FORMER RESIDENT DEAD.
II. r. Smith, Once Prominent Merchant
Here, Dies in Los Angeles.


Here, Dies in Los Angeles.
Word received in the city by DR.. and
Mrs. Kierulff, from Los Angeles. this

city OF Mr.. II. R. Smith, at one time
prominent merchant OF this city. Mr..
Smith died on Wednesday morning at

A. p. Strub Goes to Ottumwa to
Retain City's Place in the
Circuit
HAVE RAISED OVER $4,000
Plan is on Foot to Turn Over Assooi-
atoms Affairs to a Small Company
Of Men Who Will Guarantee Any
Possible Deficit Of the season-New
Officers Will Be Elected.

With enough money subscribed to
make reasonably sure the financing
of tho league base ball team, A. r.
Strub went to Ottumwa Monday night
to hold this citys franchise In the
Iowa State League. AS a result. Mar
shalltown will not drop out OF the CIR
cult. but will retain its membership,
altho the management Of the associa-
tion's affairs will probably change
hands as result Of movement which
Is now under way to see the team SAFE
~ thru the season.
A little over $1,000 has been raised by
subscriptions. With this money in
sight, and reasonable certainty that
more could be raised by future sub
scriptions and other means, the direc-
tors Monday afternoon determined to
cling to the franchise which the city
now holds.
Incidental to the scramble for money
that the soliciting committees have had,
a new plan for the financing OF the
team has been developed and will pro-
baby be closed by F. r. Click. His
purpose is to furnish sufficient finan-
cial backing for the team, that 1t may
not have to drop out during the play
ing season, because Of a lack of money
to carry 1t thru. 1t Is admitted that
the money already raised Is not suf-
ficient to meet the wants of the ASSOC
citation. Mr. Clicks plan Is that the
present association turn over to GER
tain group of men. the number to be
determined later, all the property, con-
tracts, etc, of the association and the
money subscribed, to the sum Of at
least $1,000, and to put on fair and
turn the net proceeds Of 1t over. In re-
turn the new owners guarantee to con-
tinue the base ball team thru the sea-
son, and guarantee to make up any
deficit needed over and above the
amount turned over to them by the
present association.
This new arrangement Of base ball
affairs simply means that in return
for the gift OF the franchise and prop
erty ard money of the present associa-
ton, the new owners will take the team
and own, manage and control it and
furnish whatever money is needed for
the rest of the season. Those familiar
with the business affairs of the associ-
alton are of the opinion that. at least
$500 In cash, over and above all re-
ceipts for the season, will be needed to
carry the team thru the year.
If the new Arrangement carries, as
there is every indication that it WILL
those who enter into the agreement to
furnish the guarantee, and those who
have already contributed, will vir-
tually be the MarshalltoNn Base
Ball association. They will meet soon
to elect officers and to make plans for
securing manager for next year.
The proposed plan is very similar to
the one carried out at the close Of the
second league season. when the 200 or
800 stockholders turned over the assoc
citation to smaller company of about
thirty, who financed II.
In the present proposition Mr.. Click
disclaims any other interest than that
Of an agent to bring the business az
fairs Of the association to focus.
