BASEBALL NOTES

A few Of Condon's base ball
veterans" picked up enough
men to fill out the team and
went over to Mayville Sunday to
play the Mayville boys on their
new diamond. The Mayville
team, remembering the "drub-
bing" they received over here
three weeks ago, had strength
ened their team and proceeded to
trot around the bases for a total
Of thirteen scores while on Con-
don's side only nine men were a.
BILE to cross the home plate. The
diamond was slow and no inter-
est was taken in the game by
either side. Wild throwing lost
the game for Condor. Since
coming home the boys say that
the only way the only way they
can get any commentator from
some of the citizens is to play a
tie game, which they will eniea-
vor to do in the future. These
people who are are always howl

First Performance Will be Given To- night and Good Program is Prom ised.

l.. r. Anderson. manager of the Olympic theater, reports everything in readiness for the opening night and. judging by the advance sale of seats for the week, the theater will have big crowds every night as well as at the matinees on Saturday and Sunday.
 Nine performers have been secured for the opening week and all are in the city but one. who will arrive on this mornings train.l It is the purpose of the management to present fine vaudeville program and employ only first class artists. The present pro- gram will include aerial acts, singing. dancing, and a general variety that is guaranteed to please, making up an entertainment that will last two and a quarter hours, and most of it will be of a humorous nature.
 The house. which is the old Hard wick theater. has been renovated and equipped for the purposes of a good vaudeville theater and the reception that has been given the management by the public in the way of seat reser- vations and personal encouragement, is flattering. As heretofore announc- ed. 1t is the purpose to change the bill every Wednesday night. This is done that new artists may be secured each week after the close of their coast en- agreements which end the first of the week. The house changes on the cir cult are scheduled for the convenience of the performers and the economy of all concerned, for it is recognized that a continuous theater in city of this size at such distance from booking centers. to be profitable. must be handled with the greatest economy possible and that the house must also enjoy the liberal patronage of the community. which the Olympic will community, which the Olympia will strive to make itself worthy of.

WHtfLER'S REPORT
 10 THE GOVERNOR
Official Story of the Capture of the Papsgo Murderers at EI cobo.

The formal report of Captain Wheel CT of the rangers to the governor, on his recent expedition to the Papago country. was received at the capital yesterday. It verified about all that has been heretofore printed and gave a few additional details.
 Describing the capture he said the posses reached Fl Cobo unannounced and found only women and children in camp. the men all being out in the hills among the cattle. The officers waited until they returned in twos and threes and arrested them as they came in. About twenty men were thus as- sembled, but the man wanted, John Johns was not among them. The In- dians were sullen saying their only reason for trying to conceal the crim- inal was that an Indian when arrested was not given a fair show by the white men. Finally they were told to pro- duce Johns or the entire company would be taken to Tucson. They then pointed out an adjacent wheat field where they said Johns was working and the officers went in that direction.
 Captain Wheeler says that as they approached they saw a man trying to sneak away through the brush into the hills. He rounded him up and arrested him and it proved to be the man want ed. Johns when arrested laid the crime at the door of another Indian named Kaytano. who was then arrested as an accomplice. the two being taken to Tucson. Captain Wheeler says there is no doubt that Kaytano had some thing to do with the kiIling.
 The trip saved Pima county about $15e0 in cash says Captain Wheeler and made a good impression on the Indians of the white mans authority. Speak ing of the Indians Captain Wheeler said that for the most part they are a peaceable and well behaved tribe and in every little village there is chapel and an altar elabOrately decorated. They mean to be well behaved but feel that they have not always been given fair treatment wherefore they try to protect each other from arrest. The captain says it is an ideal stock coun- try, the best he has seen in the south west. The captain also pays high compliment to Sheriff Pacheco whose coolness, firmness and ability to con- verse readily with the Indians in Span ish, did much to make for the success of the expedition
