appreciated.

ers' Would Get Out of Prison.

Michael Griffin, who is now serving
term of seven years in the state
prison at Waupun as result of his
being convicted in connection with
charges of arson in this county, has
applied to Governor McGovern for a
pardon and the application will be
heard by the governor on August IA.
Griffin was convicted in the circuit
court here in December of 1908. He
was charged with having set fire to the
resort known as the "Four Corners =
which for many years was an eye sore
in the town of Pleasant Prairie. Sew
eral other people were arrested in con-
nection with the case but Griffin was
the goat" and he took the punish
ment for the crowd. GriffA was sup
posed to be Milwaukee man at the

make any attempt to prevent favor
able action by the governor on the
application. Griffin has been in jail
for over two years and has been a
model prisoner.

Leave no Doubts as to Their Superiori
ty at Outdoor Indoor Game.

Thursday afternoon when the bunch

up the Racine men III two games of
outdoor indoor baseball. There was a
mitigating circumstance. The first
game which was won by the Kenosha
team by score of IL to Ii was play
ed before the dinner was served. Then
the business men of the two cities sat
down to a fried chicken dinner and
when the dinner was over the Kenosha
men spurred or by the first real square
meal they had had in some time we're
so strong that they just conlan : lose
and they won the second game by a
score of Is to ia Both games were
replete with features. Jacob Gies and
John Wagner, who pitched for the op-
posing teams, We're in such great form
that league scouts on the grounds
threatened to sign them on the spot.
Ben De Diemar of the Keuosha team
had the best of the hitting bee and
his home run won the first game for
the Kenosha team. The Kenosha team
is going to give Racine chance to
get even and return games will be play
ed in Kenosha within a short time.
