Fred Appleby, an English man, finished third in 3:H :05 3-5.

Te others who finished in order were; Mat Maloney. fourth; Simpson the Canadian Indian, fifth; and Alex Thibeau. the Chicago amateur, who turned profes- sional for this race. last The crowd poured into the track and. carried the winner away on their shoulders. The day was perfect for outdoor race The sun shone bright and the air was soft with mild breeze blowing. There was big crowd in the grandstand and bleachers.

DAUBERT WON'T REPORT.
Memphis Claims That Fritz Would Re-
 port Immediately.

Memphis, May 29.-Jake Daubert refuses to report to the tailend Memphii and Carey is now assured of a permanent position at first.
 Thus Atlanta fails to get another man whom Smith was very anxious to annex.
 Memphis is demanding the delivery of Pitcher Fritz, Coleman contendng the purchase was not on conditions of any nature. He states that Frank holding Fritz until Fraser reports is against con tract. He doesn't believe Fraser will re- port to Frank.
 Memphis has great hope of recovery of Savidge and Schwenck, neither of whom has reported
 Montgomery, it is said, is very anxious to acquire Shields.

Rockenfield was knocked out for a. few minutes in the seventh. weimer had sacrificed with Rohe on first and he and Rockenf1eld reached the bag aI- most at the same time, the New Orleans mans head hitting Rocky in the face and cutting his lip. Rockenfleld. as he fell, threw the ball into the diamond. but it did not roll far enough and Rohe went on to third.-Montgomery Advertiser
 Harry Bay is still out of the battle and mending but slowly. The Spider says his shattered rib is still giving him trouble and so he isn't certain just when he'll work back into harness. Bill is giv- ing him his time, but there's a chance that. he may be on deck again by the middle of next week.-Nashvflle Tennes- sean.
 The only weak points noticed about Memphis is their fielding, batting and pitching.-Nashville American.
 Out west Manager Mack tempted fate by sending Dygert in to pitch It is hard to judge at this distance, but from the way the other twirlers have been working it is hard to see why the Ath- letics' leader should fool with a spit-ball artist of such uncertain quality as Dy- gert when there was apparently no neces- sity to do so. Cleveland pounded by gerts curves for ten hits in the first five innings and then Vickers was sent in to twirl. 2Rube was touched up for four hits and two runs-Philadelphia Tel egraph

Walla Walla, Wash, Nov. 12.-
Barnes was hanged at $50 O'Clock
this morning tot II" .lnr Ter - Mrs
Anna Aldrich April 80, 1908.
He walked to the scaffold with
a nervous step and although he stun
bled twice and swayed while being
strapped, he needed no assistance.
Father Jones, his spiritual adviser,
accompanied him. The trap was
sprung simultaneously by five guards
and thirteen and a half minutes later
Barnes was pronounced dead.
About 500 people tried to gain ad-
mittance, but only newspaper men,
officers and clergymen were admitted
He murdered Mrs. Aldrich, who
was 20 years old, to gain possession
of her land He was twice tried for
the crime, the first jury disagreeing
1t was on April 80, 1908, that
Barnes enticed Mrs Aldrich to ac-
company him to a lonely spot in
Coppei canyon, where he beat out her
brains with a pick handle he had
purchased for the purpose.
Barnes was employed by Mrs. Aid
rich and reported to her that he
wanted to rent one of her places,
called the Keeney ranch, on Coppi
creek
Making these representations, he
induced the old lady to accompany
him in a buggy which he hired from
a livery stable i'm Waitsburg, to the
ranch i'm the lonely canyon. The
rive necessitated their going through
Dixie, and there Barnes bought the
pick handle, a11 whin n - .cruark-
ed when he was told it was slightly
worm-eaten, that il was good enough
for his purpose
When he reached the lonely spot in
the canyon the wheel tracks showed
he Itop,e! 90. 'cG .riy team Mrs
Aldrich was induced to get out of
the buggy. The ground showed
marks of struggle, and her hair
combs, purse and other articles were
strewn about the ground. After
Barnes had broken her skull in, lit
orally beating out her brains, he
trhew the body into hole caused by
the uprooting of a tree. Here it was
found four days afterward by a
searching party
Barnes was arrested and accused
of the crime. lie had been seen go
ing through tn canyon with Mrs AID
rich and returning afterward with

that he had rented her place and
that she had gone away, His stories
were conflicting and the evidence
