and came into Frank Baker feet first,
badly spiking Frank in the right leg AS
Snodgrass walked back TO the bench
many OF the crowd hissed and hooted at
him. l understand that one man threw
a pocket knife at him.
The impression seemed 10 be that wa
wanted 10 put Baker-our worst enemy
out of business, and that Snodgrass had
purpOsely cut MIN UP. That is far from
the truth. In the frst place, Snodgrass
and Baker are the best OF friends off the
field. They've chummed together for
several years, when they met. Two
years ago, when we were playing ex-
hibition winter games in California,
they Were together every day. The last
thing SnodGrass would do is hurt a
friend.
ANY base runner will tell you that
Frank Baker-Breat player that he is
doesn't cover third base right. The path
belongs 10 the runner, not to the field
cr. but Frank always stands right in
the path. He has been spiked several
times by Ty Cobb Ty. when this hap
pened, said It was Bakers own fault.
In Saturdays game, when Baker was
spiked before by Snodgrass. the latter
said IL was because Frank didn't stand
back a little or straddle the bag like
other basemen do. predict that IL
Frank isn't taught little better by
Connie Mack he'll be put out of baseball
Trough his own fault.
Only six men faced Coombs in the first
two innings. Chief Meyers got the first
hit off Coombs, a swagger grounder
which bounded over Bakers head. Matty
followed thus up with a single to right.
Barry had a fast chance to handle in
the Giants third, and that Meyers
n a tumble. which was
perfectly excusable.

GRAFT EXISTS
IN COUNTIES
IS DECLARED
Public Examiner Leddy Finds That
Things are Wrong But Does
Not Say Which Place

H. J. Leddy. pub1ic examiner
says he has uncovered startling
juggling of accounts in the different
counties of the state.
The names of the particular
counties he refuses to divulge until
he has investigated further. He
does say that when his reports are
made public in a few days that
there will be disclosures of start
ling nature. Attorney General Ben
Griffith has been asked long list
of questions regarding the author
ity of the county officials in the ex-
penditure of the funds entrusted to
their care Upon his answer awaits
the disclosures, says Leddy.
Leddy does not use the word
graft in speaking of the things
he claims to have found. He says
that the irregularities he and his
assistants have unearthed will cry
out for investigation. Wedding
presents, birthday presents, supplies
charged to the counties and d.
verted to private use, travelling and
other expenses never incurred. and
charged to the county government;
court fees not accounted for and
other peculiar transactions are
what Leddy says his investigations
have brought to light.

ASKS THAT
CULVERTS
Be PUT IN
MAYOR MAYHER WRITES TO
RAILROAD COMPANIES
THE OFFICIALS ARE WILLING
Prompt Action Is Taken Following
the Heavy Rains Of Thursday
That Flooded the Down
Town Streets

Mayor Mayher has lost no time
in getting busy on handling the
uood water proposition, following
the experience of Thursday when
the heavy rains caused considerable
embarrassment to the down town
merchants. Friday afternoon he
wrote letters to the officials of the
Union Pacific and Colorado &
Southern Railroad companies re-
questing that the roads install Gull
verts under their tracks at Sixth,
Seventh and Eighth streets.
The proposition was broached to
the railroads some time ago, follow
ing a heavy rain when the flood
water was troublesome, and it is
understood that the railroads as
sumed a favorable attitude in the
premises at that time. They ex-
pressed willingness to comply with
the request of the city, but for some
reason the culverts were not install
| led.
Much of the water that accumu-
| lates during the heavy rains could
be carried away If the proper sort
of culverts were installed by the
railroads. The expense of putting
them in would be comparatively
| light for the amount of good that
would result.
The Colorado e Southern at one
time stated that it would put in the
culverts so soon as its tracks were
raised, but the tracks have been
raised since then, but no culverts
We're installed.
1t is believed that the letters
written by the mayor will have the
/ desired result and that within q
short time an outlet for the food
waters in the down town streets vii

new PLAN
TO CATCH
THE RATS
COIORED BOY DOWN EAST THE
ORIGINATOR
CAUGHT 81 IN THREE DAYS
Used Fishing Line and Hook With
Cheese for Bait-COmpletely
Rid City Hall In His Town
of the Pests

Here's a brand new one that may
come as a life saver to the residents
of Greeley who may have become
discouraged over their efforts at
ridding their premises of rats. 1t
comes at most opportune time, as
the little boys don't have to go to
school now and, with small
bounty as an incentive. might beat
the record of the little colored lad
( at New Rochelle. n. Y, who put 81
rats out of business Al three days
by means of fishing for them with
cheese for bait
the east:
For the first time in fifty years
the city hall of New Rochelle Is free
of rats, and all the officials here
have rendered thanks to 11-year-old
Harrison Lee, mulatto boy, who
was taken from his home in Balti-
more by two negro pool sharks
| and deserted here two weeks ago.
Harrison has been kept here until
word could be received from Balti-
more.
"a few days ago he watched the
city hall cats Intellectual attempts
| to catch rats, and the lad got
bright idea. Rigging up fishing
tackle, baited with cheese, he poked
it down the rat hole and for three
days fished for rats. He caught
67 rodents of all sizes and ages un-
til yesterday one big fellow stole
bait, hook, sinker line and all.
Last night Harrison placed a
large piece OF limburSer cheese near
the rat hole and waited with club.
About / o'clock in the morning the
rat appeared and Harrison finished
him. Not a rat has been seen in
the city hall today"

RESERVOIR ACT
TO Be PLACED
BEFORE PEOPLE
The CARPENTER Measure That Was
Fought During Assembly to Be
Referred to Voters

! The Carpenter reservoir act Will
go on the official ballot, under the
re ferendum. at the next election.
Petitions will be circulated in every
section of the state and the neces-
sary s per cent will be filed with
the secretry of state within the
ninety day time limit, August 4.
Senator John Tobin of Montrose,
who was vigorously opposed to the
measure when it was under discus
sion in the upper branch of the
legislature, is making a tour OF the
state to enlist volunteers In the
work of circulating the referendum
petitions Yesterday he was at Fort
Collins comforting with Senator
John Cross, who also opposed the
bill
The lower Platte valley will be
taken care of by George E. Hosmer.
state printing commissioner, who
will see to it that the farmers and
citizens of the eastern counties are
fully represented.
1t is understood the movement
has the Endorsement of Governor
Shafroth, who signed the bill on the
representation of many opposed to
it that it would be referred to the
people. There are many irrigation
lists who favor the bill and they
made such a strong demonstration
before the governor that he felt
ought to be given for
a popular expression on 1t.
The objection urged against the
act is that reservoirs are placed up
on the same basis as bitches in the
matter of water rights. Under the
present custom it is very rare that
a senior ditch takes all the water
to which it is entitled. After sup
plying the wants OF the lrrlgation-
lists under such bitches the excess
flows down to the junior appro-
priators.
