Betting ON Game stopped.

CENTRAL CITY, Neb.. July 12.-(Spe-
cial.)-That there is an anti-betting law on
the statutes was brought forcibly to the
minds of local sports today when County
Attorney e. f. Ross ard Sheriff Milt Her
interposed and stopped a heavy betting
coup which was being engineered on the
ball game between the oxford Indians and
the Central City team on the local dil-
mond Saturday afternoon. At the conclu-
clusion Of the game between the same
teams yesterda yafternoon, the Indians
winning, there was considerable wrangling
between the adheTents of the contending
teams, and as a result several substantial
bets were registered. This occasloned con-
siderable talk about the town and this
morning several other large bets were
made. When the excitement was at its
height and there was talk that tho Indians
had sent to Grand Island and Kearney for
some crack players to strengthen their
lineup, County Attorney Ross and Sheriff
nouncemeut that there was a statute
against betting and that they proposed TO
see It enforced. They had the names of
several who had put up big chunks Of
money on the result of the game and
notified them all that unless they pulled
down their money at once the big grab
hook of the law would be fastened 20 them.
This put an end to the betting, and so far
as is known all the bets which had been
were recalled and no new ones
made. The game resulted in a victory for
the Indians, the score standing 4 10 g.
Hockenberry pitched for the redskins and
Alexander was on the slab for the locals.

Jmith and Jones engaged in an argu-
ment at the Smith home about 1880 yes
terday morning. which ended in Smith
being shot twice through the mouth.
Hearing the Shots Green Smith. son Of
the murder man. rushed towards the
house just as Jones was escaping,
whats the troubIeg' asked Smith.
Il just killed your father" replied
Jones.
Grabbing the smoking revolver that was
still in Jones hand. young Smith struck
the murderer in the face with the butt
end Of the gun. Jones made movement
as if reaching for another pistol. whereup-
on Smith entered the house, picked up a
qI.9gua ard fred nhouf $50 shot taking
effect in Jones leg near the hip.
Jones is seriously but not dangerously
wounded and refuses to make any state
ment which will throw any light on the
tragedy
Jones was arrested by Officer Thayer

the kitchen iijor, the blood still oozing
from his mouth.
Jones is 35 years of age.
When arrested Jones was lying on the

the fatal shots. Both men are connected
with colored secret societies.
