HAS BEENS DE-
FEAT REGULARS

The $50 or more who journeyed
to the ball park last Sunday to wit
ness the contest between a nine
composed mostly Of those who con-
sidered themselves ball players
'steen years ago and the regular
Montpelier nine, saw far better
game than they were anticipating.
In fact, it was about as clean and
snappy a game as has been played
on the home diamond this season.
And to the surprise of nearly every.
! body the HAS Beens" left the
diamond with the scalps of the reg.
ulars dangling at their belts, with
the score standing to 8 in favor
of ''the old stiffs.
The regulars offer as an excuse
for their defeat the absence of two
of their good players Reese and
Hungerford, and that George
'Spongberg had to be substituted or
the mound in the place of Lawrence
whose arm wasn't in shape to pitch.
However, George didn't edo &C
worse" for one who doesn't pretend
to be twlrler.
The Has Beens went into thu
game confident of victory and they
soon demonstrated that they had no
forgotten the game. Frank Bourn,
had the honor of being the first one
of the Has Beens to cross the hom
plate, for which deed he was vocifeT
ously applauded.
Mike Malone nor Win Staley di'
not make any home runs as the,
said they were gong to, but the
played good ball just the same an
it was worth the price of admissio
: to see Mike perform on first base.
, "Bill'' Stewart officiated as um
, pire and he was right up to Hoyl
e on all of his decisions.
Another contest between theG
. mines will probably be pulled of
week from next Sunday.
o Following is the lineup in lai
4 Sundays game.

FOUND DEAD HORSE,
WAS IT WHITNEY'S

A dead horse, answering the de-
scrlption of the lost one that Hugh
Whitney, the outlaw, was known to
have been riding, was found Last
Monday about five miles north of
Soda Springs. The animal had
been shot in the neck and the head,
and had been dead only few hours
when found. The bride was on
the animal but the saddle was laying
on the ground some distance away.
The superstition is that Whitney,
tired of roughing 1t in the hills, de-
clded to make daring attempt IL
get out of this section of the coun-
try by rail, aud thus rode his horse
to the point where it was found,
and under cover of darkness made
his way to Soda where he boarded
freight train. However, it hardly
seems creditable that whitney woult
thus place himself in position wher'
the chances of being recognized ar
SO much greater than they were il
the hills. But after hiding in tn
hills alone for three weeks, mai
of his character would likely resor
to the most desparate of chances i
the hope of being able to get I
some place of srfety.

MOTOR SERVICE
STARTS SUNDAY

The local officials of the Short
Line received information the first
of the week that motor car service
would be established between Mont
pelier and McCammon on Sunday,
June 10. This service, it is under
stood, will be extended to Paris as
coon as the branch line is turned
over to the operating department,
which probably will be about the
fret of August. 1t is expected that
the motor car, which was recently
turned out of the shops at Omaha,
will arrive here from Salt Lake some
time tomorrow and be ready to make
the initial trip Sunday. This car is
said to be one of the largest that ia
being made in the Omaha shops and
will comfortably seat 30 passengers,
It will pull . 'ttrailer" which will
be used for carrying baggage and
express.
The motor cars have been in use
for several years on various branch
es of the Hartman system and have
given general satisfaction.
1t is understood that when th'
Paris branch is ready for servio'
the motor will leave here about 7:3t
.. M. for Paris and return in TIM
to leave for McCammon At 9:3O
On returning from McCammon at
| p. M, the motor will go on to Pari
and return here for the night.
The freight tariff has been issuet
for Ovid and Paris, but the pas
aenger rate has not yet been an
, nounced. The distance to Ovid
given at 5. miles and to Paris a
9.6 miles and as the rate on branc
lines Is 4 cents, the fare to Owl

