SULLIVAN CHOSEN LEADER
OF CHICAGO WHITE SOx.
Popular Catcher of American League
Team Selected as Manager to
Succeed Jones.


Catcher William j, DFT-NTTlOWH as
Billy Sullivan. will command the
Chicago White Sox of the American
league. succeeding Fielder Jones, ac-
cording to an announcement made
the other day by Charles A. Comis-
key. owner of the club. The Official
notification Of the appointment was
no surprise to the catcher, because
he has been acting manager of the
Sox regular squad on the spring
training trip and knew that he would
succeed Fielder Jones if the latter
would not return to the team. Jones
wrote to President Comiskey a few
DAYS ago his final refusal to play ball
this wear.
Il thought that there might be a
chance for Jones to return to the
team said Comiskey, but when |
received his final word | notified Sui
livan that he would be manager this
year"
Sullivan Is a native OF Wisconsin
and his earthly career began in the
town of Oakland in that state on Feb.
LIST, 1878. His family moved to Fort
Atkinson, and while attending the
high school there Sully started his
development as a diamond star as a
member of the school nine. His de
sire was to shine as an inhelder, and
he played shortstop until an accident
left his team without a catcher one
dav. Without any previous expert
ence Sullivan was put in to catch, and
found 1t was his natural position.
His work behind the bal for that
high school team attracted the atten-
ton of the local town teams man
ager. and he was made its regular
catcher. Afterward he caught for the
independent team in E|dgeNater, Wis.
Up to 1897 Sullivan was unheard of
except in his W part OF Wisconsin.
but in that year Joe Cantillon, now
manager of the Washington team.
signed the youngster for the Dubuque
club. of which Joe then was manager.
Csntillon did not keep Sullivan long
for in the following year. 1898. he
was drafted to the Columbus club Of
the then Western league. and when
that franchise was transferred 10
Grand Rapids Sullivan Went along
with 1t. At the close of the following
year Sullivan was sold to the Boston
club OF the National league. lie
caught a few games there in The fan
OF 1899. and was with that team dur
ing 1900. When the wal broke out
between the National and American
leagues in 1901 Sullivan was one of
the first men Comiskey went after
He not only secured his services. but
won his loyalty and all offers, how
ever tempting, were turned down dur
ing the war period.
Since he became a major Lacquer
Sullivan has caught a total of S53
games and In the last nu seasons he
has caught SOS games. an average Of
more than loo a season. When he
became a member OF the Boston Ma

HE'S A PATRIARCH.
A. A. Walters Preparing to Celebrate
Another Birthday.

On next Tuesday, Feb. 10th, A A.
Walters will round out "A years of
a busy and useful life, and yet he
has never seen a sick day in all those
years, Notwithstanding daily toll has
been his portion and joy.
For alertness, vigOr, elastic step
and vivacity of spirit it would be diff
ficult to find his match among men
much younger in years, and for the
usual signs of old age, they are not
in evidence
Mr.. Walters was born in st. Paul
Mimi. in 1885, when there was no
city there, only an Indian trading vii
lage. In 1859 he went to Iowa and
remained in that state for 20 years,
going on from there to Wyoming and
later to Montana and Idaho where he
has lived for 81 years.
Twenty-seven years of his life were
spent in the railroad service, and for
the past two years he has been en-
gagged in the livery business in this
city.
1t will be seen from the above
that his life has not been wholly
spent on the frontier and brand new
frontier at that. In 1858, just be-
fore he left st. Paul, that place was
not as large as ShoshOne is now, and
Omaha, the year after. was only a
steamboat wood landing on the Mis-
souri, river.
1t will require busy imagination
to round out his career which he
seldom talks about, and to fill in the |
thinks of life structure that he is /
too busy to relate. Per- 1
maps an evenings campfire on the |
plains might touch his reminiscent .
mood and bring out the salient fea-
ures of his career, but the busy
world of every day finds him too in
crested in the things that be to af-
ord the time and circumstances nee
,ssary for a retrospective glance at
he past.

He paid for probably the very first

TERRoRs TO CROOKS.
Sheriff and His Deputies Catch All
Kinds of Bad 'Uns.

