each other" BY Justice Albert G.
Burnett. Of the appellate court. before
the annual convention of the Cali

is something radically wrong when
so much time is occupied in impanel-
ing a jury. Even should the case be
an extraordinary one. he said. a jury
ought to be selected in a reasonable
time He said under the present pro-
ceedure in California time is no OBJ

Governor Mead was in a most I'M

in his refusal to give any further in

THE BASEBALL FAIR
Entertainment Being Held for the
Purpose of Raising Funds

The annual fair of the Bennington
baseball association is in progress at
Foresters' hall. The fair opened last
evening with a much smaller atten-
dance than was the case on the open
ing night year ago. This was I'M
doubtedly due to the unusual num-
Der of entertainments and attractions
of the present week and the directors
are looking for bigger crowd to-
night.
The fair is the method by which
the general public is enabled to help
the association in raising its fund
for the maintenance of the team. A
year ago the entertainment proved
successful beyond the expectations Of
the directors and the result was a
baseball team that was able to beat
out all but one organization in the
four cornered league. This year the
Huckleberry boys are going after the
flag. Manager Higgins has secured
nine composed of experienced play
ers and with the proper kind of
backing from the people should land
first place in the league series Every
individual admission helps, therefore
everybody interested in the sport, the
kind We have had in Bennington dur
ing the past few years, should be
present.

were drawn as tightly as it is con-
ceivable for them to be, it would be
useless to reopen the matter at this
time unless conditions have changed.
This seems to be the question: Have
conditions changed in any way? Some
there are who assert that If the extra
session is called it may be interpreted
that some change has taken place,
that some concession will be made by
some one, with the opposite conclus-
ion that if the session is not called it
may be assumed that the two monster
railroad systems are at locked horns
as stubbornly as ever before"

ed Against Bennington Last
Year

Manager E. S. Higgins of the Ben

Dick" Burns, who started the season
with Pittsfield last year Burns made
an excellent impression here with
the baseball public in the game he
pitched for Pittsheld against Fisher
at Tudor park. Burns was up against
man who was already under con
tract in the big show yet his work
was fully as good as that of his OPP
ponent. Bennington won the game
to 0, making four hits off Burns to
two off Fisher. Finnegan, who scored
Benningtons lonely run, reached first
base on an error. Five days later at
Pittsfleld Burns beat Bennington 10
to and three days later repeated the
performance with a score of to l.
Bennington never made over 7 hits
off Burns in any one of the three
games. He has been playing in Ber-
muda during the winter and should
therefore be in good shape when the
season opens next month.
