CANANEA SATISFIED
 WITH FL PAS0 TALK

CANANEA. March B. (SpeciaD- Vic Walling has returned from the Fl Paso baseball conference well satis- fled with every transaction that was cared through and extremely glad that arrangements for this meeting were provided for The gathering that was held in Douglas at d prior date was planned in good faith. and invitations were extended to the Pass City powers to be on hand; but. since it was nos possible for a representa- tive of that city to attend. it is well that this final conclave was called.
 Tn decision to begin playing earlier meets with the unanimous approval of local fans. Fl Paso, by her gener- ous schedule concessions and sports manlike manner of agreeing to every
 upbuildlng feature of the game. has scored a point that cannot help but make her team popular and welcome at every stopping place in the cactus land. But the best thing Of all was the way in which the umpire question was taken care Of. As was previously decided. two paid men win be secured whose purposes and integrity cannot be questioned They must be good men. with a thorough knowledge Of the game and with sufficient authority to be master Of every acsor on the dia- mond. Any two teams registering a kick against him. means dismissal WaIling was elected to have complete control of the umpires and has al- ready wired to Los Angees for one His job will not be a sweet and pleas ant one Cananea is mighty glad that Bisbee landed Orendorff. and hopes that the entire Mucker team will be fitted up with similar material With a string of classA players. the little class D fancy does no. appear SO all turing now. Down here the situation was clear all the time. but Bistee had to be shown. and it is clear to all that she has seen enough now 10 know

Each game will be fought for in a clean and gentiemanly way. We are not worrying much about the presence of formidable twirl- CTS on the other teams. as we have batters who would hit any pitcher in the world-and a pitcher or so of our own. besides"

SHELTER CITY BUG
 IS BITING HARD
(Dougias internationally

(Douglas Internationally
 The baseball bug has crawled out of the earth after a season of hiber- nation at Tucson and is at last awake. An article in the Star re- gently states that according to au- thentic information a definite plan Is afoot to give Tucson the benefit Of semi-professional ball by placing the city on the list Of cities proposed for a new league" The cities men, toned are Douglas, Bisbee and Ca nanea-no mention of Fl PasO.
 As is well known here matters are already well arranged for the season so as to include Fl Paso and Tucson has not been included. Still if the Old Pueblo wants 10 get in the game and travel in fast company there is little doubt that the ancient one will be welcomed and arrangements made to give the old lady a warm reception.
 H. H. Wynkoop is said to be be- hind the movement in Tucson. Wyn- koop is a real live fan and a work CT. and the Douglas. Bisbee and Cananea punches hope that Tucson will get busy and organize for real baseball.
 The Fl Paso Times has as yet had nothing to say in regard to the action on umpires which was taken at the meeting in Fl Paso on Sun day It publishes what purports to be a schedule up to July so far as Fl Paso is concerned. and as to this manager O'Donovan. on his return yesterday stated that the schedule was practically agreed to up to that date. The schedule as published in the Times is likely
 to be further amended in one OF two respects at least. and may give three-day instead of two-day stands.
 The schedule as published in the Times is the same as adopted from May 1 to July I. but starts earlier with added games. It brings Can anea 10 Fl Paso on April 9 and 10, Douglas in that city on April 16 and r and Bisbee April 23 and 24. This seems to suit Cananea and Bisbee and will probably be agreed to. and though il starts the season earlier than Douglas anticipated. still manager O'Donovan will not object

IN LIQUOR PROSECUTIONS

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 15.-When a de
fendant in liquor case is charged
with the unlawful conveyance of liquor
lit is not necessary for the state tc
prove that it was not lawfully pur
chased. Such is the holding of the
criminal court of appeals in an opin
ion by Presiding Judge Furman il
affirming the conviction of Joseph
Jacobs of Canadian county, sentenced
to sixty days Imprisonment and $10C
fine for conveying"
In the case of Lem Sing and Lee
Sing, from Carter county, where the
defendants were prosecuted jointly, the
failure of the judge to tell the jury

Furman, were decided as follows:

ed and remanded because of instruc.
tions as to the credibility of witness.

freight trains collided at a point one
mile south of here at 9 o'clock yester-
day morning on the Red River division
of the Frisco, Engineer Shelter sustain
ed injuries which caused his death in
a hospital at this place about 8 o'clock
last night

that the crash was coming, all of them
jumped with the exception of Shelter.
His right leg was crushed and severe
internal injuries were suffered as the
result of his trying to prevent the
crash by sticking to his post of duty.
The wreck occurred on curve, and
the two enginees were more or less
mutilated. Little damage was done
to the track and the wreckage was
cleared within few hours after the
accident occurred. A shifting of or

hospital after being brought to Sa-
pulpa struck water plug at a corner
and was partially wrecked.

