MARE ADOPTS A CALF

BY the adopting of a calf as her
own, the grief of a mare belonging
to Charles Stoll. near Proebstel.
Wash, has been lessened. A cot was
born to the mare, The colt lived but
a few days and as the mare roamed
disconsolately about the pasture she
crossed the path of a COW with a calf.
A battle between the COW and the
mare followed and the latter won the
affections Of the calf. Whenever att
erward the COW would attempt to ap-
proach the calf the mare with ears
laid back, would make q charge and
drive OF the mother. The mare and
the calf are now i~nseparable. the calf
thriving under the watchful care Of

stockman, who does not know in
which of four states he lives. His
position is most puzzling, not to say
embarrassing, above all when he Wis
its foreign parts and wants to put
his place of habitation on the hotel

ally a man without a state. He gets
up each morning In Utah, eats a
breakfast in Colorado. which his wife
prepared in Arizona and smokes his
pipe after supper in New Mexico. He

National News ASsoctatlon)
BOSTON, Oct 21.-While the Rev.
C. v. T. Richeson is busily engaged in
his cell in the Charles Street Jail with
the preparation of a public statement
which will be read from the pulpit of
the Emmanuel Baptist church, Cam
bridge, where he is pastor, tomorrow,
the entire Boston detective force is
concentrating it's effort to clinch the
fact that the accused clergyman met
Avis Lirnell last Saturday afternoon
and gave her the cyanide of potassium
which caused her death a few hours
later.
Chief of Inspectors Dugan declares
that he has woven complete circum-
stantial case with the exception Of one
link, and considering the circumstance
under which the golden haired girl of
10 died 1t is supremely important this
link shall be supplied. However ugly
the other feature of the. case may ap-
pear, the police admit that no jury
would convict the Rev. Richeson of
murder unless it were demonstrated
beyond scintilla OF doubt that the
young clergyman had given the girl
the poison.
1t has been urged in the accused
mans defense that before he pur-
chased the phial of poison from the
Newton Center druggist he had threat
ened the landlord Of his Cambridge
home that he would either have to kill
his landlords dog or move from the
house. This is seftered to supply a
motive for purchasing the cyanide.
No dog was poisoned. The drug
was bought October 10th. and Avis
Lnneil died October II.

MfereStm World Series Djn1Ined
by DELAYS and ScdndalPum01s

Immediately after their arrival here
half a, dozen Broadway theaters said
the Giants would attend their perfor-
mances tonight. The actor idea seems
to permeate the entire situation here,
and from that fact has arisen the lat
est scandal connected with the worlds
series. Some one sold the moving
picture privileges to one firm and cut
all the photographers. newspaper and
otherwise. from the field. The play
ers have demanded a share in the mov-
ing picture proceeds and the national
commission has turned them down
cold. That has caused much anger
among the inflated athletes, who do
not consider $4,000 each enough for
playing the series. although the yearly
salaries of the players 10 not average
as much as they will get from this
series. On the other hand, who gets
this piece of graft?
= Interest in the series is waning so
rapidly that 1t would be good thing
to call it off now, and let 1t go as it
stands. The national commission did
not take the trouble to go over to
Philadelphia today.
There is another scandal that is rip
ening rapidly. Hugh Jennings. manag-
er of the Detroit club, is out with an
ak for the national commission. He
was accused of being a traitor to the
American league and informing Man
ager McGraw to have his players jump
at Baker. telling them Baker would
quit If attacked.
Jennings blames some of the nation
al commission members and he cursed
the commission openly withing their
hearing. Nice doings.
