SMYRNA'S BASEBALL FANS
EFFECT AN ORGANIZATION
WILL DEVELOP A LIVELY TEAM UNDER
MANAGEMENT OF DR.. FRANK GARDNER.
Grounds Ordered to Be Enclosed at Once aud
the Opening Game Will Be Played With
Dover To morrow Afternoon.

Local baseball enthusiasts held a
meeting last night for the purpose of
organizing a baseball association tor
the season. The meeting was fairly
we'll attended and a movement was
started on foot to start the season to-
morrow, Thursday, when the opening
game will be played with Dover. 1t
was decided to enclose the grounds at
once and have at least two games a
week played on home grounds. The
principal attractions will be with Do
yer and Milford, both of which have
strong teams. Our local players will
be strengthened with a hired battery
and will enter the season with a deter
mination to have good clean games
and to give our citizens the best con-
tests they can possibly make. With
this end in view three subscription
lists will be circulated and it is to be
! hoped that all baseball enthusiasts
who are interested in the great Amer
ican sport, will encourage the locals
and give them every financial assist
ance. The Association starts with $55
which they have received as their
share from the Dover and Milford
games, and with the voluntary con-
tributions they hope to increase the
fund to $500, so as to equip the Smyr
ma team and mt them on a strong
substantial footing. At the meeting
last evening George W. Cunning wai
elected president and assistant man
ager; Clifton Turner, secretary; Mar
tin F. Doherty, treasurer, and DIR
Frank Gardner, manager. The direc
tors elected were: DIR. Frank Gardner
Walter F. Keith, William Norris, DIR
w. V. Messick. Geo. W. Cunning

D be the "Old show lot' used as a par
for several years and will be enclose
? with high board fence. The best lC
g cal material will be put in training an
when supplemented with a strong ba
terry, will doubtless give the Smyrn
( people some good games. 1t is to b
t hoped that the Association will receiv

FIRE DESTROYS TENEMENT HOUSE.
Some Of the Furniture Was Saved by Assls-

~ of Smyrna. Who Heard the Alarm.
A small tenement house occupied by
William White on the Cowgirl Farm
in Rsymond's Neck, directly opposite
the Carey Frazier farm, was burned to
the ground Thursday morning about
11.45 o'clock together with much of
the contents and entailing a loss of
about $400. The origin of the fire is
a mystery and is supposed to have
been caused by defective fue. The
farm is conducted by Mr.. Phillip
Scott and the tenement house is To-
Gated a considerable distance from his
residence. At the time of the fire there
was no one in the tenement house. Mr..
White had gone to Smyrna and their
son was on another part of the farm.
Mrs. White was in the rear Of the
house digging some potatoes for din
ner when she discovered ;he house Oh
fire. She screamed for help. which
attracted Wakeman White and David
J. Lurty of Smyrna, who were half a
mile away gathering cherries. They
quickly went to her assistance and
succeeded in getting much of the
down stars furniture out of the house.
It was at once seen to be useless to
save the property, aud after getting
all the contents out that was possible,
they could do nothing but let the
house burn. Mr.. White puts his per
sonal loss at S75 on which there was
no insurance Fortunately the tene
ment house was far enough away from
other buildings as to keep it confined
to itself. 1t is understood that the
tenement house will be rebuilt at once

SCARCITY OF CRABS BREAK UP PARTIE!
FavOrite Sport Of Grabbing So Much Enjoy
ed 10 This Vicinity Will Stop Temporarily.

Those who enjoy grabbing are very
much disappointed at the non appear
ance of these crustaceans this summer
The cold weather of the past winter is
attributed as the cause. The condition
of things has had tendency to break
up outing parties which are usually so
numerous this season of the year.
Most all the favorIte grabbing places
have been visited, but in each case
parties have come home without a
catch. The cutting off of this enioya-
BILE pastime is source of great depri-
vation to many and will result in fewer
picnic parties this season than any
time in recent years.

as a surprise to many Portland peo.

was Mr.. Matthews himself, as neither
he nor any of his friends had asked
that he had been given the appoint

The appointment Of United States
Marshal Matthews as disbursiug agent
for the $475,OOO government money at
the 1905 exposition means that the
money will be deposited by the gov
erument in one or two banks in this
city that have heretofore been desig-
mated by the treasury department as
United States repositories, and that

HARD
FOUGHT
CASE

The injunction suit which was
brought by M. Christensen against
Grover Simmons and which was tried
in the September term of the circuit
court, was decided yesterday by Judge
Galloway for the plaintiff, the costs to
be divided equally. Attorney Frank
Holmes handled the case for the plain
tiff and his good work is worthy of
special mention.
The story of the case is as follows:
Christensen owns land in North How
ell Prairie road district No. 16, which
was laid out in 1879, and directly
across the road a man named Hazel
bacher has land. The latter put up a
fence, which he claimed was on his
place, but which in reality is about 2s
feet in the road which runs from the
Little Pudding river bridge, on the
Brooks road, to the Chemawa and Sill
vertOn road. About year ago Chris
tenson put up a fence on his land, but
owing to his neighbor overreaching his
land the plaintiffs S fence is within -
feet of the one opposite, thus leaving
only a l2.foot road where there should
be 80 feet. In June the county court
sent Road Supervisor Simmons out to
the plaintiff IS farm with instructions
to tear the fence down and open traf
fic on the road and to defeat this move
Christensen, through his attorney,
Frank Holmes, filed an injunction suit
against Simmons. The court yesterday
decided that plaintiff was in the right
and issued injunction forbidding the
tearing down of plaintiffs fence by
Simmons or others.

FOUND
VALUABLE
SADDLES
Gypsy Traders Are Suspected
of Hiding Them In
The Brush

The mystery of the many fine sad
dies which disappeared from Salem and
vicinity has at last been cleared up.
Last spring, while band of gypsy
horse traders camped in the outskirts
of the city, a great many fine saddles
began to disappear, and hardly a day
passed but some new theft was report.
ed to the police. The horse traders
were suspected, but no new evidence
was found, and nothing could be done,
but last night it was reported to Chief
Gibson that something was hidden In
the brush on oath street, and that it
looked as though it might be a corpse
spot, which was near the site of the old
gypsy camp, and pulled from the
"cache" three fine saddles, worth from
$35 to $45 each. The saddles are
thought to belong to Lafe Cavanagh,
Toby Willard and Lewis Savage, as
they answer the description left by
these men at the time of the theft. 1t
is the opinion of the chief that the
thieves got scared, and were afraid to
take the saddles with them when they
left, so hid them, intending to return
for them sometime in the future. The
saddles were all packed in burlap and
sacks, as though ready for shipment,
Two brides were also found in the
cache, and diligent search is being
made for the other saddles which were
missing, of which there were three.

Do Not suppress a Cough.

When you have a cough do not try
to suppress it. but remove the cause.
The cough is only symptom of some
disease. and the disease is what you
should cure, then the cough will stop
of itself. The most common cause of
coughing is cold. Anodynes will
promptly suppress the cough. and
preparations containing chloroform,
opium, etc, are used for that purpose.
but they do not cure the cold. Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy on the other
hand does not suppress the cough. but
relieves It by removing from the throat
and lungs the mucus which obstructed
the breathing and allayIng the irrta-
tion and tickling in the throat. 1t also
opens the secretions and effectually
and permanently cures the cold as
well as the cough. For sale ~ J. N.