COMMISSION FIXES FLAT
RATE FOR ELECTRIC LIGHTS

Guthrie, Okla, Dec. 16.-The corpo-
ration commission has set a possible
precedent for similar cases in the fu-
Iture by establishing fat rate for
electric light service at Sulphur. A
rate of $3.50 per month is fixed for
fiye lights or less (16 candle power)
and 25 cents additional for each extra
light of the same power. When a
meter rate is preferred a minimum of
Isl is established and a sliding sched-
ale of rates according to the amount
used. Moving picture shows are given
10 rate of 81 per day. This arrange
ment has been agreed to by the Sui
phur Light & Refrigerating company,
against whom complaint was made.
In case brought against the Enid
Electric & Gas company, which is said
to have promised free gas stoves to a
certain number of patrons, the com.
mission decided that it had no juris-
|diction. The Ardmore gas case, hav-
ing been settled outside, was dismissed
as were also the two complaints
against the Guthrie Gas company, al
'leging discrimination, which were
found not to be we'll founded.
In the case of the city of Purcell
against the Purcell Water company
the company was required to give bet
ter service and furnish better water.

OIL LEASES TAKEN
IN CRAIG COUNY
Drilling Will Be Started at Once on
the Leases Taken Near Estella
And 6lueiacket.

Vinita may yet become the center of
a rich oil field if the expectations Of
certain operators who are taking leases
in Craig county, materialize. AS evil
dence of their belief that this county
is underlaid with grease, L. N. and
w. V. Lane have leased about 1000
acres of land near ,Estella, nine miles
west of here and win begin drilling on
their leases as soon as the machinery
arrives. 49,
For many months oil men have ex-
pressed the belief that there was
rich pocket of oil near this city. The
Messrs. Lane have expressed their
confidence that such field exists by
putting their money into leases and
preparing to sink more in an attempt
to tap the oil.
Yesterday twelve leases were filed
at the office of the register of deeds,
on land near Bluejacket. All of these
leases were taken by #. H. Wells and
we're on lands in township 27, range
81 east.
The activity in drilling in this coun-
| ty is causing considerable optimism
among property owners, who see, in
the new industry, visions of fair sized
boom in city property, and has also
caused renewal of the plans for more
business houses in this city, which will
naturally become the center of opera
tions IL oil is found.

GORDON WINNER
OVER Ed BARNARD
After First Round Spectators Realized
That Barnard Was No Match for
His Heavier Opponent.

Bart Gordon scored another prize
ring victory last night, defeating Ed
Barnard in three rounds of what was
to have been fifteen-round mill at the
skating rink, but Barnard was such
an easy mark that it seemed almost a
shame to take the money.
Barnard's friends had done good
deal of boasting before hand about
what their man would do to Gordon.
Gordon weighed in about thirty pounds
heavier than Barnard, but Gordons
friends half feared Barnard might
prove one of those fast and foxy fel.
lows whose science neutralizes hand.
leap in weight. Gordon spared lightly
the first round, as If taking the meas
ure of his man, and then let himself
go.
From that moment it was evident
that Barnard had no show Three
times in the second round Gordon
drove him to the ropes, pummelling
his face and head almost at will. Each
time Barnard clinched, and Gordon
would get in two or three kidney
swipes before the referee compelled
them to break away. The referee an
nounced "Gordon's round" at the close
but nobody needed the announcement
1t was only question how many more
rounds Barnard could stand.
The third round was like the second
only more so. Barnard on the de
fensive, Gordon rushing the fighting
Gordon got in neck blow, the impact
of which sounded all over the rink
Once Barnard was knocked down. He
was knocked against the ropes, and
pummelled, and compelled to clinch
to many times that it was hard to keeI
count of them. Gordon had played
with Jimmy Nolen a few days before
but he was working overtime or
Barnard.
When the gong struck for the fourth
round, Gordon leaped from his chail
to the center of the ring, but Barnard
didn't leave his seat Gordon demand
ed that the fight be called. The referee
counted ten" while Barnard still sal
in his corner surrounded by his friends
and declared Gordon the winner
The cIinches were noticeable fea
ture of the scrap. Bill Meeks was
referee, and it was lucky he was a
husky one. The fighters paid no at
tention to the call to break, and had
to be separated by main force. often
striking at each other over the referees
head while he was trying to push them
apart.
Fred Woodard had charge of Cor
don's corner, and Sol Ketchum OF
Barnard's.
The audience was disgusted at the
one-sidedness of the fight and it's short
duration. Only the two preliminary
bouts gave them any excuse for feeling
that they had their moneys worth

Tony Wright and Billy Title fought
five rounds to a draw, and two kids
Charley Webb and Billy Nelson spared
for three. This bout furnished the
comedy of the evening. Nelson was
taller and heavier than Charley, but
Charley lodged him, and thumped him
like a combination of a brownie and a
bantam.
There were about a hundred people
present. Before the boxing began, the
audience was favored with several
musical selections by volunteer band
of Vinita boys, but succeeded in sur
viving the ordeal.
