CASE Hinges ON
TROUSER BUTTONS
p. M. TITUS RECOGNIZES TRous-
Err TRIMMING, WITH MONEY
THAT WAS TAKEN FROM HIM
AND FOUND IN POSSESSION OF
MYERS.

If you're going to hold up anyone,
don't take his loose pantaloon but
tons. That is the moral that might
be deducted from the case on trial in
the district court this morning, in
which Frank Myers is charged with
robbery. 1t happens that facts in this
case hinges on che one point-the but
ton, which is held by Clerk E. C..
Gearey as the most important, and at
the same time insignificant exhibit
that was ever fl in is office.
According to p. NJ. Titus. the owner
of the button, and the complaining
witness in the case, he found Myers
walking the streets one night last
summer. The latter could find no
room and Titus. so he claims be-
friended the man whom he had known
for some time. They went to Titus
room at the Arlington hotel and after
INDUCING In liquid refreshments, re-
tired.
When Titus awolIe Sunday morning,
he discovered that close to $50 had
been taken from his pocket He look
ed through Myers clothes and found
some change-and the button. There
was no mistake about it, that money
was his. He was positive.
Titus was the only witness examin-
ed this morning. He was being cross
examined when adjournment was
taken for the noon recess. Myers
case is being conducted by Atty. T. VI.
McEnroe while States Atty. A. w.
Fowler is prosecuting.

new Dean APPOINTED
Rev. c. Dewitt Bowling of Davenport,
la, Has Been Called to Gethse-
name Cathedral.

Rev. G. Dewitt Bowling, rector of
Trinity church, Davenport, Ia, will be
the next dean of Gethsemane cathe-
dral of this city. He will probably as
sumo his duties here on Dec. IL.
Several days ago a call was sent to
President Bowling by the Rt. Rev.
Cameron Mann, bishop of North Da-
kota This call was approved at u
meeting of the cathedral chapter held
at the bishops residence last night.
The new dean comes to Fargo as
successor to Dean Fl. l.. Burleson, who
resigned last May, the cathedral hav-
ing been without a dean since that
time. For the past six years Presi
dent Bowling has been rector Of
Trinity church. Prior to that time he
was in Hot Springs, Ark, as rector Of
one of the churches. He is a graduate

it. He said that 1t was the best city

Y. M. c. A. association I haze nothing
to say, because as yet ] do not know
anything about it, except generalities
which I learned from General Secre-
tary Wiley of Minneapolis, with whom
stopped a day before coming out
here. Harry Bascom, graduate Of
Fargo college, now in the east, Is a
personal friend of mine and he told
me what a good town this is.
For the past year Mr.. Wolf has been
general secretary OF the Y. M. c. A.
at Burnham, Pa. He has been in asso-
citation work for seven years and has
wide experience which will make him
a valuable general secretary for the
Fargo association. For one year he
was social secretary for one Of the Chi
cago associations, has been general
secretary of the Lake Geneva city asso-
citation and was one of the two first
Y. M. c. A. secretaries in the canal
zone of Panama. The other first sec
rotary there was J. M. Sickle, now of
Baltimore. General Secretary Wolf
has many interekt ting things to tell Of
the association work in the canal
zone.

ton over the arrival OF Mr.. Wolf Since
the resignation Of General Secretary
Chas ]. Allen. move made necessary
because of i'll health, the burden OF
running Fargo's large association has
devolved upon the other members Of
the force making the work hard and
not as satisfactory as they would have
had it. Consequently when the new
head of the institution put in his APP
pearance a day earlier than was ex-
pected they were not only greatly sur
prised but vastly pleased and the well
come he was given fully bore out his
knowledge of the grea. VESTS people.
Mrs. Wolf will arrive in Fargo in
about thirty days. She is now visit
ing with relatives in Illinois and Mis-
souri, until Mr.. Wolf gets things ar
ranged for her reception.
Considering the splendid qualifica-
tons of Mr.. Wolf and his delight at
being once more IN the west it is easy
to see that the directors OF the Fargo
association have made good choice
to fill the vacancy which Mr.. Allen
filled with such notable results for the
past years 1t is possible that some
arrangements will be made to give the
people of the city, interested in the
work of the Y. M. G. A., chance of
meeting Mr. Wolf, and making his ac-
quaintance.

