BIG SALE OF BALES
MADE IN AMERICUS
Nine Hundred Are Bought
Here
f. q. ARTHUR IS THE PURCHASER
Sale of 900 Sales Cuts Big Hole in
Local Stock-Price is Eleven Cents
and Farmers Selling Only Two 9th
err Large Lots Are Held Here.

The purchase of nine hundred bales
fine cotton within the past day or two
has aroused latent interest in Americas
warehouse circles and caused both
buyers and holders to ''sit up and take
notice" The sale of $50 bales yester-
day makes total of 900 sold here.
Mr.. Fred B. Arthur is the purchaser
of the large lot, which turns something
like $4,000 of bottled up coin into
channels of trade, as all the cotton was
owned by farmers here.
And warehouse stocks are reduced in
like proportion.
Yesterday Wheeler street, near the
Central Railway yards, was blocked
with hundreds of cotton bales, which
were beng classed and sampled. The
spectacle, at this season, was such an
unusual one that photograph was
taken of the cotton bales and busy
workers.
Eleven cents was the price paid for
the most of it.
The 900 bales belonged to various
parties and were stored in two or three
of the local warehouses.
OF the $50 bales bought yesterday,
something like 125 belonged to Mr.. D.
G. Jones, while Is belonged to Mr..
Wardlaw Num-, both of them success
full farmers here. All of this lot was
stored at the Johnson 81 Harold ware
house.
This house still holds 300 bales be-
longing to Mr. w. p. lowers and 200
bales belonging to Mr.. j. M. Summer
ford, who do not care to sell just now
even at eleven cents, the excellent price
paid for large portion of the 900 bales
just bought by Mr.. F. B. Arthur.
These two remaining lots. totaIing
500 bales, is very fine cotton and really
the bulk of that now held in Americas
warehouses.

WILL PLANT ABOUT AS USUAL
Acreage Same But Yield VIII BE
Much Less.

Judge j. I. Hitler, of Plains, was in
town Yesterday. Judge Hitler believes
that the cotton acreage around Plains
this season will be about as usual, but
that production may be lessened
through inability to get fertilizers in
the same quantity as last spring. Many
farmers in that section turned their
cotton seed back into the ground for
the enrichment of the soil, and there
seems to be a pronounced inclination
that way.

EFFORT IS MADE TO
HOLD Up CITIZEN
Bold Attempt at Robbery
Here
MANAGER ASKED TO DELIVER
Man Evide ntly Desperate Enters Loan
Office Here and Demands Money
RHanegsr Was Saved Ry Era ance Of
Other Parties.

The bOIdest attempt i'll the hold up''
line ever known in Americas, and one
that would have reflected high credit
upon Alkali Ike or Deadeye Dick Of the
wild and woolly west, was made here
yesterday in the business office OF
Mason Il Co., on Lamar street.
The company's office is on the second
floor, and Mr.. Patillo was in charge
alone when brawny stranger entered
and, after few words, made an en-
phatic demand for money.
This demand was emphasized by a
significant dropping of the strangers
hand upon his hip pocket.
Mr.. Patillo was taken completely by
surprise at this sudden turn of affairs
and began to parley with his robust
visitor who, in addition to a probable
pistol appendix, carried hickory club
that would in itself have proved an
effectual persuader.
But the fellow wanted the coin, and
said so most emphatically.
In the meantime Mr.. PatiIlO cOntin-
ued to expostulate, hoping that relief
would come from some source, as he
was wholly at the mercy Of his brawny
and evidently desperate visitor.
At the crucial moment, however, the
door opened and Manager Lanier step
ped in Immediately the stranger
moved to the door and, in a flash and
before Patillo could explain the situa-
ton, had dashed down the stairway to
the street.
And just as quickly he was lost to
view as though the earth had swal-
lowed him.
Mr.. Lanier at once conferred with
the police and both officers Redmond
and Willis went after him. Redmond
had seen the man before during the
day. knowing him by the description
given, but all efforts to find him again
were of no avail.
All of the resorts about town were
searched, but the bird had flown. 1t was
a bold and daring attempt at ''hOldup"
and something cntirelyinew in Sedate
and quiet Americas.

STRANGER WITH DIAMONDS hERE
Seeks Loan on Gems of Beauty and
Value.

Some little surprise was occasioned
in Americas day or two since by the
efforts Of a stranger to secure cash
loan upon diamonds of great beauty
and considerable value. And this sur
prise was increased when it became
known that the loan desired was far
below the value of the sparklers. 1t is
said that one of the banks and at least
one of the leading jewelers. here were
thus approached, but the desired loan
was not forthcoming in either instance,
and the stranger departed with the
gems. The matter may have been all
right, but it certainly was one wholly
out of the ordinary here. T

HUlEh SUED FOR DIVORCE
Former Salt Lake Ball Player Is Not
Dead but Dodging
His Wife.

Blanche Hulen has begun suit for divorce
against William F. Hulen at Fairfield,
Ore. The defendant is Billy Hulen. the
welI-known ball player. former captain of
the Salt Lake team, and the man whom
H. Joseph tried to throw in jail for
breaking his contract.
He and his wife were married March I,
1896 and he mysteriOusly disappeared on
February %. 1906. Hulen spent the win
ter working a placer claim about twenty
miles from Yreka. On the date mentioned
he left with the avowed purpose of going
to Seattle to raise funds to develop his
mining claim. Hulens wife was then at
Ashland Ore but he did not stop to see
her, as it was supposed he would As no
one knew of any domestic infelicity, his
actions warranted the fear that some evil
had befallen him.
The Elks. of which order he was a
member. began a diligent search for him.
and traced his baggage to Denver. If any
further information concerning the mis-
sing man was secured it was never made
public
In her complaint Mrs. Hulen does not
state where he resides. if she knows. and
the presumption is she does. She has rel
atives at Dixon. where she now resides.

Honest John Is Man Who Invented
New Style of Score
Board

Manager McClcskey of the st. Louis
Cardinals is the inventor and patentee
of the first practical electrical scoreboard.
There has been q good deal of talk late
ly. almost entirely in American league
circles. of adopting such a machine for
use in every park on the circuit. Mr.. Nc
Closkey rises to remark that he must first
be consulted, as he is the sole owner of
the device.
Not only is the full score by innings
kept in full view, but also the name of the
batsman. the number of balls and strikes
on him, the number of outs In the inning
and the total number of hits and runs
scored by the side at bat There is also
space for announcing the decision of the
umpire on ball plays. Thus the exact
status of the game at any moment is
plainly visible to the fans, who are also
not left in doubt as to the decisions on
balls. strikes and other plays. McClos-
keys board is operated from the press
box by the aid of a small electrical MA
chine. which resembles a typewriter in
general appearance. This machine is con-
nected with the scoreboard by wires run
ming through pipe laid under the field.
The power is furnished by storage bat
terry. The instant a decision is given by
the umpire the operator presses the re-
quired key and the proper word or num-
Der is flashed on the board. in plain view
of all. The cost of the apparatus is not
large. and can be met by the device of
revolving sheet for advertisements at the
top of the board.
This machine was invented by John Nc
ClOskey about two years ago. In March,
1906 he took out letters of copyright on
the design. About two months age he
wrote to Ban Johnson explaining his in
vention and advocating its adoption by
the American league. His letter was never
answered, and when he approached the
great Ban during the recent meeting in
New York to talk the matter over he was
not listened to. Mr.. McCioskey was very
angry at Johnsons discOurtesy, and he
makes the announcement that any club
installing an electric scoreboard must
come to terms with him. as he has the
original rights in the matter.
