Our Ball Team.

The Canyon City ball team left
Sunday evening on its trip
through the Middle States in
tending to make its first stop in
Kansas. 1t will be absent
month, or perhaps until near our
Reunion
The Daily Panhandle in speak
ing of this tour and also of the
Canyon-Amarillo series of games
says:
The Canyon City team leaves
Saturday for trip through Ne
braska, Missouri, Iowa and Hi
nois. This aggregation should
be able to hold their own with
any of them. In Bell, Strebel,
Wicker and Mitchell they have
four stars and the remainder of
the team are reliable ball players.
Hollander's change of position
seems to have changed his bat
ting luck, but we do not want our
sterling athlete to go to hitting
so well that some major league
club will gobble him up.
You've got to give it to Bell.
He is one of the best first base
men in the State. Although he
made two errors Thursday, we
choose him. Sheldon, of Temple,
and Ozee, the crack GAINESVILLE
first baseman, are the only ones
in the state that might be shade
better than Bell.
"Cy" Young, the crack Can
yon outtielder, has gone to the
Paris club in the North Texas
league, Cy was a great favorite
with Amarillo people and many
of them would have liked to see
him on the Amarillo team.
The Canyon-Amarillo series is
now tied, each team having won
and lost five games.

tated For Long Time.

Manchester, July 10--The construc-
tion OF new railroad between this town
and Granville, N. ~, is now assured by
the formation Of the Mettowee Valley
Railroad company, which will absorb the
Manchester, Dorset & Granville road and
carry the line on to Granville. This
road, built several years ago, reached
only TO the Norcross and West quarries
at South Dorset and extended over only
six Of the % miles between this town
and Granville. Thus 1t failed to relieve
the residents OF Dorset, Pawlet and R0-
pert from the necessity Of driving many
miles to reach the railroad
What has been desired all along is
a connecting link between the Rutland
railroad at Manchester, and the Della
ware g. Hudson at Granville, which
would tap a rich freight and passenger
district The constant agitation Of the
residents of the towns interested re-
Gently took the form Of meeting, which
led to the formation Of a stock com
pany.

LYNCHING THREAT !.
AFTER THE VERDICT
Not Guilty Without Capital Punish
ment Was Not Considered Salts
factory to The People of
HahnviIle, La.

Hahnville, La, July 19.--Campisciano
Mrs. Campisciano, Tony Costa and
Frank Gendusa were yesterday held
guilty without capital punishment" in
the Lamana kidnapping case.
The verdict in the case was reached
Just before dark last night after the
Jury had been out AS minutes and at
the close Of four days trial full OF
excitement. Silence greeted the fore
mans announcement. The spectators
listened quietly while the jury declared
that their verdict was unanimous and
then court adjourned.
An hour afterward 1t was reported
that preparations for lynehing were
under way. A physician of local prom
nance made statement "that the good
people Of st. Charles repudiated the
verdict" and it was prostitution Of
Justice"
The lynching reports came from as
far as New Orleans twenty miles away,
and the local officers were apprehensiye
that a party might be made up there to
aid in such an attempt. Only three of
the prisoners were mentioned in these
rvlmors of violence, the name of Mrs.
Campiseiano being ommitted. The Others
are the woman's husband and Collagero
Gendlisa and Tony Costa.
The prisoners were returned to the
st. Charles parish Jail, an isolated
structure, standing in the fields quar-
ter of mile away from any habita-
tion except the sheriff's house and the
court house, 1t was deemed unwise to
take the prisoners back to New Orleans
by train last night, since the railroad
would have to take them through a
somewhat wild country. The sheriff,
who mas the prisoners in confinement,
is looked on as capable man in de.
Tending them in almost any contingency.