The freight rate to Ovid an
Paris has been fixed st 10 cents

The county commissioners assem-
bled at Paris last Monday to take
up the work of eqnalizing the assess
ment of property in the county, but
were unable to proceed with the
work for the reason that Assessor
Dunford did not have the tax roll
ready to turn over to them. Mr..
Dunford appeared before the board
and asked for a weeks time in
which to get his books in shape.
He explained that he and his deput-
les had worked over time in their
efforts to complete the roll, but the
extra work involved this year had
made it impossible for them to get
the property all listed and the fig
ures proof read.
AS there were some twenty or
more taxpayers present from various
parts of the county to enter com.
plants against the high valuations
placed upon their property, the com
missioners were at loss how to pro.
ceed. They did not wish to work 3
hardship on those present by com.
pelling them to make another triE
TO the county seat. They also real
lied that it would be impossible fol
them to proceed with any degree Of
satisfaction while the tax roll wa
incomplete. After taking up thu
entire forenoon considering thu
question, 1t was decided that i
would be to the best interests of al
concerned to grant the request o
Assessor Dunford, and they accord
ingly adjourned as board of equal
ization until next Monday morn
ing, at which time they will listel
to all who have protests to ente
against the valuations placed ol
their property under the celebrates
"Hawley cash value" plan.
The indications are that the com
missioners will be kept busy tn
greater portion of next week, equal
izing the assessments. "The quick
est way out of it," said one ma
who is more or less acquainted wit
the valuations that have been place
upon property in the county, "wi
be for the board to first cut all th
assessments down just one-half an
then equalize such individual cast
as may be necessary. After maxim
a reduction of one-half, | belle,
the assessment in this county wi
come just as near being on the car
valuation basis as most of the 9th,
counties of the state are" AS

ed out. The animal was thrown into
some willows, where she laid for
some time before being discovered.
On July 4th the junior ball teams
of Paris and Fish Haven played here.
The score was AZ to 2 in favor of the
home team. The Paris boys claimed
the umpire, J. L. Gardner, favored
the Fish Haven team, but the fact
was the county seat lads could moi
touch the curved balls thrown by tht

The Seals Marvellous Instinct.

The instinct of the seal is marvellous.
1t will leave its young on the ice in
the morning and. going down through
a hole. remain away all day SWIM
ming in search of food. Returning In
the evening, 1t will locate its offspring
in the same patch" among hundreds
of thousands of other baby seals not
withstaD0ing that the ice may have
wheeled or drifted fifty or sixty miles
during the day from wind and tide
and Notwithstanding that the patch
may extend thirty or forty miles from
one end to the other. Whether this
instinct is of the class that enables
the bird without any mark or chart in
a forest with millions of trees alike to
find its way, back with ease and preci-
sion to its nest do not know. but 1t
is one of those wonders in nature
before which human knowledge is
brought to a full stop.-Slr Edward

TAX ASSESSOR BUSY
PREPARING new roll

The county tax assessor is busily
engaged in preparing the new realty
and personally assessment rolls for
the current year.
1t has been four years since a realty
assessment was made in the state, and
it is of course expected that the land
rolls will show a considerable increase
this year, probably amounting to as
much as $20,O00,00O. However, in
some sections of the state realty
values have been depressed somewhat
as result of the advent of the boil
weevil; and, while this depression is
but temporary, it will doubtless re-
fleet itself in the assessment roll.

Jennings a "Total AbstaIner.n

Il am simply delighted with Hatties-
burg" said Manager Hugh Jennings
of the Detroit Tigers Tuesday in a
conversation with a representative of
The News and with Mr.. Paul Bruske,
of The Detroit Times. There Is no
question about It," continued Mr.. Jen-
nings, "the people are the friendliest
and most hospitable I ever saw, and
then they are so we'll behaved no
loud or boisterous conduct anywhere,
no indication of the use of intoxicants.
l like this prohibition territory"
'You know Mr.. Jennings is a total
abstainer," said Mr.. Bruske.
Eyes am" said Mr.. Jennings in all
seriousness, "and l have been for the
past five weeks"
1t is simple justice to Mr.. Jennings
to state that before he entered unto
this "long dry spell" he was already
temperate in the use of intoxicants,
combining himself to an occasional bot
tie of beer, but he claims his health is
better and that he can play better ball
by eliminating intoxicants entirely.

