Poor old Birmingham. She seems
to be sticking close to the position she
earned last year by right of occupa-
ton, but which she was fortunate
enough to escape before the close of
the season. The Coal Barons received
fin support as long as they put up any
sort of game, but the Birmingham
mer is not slow to resort to the knock
inghammer when their aggregation of
salary drawers forget what they are
paid to do, and will not support that
kind of ball. Dissension seems to have
entered the ranks of Vaughns players,
and unless he gets results, there may
be mighty changes in the lineup be-
fore the season closes.

MURDERER OF DRUMMY DIES

He Had shot the Detective
brings Death.

William Jones' the negro who murdered
Detective Drummy Of Omaha last Saturday
in South Omaha, died at about S:25 Thurs
day afternoon in his cell at the penitentiary
in Lincoln.
Prison Physician r. +. Giffen had made
an examination Of the prisoner but a little
while before and decided he was too weak
for the operation necessary to extract the
bullet lodged in his body by Captain Shields
OF the South Omaha police force or Detec-
tive NJ. j. Sullivan OF Omaha. The doctor
had left the prison and the nurse and hos
pltal steward were there when Jones indi-
Gated he wanted a drink of water. This
was given to him. The nurse and steward
were engaged in something else for about
five minutes. They then turned their at
tention toward the prisoner, who had said
nothing since getting the water. and found
him dead.
A post-mortem examination was made Of
Jones, and 1t was found he had been killed
by a thirty-eight caliber bullet The ball
passed through the left arm. entered the
chest between the fourth and fifth rios,
through the left lung. cutting the spinal
column at the junction of the fifth rib and
vertebrae, passed through the canal, cut
ting the spinal chord then to the right
through the back portion of the right lung,
and lodged in the angle of the fifth rib.
The examination was made by Prison
Physician r. L. Giffen and Drs. Irwin.

MAN AND THREE-T0ED HORSE
Men of Science DiGer over Existence
of Human Life During NeO-

SAN FRANCISCO. Feb. @.-Claiming
that man did not live in California at the
tins of the three-toed horse, and that the
claims of early human life in California,
made by Prof ]. D. Whitney, the eminent
anthropologist. are all wrong. DR.. w. j.
Sinclair has Just issued a bulletin from
the University of California that is ex-
pected to revolutionize modern anthropolog-
ical ideas. The bulletin covers the in
vestigations made by the university de-
partment of anthropology and issued under
the title, Recent Investigations Bearing
on the Question of the Occurrence OF
Neocene Man in the Auriferous Gravels Of
the Sierra Nevada
OF the human bones reported from the
auriferous gravels the best known is the
Calaveras skull, at present in the Peabody
museum at Harvard university. 1t is this
skull that forms a basis for Prof Whit
ney's deduction that Dr. Sinclair attacks.
His attack is based upon a critical ex-
animation of the auriferous gravels under
taken by the university department Of
anthropology some years ago and just
completed.

small band of brave soldiers. manfully
contendlng against fifty times their
number Of hostile Indians
The history Of Wyoming presents many
vicissltudes, occasions which have
tested the bravery of the stoutest
hearts, but there was no time In this
history more trying to the soldier than
the period covered by November and De-
cember, 1866, at Fort Pill Kearney. Here

suit Of the disobedience of orders by

Darlington not to go beyond Lodge Tran
ridge in pursuit OF the Indians. The
savages cunningly led the soldiers into
a trap and killed everyone OF them
To review the scenes OF this and SINH

eral and Mrs. Darlington will return as
honored guests Of the city of Sheridan
and the people of Wyoming An effort

TO communicate with the secretary Of

arrangements may be made to appro-
priatsly entertain them as honored guests
