GAMES TOMORROW.
Cedar Rapids at Rock Island. (Dou-
Gle header beginning at 2:15).

Another sad story has to be told in
regard to the game at the Island City
bali park yesterday. The whole sad
ness came in one inning and that
round was the undoing of the champs,
although they made heroic efforts to
conquer fate. The Bunnies turned
four hits and an error in the second
inning into four scores and the Island
ers were unable to go them one better
in the succeeding innings, although
they nearly tied the score by chasing
three runs over the PAN Scott was
Off color and the Bunnies found his
meat after the first round. Four bin
giles, one of them for two sacks,
earned two OF the scores and the rest
were the result of Swalm's error on
Browns long fly. Al came up too far
on it and then failed to get back in
time and when he finally found it out
by the fence two runs had came over
the plat. Christy Wilson was called
upon to toss up the sphere in place
of Scott and while he held the Rab-
bits to single hit in the rest of the
game it was already lost. for the
champs could not tie up the score, al
though they drove twirler out of the
box in their attempts. Renzenbrink
started ON the slab for thee visitors
and his wildness in the fifth caused
him to take to the woods and gave
Radabaugh a chance to perform which
he did very successfully fer the re-
mainder of the game, ALLOWING but one
hit and no runs.
Open Up On Scott.
In the second Inning the visitors
opened up on Joe ,Scntt with a hit by
Mullen who was advanced a sack by
Simon's sacrifice. Laughlin hit safely
and drove Mullen to third and then
took second while Mullen was stopped
from crossing the pan. Then came
the disastrous error in the right gar
den, and the two men on base ar
ought to have been walking back to
the bench was prancing around CEN
ter station waiting for Spencer to hit,
which same happened. and Brownie
scored. Spencer reached second on
the throw to the plate and came in
when RenZenbrink banged out dou-
Bile to right field. Here Christy came
into prominence with his bewitching
smile hard at work and after that
there was nothing doing.
The change was at once apparent
and the champs went after the man
with the big name and in the third
inning a pair of hits and sacrifice
sent Boucher home. The new catcher
went to first on a pretty hit over
short, was sent TO second by Wilson
and scored on Murphy's bingle in left.
The longer Renzenbrink pitched the
easier he was to solve and in the fifth
inning Boucher started more trouble
for him with a base on balls. Wilson
received like courtesy and Murphy
banged out another hit that cored
Boucher. Christy was out trying to
pilfer third but Cook reached first on
McAndrews' error and Murphy turned
it into a score.

1907, near Masonville. The train
was stopped and the body at once
recognized as that of Thomas Hop
per, who was in the employ of the
Illinois Central as a track walker.
The coroner held an inquest, the
verdict being that the man had been
killed by passing train. The logical
conclusion at the time was that
Hopper had sat down on the track
early in the morning while discharg-
ing his duties and had fallen asleep.

Smith his quietus, The absence of
Senator Rives i'm Frankfort prevent
ed the sheriff getting the fiscal
courts quietus. Sheriff Smith has
his quietus from the State Auditor
and his attorneys say he has been
ready at any time to settle with the
fiscal court, of which the Judge
is himself a member, and whose
agent, Commissioner Rives, is re-
sponsible for the quietus not being
in the sheriff's possession. The
United States Fidelity and Guaranty
Company, of Baltimore, notified
Sheriff Smith several weeks ago that
before renewing his bond for the
present year they would require of
him a statement of his Office and his
indemnifying bond of $4,000. The
company says Mr.. Smith did not re-
ply to their communication.
Mr.. Smith says he wrote the COM
pany promptly that he was ready to
furnish the $4,000 bond and sup
posed the matter was satisfactory.
This letter the company claims not
to have received.

appointee, qualified with the same

Unparalleled AtroCity of Ow-
en- County Night
Riders.
RAID ON NEW LIBERTY.
Grand Jury Will Investigate
Most Fiendish of All
Outrages.

Frankfort, KY. March 13.-Cir-
cult Judge j. w. Cammack has en-
paneled special grand jury to in
vestigate the depredations commit
ted in Owen county by night riders.
1t has been confirmed by telephone
that the tobacco warehouses of John
CarveX, at New Liberty, and Dave
Smell, of near Owenton, were burned
to the ground. The former con-
tanned 10000 pounds of priced to-
bacco, and the latter $4,000 pounds
of loose product, all belonging to in
dependent buyers of Bqrley tobacco
in the State, and the Equity organi-
cation is very strong. The owners
of warehouses containing unpooled
tobacco are uneasy and have engag-
ed guards to protect them until the
excitement subsidies.
Smell and Garvey were well in
sured.
After having destroyed the prop
erty of Shell the riders started for
Garvey's place. They passed the
residence of Mrs. j. M. Edwards,
who was lying at the point of death.
The lights in the house evidently
were regarded as suspicious by the

Circuit Judge Enjoins the
County Judge From Re-
Moving Him.
SET FOR THURSDAY.
Losing Side Will Take the
Matter to the Court of
Appeals.

Circuit Judge Cook Thursday
morning granted temporary in
junction restraining County Judge
Prowse from removing Sheriff David
Smith and also enjoined Jno. M.
Renshaw from attempting to qualify
as sheriff. The case was set for
hearing next Thursday, and Mr..
Smith will retain the Office until that
time.
Judge Prowse's formal order of
removal Wednesday sets forth in the
official order the provisions of Ar
ticle 8, Chapter %, acts of 1906, and
of Section 8 of the same statute,
which he alleges were not complied
with by Mr.. Smith, as the grounds
for his action in declaring the office
vacant, and adds: Whereas it ap-
pearing to the satisfaction of the
court that David Smith, sheriff of
Christian county, Kentucky, has
failed and refused to enter into the
annual bonds for the faithful per-
Torrance of his duties in that said
Sheriff David Smith has not yet exc
cuted or offered to execute any of
the annual bonds required of him
for the year 1908, although the time
allowed him so to do by the afore-
said law has now long since passed,
and it further appearing that the
said David Smith as sheriff afore-
said has failed and refused and still
fails and refuses to produce quie-
tus by the Auditor of public accounts
of the State of Kentucky to this
court, all of which is and was re-
quired to be done by said David
Smith, sheriff, on or before the first
day of March, 1908. Therefore, in
view of the premises, and the court
being fully advised, doth order and
adjudge that the said Office of sher-
iff of Christian county, Kentucky,
be and the same is hereby declared
forfeited by the said David Smith,
and the said David Smith is hereby
removed from said Office and the
said office is hereby and now de-
clared vacant"
Mr.. Smiths attorneys say that his
reason for not making bond before
March l was the failure of Senator
Frank Rives, special commissioner
appointed by the fiscal court to make
a settlement with the sheriff's Office,
to perform his duty and give Mr..

part Of the night riders toward Mrs.

The aged woman died soon after,
the shock probably fastening her
end.
BULLETS FIRED AT DYING WOMAN.
The following is the story of DR..
George P0rdy, of New Liberty, who
was at the bedside Of Mrs. Mamie
Edwards when the night riders op-
ened fire:
Il had been summoned to the Ed
wards home and had arrived shortly
before the night riders passed the
place. All of Mrs. Edwards rela-
tives had been summoned, for it was
realized that her end was at hand.
While the woman was breathing her
last and while those gathered about
were bidding her farewell there was
a fusillade Of shots. Flying glass
fell in a shower on the deathbed and
several bullets narrowly missed the
dying woman. None Of the near
relatives left the scene, but others
rushed into the yard in time to see
the marauders riding hurriedly
away and heard them cursing and
laughing.
after this the riders proceeded
to New Liberty. They shot the
