GRAFTON WANTS
RAWVA TEAMS
To Play Decoration Day Games
in the New Park
There.

George L. Hartley, manager of the
Fetterman Baseball Company, Is
making arrangements with the Fair
mont baseball team. to play the open
ing game at the opening OF the new
baseball park in Grafton.
Work has been progressing very
we'll on the new park and much
grading and leveling has been done.
A great amount Of the lumber Is all
ready on the grounds for the building
OF the high fence around the ground
and work was to have commenced on
the building of the fence today, but
owing to the very wet weather the
work of the carpenters was postpon-
ed.
When completed this park will be
one Of the best baseball grounds in
the state and about all the amuse-
ments in and aound Grafton will be
held there.
The park will be opend up May 80,
and 1t is the plan Of Mr.. Hartley o
secure the two games between Fair
mont and clarksburg here on that
day. The regular schedule for the
Pennsylvania-Wes Virginia league
calls for one game between Falrmont
and clarksburg in the morning at
Fairmont and Clarksburg in the ar
ternoop between the same teams at
Clarsburg.
II Is not likely, however, that the
Grafton men viii be gratifled in this
instance. Holiday games constitute
a big feature Of league baseball and
Clarkshurg fans are not putting lp
their hard earned money to give
Grafton league privileges. The juno
tlon town should get busy in the
spring and join a professional base
ball league.

WILL HOLD A MEETING

New York, Jan. 18.-It was learned late
tonight that conference of old-line DEM
ocrats will be held in this city next
Thursday to discuss and formulate a pro-
gram to be followed in case William ].
Bryan is again nominated for the presI-
dency Among the conferees. ii is said,
will be Governor Hoke Smith of Georgia;
Governor Claude A. Swinson of Virginia;
John McGraw, chairman of the Demo-
cratic state committee Of West Virginia;
Richard B. Olney of Massachusetts: d.
Cady Herrick, and other prominent DEM
OcratS.
The aim of those who are behind this
conference is to obtain the adoption N
the Democratic national convention,
which will meet in Denver, of a con-
sentative platform acceptable to the
business interests of the country. To
certain extent these men are reckon
ing on the choice by the Republicans
of a candidate dictated by President
Roosevelt, and so committed to a CON-
tinuation of his policies.
If the moving spirits in this confer
ence can have their way, there will be
adopted on Thursday, or at subsequent
meetings, resolutions pledging all the
conferees to work for a platform abb
solutely safe" and sane and a candi-
date who would stand on such a plat
form without reserve.

The case has now extended over period
of four years.
When this report was made to Judge

prlsed that after seventy-two hours Of
elaboration they were unable to bring
in a verdict.
1T reminds me-" said Judge Lee. "of
a story | once heard related by Judge
White He says that If a man throws
five skies in dice game, it is not sur
Prising. If he throws them three times
in succession, it is rather curious If he
throws them four times successfully, It
is a little remarkable. If he throws them
five times hand running, it is wonderful,
but if he throws then six times there Is
nothing either curious or remarkable or
wonderful about 1.-THE dice are loaded.

MISSING MAN TURNS
UP AFTER LONG YEARS

Fairfax, Mo-, Jan. 1S.-Jacob A. Funk,
a farmer, who mysteriously disappeared
fourteen years ago from his farm near
Skidmore, this county, and who had
been mourned as dead. returned here
yesterday alive and well. More than a
year after Funk disappeared the frag-
ments of a body found in Atchison
county, six miles from SkidmOre, were
apparently identified as his and buried.
August Ridge, a neighbOring farmer,
had been arrested at the time on sus-
picion that he had murdered the dead
man. At his preliminary hearing,
Ridge proved an alibi and was released.
During Funk's absenceshis wife remar-
ried. Funk declines to state where he
has been in the past fourteen years, but
he is said to have lived in Iowa.
