Especial to The Sentinel.l

Kansas City, Mo-, May 4.-What is
1t worth to DR.. Hyde to be defended

$4,000 for services in the defense.
The amount Cleary was to be paid, /

OVER A RANCH

In an effort to oust a man who has
possession of their ranch, Samuel b.
Sturtevant and Thomas Z. Dimes, the
former of this city and the latter of
Alamosa, brought suit in the Mesa
county district court and this morn
ing the case was called for trial.
AS jury was necessary in this
case Judge Shackleford yesterday af-
ternoon ordered Sheriff Schrader to
summon a special venire of fourteen
men.
Attorneys Samuel N. Wheeler and
Barnard Welsh represented the
plaintiffs, while Attorney Rozzelle
represented the defendant.
1t is alleged that j. w. Scroggins
and wife took possession of the ranch,
which is located near this city, about
April 0, and have refused to get off
the land. maintaining that they went
on II by an agreement to purchase.
Some time was used in securing
jury of six men, from the special
venire of fourteen men, to hear the
evidence.
The trial has occupied all of today.
The plaintiffs alleged that the de-
PENDANTS had forcibly and without
their consent taken possession of the
property.
The defendants maintained that
such was not he case; that they had
peaceably entered the property with
the consent of the plaintiffs and un-
der an agreement to nurchase the
same. That the defendants did en-
ter the property peaceabiv ~'as nrettv

mitted that sale of the property
had been practically consummated
when the defendants went on the
property. The sale afterwards. evil

not willing to give up possession.
The case has been hard-fought
one; and, while the defense made il
clear that the defendants had not
forcibly taken possession of the prop
erty, there seems to be but little
doubt that the defendants are not
the lawful owners of the property.
There were numerous arguments
and motions during the day; but the
case finally got to the jury at about
4 pm.

NILES HOLDS RUNNING
RECORD OF BASEBALL

y The Maps can claim at least one
championship Of the American league,
says the Cleveland Press. Harry Niles
Is the champion Splinter OF the major
leagues, having won the title In 1906
from Burch, the Cardinal outhelder,
by sprinting 100 yards in 10 l-5 sec
onds.
Niles has never been defeated and
he still wears a handsomely engraved
gold feb that was presented 10 him
by his ST. Louis friends for being the
fastest man in either league.
Niles twice challenged Ty Cobb or
100-yard race. Ty sidestepped.
What Niles can DO now Is another
matter.
Niles learned TO run before he play
ed professional baseball. He used TO
iun professionally in Michigan and
picked up quite bit OF change around
the county fairs.
my brother was the ideal sprint
err" said Harry. "He used TO run al
the University OF Wisconsin and there
never was a fellow who had better
prospects. But he quit the game ana
settled down as soon as he lei'

GREAT SLOW BALL

lett. a twobaser credited TO Milan be-
ing a short fly that Sam Crawford al
most nabbed Schaefer beat roller
that OI.eary did not hustle enough on
while Gessler burned one into left
and Street sent a liner over Bush's
head. Willett walked four. one pass
TO Gessler being more in the nature
OF discretion than lack of skill.
Washington filed the bases I'm the
sixth ON a hit by Schaefer and passes
TO Gessler and Mcbride, but Killifer
was easy for Davy Jones. Two other
threats came in the second and third.
In the second portion Gessler walked
and Mcbride sacrificed. Gessler got 20
third on an out and Henry walked.
Hank worked the delayed steal but
no damage happened.
In the thru, Milan made his lucky
two-baser and tried to negotiate he
hunt and run with Schaefer. but Yer
mann missed the ball and Milan died
at third. Then Schaefer hit safely,
local folks being oyerjoyed that Milan
had been swsDt from the bases.
In the 9inth inning Schmidt reach
ed first on Killifer's tumble, Willett
sacrificed hapdilY and ID, Jones poled
the fly safely TO left, scoring Schmidt.
IL was the best contest OF the sea

DAVY JONES MISSES
MAKING A DOUBLE

However. there is no way under TIC
sun one can give Jones anything but
a single. except out of pure charity.
II a man in the last-half of the ninth
inning with the score o TO 0 knocks
the ball over the fence he has a home
run, out he has TO touch all the bases
and the home plate.
Jones might just as well have had
two-Dagger, but he didn't go TO Sec
ond and he hasn't touched second yet.
Here's the question right here: II
you have to touch all the bases to get
a home run, isn't II just as reasonable
TO assume that you have TO touch
second base TO get two-bagger?
The Official rule book contains n:
definition OF two-base hit or a three
base hit, but one rule wisely instructs
scorers TO put them In the summary.

cost nobody anything save himself
With Schmidt of second, Davy hit
one over Schaefer's head In left field.
Schmidt scored easily while Jones
liked to first as fast as possible,
touched that base and made straight
line for the clubhouse.
Immediately there was some discus
sion as to how much of hit he had.
Some scorers were for giving him a
double because batsman who breal-s
up a game is entitled TO as many
baseg as the man scoring the winning
run Is from home plate, providips the
ball gets away from the fielder.