PRETTY GAME
WAS PULLED OFF
Local Ball Team Made a Nice Show
Ing Against Their Fast
Opponents.

Neither barbecue with Hattiesburg
as the chief item on the menu, nor
yet slaughter of the innocents was
the second engagement at Hamper
Park between the Detroit Tigers and
the Hattiesburg team.
The final score was 3 to 0 in favor
of the visitors, the three runs being
piled up In the seventh when Con
dolfi allowed three grounders to slip
through his hands. But the season
has not opened yet, and two of those
chances were rather difficult, so Con
must not be judged by the mishaps of
the occasion.
No effort will be made to give a
detailed description of the game. 1t
marked the first appearance of Man
ager Smith in uniform and he signal
lied his appearance by robbing the
visitors of two-base hit in one of the
most difficult and spectacular one
hand catches ever seen here in the
center field garden. Bhrown and
George Gondolfi, who represented Hat
tiesburg on the mound, surpassed the
expectations of their nearest friends
by their excellent work. 1t has been
said that Hattiesburg is weak in the
pitching staff, but this impression was
largely banished after the appearance
of these two new twirlers. 1t looks
as if both will make good. OF the two
hits secured by the locals, one was a
sizzling two-bagger, lined over second
base by Lassiter, while Tutwiler Sc
cured a nice single.

AID IS GIVEN
TO THE NEEDY
Liberal Response Made to Plea for
Funds for Destitute Family
of This City.

The destitute family referred to
by The News yesterday and Monday,
have been handsomely provided for
by the Kings Daughters through the
liberality of the people, and "every
hand that touched the mold is better
off,"
Livings, is the name, of the family,
and they have been on the charity of
the town off and on for months, diff
ferent organizations helping them.
Finally the condition of the mother
became so deplorable that the Kings
Daughters realized that she would
never be able to help herself again
and that some permanent arrange
ment must be made so they deter
mined to send her to the Charity Hos
pital at Natchez
She was neatly, comfortably
dressed, placed on a new, clean cot,
and was shipped on the $50 train yes
terday.
Before leaving both she and her
husband signed a written instrument,
giving their three children to the
Kings Daughters to do with as they
thought best; expressing the hope
that they might find homes in the
Baptist Orphanage at Jackson; and an
effort is already on foot to try to get
them in that orphanage.
At present the little four-year-old
boy is with his father; and the seven
year-old boy is with Mrs. Fail; while
the wee seven-months-old girl is with
Mrs. Grubbs, who lives near the South
Mississippi College and close to where
these poor people lived.
When the condition of this woman
was known, everybody who was APP
preached was willing to lend helping
hand Ladies sent her new sheets
and slippers, blanket, and wearing
apparel. Mr. Ramsey furnished his
ambulance free to carry her to the de-
pot, and Merkel & Co. furnished the
horse. Mrs. Fairchild, a professional
nurse, gave freely her services for the
day, washing and dressing her, and
seeing her comfortably on the train
and Mrs. Fairchild says that in all her
professional experience she has never
J seen more pitiable case.
| An example The News thinks spe
cially to be commended was set by
| Mr.. e. NJ Haynes, foreman of the Hat
| tiesburg yards of the N. o. & N. E
railroad Mr.. Haynes, when his at
! tention was called to the appeal, moi
only decided at once that he wanted etc
/ be in" on a charity like that, but he
thought perhaps there were others
around him who would enjoy the priv
| lege of helping; so he called the at
tention of his co-workers to the no
tice, with the result that they 'chip
ped in" to the amount of $1,000, which
goes to show what a good example
and little work can do; how easy i
is to help each other if we would.

order of Kings Daughters wishes

tons were received, and In. His Mann
