On Thursday in Imper- ial they were beaten twice, Inn perial being strengthened by players from Ell Centro and Holt vile. Friday, with four new players they succeeded in holding Fl Centro to a tie game, the game being called at the end of the seventh inning on account of darkness with the score two to two. Saturday they played a close game against Holtville, be- ing beaten by close decisions, five to four. Calexico proved easy for the visitors, who took two games Sunday by one-sided scores.

WIFE MURDERER
Prixedis rlOreno shoots in Cold Blood
 the Woman Who Left Him.

Prixedis Moreno, a Mexican la- borer shot and killed his wife at Calexico last Sunday morning and hoped over the line out of reach of American law. The Mexican officers refused to arrest him. although he was carrying a gun in violation of Mexican law, and he loafed about Mexicali with impunity.
 Moreno and the woman were married recently and lived at Brawley, but the woman left him shortly after marriage and went to Calexico. Moreno threatened to kill her and she appealed to the sheriff for protection, but nothing was done to restrain the man and on Sunday he went to Calexico, walked into the house where the woman was living and coolly murdered her.
 On Tuesday Moreno was re- ported to be headed toward the colony down the river. In an swer to a request that Moreno be arrested and held to await extra dition proceedings, Senor Maris- cal wired to Fl Centro that de- tention of the murderer would not be in accord with treaty. pro- visions governing diplomatic re- lations.

THAT FATAL SIXTH
HoItviIIe Defeats Fl Centro in One
 Inning
Local Team Outbatted and Outfielded, But Played SplendidIy for Eight Innings Indians det Two Out ct Five in the Valley.

In one of the most exciting games yet played in the valley, Fl Centro was beaten by Holt vile Sunday by a score of six to two. Because of the interruption in the schedule caused by the series of games with the Mecca Indians, this game was only an exhibition game and therefore does not countin the league stand ing. It was nevertheless hotly contested all the way
 Holtville came over to win and went about it in the right way. Every man was on the alert from the first man up to the end of the ninth inning. Cook, Wimp and Shepard were equally effective, only one lonesome single being made off each. Fl Centro also put up a frst-class article of base ball for the most part, falling down only in the sixth inning when a few timely hits combined with costly errors by the local in fielders brought in six runs for Holtville, the only ones they scored during the game but enough to win handily. 4"
 Fl Centro started out well in the first inning with two men on bases and only one out. Chand- Ter hit hot one to right field that looked safe, but BrocaW made a magnificent scooping catch close to the ground and by a quick throw to second retired the side with no run. Neither side was near scoring again until the third inning, when Stanley got base on balls and scored on a hit and an error. The next two innings belonged to the pitchers, who made first base appear a long way off to the batters. The sixth was disastrous for Fl Centro. HoItville's heavy batters landed on Stanley for several sharp hits, but these would have been pro ductive of not more than two, and
Imperial Valley press., 1907-12-07

possibly only one run, with good fielding. Infeld errors however, helped to pile up six runs and the result of the game was prac- tically decided then and there.
 Fl Centro made a desperate rally in the ninth. Chandler made hit, stole second and third and came in on a missed third strike. The next batters were unequal to the task of knocking Mir. Shepard out of the box and the game ended with a score of six to two.
 Next Sunday the league series will be resumed. Fl Centro will play Holtville at /Holtville and Imperial will play CalexicO at Ca lexico. The local team will en- deavor to reverse last Sundays result and thereby secure a firm o,, hold Op first Dlacp

e Before You Could Say Jack Robinson

THE origin Of the popular phrase Before
Il YOU could say Jack Robinson has some
Tunes been attributed To one Hudson. an old
professional wit and song writer OF London.
In the peculiar photography Of that early
period, the lines ran:
a warke it vs. as easie to be done
~ tvs TO save JACKIE robys on
But a more crcditable story Is that told by
Lord Eldou III his manuscript IncCdote book.
During the debates on the India bill" he
wrote at which period John Robinson was
Secretary to the Treasury, Sheridan. on one
evening when Fox's m1JorItIes We're dcvredS-

To the Bitter End "

nNE of the most interesting phases OF the
~ study of language IS the peculiar man
ner in which words and phrases originating IN
mistakes finally grow into the common speech
OF the people.
An instance of this Is the expression, To
the bitter end" which IS commonly used 20
denote the final extremity OF crisis Al
though perfectly proper to-day. 1t Is IN reality
a mistake. The correct phrase Is 10 the bet
ter end" and arose from the fact that when a
vessel has paid out all her cable in a storm 1t
has run out % the end which has been little
used and. therefore. TO the better end.
Daniel Defoe uses the proper phrase IN
Robinson Crusoe IN his description of the
storm At Yarmouth. when he SAYS. " We rode
with two anchors ahead. and the cables veered
out TO the better end.

