MATCH BASKET BALL WITH TUCSON COLLEGE Latter Team Vctor Last Year, Game Scheduled For Next
 Friday Night.

Lovers of the game of basket ball will have an opportunity to see a match game between the team rep resenting the local Y. M. c. A. and the University of Tucson Friday night of this week.
 Last season the two teams played three games, two at Tucson and one at Bisbee. In the first game at Tue son the local team was defeated by a score of 26 to 15. In the game on the local floor the home team won by score of 24 to g; in the third game at Tucson the local boys again met defeat by the decisive score of A to 26.
 The lineup of the local team has been considerably strengthened since last season and 1t is expected that a first class game will be played Fri day evening. The Tucson team is composed of seasoned players and those who comprise the local Y. NJ. C. A. have almost all seen service on fast teams.
 Aside from the games to be played with Tucson, before the close of the season, matches will be arranged with Douglas, and it is possible a tournament will be arranged to de velop material for the first team of association.

CLOTHES HAVE BEEN
 POSITIVELY IDENTIFIED
Shoes, Coat and Trousers Be- longing to Krutus-Be-
 lieyed He Was Killed.

It has BOW been established beyond reasonable doubt that the body found at the head of Babocomari Creek by the two cowboys a couple of weeks ago, was that of tue aged German harness maker, Herman hutus. who left this city on Septem- Der iA buggy with one Adam smith. intending to go on a prospect Ing trip tn the Huachuca Mountains. IL is believed that Smith murdered the old man to obtain $1100 which be had OR his person, and then made his way into Mexico.
 Yesterday Sheriff Jack White ar rived here and showed the shoes found oz the corpse to John Lisman, the load cobbler. who had repaired them the day before Krutus lett the city. The shoemaker identified the boots positively as those of the Ger man. The coat and trousers rouno oR the corpse were positively identi- hed by Marks Brothers & Britt at Lowell, as the same sold to Krutus.
 The officers are convinced that :he theory to the effect that Smith drove to the head of Babocomari Creek, killed and robbed his victim, throwing the body under a tree, and then drove back along the river as far as he thought it was safe to use |he vehicle on his way into Mexico is the correct one.

John Denny. Jr, aged twcnty-three
years. was found dead in a woods near
Upper Providence. Chester county.

point to his having been murdered. A
large hole had been torn in the lower
portion of his face by a charge Of
shot
Denny started from his home in this
place on Friday TO Sc hunting for
rabbits. lie carried a magazine gun
and plenty OF ammunition. ana was
seen late in the afternoon going to-
ward the woods where he was found.
Ho was then walking with g. tain man.
The suggestion that he was the vic
tim OF an accident or shot himself is
discounted by the fact that his gun
and ammunition and an of his vaiu-
ables had been taken. Beside the body
was found a dilapidated cap. His own
hat also lay nearby. Several shattered
twigs we're also picked up IN front of
the body. These bits of wood the au-
thoriues say show that the charge OF
shot came from some distance away
and not FROM Denny own gun.

4 CHURCH DESTROYED.

Alabama now comes 90 the front
with an outrage. This time the col
ored people have done absolutely
nothing to cause &C.. It is an attempt
to deny to colored people the right
90 work Their church and lodge
hall have been destroyed according
to the following report:
Tuscaloosa. Ala. oct. IA Ne
gro Baptist Church and lodge hall at
Spring Hill, Ala, were burned Fri
day night by unknewg persons. A
band of horsemen, alleged 10 have
been organized with the intention of
driving the Negroes out of the COM
munity is said TO have set FIRE 20 the
church and hall.
1T is reported that several Of the
Negroes have received anonymous
letters, telling them if they do not
leave the county they viii be killed
and that their houses have already
been fired into.
"The Negroes are badly frighten-
ed, and are hiding in the woods. be-
ing afraid 10 remain in their homes
at night. White farmers are doing
everything possible to protect the
Negroes
White farmers are to protect them.
This is a ray Of hope. These farm
ers find that the Negroes labor is
better and cheaper than that Of the
white men, who are attempting TO
drive them out. Some people will
argue that this constitutes a Negro
problem. We do not see it in that
light. 1t is a question OF the white
mans lawlessness and will be settled
in a short while II the same energy
and devotion displayed by Gov. Pat
terson OF Tennessee is brought into
action in Alabama.
Where human life. be it Negroes or
white mans. is insecure capital will
not find an abiding place. and where
capital will not abide. hard-times
will set up its throne without thought
OF molestation or annoyance.