HAS GOOD REASON
TO FEAR LIGHTNING

The departure OF Frank Andrada called
to mind how frightened Andy was when
he first saw lightning, says the Cleveland
Leader. Down in New Orleans it thun-
dered and flashed like 1t does in tho
north. out in California they have only
heat lightning. and that was all Andy
had seen until a few days ago
|. Bill Goode is one man who is fright
ened when on the bail field during a
thundershower. Bill doesn't lack courage
anyhere. but after the experience he had
along this line he cannot be blamed for
being a little shy.
Il was with Johnstown in 1894 when
one OF our players was killed by bolt of
lightning at McKeesport. Pa. Goode
says. Il never will forget that day
can still see that bolt OF lightning com
ing out of an almost clear sky. 1t was
as horrible spectacle as man could
imagine.
The little storm that caused the ia
talty came up suddenly. l was batting to
the intield at the time. 1t just sprinkled
to stop the practice.
Charles Jefries in center field ran
in for a short fly ball and caught il back
of second base. He Strengthened up and
made the throw in, and just as he let the
ball go. bolt OF lightning jumped out
of the sky, zigZagsed around and struck
him on the side of the head. He threw up
his arms, turned around and fell to the
ground.
Everybody on the field was more or
less shocked. The shortstop and second
baseman were Knocked down and | felt a
pain as though some one had hit me in
the back of the leg with bat Ed Muir
ply, who was at first base told me after
ward he was not looking at Jeffries at the
time, but turned around to see who hit
him in the leg.
The accident came SO suddenly that
every one was dumb About 5000 spec
tators We're in the stands. but they were
so frightened they did not even groan. 1t
seemed that j recovered as soon as any
one. | ran out to where Jeffries lay and
turned him over. His tongue was out and
there was hole in the side of his head.
The skull was split as though with an AK.
He seemed dead and in few moments a
doctor came out of the crowd and said
he had been killed.
Il have often wondered why Ii was that
bolt of lightning struck him. The storm
was slight and after that one flash the
clouds all went over. 1t was the most
horrible spectacle / ever expect to see,
and every time there is a thunderstorm
I can see the expression on that poor fel-
lows face as plainly as though the accl-
dent were yesterday.

MAPS DO QUEER
STUNTS AT BAT

Ball PLAYERS, like every one else, nave
their peculiarities says the Cleveland
Press. Did you ever notice how the
Maps stand when they come to bat? Not
a man but has some little trick that
would make him known TO the fans even
though they could not see his features.
Lajoie draws a line between himself
and the plate. Then IL he misses a
couple of pitched balls he whangs the
front of the plate vigorously with his
bat and points the big end of the club
at the pitcher.
George stovall always straddes his
legs apart. bitches up his belt. puils
down the peak of his cap and gives his
pants another hitch. The less success
he has i'll batting the more frequent

he carefully puts one foot well front and
one we'll back. Then lie stands with legs
apart and holds his bat straight across
the plate. When he swings at the ball
his whole body moves. but his feet re-
main still.
Jay Clarke always hustles to bat He
hits the plate. but not the same way
Lajoie does. He taps it with little nerv-
ball or two he waves his bat in front
Of the catcher in little circle. and hops
around on one foot
Big Bill'' Hinchman walks to bat witt
much dignity Bill holds his bat on MS
shoulder. and makes no preliminary
movements. When a ball comes along
that he thinks he can hit he swings
and if lie misses he swings at the next
one. Bill has no characteristic attitudes.
Josh Clarke and Bill Goode stand very
much alike. Josh has the plate-hitting
habit sometimes, but Goode does nothing
save try to hit. Bristol Lord pulls his
cap down as though trying to hide his
ears when he bats.
All the rest of the squad stand at
the plate and try TO hit. Harry Bay
when he was with Cleveland was the
fussiest man in the league. Bay would
expend ten tons OF energy on his cap and
trousers and in preliminary swings. He
had them all beaten for being the busy
bee.
