers Are Working Hard to Win
Saturdays Contest

Lawrence, Kan, Nov 2-Work in
the Jayhawker camp is progressing
nicely in preparation for the Notre
Dame game, which is scheduled for
next saturday. This is expected to be
the hardest game of the season exceDt
Haskell, on the Kansas schedule. The
men came out of the Washburn con-
test in good condition and the score
OF to 0, while telling a story of
strenuous work, gives but little idea of
the way in which the Jayhawkers
withstood the attacks of Outland's pu-
pills without sustaining a single injury.
Roger got a bruise on the shoulder
but was out for practice yesterday.
when he hurt the same shoulder and
was forced to submit to treatment to-
day.
Scrimmage is the order of the day on
McCook field and Coach Kennedy ex-
poets to keep up this variety of prac-
tice until Thursday night. Brook, the
new man from Washington State uni
versity was in at left guard today and
showed up in such form that he may
get in for the Hoosier contest. Davies
was also used some at tackle. Bahne,
a last years Lawrence high school
player, was on left end in Freshman S
place and according to Coach Ken
nedy may make good there
Kennedy has more confidence in the
Lawrence high school boys than in
those from any other high school in
the state and he expects some good
material from the local institution for
next year. Rouse played an end in
place of Captain Hicks. 1t is probable
that Rouse will get in part of the fight
Saturday. Milton was used at center
today and played a very good game.
Hart was in Pooler's place at quarter
and did some good work.
But little is known here of Notre
Dame except that it has held the
championship of Indiana for the last
two years. BY far the best game of
the season is expected.
The officials for Saturday were
chosen by Manager Plank and are
Conner of Fort Leavenworth and Dbl
BILE of Kansas City. Scandrett of To-
peka or Coleman of Lawrence will be
head EneSman.

AFTER A HAY RACK PARTY.
Iratc Farmer Appears in Court With
Grievance.

E. NJ. SchoepIin. farmer living
three miles southeast of town, APP
peared at police headquarters this
morning with fire in his eye He
asked that warrants be issued for a
young man by the name OF RANKIN
and fifteen other Chanute young men
and girls who had constituted hay
rack party last Friday night, and who
had stolen three armfuls of hay from
his premises.
Farmer Schoeplin was in a furious
mood when he was relating the cir
cumstances of the theft to Police
Judge Dryden. He said it was not
the value of the hay that he was kick
ing about, but the principle of the
thing. He declared that he had lost
1000 pounds of cane this fall as the
result of depredations by parties of
Chanute roysterers, besides ten or fif-
teen bushels of apples and ton and
half of hay.
''When a crowd of Chanute young
people go to the country he contin-
ued, they become freebooters and run
rough shod over our farms, taking
what they want and destroying what
they please. They seem to think they
have license to roam through orchards
and melon patches and help them

is QUIET IN CHANUTE FIELD.
Claimed Nearly Half of the Wells Are
Not Pumping.

Chanute, Nov 2.-It is getting very
quiet in the Chanute field and bust
ing that trade is not as brisk as it was.
Some of the operators insist that it
does not pay them to pump their
wells for 81 cent oil. A few stated
they cannot pay running expenses at
that price. Several producers stated
there was a disposition among the oil
men to discontinue pumping until the
price of oil advances. They declared
from a third to half of the wells in
the Chanute district are not pumping
now. How true this is will probably
be shown by the runs this month.
Only one or two wells are now drill
ing at Thayer. Most of the work is
toward Shaw and Erie. At the pres
ent time there are about thirty wells
drilling in the Chanute field. or a de-
crease of seven over a month ago.
Several companies contemplate new
work and another month may change
the conditions.

first BLACK" frost was October 81,

night of August 80, 1904; and the said
sheriff requesting me to grant him
permission to return the warrants is
sued by me for the arrest of the
Belleville jointkeepers, is absolutely
true in fact; and the sheriff and coun-
ty attorney giving as a reason for ask
ing for the return of said warrants
that the arresting of the said joint
keepers would place the said VIM. Hill
in an embarrassing position inasmuch
as he was a candidate for reelection
to the office of sheriff of Republic

In witness whereof, 1 have hereunto
set my hand at my office this first day

WESTERN LEAGUE PLANS.
Lincoln May Be Substituted for ST
Joe Franchise.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-The circuit of the
Western Baseball league may be
changed before the opening of the next
season, according to VIM O'Rourke of
the Omaha club. Mr.. ORourke who
stopped in this city today on his way
to Omaha from New York where he has
been attending the meeting of the
minor leagues, said that in all probable
ity st. Joe would be dropped from the
list of clubs and Lincoln, Neb.. substi-
tuted. According to Mr.. O'Rourke the
team this year in st. Joe had failed to
prove an attraction and as Lincoln was
anxious for the franchise, the latter city
was favored by the Western league as
q. new memher.
