Judging from the juicy bunch of fines

The first game of the season at Og-

then, you know, there's no anvil cho-

bat 500 and field 1000 per cent, or the

as for the last two, let's all jubilate

game, ten innings. Who says that isn't
playing? That was contest where
everybody stood on their tiptoes and
awaited chance to yell. Oh, but 1t
was a peach. This is no place to de-
scribe such game. The way to ap-
preclate a struggle like that is to go
and see it. Take a ride down and
spend two bits, or thirty-five cents and
see 1t. Everybody ought to go and see
the games. Give the boys encourage
ment. They are playing ball, and dol
lar ball at that.

Court to Get Out of Jail.

w. H. Terry, in Jail at lola, has ap-

of habeas corpus, and sets up q Pc
culiar condition of things which war
rants his release.
Terry was sent to Jail to serve a six
months sentence and pay a $500 fine.
After his six months had been served
and he was. as he claimed, wrongfully
confined in jail serving out his fine,
there was a Jail delivery. Somebody
sawed out a window. and Mr.. Terry
took the opportunity to depart. He
was recaptured the next day, and put
under $500 bond to answer to the
charge of jail breaking. He rendered
the bond, but it was refused on the
ground that he had to stay in Jail to
serve out his $500 fine on the other
offense.
chris Ritter, attorney for Mr.. Terry.
says that Terry was illegally confined
in jail serving out his fine, and that
therefore it was no crime for him to
make his escape. He wants a writ
of habeas corpus on this ground
