THE UMPIRE's LAMENT.

BY way of consolation, the follow
ing has been appropriated, adapted
and respectfully dedicated to F.. w.
An umpire of the Steptoe league lay
dying on the hay;
Above him bent a bosom friend to
hear what he might say;
And as he took his comrades hand,
he said:
Twill o o be Ger
I'll w call a ball or strike or fol-
tip any more.
But take a message for me, pal, back
to the old gang there.
And tell them honestly l always tried
to treat them square,;
Then break the news to all the
friends and relatives of mine
You'll find them all at Ely-fair Ely
down the line.
Tell my folks and my companions
have umpired my final game,
| have made my last decision and
die unknown to fame;
And say l died just like my father
taught me how to die,
When he was umping and some
Crouch would shosh him in the
eye!
And when he died, OF what he left
they let me take my choice
OF all his goods and chattels-I took
nothing but his voice;
And all the years I've used it it has
doomed out strong and fine,
Just like the pater's used to boon
at Ely down --e line!
I'll never hear the rooters roas
where am going at
Each time ! call a third strike o,
some idol at the bat;
They'll heave no bottles at me whe,
the home boys lose the day"
His friend bent closer, for the vote;
was faint and far away.
The dying. Jump, by Torce of will, thel
gave a final shout:
NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. 'riesare" blu
here his wind gave out.
The butt of fandom's jeers lay dead
The soft moo rose to shine
Just as it shown on Ely-fair Ell.

before Judge Cartwright to collect
the $16 due on the note.
Claude Bowman, a witness for the
prosecution, stated on the witness
stand yesterday afternoon that Rich
ards had given testimony in the civil
action in which he was defendant to
the effect that he had bought two
tickets at Cobre from the ticket
agent. His evidence was corroborated
by the testimony of City Attorney
Zurich.
Judge A. J.. Cartwright and At
torney G. F. Putnam were called as
witnesses in behalf of the State,
and stated they were not positive
whether Richards had said he Sc
cured the two railroad tickets from
the agent or from an agent.
John w. Buren,, ticket agent at
Cobre testified that no tickets had
been issued out of his Office on
December 26, 1908, the date on
which Bowman and his friend had
purchased the two tickets from
Richards. r s. Durkee, auditor for
the Nevada Northen railroad, gave
testimony of a similar nature.
Attorney Eddy has announced that
he will make an effort to have Rich
ards released on habeas corpus pro-
ceedings providing he cannot secure

Tells the Voters How He VIII Act If
Elected Senator.
Edward X. Mills, who is candidate
for the republican nomination for
state senator, has issued The following
statement:
Morristown, ~ J., Sept. %, 1909.
EDITOR CHRONICLE -
Dear Sir:-As one of the Republi-
can candidates for the nomination of
Senator / have been asked to make a
statement.
At the time of announcing myself
as candidate l stated that l had
mado no pledges to anyone and that 1
would make none, except that If elect
ed would give my time and whatev-
er ability | possessed to the careful
performance of the duties of the office
Of Senator from Morris County, and
that | would give equal consideration
to all my constituents and would do
only what l believed would be for the
best interests of the County and State.
/ believed at that time that this was
what the great majority of the people
wanted above all things, and l am
still of the same belief. l take this
opportunity of again making the above
pledge.
Much has been said by few exclt-
ed individuals about deals with the
Democrats and Democrats voting in
the Republican boxes at the primar-
les.
know of no deal and feel certain
that none has been made and | am
confident that the vast majority of the
Democrats of the county would never
Illegally vote IN the manner charged.
am a Republican and am can
didate for nomination on the Repub-
lican ticket and believe l am going
to be nominated by the Republicans
of Morris County If l cannot be
nominated by those entitled to vote
IN the Republican ballot boxes l do
not wish the nomination. / believe
that the election officers in the va
rious voting districts of the county
will do their duty and see to it that
no one be allowed to vote improperly
in the Republican boxes. earnestly
requst them to see that the law is
obeyed. This request is made in all
seriousness and urge that it be com
piled with.
During the past two months have
endeavored to see and talk with as
many Republicans as possible and
have been in every election district
in the county. My only regret is that
have been unable to see all of the
voters.
If the people of Morris County wish
me to be their representative / pledge
myself to do my best.
Very truly yours,
EDWARD X. MILLS.
