CHAPTER XIV.
The Game is On.

Contrary to expectation, the case of
the State Of South Dakota against
Jesse Black was called soon after the
sitting of the court Monday afternoon.
No testimony was introduced, how
ever, until the following day. Inch

for fair Jury through that tense af-
ternoon. Merciless in shrewd exami-

Now you may tell the jury in VIII
words Williston told you about the
steer he saw"
This, of course, was objected to and
the objection was sustained by the
court, as Gordon knew it would be.
He only wanted the jury to remember
that Williston could have told dam
aging story had he been here, and also
to remember how mysteriously this
same Williston had disappeared. He
could not have Williston or Williston's
story. but he might keep an impress
sion ever before these IL men that
there was story-he knew it and
they knew it-a story of which some
crotchet of the law forbade the telling.

Court adjourned that evening with
the jury-box filled. The states friends
were feeling pretty good about it.
Langford made his way into the bar
where Gordon was standing apart. He
passed an arm aftectionately over his
friends shoulder
"You were inspired, Dick" he said.
Keep on the same as you have begun
and we shall have everything our own

dining-room where the little party us.

yet arrived. The landlady was in q
worried dispute with Red Sanderson

evidently cronies. They had their
eyes on two Of the three vacant places
at the table.
"But I tell you these places are
TAKEN" persisted the landlady, who
served as head-waitress, when such
services were necessary, which was
not often. Her patrons usually took
and held possession of things at their
own sweet will.
"You bet they are" chimed in Red,

HELD ON FORMER CHARGE
OF DISTURBING THE PEACE
Returns from San Francisco and Again
Threatens to Burn the Houses
of Those Who Testified
Against Him

B. F. Carroll of 1923 East Forty
eighth street was arrested last nlgnt
nv Patrolman Nokes on an old warrant
charging him with disturbing the
peace. In default of bail he was
locked up.
Five months ago Carroll was sued
for divorce by his wife, and as a num-
Der of neighbors testified in her be-
half Carroll became Jobsessed with the
idea that they were responsible for his
trouble.
He began drinking heavily, it is said.
and at times acted very queerly.
Finally he made threats that he would
burn the houses of the witnesses
AGAINST him in the divorce case, and a
warrant was issued for his arrest.
Before the officers could apprehend
him Carroll left for San Francisco and
remained away until a few days ago.
Yesterday he went back to the neigh
borhood in which his wife lives and
repeated his threats to burn several
houses.
THE police were informed that Car
roll had returned and Patrolman Nokes
was given the warrant for his arrest.

Pastime Athletic club he was chosen
as manager and captain, and to show
their friendship toward him a large

second baseman.

day night, and do not go away with
the idea, gentle reader, they will all
be there like the seals are on the OLD
Cliff House rocks on the San Fran
cisco bay.
Notwithstanding the various rumors
that have been sent out to the effect
that Stan Mitchell would not be back
in school again, STAINS dad stated last
night that Mitchell will be seen among
the students in the little red school
house on the "hill' during the latter
part of the season.
The Hoosiers baseball players, as
we'll as other messengers, will be the
guests of Manager Krausse through
the hospitality of James J. Jeffr1es
and Baron Long next Friday night
in the double-header which will be
pulled off on that night out Vernon
way.
In the first inning at Chutes park
yesterday Hildebrand, left fielder for
the Seals, drove a double to the score
board, but died before reaching third
base.
Williams, the first baseman of the
San Francisco club, tried to steal sec
ond, but Dad" the ground keeper,
was at his heels and forced him to
give up the idea.
Killer sent a hot liner to Pitcher
Hospe, who retired him at first in the
second act.
Teddely Easterly drove grounder
to center field fence in the second in
ming, scoring Delmas- and going to
third on the play.
Judge Smith tried the same thing as
did Easterly Tuesday and was benched
for disputing OPConnells decision. Dur
ing the excitement Ellis walked and
steals second, and to make the play
complete Oscar Jones hits Delmas in
the neck in the third inning.
In the fifth inning Walter Maggie
opened the inning by sending double
to left field, which, In the classic words
of the score board, was a peach.
Manager Bondie of the Athletics is
thinking of retiring from the amateur
ranks as manager Of that club to take
up the position of bar boy at the little
red lemonade stand just across the
way from the grounds, and no doubt
in the course of a few more months
will be a John D. Rockefeller or a
Mr.. Morgan.
From the crowds that go out to
Athletic park every Sunday to wit
ness the games played between the
different teams In the California league,
ii would not be very bad idea for
Promoter Bondie 70 make more room
by building another bleacher to handle
the attendance.
Manager Frank Benkert is thinking
of employing Umpire Taylor to act
as official indicator man on the South
Side Athletic diamond. Taylor halls
from the east and for a number of
wears coached one of the best high
school baseball teams of Des Moines.
| Frank Ford, the crack of the San
Pedro team, is surely making good on
the Harbor team, and in the two games
has made six hits.
