May Lose Ball Team. "A new move
ment has been started in regard to
supporting a Moline baseball team
which will be a credit to the city. A
stock company will be formed by the
present owners of the local team with
a capital of $4,000, the shares to be
sold at IS each. The local team has
been playing good bah but its financial
support has been poor and it is thought
by this arrangement more citizens will
be interested in the success of the.
team and thus increase the attendance
at the games The team will be kept
in Moline until July Is, if the attend
ance warrants it. but in case 1t does
not the team will be taken to Musca-
tine. where most of the games will be
played.

he is a wise hunter, he will not ven
ture a shot at a havalene. All at
tempts to hunt havaenes with dogs end
in disaster, for the animals travel in
small droves, and they will turn on the
dogs and rip them to pieces in short
order. Hayalcnes when full grown are
three and a half to four feet long, and
weigh I2s to $50 pounds, They have
long, thick, dark gray hair. They re-
semble pig, but have small ears, dainty
feet, and are trim and neat. A pair
of captive havalenes beside the station
at Kingsville, Texas, attract a great deal
of attention from travellers. They are
very tame and like to be petted and
scratched, but are rather too quick to
resent fancied affronts to be agreeable
pets.
