He was born in Factoryville, Pa, where there aren't any factories. and went to Bucknell college till he found it interferred too much with his base ball ambition, at which point he promptly threw Bucknell into the dis card and set out for the land where everybody told the time by a box score instead of a calendar.

 Matty didn't start out to be a cham pion. There was nothing of the sud- den phenom about him. He was with the team almost a season before he had a chance to show off, and then there wasn't anybody waiting round to get a signed statement from him to put on the front page. He did all right, so-so, fair to middllng and therea bouts. He was in undisputed possession of what he refers to as the round house curve, which is as com mon as pig tracks in LOudoun county.

DISCOVERY OF GOLD

Many Ledees Waiting for the Pros pector-Placer Gold Soming In.

Peter Painter, proprietor of the Southern hotel in Kelvin. who is now in Phoenix, says that Kelvin is get ting little excited over recent gold finds in that Vicitity. Not long ago Jesse McSherry brought to him some samples from a ledge he uncovered a mile and half from Kelvin. He sent the rock to the Metallurgical Chemi- cal company of Denver and the assay returned was s264 in gold.
 Mir. Painted says there is also a considerable quantity of placer gold coming into Kelvin. Most of it is brought by MeXicans, but some of the dirt is so rich it should attract the attention of white prospectors. He believes that while the district has been made famous by copper, which is the prevailing mineral, its gold re- sources should not be overlooked. He thinks there is fine opportunity with in a few miles of Kelvin for gold hunters to do some profitable busi- ness. In his opinion what the country needs is more prOspectors.

TOOK LEGAL ADVICE
 FROM AN INSANE MAN

Listening to the advice of crazy man induced Isaac West and Abra- han, Stone two Finlanders, to enter a nIea or not guilty to charge of being drunk on the streets in case against them in Judge T. D. Bur dicks court officers declare, says the Bisbee Review. The men de nied this was so even when it came out in the trial. yesterday afternoon at four o'clock. but officers heard the demented men cauuoning them not to plead guilty. telling them that if they did. they would be sent to the penitentiary for life.
 West and stone are foreigners and apparently do not "sabe" the Ameri can judicial system, so apparently they fell for the loony con handed them in iail. where they were locked in the same cell with a man who is in confinement pending an investi- gation to his sanity. West and Stone were arrested Saturday night about II o'clock on Brewery gulch on the charge of being drunk They re- mained in jail until Monday morning when they were brought into the court to enter a plea.
 As two officers had seen the men in a drunken condition, a ripple of surprise ran around the court room when both entered pleas of not guilty. doggedly maintaining that they were not guilty and that they had not been drunk. Both were put under bond of $20 each and they J went back to jail to remain until

yesterday afternoon at o'clock, when the case was called
 On the stand yesterday they ad- mitted that they had had d few drinks and cited the fact that they remembered having been arrested as proof of their not having been drunk. Their only witness, a saloon keeper. admitted that they were not sober. . Officers McRea and Thomas testified that the men were drunk.
 Taking into consideration that the men, unversed in the courts of America, had followed the advice of an irresponsible, insane man, the court fined the defendants the cost of the case. At that the advice has proved costly. for they will spend about twenty days each in jail. The plea of not guilty resulted in greatly increasing the costs of the case over what they would have been had they pleaded guilty when they were first arraigned.

CAMPAIGN WILL OPEN
 IN TEMPE FRIDAY
Big Rallies Arranged For on the
 South Side.

The republican county campaign will be opened in Tempe Friday night. with a rousing meeting in Goodwin's opera house. The county chairman. P. H. Hayes. will accompany a num- Der of the candidates and it is possi- ble some of the candidates on the state ticket will be present also.
 It has not been decided yet who will be the speakers of the occasion and it may be that most of the can didates will edge to the front of the stage. Anyhow, they will be there to be seen and to shake hands and tell what they are there for, if the op- portunity presents itself
 On Saturday night there will be a similar meeting in the Mesa opera house. It is not likely that meetings will be held during fair week, but the candidates all mean business and pro- pose to start the ball rolling this week so the world will not be at a loss to identify them when they get mixed up with their democratic opponents at the fair grounds, for it may be de pended upon that none of them will overlook anything during the big non- partisan rally from all over the terri tory next week.

president replied at once, expressing
his confidence in Secretary Ballinger,
his reluctance to accept his resigna-

The president goes on to declare It
