ANITA VS. EXTRA
auto.

The prettiest game OF ball in
dulged in this season on the Ath-
letic Park of this city, was partici-
pated in Tuesday by the team from
our neighboring town Anita and
our own dear boys. The game star
under the scorehing rays of an Au-
gust sun and proudly did he shine
during the contest. For several in
ming 1ot a score was made on either
side but when our short over-threw
our first baseman a costly error
was made which our visitors soon
turned into victory and by another
error they secured two scores. This
made cur boys.play ball asit should
be played and from that time on
Extras atists welded the stick for
Extra. AT the end of the ninth inn
ing the score stood Anita Extra I
The game was notable for the alb.
sence of roofing, and especially
noticeable for the fairness of the
decisions of the Anita Umpire, Mr..
Worthing. Our boys must be con-
graduated for the excellency of the
ir work every day at some occupa-
ton other than playing ball they
are certainly putting up good
game. Our men on the salary list
are doing US excellent work too but
ofcourae from them we expect good
results.

FAMOUS EPlsTLEs WRITTEN "a
AGED MILLIONAIRE.
WORKED BY his NIECE
Evidence Of Bank Official In smell
Will Case Shows That Bloomington
Millionaire Gave Large sums to
'Favorite Letter Writer.

CLINTON, HIS, May 25.-Positive
Identification of the famous letters al
legged to have been written by Nav
bel Smell Mcnamara of Kansas City
the reputed grand niece of Colonel
Smell, was the feature Of today's pro
ceedings in the celebrated will case.
The writer never signed her real
name to these letters, but invariably
used a nom de plume such as .Your
Baby" or "Babe H." These letters
were not read but the hand writing
was shown to an expert witness. i. d.
Cheney, and he positively identified it
as that Of Mrs. Mcnamara. Cheney
also identified the endorsement on
each letter in the handwriting Of Col
onel Smell, to whom they were ad-
dressed, and who is said to have Civ
en- Maybel thousands Of dollars, farms
and town lots, houses and furniture
and trips to Europe.
Cheney is a cashier of a bank at
Fort Dodge, Iowa, where Colonel
Smell invested heavily in town lots
an OF which he gave a number to
Maybel Smell. The witness told of
correspondence with Maybel Smell,
relative to the sale Of some lots
which Colonel Smell had given to her.
The witness also identified a num-
Der Of letters which passed between
himself and Maybel. Letters re-
ceived by Colonel Shell declared by
the witness to be in the handwriting
OF Mrs. Mcnamara were also identi-
fed. Certain endorsements on let
ters made by Colonel Smell were iden-
titled also by the witness.

THE best yet" was one endorse
ment identified. This letter is one Of
a large collection shown to have been
received by Colonel Smell from May
bel, but which bore the signature
Babe H" &.4.s 8
These letters were of a highly sug-
gestive character and upon which an
effort vas made at the last trial to
secure their admittance as evidence.
Judge Cochran overruled the motion.
Just what Judge Philbrick will do
cannot be learned. He Will not pass
upon this question until the letters
are formally offered.
The witness identified a lot OF
checks which were written by May.
bel Smell, but which were signed by
Colonel Tom Smell. These checks
were made payable to Maybel Smell
and the aggregate was reported not
far from $1,000
Richard Smell, who is contesting
the will, identified certain letters as
those he had discovered, in the room
occupied by his father in the Smell
mansion in Bloomington, which was
known as "the den." The letters
were in q small brass-bound trunk
which he always kept locked and jeal-
ously guarded. Colonel Smell died in
this room where 1t was his custom to
sit for hours and read over the let
tiers and chuckle loudly over those
that pleased him.
