The man was engaged. the head
gardener warning him that If she

also agree to give her weeks notice
before quitting. All this being ar.
ranged, she set him to work digging

didn't get on very well. At evening
she told him he'd better give it up.

"You pay me what you are allowed

He succeeded in talking her into the
scheme, though she couldn't see where
he would get help or make anything
for himself. He went to the village
that evening and the next morning
had two lusty fellows at work. He sa
in the grounds sketching, giving his
men occasional instructions.

at the picture he was making The

he struck several chords.
"This won't do" he said snappishly
1.-THE thing can't have been tuned in
years. These people can't expect you
to get on with tin pan. What's the
agents name"
Before she could stop him he had
rung up the agent on the telephone,
and she was Mortified to hear him say:
"Miss Kissock, the head gardener,
wants to know what you mean by
leaving the piano in such condition
She says if you don't have man here
to tune it right off she'll throw up her

He flung down the receiver and re-

"Who authorized you to say that?"
"If he doesn't have a tuner here by

She consented to let the matter rest,
and sure enough the next morning the
piano was tuned. Then the first assist

Finally the grounds were laid out
on the new plan. The men the assist
ant had hired kept at work and seemed
satisfied with their pay. How their
boss managed the finances to make
anything was mystery.
When the work was ready to turn
over to the agent the artist took his
traps and moved on. 1t seemed to the
girl that her world had moved on and
left her desolate. The agent sent word
that the owner had arrived and he
would bring him to inspect the
grounds. Miss Kissock dreaded lest hel
scheme should be disapproved. Doubt
less the globe trotter owner was used
to the beautiful landscape gardening
abroad, and her girlish effort would
seem botch to him. When the two
arrived she was in her room. She
hurried downstairs. There was tn,

DETROIT, Mich, June 4.-Hugh
Jennings has new one. The little
leader Of the Tigers, whose auburn
thatch is familiar on many dia-
monds, is as versatile as a black
face comedian doubling In brass.
He broke up a time-honored custom
by inventing new scheme to
catch a runner off base.
You know how the Spokane team
sets about to catch a runner be-
tween the bases? If a man is
caught off second, the pitcher, Sec
ond baseman, sh0rtstop, left fielder,
third baseman, pitcher and catcher
and sometimes the rest of the team,
gather around and by tossing the
ball back and forth try to retire
him. Sometimes he escapes and
reaches third or gets back to sec
ond. This is the stereotyped, copy
righted method. 1t Is the scheme
of the base ball standpatters.
But not for Jennings. Let a base
runner lead too far of second and
the shortstop and pitcher get the
Office to try for him. II they sue
coed In getting the ball between
second and the runner, the latter's
only hope is to head for third.
Naturally the third baseman hus
ties over to the bag. Also he makes
sundry and divers motions with his
hands to help the runner into a con
dition where he will believe the
shortstop is about to throw the
ball. Instead, the latter sets sal
for Mr.. Runner, without prelimi
naries. The runner, constantly ex
pecting the ball to be thrown tc
third, cannot do his best. because
he must be ready to stop and re
turn toward third at any moment
But the shortstop, unhindered by
any such thought. can run at full
speed, which he does.
About the time the runner real
ICES the ball will not be thrown, he
slides for the bag, only to be tagged
by the man behind. The first time
Detroit used this trick in public
the shortstop slid into third with
the runner, tagging him on the leg
In time to retire him. The play
made big hit with the fans.

District Court

District court convened at 10 o'clock
this morning with Judge Brown on the
bench.
Both sides answered ready in one of
the cases of the State VS.. Jesse Coats,
Ollie Tennille and Frank Walsh, charged
with stealing a mare and colt belonging
to Joe Hall of Mountain City, and the
work of selecting jury was begun.
Judge Perky of Idaho examined the
jurors for the defense and Assistant At
torney General Fowler did the work for
the prosecution. The jurors are being
critically examined by both sides as to
their knowledge of the crime charged,
their bias and prejudice and as to the
weight they would give circumstantial
evidence, etc.
1t appeared from the questions asked
that the defense would try to prove that
the offense charged, if committed at all,
was committed in Idaho. If this is
proven, the defendants cannot be con-
victed in this state.
At the noon recess, several jurors of
the first panel had not been examined.
The work of getting jury was CON
tinued at the afternoon session and the
indications were, when this report clos
ed, that the entire session would be tax
en- up in getting twelve good and true
men to try the case.

that there were not officers enough in
Elko to arrest him. Cotant took the

got away and ran down the alley and
Cotant shot into the air to stop him.
This only made the fellow run faster.
He went west to Third street and along
Third to Silver and up Silver to Fourth
street where Cotant again nailed him.
Another scuffie ensued and the tough
was finally knocked down. Cotant then
called for assistance and the tough was
landed in the old jail. He was fed

him bis supper he was gone. He had
kicked out the partition between the