To Die in the Last Ditch "

THE earliest use of the expression. To die
in the last ditch" was made by William
OF Orange, the stakeholder Of the Dutch RePub-
lie.
While he Wa CARRYING on his appare1tly
hopeless struggle against Louis XIV. Bucklng-
ham. who was urging him 70 yield, asked HIM
whether ne did not see the utter rum OF his
country that was impending.
There Is one certain means, replied
William, by which l can be sure never to
see my country's ruin-l VIII die II the last

" Conspicuous by Absence

TACITUS the great Roman historian. was
the originator Of the phrase Conspicuous
bv his absence" when, describing the funeral
Of Junia in his Ann1lcs he said that the images
of her famous kinsmen BrutuS and CaSslus
shone by their absence. Lord John Russell
popularized the phrase in England in 1850 by
saying of Lord Derby's Reform Bill. One
provision is conspicuous by its presence, an
other by its absence"

" Rob Peter to Pay Paul "

THE common expression. " Robbing Peter to
pay Paul" found its origin in London IN
1870 when an appropriation was made from
Saint Peters Cathedral (now Westminster
Abbey) to make up a deficiency in the accounts
of Saint Paul's. the other famous English ca
thedral The action reused good deal OF
adverse criticism on the part of the people, who
coined the phrase for the occasion.

" Ducks and brakes "

TIL origin Of the common saying Making
l. ducks and drakcs with ones money. "
Is attributed to a game described III the
words Of an old writer as a kind Of sport or
play with an oistcr shell or stone thrown into
water. and making circles Yer 1t siukc-' II the

phrase Is of course. only a metlphorical one TO

BEAT N. w. RAILWAY
Chicago and Milwaukee Gets New
Switches Into New Naval
School Property
STEAM ROAD IS 0UTWITTED

Taking the Chicago and Northwest
ern while it was mapping, the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric Railroad Co.
has scooped its competitor out of prac-
tica1ly all of the freight business of
the United States Naval'Training Sta
ton at North Chicago and at least
spoiled the monopoly of the business
the Northwestern has thus far en-
joyed.
Beginning with an innocent little
side track, which has it's start at the
naval station depot of the electric
line, and ending with bridge across
the ravine and length of track in
side the reservation wheresit is under
government control, the electric road
really has the better of the deal, and
succeeded in masking its purpose
until Sunday, when the Northwestern
awoke to find OUT that the electric
road siding will cut off its own and
connect with government tracks that
it has been using.
For some time unimportant appear
ing work has 0een gong on along the
west fence of the naval reservation,
the laying of an innocent appearing
track or two by the electric road.
Previous to this spur of the cleo
trio tracks had been run toward the
reservation from the depot at the en-
trance to the government territory.
Later work began on a bridge
across the ravine within the school
territory, and Sunday the electric
road began to lay tracks in straight
line for the spur the'Northwestern has
been using.
This means that the electric line
will get in on the government tracks
with the Northwestern, and as it
comes on from the south, will proba-
bly, haul all the material for the naval
school from Ives aud T4ibertyvi11e in
stead of the Northwestern.

SEEK MISSING MAN
Local Officials Asked To Search for M.
J. P1antz, Missing From Chicago

Local Officials Asked To Search for M.
J. Plantz, Missing From Chicago
County Clerk Russell H. Jones this
morning received letter from Walter
Plantz, of Chicago, one of the officials
of the w. M. Plantz Paint company,
asking him to make an effort to aid
in the search for Matthew j. Plantz,
well known Chicago man, who has
been missing since Nov. 81 of last
year. Plantz left Chicago on 4 BUSH
ness trip and since that time nothing
has been heard of him. 1t is thought
possible that he has been killed and
buried as an unknown or that he has
been committed to some asylum for
the insane under an assumed name.
Chicago relatives are asking that the
descriptions Of all men killed in Ke-
nosha county and not identified be
sent to them at once. Plantz had
often been in Kenosha and had
friends here and for this reason it is
thought possible that he came to this
city.

Episcopalian clergy IN the Milwau-

"pad" their reports Of parish work to
be presented at the sixth annual
diocesan council on Septem Der 10.
Bishop w. w. Webb says in a COM
munication in the Living Church that
ia the past the heads of the church
have often been deceived by unrei-
able reports. He says he wants truth
full figures, however much they may
hart the pride Of the clergymen sub
hitting them.
Nothing but harm can come from
a padded communicate list or re-
port that shows financial condition
contrary to facts. Figures may be
made to lie, but in parochial reports
we want them to tell the truth, what
ever it may cost the pride of the rector
or the bishop. We are particularly
concerned that the income of the
parish for current expenses, the
stipend Of the priest, and the amount
of insurance paid up to be exactly re-
