SHIVELH IS HERE.
Brings an Umpire Who viii Run the
Games Here.

Parson" Shiveley, president Of the
Western association, looking extraordf-
nafily rotund from his participation IN the
recent Eagle convention at Leavenworth,
came into town at noon. bringing with

played the attendance was over 5000. At
Topeka you had 400; at st. Joe 1900 and

3 400 people last Saturday Say, amt this
ball town, though? And, Incidentally
the rest Of the league is watching this
Topeka bunch. The team that passes it
Will get mighty close to that pennant.
Springfield Is another team that people
want to look out for The Midgets are
mighty strong. They have about the
strongest pitching staff in the circuit.
Everything is up and coming. The league
never was as fine. The acquisition of
Webb is one of the best things that ever
happened. The rivalry between Webb and
Joplin is something fierce. Both of the
clubs are strong.
But to return to Topeka: always con-
tended that this town was one of the best
baseball towns in this territory with a
team that did business. Cooley knows
now to get players and how to get work
out of them He knows his business. To-
peka will have a great thing of it all
season. The White Sox will be in the
running right up to the handle.
Did you ever see such a pretty race a s
most anybody now for first place. That
is what makes business good
The Springfield management last night
sent a message to Shiveley at Kansas

on the field today unless a regular official
umpire was here to do the indicating
THAT was all bluff. you know said
Captain Sebeaugh today. We Just

A good many fans were misled by an
irresponsible statement printed by a

Springfield taken such action then it
could have been fined $50 and would have
forfeited the game

Ex-CONVICT in TROUBLE
Threatened to Kill Family and
Sheriff Is After Him.

Edward Shaw. a paroled convict, has
started something which Will probably
land him back in the penitentiary to
serve his unexpired sentence. lie was
sentenced to the penitentiary from
Kingman county for forgery and serV-
ed IS months of his sentence and be-
ing paroled, came to this city and since
that time has been reporting regularly
to E. A. Fredenhagen, secretary for the
Society of the F'riendless.
He has been employed about the city
in various capacities and recently Went
to board with the family of A King,
an employe of the Santa Fe shops who
lives in the eastern portion Of the city.
The Kings have a married daughter,
Mrs. Gelan, and a strong attachment
at once sprung up between the daugh-
ter and the ex-convict which resulted
in a manifested display of jealousy on
the part of the husband. The King fam
ily arFaying themselves on the side OF
the son-in-law and against their daugh-
te;.
This enraged Shaw who filed up on
bad whisky Saturday evening and ap-
peared at the home of the Kings and
announced that he had come down to
t'elean out the family" Before the po-
lice arrived he had made his escape
and was not seen again until this morn
ing when Mrs. King and son were
coming up Sixth street and met him ac-
companied by Mrs. Gelan. Mrs. King

tated a scene during which Shaw made
a motion to draw revolver.
Mrs. King and her son left the scene
at once ana reported the matter to
Sheriff Lucas who has been on the
lookout for Shaw since that time but
has not been able to locate him. Mrs
Gelan has shown decided preference
to her ex-convict lover and offered to
give $500 which she has in the bank,
to her husband providing he will not
urge the prosecution of Shaw.
The probabilities are that Shaw viii
be located soon and taken back to the
penitentiary to serve the remainder of
his unexpired sentence In the mean
kirne Mrs. King has barricaded her
home as she is afraid that Shaw viii
return and murder the family as he has
threatened to do.

Many of them promised their consti-
tuents after their election that they

glad to keep them in st. Petersburg.

What ,precipitated to the crisis Is
