COLCHESTER
Early Morning Fire Destroys Mintz Building and Contents-Fall Term of School Opens.

At about 1.45 Wednesday morning Night Watchman Cavanaugh in the engine house of the branch railroad blew a fire alarm with engine whistle. It was found that fire, had broken out in the one-story building owned by H. Mintz and occupied by Friedman & Isador Mintz as variety and fruit stores and by a jeweler who lately moved in. The building being light and very dry, was soon a blazing mass. The fire company responded, but it was seen that there was no need of their services on the building, but they stood in readiness to protect the surround ing property if occasion required The building was known as the Marble Front and came near being destroyed at the time of the burning of the Rub Der company's plant. The building and contents were a total loss. as it is re- ported there was no insurance on either building or stock. Luckily there was not much wind blowing, as the large tenement house known as the six-chimney house was within thirty feet of the burning building. Men on the roof kept it wet down so that sparks had no effect. Friedman, who occupied one of the stores, slept in the building, gave the alarm and rush. ed back to try and save some of his stock, but the fire had gained such headway 1t was impossible.

The statement made at the regu- lar meeting of the Western town coun- ell that it would be more economical 70 have a town solicitor than pay reg uiation fees to a lawyer, and the in timation made by Councilman Burdick that he would make motion that the vote declaring that no town solicitor 1 be appointed be rescinded, and that a solicitor be elected provided Coun- cllman Langworthy was present at the meeting. has had the effect of bring ing to the fore local lawyers who would be willing to serve the town as legal adviser for the fixed salary of $600 year.
 Since the retirement of Everett A. kinglsey. the police committe has sought the counsel of Harry B. Agard and his bill for three months serv ice footed up $40.
 Mir. Agard is in line for the office of town solicitor. as he has been the only one to hold the place with the exception of the two years service of Mir. Kingsley. and the latter is willing to serve again.
 When the first meeting of the pres ent town council was held and be- fore it was known that no solicitor was to be named. it is said that Sam uel H. Davis was a leading candi- date and was urged for the place by reason of his experience in the law and order work in Massachusetts be- fore being admitted to practice at the Rhode Island bar. MT. Davis was formerly pastor of the Seventh day Baptist church in Westerly.
 Attorney Walter P. Dixon, who is the oldest lawyer in town, Is not averse to becoming solicitor. There are two young lawyers in Westerly, recently admitted to the bar, and either one could fill the bill satisfactorily. They are Charles J. Dutton, graduate of the Albany law school and who finished his studies in the office of Judge John w. Sweeney: and Clarence J. Roche, who studied law in Judge Sweeney's office and is now associated with the judge in the law business.

President Kinsella met McGraw in

noon. DAILY has worked in more

Sporting Tips

Kewanee is at home with Hannibal
and Jacksonville.
Keokuk looks good for two games
this afternoon. Prough and Bramble
will be on the mound.
Kent will work in one of the games
for Waterloo this afternoon and should
give the Indians a hard fight.
Umpire Justice has sent Hannibal
and .Keokuk back to tie by reversing
his decision in the Monday game pro
tested by Kewanee.
Mflsap was fined two VS. yesterday
and put out of the grounds. Milsap is
not field captain nor manager and had
no license to get his feet wet.
Keokuk goes to ottumwa Sunday
for series of three games and then
to Waterloo for three. This looks like
easy pickings and If the Indians don
gain a lead next week the pennant
will be hard fight.

Made Special Trip TO Hannibal Yes
terday and Investigated Game
Protested BY Con-
ners.
WAS M1sREPREsENTED
Facts Of the Case Not Given Correctly
by Umpire Gleason in His
Report Over Tele.
phone.

President Justice has reversed his
decision in the protested game of last
Monday at Hannibal, and the Cans are
given credit for victory in the sec
ond game. This puts Keokuk and Han
nibal back in tie for first place,
President Justice investigated the
case and found that Umpire Gleason
had made a jumbled report of 1t and
had misrepresented facts under the ex-
citement. Evans hit home run, but
thought the ball foul and returned to
the plate. Seeing what had happened
Prout rushed forward and turned him
in the direction Of first base and he
completed the circuit unassisted.
Speaking OF the presence of the presi-
dent in the city the Courier Post says:
President M. e. Justice, of the Cen
trail association arrived in the city
commenced hearing in the case Of
the protested Hannibal-Kewanee game
of last Monday. The time required
was short, when Mr. Justice gave out
the decision that he had been misin-
formed and that he would reverse his
| first decision giving the game to the
Hannibal team.
Hannibal has been agog for the past
/ few days with the idea that the game
was to be thrown out against the To-
Gals. 1t developed at the hearing this
morning that President Justice did not
wait for the full evidence in the case
but based his decision upon Corners
protest, which stated that Evans re
turned to the bench and was then &C
companied around the bases by the
players. This statement proved to be
false in every detail. However, Con
ners is noted for winning games in such
manner. One year in the Three-II
league he carried a tape line. around
the circuit measuring the distance
from the plate to the grand-stand ant
protesting games on that basis, bu
the president of the league was mex
!. to his chicanery and not one of then
was allowed.
From all the evidence taken In 1
seems that Corners coralled Gleason
and they both held a conversation
with Justice which left him with al
, entirely false view Of the game. Will
the people Of Hannibal were very in
dignant at Mr.. Justice 1t seems tina
Mr.. Justice based his decision on TN
first statement Of Umpire Gleason.
Mr. Justice, we believe is straigh
forward business sort of fellow an
that the mistake was caused not b
his fault of Judgment but by the e.
forts of Conpers and his inffuenc
i, over the umpire in the first CONVEX
sation over the telephone.

the directors stood back of Cook and
gave him their support and his resis-
nation this morning came to them
as surprise but he convinced them
that 1t would be best for all con-
cerned as he could not accomplish
results under existing conditions.
Cook is Quincy boy and this Is
perhaps the reason why he was
abused more than any other manager
would have been Cook knows the
game as well as the best and 20
worked hard. That he has the aoli.
fly, was shown conclusively during
tn first two months Of the season.
It was only during the past I'VE
weeks during which the journal
made an effort TO kill base ball IN
Quincy and to kill Cook as mana
ger in this city. that the team went
downward steadily.
Cook could not be seen resaiu'
ing the matter, but it is not hke.y
that he will remain on the team h's
absence will cripple the team mater
tally, for there is not second oase'
man in the league superior TO MN Nun
