DR. Shortlidge said he knew the

LANCASTER MAY
DROP BASEBALL
Another Tri-State Franchise
is Likely to be for Sale
Next Year

If all the cities in the Tri-State cir
cult who are threatening TO abandon
league ball carry out their intentions
there will be bargain sale of fran
chises next spring A writer in the
Lancaster Intelligencer declares that
that town has had enough baseball for
a few years and predicts that the fran
chise will be sold. He says:
THE way things look now it will
be some years before Lancaster will
again see professional ball. 1t has
been shown for several years past that
the town will not support a club,
whether it be good or bad. There are
a certain number of sports in this
town who are good and can be relied
upon, but there is not enough of them
to support ball team. The town
needs a rest from baseball, and it is
likely to get It now. The men, who
had the team in charge this year, have
experienced many disappointments
during the season, and the worst was
the towns lack of appreciation. They
lost over $4,000. but they went south
and dug up the money so that every
man was paid all that was owing him.
The club owners made no fuss about
it, but paid up like the good true
sports they have shown themselves TO
be. They knew for some time past
what they might expect, so that the
deficiency caused no surprise, and
they were ready and willing to take
their medicine. They still have the
franchise, whatever that amounts to,
and it will either be sold to some other
town or there will be a vacancy in the
league next year. Many people think
that this feeling will die out, and that
there will be a team here next year,
even if the present owners are not in
it, That may be, but it is not at all
likely. Lancaster has had enough Of
baseball for a while and it would be
well TO give it a rest"

how long he would be as he might

Mr.. Baynard expressed the opin-
ion that he could not see why the
public should fell exercised over the
matter
DR.. Shortlidge asked the judgment
of the members of the board as to
whether he had taken the proper

FIRE FIEND AT WORK.
Diabolical Attempt to Destroy Home
of William Cawker.

The lives of one woman and two baby
children were endangered last night
about IL o'clock when an unknown fire
f1end" soaked a broom and a rag with
coal oil and after lighting them placed
them at the rear of the home of Will
liam Cawker, 416 East Ninth street.
The fire was discovered a few min
utes afterward by Mrs. Cawker, who
woke up and saw the reflection of the
flames through the bedroom window.
She ran from the house at once and
grabbing the flaming broom from the
woodwork of the house she saved the
structure. A few buckets of water and
the fire was out.
1t was probably due to the fact that
Mrs. Cawker was the wife of a fireman
and had been trained to know the smell
of pine smoke, that saved the lives of
those within the house. She awoke and
after seeing the reflection Of the flames
smelled the smoke OF the burning pine
and sprang up to investigate at once.
William Cawker, the husband Of Mrs.
Cawker, was on duty at the headquar-
ters fire station when the burning
broom was endangering the lives of
his wife and little ones. Cawker is
driver of the steamer No. and was
sleeping in the f1remen's headquarters.
After his wife had extinguished the
flames in true fireman fashion she
called up her husband by telephone and
he was relieved at once. Cawker does
not know who would perform such a
trick and can recall no personal enc
mics who would.
He said this afternoon that he does
would attempt such a deed. Cawkcr
has been painting his home at odd
times for the last week and with the

especially indammable.

Two razors and an old case knife

that this about completes the aram-

other prisoners to mutiny and riot, at
times, spent Monday in the dungeon

is now back among his comrades. be-
having himself and telling of how I'M
pleasant 1t is to visit the dark hole.
There seems to be a disposition on part
Of the unruly prisoners to behave and
discipline is restored.
DOC" Manson, one of the North
side hog thieves had one OF the razors.
He was accused of it and denied it.,
but a little conversation on part of the
officers caused him to go into his bed
and produce the razor. Clarence Shears
had the razor which was the one used
by the prisoners for shaving purposes.
Shears gave his razor up without pro-
test. Wilbur McClain had the case
knife. He did not protest when asked
for 1t.
The plan was to make saws of these
things, but in order to do 1t the pris-
oners must have files. Latham had
sent out for files and revolvers, in the
letters he pushed through the window
of the Jail with a broomstick, to a
confederate on the outside. Latham is
in the pit now. however, and will
hardly get into communication with
the outside world for awhile.
The worst trouble now is with the
prisoners in the lower eel! house whose

that they might convert the prisoners

he seems to think. for the purpose of
conducting revival meetings. Bayless

HOSPITAL IS TO CLOSE.
Bethesda Will Receive No More Pa
tients, Mission Fulfilled.

Bethesda hospital, between Ninth
street and Tenth avenue on Quincy
street, will be closed some time in
April. Preparations are now being
made to place the patients in other
hospitals over the city and the staff of
physicians and surgeons will be dis
solved. Lack of patronage is said to
be the cause. The building of st.
Francis hospital and the open door
policies of other hospitals in the city
has taken away from Bethesda its
place.
1t is known that Bethesda was or
ganized by a number of prominent
physicians and surgeons in Topeka
for the purpose of giving them a
practice in a hospital where the sur
gical work was not limited to mem

bers of the staff. For a time it was
successful.
Since that time, however other
hospitals in the city have abandoned
the staff idea and have opened their
privileges to other doctors. AS a re-
suit the mission of the Bethesda hos
pital was ended and it is now consid-
cred both profitable and practical to
close its doors.
Although none of the officers of
Bethesda could be seen this afternoon,
, the closing out of the hospital is an
assured fact. It is not known what
will become of the hospital staff of
nurses, but il is thought that it will
be distributed to other hospitals over
the city.
