STICkNEY Will
ARRIVE TONIGHT
PIayer-Manager of Hattiesburg Ball
Team, Accompanied by Players,
Will Soon be on the Spot.

President Milette, of the local base
ball association, has received a tele-
gram from Link Stickney, who has
been selected player-manager of the
local team, advising that he will
reach the city tonight and will be
ready to take charge of local affairs
tomorrow.
Manager Stickney will bring along
with him two or three players whom
he has selected at Montgomery, and
who have been accepted by the local
association on Stickney's recommen-
dation. In addition to the six players
already secured, mention of whom has
already been made, two more men
were signed yesterday, and the team
is rapidly taking shape.
The grading work on the grounds
at Hamper Park was commenced this
morning and will be rushed through
as rapidly as possible. A representa-
tive Of the Spaldings was in Hatties-
burg yesterday, and from samples
which he had uniforms for the Hat
tiesburg team were selected and an
order for them placed with that con-
cern.
1t is believed that the team will be
gotten together so that practice work
may be begun within the course of a
comparatively few days, and enthu-
siasm on the subject of baseball is
increasing daily.
The prize offered for a name for the
local team should not be forgotten
Already several suggestions have been
made, but it is desirable that as many
as feel so inclined enter this contest
and suggest a name for the team. The
prize, which is season ticket to the
park, is worth working for and will
undoubtedly be captured by some one.

Mate-Szalka, Germany, March %
Two hundred and fifty people were
killed and many others injured in
the village of Oekoeriten, when fire
broke out in a hotel where a ball was
being held
A coach house connected with the
hotel had been fitted as a ball room
and last night was crowded with sew
eral hundred guests when the fire
started. The flames were first no.
ticed when a woman's dress was seen
to be ablaze A moment later the
gowns of several other women were
burning.
Panic followed and in a mad rush
to the exits many persons fell and
were trodden to death.
AS if to make matters worse, the
roof caved in before the hall could
be cleared. Many persons and those
who because of the rush at the doors
had been prevented from escaping,
were buried with the dead in the
ruins.

TWO VERY BOLD
tigers CAUGHT
Deputy Sheriff McGiIvray Lands Two
Important Offenders Behind
Bars of County Jail.

AS the result of untiring work and
much maneuvering on the part of
Deputy Sheriff Dan McGilvray, two
more bold, bad tigers of the blind
variety were locked up yesterday af-
ternoon in the county Jail and will
doubtless be transferred shortly to
the county farm, where they will
serve for several months.
VIM. Byrd and John Green were
the parties who were so unfortunate
as to be caught. and the former finds
himself confronted with a fine of
$500 together with a Jail sentence of
six months, while the latter is re-
quired to pay $500 and serve the
county for period of $50 days.
Deputy McGilvray has had his eye
on these two offenders for several
weeks, and when this officer becomes
confident that liquor is being sold in
violation of the law, he pretty nearly
always succeeds in landing the Of
fender soon or late.
These two negroes were caught
dead to rights" and in the trial yes
terday afternoon before Justice Wall
the evidence was so direct that con-
viction in each instance necessarily
resulted. Officer McGilvray has a
peculiar adherence for the blind IT,
GER" and has done more, perhaps,
to break up the traffic than any one
individual in South Mississippi.

Regular Officer.

The annual inspection of the local
military company was held yesterday
afternoon in the court yard, the ex-
animation being conducted by Lieut.

liminary test by Captain Beaumont,
after which the company was turned
over to the inspecting officers for ex.

The inspection was conducted under
regular United States army rules and
regulations, and was the most severe
test to which the local company has
ever been required to submit The
company was lined up, and, one by
one the arms of each man was ex-
amined critically in every detail, and
If anything was found amiss with the
way in which they had been kept, a
rebuke was promptly administered and
instructions given for the correction
of the fault.
AS rule, the arms and accoutre-

be in fine shape, and, with the instruc-