The people of Lincoln county have
good reason to congratulate them
selves on their selection of a sheriff
in the election last fall. The word
has been passed out from various
obscure sources, that under the new
regime it you'd be easy to violate
the law and get away with it; that
since Shoshone had so little police
protection, and the change of sher-
les it would be easier to do bad
things and make a getaway than it
ever was. This has been circulated
up and down the line, until it begins
to look as if the whole northwest
was sending their consignment of
vags and boes and gun men. They
looked for the easy picking which
they believed society owed them.
But somehow it didn't pan out.
Sheriff Wheeler, with his able de-
putty, Zug, and Jailor Crabtree, have
been doing a wholesale business with
the surprised stiffs. This week, the
net bag is six car robbers, with sew
eral hundred dollars worth of their
stolen plumber; two hold-ups, with
their plumber on their persons; and
a few other assorted crooks and
criminals and moral delinquents who
have guessed wrong what was going
to happen.
Lincoln county bids fair to send
as choice and large an assortment of
Jail birds to Boise as any county in
the state, this year, through the eff
efficient deputies.
The sheriff is making one of the
most comprehensive collections of
guns in the state. He has one huge
pocket A, weighing close to three
pounds weapon that would seem
suitable for elephant hunting if you
used it with reducted charge so as to
not blow the elephant clear off the
earth. There is one long barreled,
Colts Automatic and a whole tray
full of other meaner weapons. If
the present rate is maintained, there
will be enough guns by the close of
his term to stock all the gun stores
in the state. There arn't any knives, |
as yet, but the officers expect to gath
er in some of these, adm few sling /
shots and jimmies and other daed- |
ly weapons, before their term is
half out.

IRRIGATION BY PUMPING.
Koessler Brothers Say That Wind Pow
err VIII Do 1t ProfitabIy.

Roessler Brothers, of Shoshone
are authority for a statement that
there is enough wind in this Sec
ton OF the state to make a wind
mill fairly efficient for pumping pur.
poses. They have mills on their
places north of town, both operat-
ing pumps in deep wells, and with
conspicuous success. The well on
the upper farm is 915 feet deep, but
a 10-foot mill drives the pump SO
as to supply an adequate supply OF
water. 1t is necessary, however, to
reservoir the water, and reserve as
much as a weeks supply at time,
as there are a good many days, es-
pecially in the summer, when there
will not be enough wind to pump.
The Roesslers have well drilling
outfit, and have put down a number
of wells, which have proven good
producers when windmills are at
tached.
A. D. Silva, on the river west of
Shoshone, has a deep well, with
a gasoline engine for pumping pur-
poses. He has found it feasible to
pump with gasoline, but it is more
expensive than wind power, with the
engine in reserve in case of a calm.
While not even its worst enemy
can claim that this is a windy coun-
try, there is still enough air move
ment to make it apparently feast
bic to use air power for, farm pur-
poses. 1t is so inexpensive to in
stall the machines, and it costs alb
solutely nothing to operate, that It
is an ideal auxiliary power, even
if it cannot be depended on to sup
ply power all of the time With
gasoline for power costing close to
81 day, even to pump 100 days a
year would about pay for the mill
the first year, and the mill would
be left to pump for many years to
come.
Roessler Brothers have raised a
fine crop of strawberries from wind
mill irrigated land, showing that it
is not impracticable to do this ir-
rigation on "a commercial scale.
G. w. Stoner is planning to build
a residence this year, on his fine
lots west of c. F. Borden's home.
w. D. Vredenburg has bought the
two blocks east of the school house,
the lots formerly occupied by the
Jewish colony" The property is
very desirable for building pur-
poses.

GOOD SHEEP RANGE.

Since the storms of January the
woolgrowers of ShoshOne have been
trailing in their bands Of sheep for
feeding. The Goodings have been
feeding for some time and Ben Oar
rah ordered his focks brought in the
first OF the week and others are do
ing likewise. r. II. Gooding was
remarking the other day that when
his sheep were driven in he never
saw them looking better for the
season of the year than they were
right then. 1t seems that in spite
of a stormy winter the range has
been favorable the the sheep indus
try in this country at least.
