nounced that the Indians We're not on

club was to be sold, and equally peeved
at the story, which had gained some
credence here. that Frank Farrell,
president of the New York Americans,
was the clubs real owner.
Il am going to Montreal next week
with Secretary Tommy Martin to at
tend the Eastern League meeting, and
may take along my 80 shares of stock

lumbus, gave them the first tangible
information of use of mails by the
Black Hand band
Several months search for evidence
showed that most of the suspected
mail was emanating from Salvatore
Lima. in Marion. His arrest was eff
fected June last, and from the hun
n aIc Of Lott nd &c,
obtained in the raid of his house, the
inspectors established the connections
of the organization in other cities.
