GETS A new PITCHER.
baltimore, Formerly With Toledo
Team Is Expected to Join Topeka.

Texas Bill baltimore, a south paw pitch
er of more than usual promise and ability,
may joint the Topeka team for the remain
der of the season. baltimore was purchaS-
ed from the Toledo team a few days ago
by Manager ChivingtOn of the Louisville
team. baltimore, however, was indignant
over his sale, and refused to report to
Colley that the pitcher could be used by
the locals for the remainder of the sea-
son. Cooley is now endeavoring to ar
range terms with him that will be salts
factory and which will enable the pitching
stan to be strengthened by valuable ad-
dition.
baltimore will be remembered as men,
Der of the Webb City team in 1906. He
Joined Webb City fresh from the brush.
and although he possessed lot of stuff.
Tom Hayden. then manager of the Webb
City team, managed to sell him to
Cleveland scout. He went to Cleveland
and worked a portion of the time in 1907,
afterwards being turned over to the To
ledO club. He was with the Maps again
last season. but didn't show much as
some of the other southpaws of La Joie's
squad and was sold outright TO Toledo.
Louisville wanted him early in the spring,
but Manager ChivingtOn concluded the
purchase of him only a week ago. Since
then he has refused to report to Louisville
under any consideration.
RhOdy Hendrix of the Topeka team has
been sold to the Burlington club of the
Central Association for the remainder of
the season. Cooley still has a string to
him and he will report here next spring.
He will leave Topeka tonight and will join
the Burlington team in Ottumwa tomOr-
row. Hendrix showed a lot of ability for
ton, and consequently vaIueless to the
TODeka team.

the total amount to him and after hav-
ing just been speaking about 40 cents
on the dollar, I told him by a slip Of
the tongue that had received $4,000.
He jumped up Immediately declaring
that he had caught me and that L had
received $4,000 more than 1 had re-
ported to the commissioners. 1t was
then that became angry, because l
considered the accusation rank one
and unjust to me. I told him what I
thought of him in all of the plainest
words in the English language that
had at my command and did not mince
words in any way. He left the Office
and had the warrant sworn out for my
arrest"
The county commissioners today re-
cefved a letter from Kelly & Kelly
stating the sale price of the stock, 100000
and sworn to-.
Also they received a letter of trans
initial of stocks sent by the Bank OF
Topeka to the National Bank of Com

bearing a protest clause which would
necesSitate immediate payment. This
leads the county clerk to believe the
Bank of To0eka had the money on
Rand by the 23d of June. though the
county was not credited until the 14th
day of July.
Why the money was withheld and rec
ords refused so long is a mystery to the
clerk and he says he intends to find

Strange signals are being received
by the North Side wireless station.
AS these signals come with a certain
regularity and system and can not
be traced to any instrument in the
country it is thought that the station
is either receiving signals from some
experimenter with an instrument
hitherto unknown or that the inhab-
itants of Mars are trying to COM

A small tree at 390S Jackson street
was uprooted about 9 o'clock this
morning in a peculiar manner. The
anchor of an airship owned by the
North Side Aerial Company ac-
cidentally slipped off of the side Of
the ship with the rope attached and
fell several hundred feet down until
it caught in the trees branches. The
ship was flying about 200 miles an
hour and the tree was jerked out of
the ground by the terrific strain. The
airship people hauled the tree to the
deck of the craft.

Tax Payers Liable to Pay for
Damage Suits.
If Melan Bridge Extension
Bonds Are Not Voted.
SAYS v. r. PARKHURST
Cost Might Exceed Flood Pro.
lection Measures.
L. s. DOlman, Ex-PrObate
Judge Is in Topeka.

IF the citizens of Topeka do not vote
the $4,000 bonds for the Iengthening OF
Melan bridge at the election which has
been called for August "a, they viii
be liable to pay as much money if not
more in damage suits which may be in
stftuted against the city by people
whose property has been ruined by tbs
floods which may result from the neg
lect,'' said V. R. Parkhurst, engineer
for the drainage board, this morning il
speaking of flood protection matters.
THE drainage board a legally or
ganized body, acting under its author
ity ~iven to it by the law. has ordered
the city to make the waterway neces-
sary to let the flood water pass Melan
bridge. The plan for doing this is to
add two seVenty-five foot spans to the
south end of Melan bridge.
IF this work is not done. by the time
of the high water the river is liable t.
break through the City park, go down
Crane street and from there to the
east side, and and do an enormous
amount of damage.
IF lawsuits are brought against tn .
city by the owners of the property
damaged for neglecting to provide for
the. necessary waterway referred to.
and judgments are rendered against
the city. I repeat, the taxpayers in the
city at large are liable to have to foot
the bill. The chances are that the as
gregate amount of money which may
have to be paid for these lawsuits. will
amount to much more than the cost OF
the flood Improvements mentioned.
Thus the voting of the bonds for
frightening Melan bridge is matter
of interest not only to the North side
people. but to all Topeka people.
I'VE do not wish to belong in the
class of Kansas City. Kansas. which
has spent many hundreds of dollars in
lawsuits. as a result of damage Wnlcr
was caused by neglect to take proper
flood protection measures, and only
about $3.50 for diking, etc"
