DRAFTED BY NATIONALS

George Paige has been drafted by the
Cincinnati base ball team in the Nation
al league. The following was clipped
from the Denver News:
"Last spring when Pitcher George
Paige was literally driven off the Denver
team by knockers who contended that
he was not fast enough for the Western
league, the sporting columns OF The
News characterized 1T as a most unwise
move and declared Paige to be far and
away the best pitcher on the Denver
staff, statement that brought forth
much caustic comment from certain To-
cal base ball writers. Since that time
Paige has borne out all that was said OF
him by the News. His pitching in the
South Atlantic league after leaving Den
YER was so sensational as TO make him
the talk of that part of the country in
base ball circles, and such as to cause
him to be signed for next year with the
Cincinnati club Of the National league.
The national commission has decided
that the Denver club forfeited all claim
10 Paige when it sent him to the South
Atlantic league through the anti.farming
rule which was made ias. winter.

JUDGE DESvO|GNES
FILES OPINIONS
Four Cases Under Considera>
ton Since last Term De-
cided Monday.
MCGREGOR WINS COUNTY CASE
Court Holds that he Need not Re-
fund Money Unless Fraud
Can be Shown.

Judge DesVoignes handed down his
Monday as follows:
In favor Of complainant in the case of
William q. Triece VS.. the City of South
Haven. This was an injunction case iu-
volving the building of a sidewalk on
complainants line.
In favor of complainant in case OF
Wm. Kirkwood VS.. Hans r. Jensen.
This was suit brought to recover right
of way to "Kirkwoods island" Three
Mile lake.
In favor of defendant in case OF Frank
II. Patt vs.. John c. Fillmore. This suit
was the outcome of an exchange of a
farm owned by Platt and e. r. Jennings
in Waverly township for two millinery
stores In Iowa. 1t was claimed by COM
plainant that the millinery stock was
not as represented.
The opinion of the greatest interest to
citizens of Van Buren, county was in the
case of the board Of supervisors vs. NAL
colin McGregor. At the last January ses-
sion of the board of supervisors of this
county, committee was appointed to
investigate the bills rendered to the
county for the six previous years by the
sheriffs and their deputies. AS a result
of such investigation, the committee re-
ported that certain unwarranted and il
legal fees had been Heretofore allowed
by the board of supervisors and paid to
Sheriff John II. Brtton aud to his dep
uty, Malcolm McGregor, of South Ha-
ven md also Ex-she.if w. j. Thomas,
Britton's predecessor.
Suit being threatened, Britton refund
ed the sum claimed of him, which was
about 81 100. Thomas refused to CON-
ply with any demand, as also did Nc
Gregor. SUIT was brought against the
latter to recover the sum of $500, the
amount which the board claimed lie had
received in excess of his legal fees.
The facts were agreed upon and Judge
Des Voignes in his opinion holds that
the money cannot be recovered. He
/ holds in effect that as there was no fraud
shown, the bills all being fairly item
lied and having been allowed by unan-
imous vote of the board after having
been favorably reported on by the COM
mittee on claims and the same having
been paid by the county treasurer, the
board is thereby estopped from now
claiming judgment for sums that have
been overpaid, it having been the duty
of the board and its committee to make
full and due investigation before allow
ing the claims.
1t cannot be learned at this time
whether or not the case will be carried to
the supreme court.

District Canvassers at Allegan

County Clerk Mosier attended the
meeting of the district board of canvass.
ers at Allegan last Tuesday. The re-

LAMPS IN DEMAND THIS WEEK

The burning out of several coils at the
electric light plant last Monday night
left the village in darkness. Kerosene
lamps, candles and lanterns were again
brought into use and the village had
the appearance of"ye olden times" New
parts for the machinery have been or
dered and it is hoped that we may have
lights again by Saturday night. 1t is
thought that when the worn out parts
are replaced no more difficulty will be
experienced.

Busy Place at "Britts."

Roy Britton's cigar store is busy
place every evening. The returns from
the League are received there every
evening and man. ct the excited fans
of the village congregate there to discuss
the situation. Now that Detroit has
practically cincned the pennant in one
of the greatest base ball fights in the
history of the game, the outcome of the
worlds series is che sole topic of discus
sion. Can the Tigers beat the Cubs, is
the question? The fans are hoping.

PLAY SERIES WITH DOWAG|AC
Series Of Five Games Arranged.
First Played Sunday. Sec
On6 on Home Grounds.

The local base ball team has arranged
a series Of five games with the fast Do
wagiacs, who are claiming the state
championship. The first game was
played at Dowagiac last Sunday Paw
Paw outplayed them at every stage of
the game, but lost the contest by the
score of 3 to 2 Paige was in the box
for Paw Paw and allowed but four scat
tered hits, while Reshore was touched
up for u. Dowagiac made all her runs
on an unavoidable error by Killefer.
He stepped on a bunch of bats while
going after a foul and lost it. This out
would have retired the side without a
run. 1t was a good clean game, how
ever, with no chance for an argument,
About 40 Paw Paw fans accompanied
the team.
THURSDAYS GAME.
The second game of the series was
scheduled for the home grounds yester-
day. The day opened with a heavy
shower, but it soon cleared away, and
the prospects seemed good for fair af-
ternoon. The Dowagiac team came in
on the l2:55 train accompanied by about
100 rooters. In addition to that there
were 10 automobiles from Dowagiac
and large number of rooters from
Decatur, Lawton and all surrounding
towns. Soon after noon another heavy
shower made things look dubious. The
teams donned their uniforms, how
ever, and some went to the ball park,
but the rain continued and the game
was called off. 1t was disappointed but
loyal lot of fans who werded their way
homeward through the mud, as the
game would undoubtedly have been the
best one played on the home grounds IN
years.
Tbe next game OF the series will be
PLAYED in Dowagiac, Sunday, October
6, and. the Dowagiacs will return to Paw
Paw Tuesday, October 8, for the third
game. Should it rain Tuesday the visit
ing team will remain and play on Wed
nesday. Fans, take notice, Remember
the date, Tuesday, il it is fair, and Wed
nesday should the day be unfavorable
there will be ball game "what is"

N large number Of ties distrlb-

A Very Pretty House

The new house being built here
for w. B. Boydstun is nearly COM
pleted. 1t is 24x32 feet, two stories
high, porches on both floors, and
contains ten rooms. 1t is built on
a hill in picturesque situation
and commands a fine view of the
lake. The first story is built of
hewn logs, Finnish workmen being
employed, and the careful cutting
and fitting of these logs is a credit
to their skill in handling such mat
erials.
