oId.rime Base Ball Artist.

George Van Haltren, for several
years the manager and captain OF
the Oakland Coast League team. was
handed his release the first Of the
week. Van Haltren has been play
ing ball for more than twenty-five
years and is one OF the best known
players In the business, and as far
as ability is concerned is a much
better player than some OF the men
that the Oakland team is carrying.
Van Haltren is IS years OF age.
This spring he was deposed as man.
ager of the team, Bill Reidy taking
his place. The change has not
seemed to affect the playing OF the
Oakland bunch. as they have been
just as consistent losers as they were
under RIP" Van Haltren's manage
ment.
For many years. Van Haltren play
ed center field on the New York
Giants. where his batting and base
running did much In keeping the
Giants at the top Of the per centage
column. Van also played with the
Chicago. Brooklyn. Baltimore and
Pittsburg National League teams.

after removing his clothes made a
dive off the bank. His companions
watched him as he struck out toward

mented on the fact that he was a
good swimmer. As he made the
turn TO come back, his companions
were Mortified to see him throw up
his hands. make faint cry, and dis
appear beneath the surface Of the
water. They say that he did not
come to the surface again and as
none OF them were able to swim and
could not find rope or stick OF
wood to throw TO him. they were un.
able to render any assistance They
telephoned to La Junta, and several
parties left at once for the scene OF
the drowning. After several unsuc-
cessful attempts had been made TO

SPITE FENCE IS FINISHED
Jersey Man Puts His New One Up
Very substantislly-May Be
Dynamited.

Glen Ridge, y. AT cost of $3.50
the reconstructed spite fence on the
property OF Thomas Dryer, in Ridge
wood avenue, was completed and. ac-
cording to the builder, James Kers,
nothing but a tornado or earthquake
will move it. The fence is % feet high
and is supported by seven large posts
that are set six feet in the ground
and imbedded in cement Twenty-one
bags of cement were used.
The original fence, which had been
standing about year, was partially
destroyed by the wind recently, and
when Mr.. Dwyer had 1t all taken down
the people near were greatly pleased
But the work on a new fence was
started the next day. and the indigna-
ton Of the people grew as the fence
did. There is talk Of dynamiting the
thing. but II is believed TO be only talk
An effort TO compel Mr.. Dwyer to re-
move the fence by court proceedings
has been begun.
The fence was erected by Mr.. Dryer
on account of a dispute about property
with Mrs. Frances Spowers, who owns
the land adjoining.
