VINITA WON
IN TEN INNINGS
Yesterdays Game Was Simp-
Iy a Farce.

The fair sized crowd OF faithful fans
who gathered at Sportsman's Park
yesterday afternoon to watch the VII
nita team in its last struggle Of the
season on the home grounds had their
patience sorely tried by a ten inning
farce that was simply disgusting.
The Fort Scott team hit Harland
hard Ia the first three innings and
combined with errors on Vinita's
pastC these hits gave the visitors six
Of their runs. Jutzi relieved Harland
in the fourth and kept the visitors
completely at his mercy.
Brown and Mays led the locals in
batting, the former getting home
run, TWO base hit and a single, the
latter two, two-base hits and
single.

If is an unfortunate circumstance
that another jury has failed to agree
in the Nan Patterson case Perhaps
it is not to be wondered at, however,
for the country-at-large is just as di-
vided in its opinion of the case as was
this last jury, and in about the same
oportfon-seventy-d per cent for
acquittal and the rest for conviction.
A large number of people will never
believe that Nan Patterson murdered
Caesar Young. To be sure, the former
actress is by no means a model young
woman, but she was not a whit worse,
nor perhaps as bad as thousands OF
others. She loved Caesar Young. He
was race track gambler, and perhaps
nothing better could be expected Of
him than that he should be unfaithful
to his Wife-who seems to be an ad-
rnirabIe woman-and that he should
win the love of Nan Patterson. She
expected him to get a divorce from his
wife and marry her because she loved
him.
The woman who sees another Wo-
man come between herself and the
man she loves does not, as a rule, vent
her hatred on the man, but on the
other woman. Take our own Jessie
Morrison case for instance: When
Jessie Morrison saw another woman
win DIN Castle from her, she did not
attack DIN Castle. but his bride. A
good many people argue that if Nan
Patterson had murder in her heart it
would not have been directed against
Caesar Young, but against those who
were dragging him from her.
The lesson of the Patterson case is
the old, old one-the one that Adam
and Eve first learned back in the
Garden of Eden-that the wages of
sin is death. Sin was at the bottom of
the death of Caesar Young, no matter
how you look at it. Sin caused the
death of Nan Patterson's hopes and
her good reputation. She killed her
character for the sake of Caesar
Young. whether she killed him or not.
She has already been terribly punished
for what she did, if she did not murder
him, and if she is a murderess she may
yet suffer physical death herself.
