Three Games of Baseball to Be Pulled Of at Forest Park This Week
 Ware, With Nationals.

The Arkansas Nationals of this city have arranged to play the Dan Shea team of Memphis at Forest Park on Thursday, Friday and Saturday of this week. The Nationals have been strengthened greatly since their games on July 4, and intend to put in some-much needed practice befors these contests Ware, the ~fsrm- CT shortstop of the High Life team of this city, will hold down that posi-
 tion for the Nationals in these games, while Mullin, the star pitcher of the High Lifes, will twirl one of the games. These players have not yet been released entirely by the High Lilies but it seems that in all probability they will be permanent additions to the Nationals.
 The Dan Shea team is composed of many of the best amateur ball players of Memphis and a large number of them were the star performers on the team which made such an enviable reputation among amateur ball play CTS last year, the Memphis All Collegians
 The Nationals expect to be a match for their opponents however, and three games worthy of the name Of base ball may be expected.

 He said that he was represent
 ing MT Adams because that gentle man was too feeble to climb the stairs and speak for himself. That MT. Adams claimed that his business had been injured by report which MT. Adams says is untrue. That it was claimed that the failure of the annexation ordinance to stand the test of the courts was because of an error made by his concern in the printing of the ordinance. In the first place, he said, the original or dinance as drawn was so messed up' that it was with greatest diff 1lculty that it could be read at all; that MT. Coleman's stenographer compared the original copy with the proof and went over the same and corrected it. As a matter of fact the annexation scheme did not fail on account of the error as reported by City Attorney Coleman but on other grounds. Mir. Sorrells stated that the matter should be investigat- ed and the responsibility placed where It belonged. That if it was MT. Coleman's error then it should be placed on MT. Coleman's should CTS. That that gentleman or any other person should not undertake to cover their own mistakes by charging them to othd' persons. MT. Sorrells stated that he did not know that the world would come to an end if it should be determined that MT. Coleman was wrong for the reason that Coleman as we'll as every other person is not perfect and liable to commit errors. But, if so, then they shoulder the responsibility and not undetake to lay the burden of their mistakes upon those innocent of the charge. MT.

WIFE CHASED
 HIM TO SHOOT
Negro Appeals to the Police and Re- quests That His Better Half Be Placed Under Arrest to Pro.
 tect Himself.

M R. Perry, negro living at No. 600 East Seventeenth avenue, this morning came into police headquar- ters and asked that his wife be ar rested, as she was at that time car
 rying a pistol, he said, and he thought with the intention of killing him. He said he has a horse with q sore leg and that this morning, as usual, he got bucket and prepared a solution which had been given him with which to wash the sore, and went out to the horses stall to doctor the horse. His wife then came out, and siezed the bucket, jerking it out of his hand. He quickly pulled away from her and admitted hitting her very hard in the face, and that she cursed him, and ran in the house. His son quickly came out and told him that he had better make himself scarce,' as his mother had her pis- tol. Perry evidently thought that the suggestion was worthy of considera- tion, for he left the neighborhood im- mediately He further claimed that his wife had been following him all over town this morning in order to get a shot at him. He asked Chief Stewart that his wife be arrested, as he did not want to have any trouble with her. Perry is a large, stout ne- gro and about middle aged. He seems very anxious for the police to catch his offending wife, and waited long time in the police office to hear of the results of their search over the busi- ness part of the city. The police had not arrested her at a late hour this afternoon.

HEARD CASH REGISTER RING
 Adf~ Patrolman Hargrove Inves- tigated and Found Negro Burglar in Smart and Ritchie's Store.
WENT OUT A WINDOW
Fatrolman Fired Several Shots at Negro But He Made His Escape- Police Arrest Suspect Later-Dc. nies the Charge.

When Patrolman J. R. Hargrove heard cash register bell ring while patroling an alley between Pine and
 Chestnut streets and Third and Fourth avenues last night shortly af : ter Il o'clock, he made an investiga- tion and discovered a negro burglar rif1ing the cash register in the gro 'cery store of Smart and Ritchie. He located the window through which the negro gained entrance into the build ing and climbed in. The negro heard him coming and ran towards the front of the store. As he ran he grabbed broom and smashed out the plate glass in one of the front doors.
 The patrolman fired several shots at the fleeing thief, but none of the,n took effect. After he was outside the negro hurried away and tout footed the policeman. Patrolman Hargrova recognized the negro, however, and an hour later Hargrove, Evan Par
 nell and Ridener arrested Will Neasley at his home. Neasley denies his alleged guilt, but the finding of a lot of groceries at his home strength ems the belief of the police that he is the guilty man. He has been jailed pending an investigation.
 Alexander Brothers store on the opposite side of the street was en- tered by burglars Sunday night and the cash drawer rifled. Nothing was secured.
