St. Stephens Team
One of the First

The St. Stephens team, of George
town, which recently joined the Mar
uuette League, is one of the first anna
teur baseball lines in the field.
The team won the championship of
the Olympia League last year, finishing
the season with the remarkable record
of 4l won and S lost. With sdch a rec
ord behind them the members of the
nine are confident they will be in the
race in the Marquette League from
start to finish.
Manager Noone has quite a number
of candidates pledged for the team,
most of whom are residents of West
Washington. To date these men are
CaIlan, Cleary, Colbert, DAILY, Evans,
Hillberry, Holloran, Kidwen. McDon-
ough. Murphy, Noone, Norris, Rapp.
Schombert, c. and T. Sullivan. NoOnC,
Colbert, and Hillberry will do the catch
ing, and MCDonough, Norris, Sullivan,
and Kidwcll are slated for the slab
work. With these men, all of whom
boast of good records last year, to do
the battery work, Manager Noone feels
satisfied that at least two departments
will be well looked after.
Sunday games with Forts Myer
Washington, and Hunt, Virginia A. c.,
Bowie, and other Maryland and Vir-
ginia teams are wanted by Manager
NOone.

SAY SCOTT GHOULS

Robbery Was Not
a Plot.
ERIE. Pa. Feb. n-Ths desecration

ERIE, Pa, Feb E.-The desecration
Of the Scott mausoleum was not the re-
suit Of a plot on the part of persons
who had reasons for enmity toward the
family, Is the position taken today by
the detectives hired to solve the mys-
terry. They insist that were such the
case expert burglars would have been
engaged, while those who broke into
the marble vault were bunglers Of the
crudest type.
Despite this fact. the rumors that the
family are trying to hide something"
persist, and there are may people In
Erie who still believe that body was
taken from the mausoleum and has not
been located. This. likewise, the men,
bers Of the family emphaticaIly denied.
From the present outlook there is
not immediate prospect Of an arrest"
said Perkins, head of the private detec-
tives today. I'VE have been instructed
to continue the search until the mis-
creants are captured, and intend to do
so. although it seems likely to be a
tedious task"

ANIMALS GO MAD
IN THE BRONX ZOO
Padded Cells Provided for Wild ASS Kudu, Gnu Giraffe
and Zebras Which Suffer
With Paranoia.

NEW YORK. Feb. 13-Painful as it is
for the authorities to announce the fact
some of the specimens in the Bronx Zoo
have gone 'dippy in the lid." making
necessary the establishment of a fool
ish house." with padded cells and SIM
liar adIuncts for the treatment of mild
forms of insanity.
The Kudu, suffering from melancholia,
occupies No. !; the blue whIskered gnu,
also morose, is in No. 2; and they have
for neighbors the hippotragus, a wild
ass, who is fast qualifying for a
straightjacket; two zebras and two
giraffes.
The wild ass is blamed for starting the
epidemic of paranoia. OF course he was
mildly wild when he arrived some time
ago, but the authorities never thought
he would make such an ass Of himself.
It seems that one day he caught sight
of the lilac-colored whiskers which
adorn the gnus chin. He made frivo-
lous remarks about them. He called
the gnu a goat, advised a shave and
suggested that by parting with the two
prongs on his head he might attain to
the dignity of being considered a thor
oughbTed instead of a horned horse.
The gnu took the advice to heart. He
rubbed out all the curl and about half

WHITES THREATEN
WAR ON INDIANS
Murder of Four Settlers
Charged to Band
of Red Men.

RENO, New, Feb. 13.-Frontiersmen
all along the border of Nevada and Cali
fornia are so worked up over their belief
that Indians from the Pyramid Lake
reservation in Nevada murdered four
wealthy farmers, whose bodies have just
been found, that a general war between
the Indians and the whites is threatened.
In spite of the complete lack of in
formation as to what individuals were
responsible, all Nevada is expecting that
before tonight there will be bIoodshed
between the posse of frontiersmen who
are out on the trail, and Indian suspects.
For two weeks four settlers OF large
property interests, Henry Cambron, J.
B. Lexague. Peter Erramuspe and B.
indiana, had been missing, and it was
understood that they had organized
as a posse to trail cattle thieves.
Their long absence aroused fears and
second posse started in search of
them a few days ago. They have just
brought in the report that the bodies of
the four stockmen were found in Lit
tie Rock Canyon, just over the Califor-
mia line. 1t was evident that as the
four sat around a campfire at night
they were surprised and shot before
they could defend themselves.

when discovered yesterday. They put
him in a cell padded with soft hemp

It's 4 case of acute vanity with the
zebras. They are credited with over
stripes were not going to be fashionable
this spring. Observing the dewhisker-
ing process adopted by the gnu, they
started to rub out their stripes, and
were so persistent that the keepers had
to shackle them, leg and hOof. Before
being restrained they had transferred
enough stripes to make the posts Of
their pen look like BARRIERS poles
The giraffes never had brains to pare
anyway, and foolishly decided to learn
to count by watching the stripes disap-
pear on the zebras, But the zebras
rubbed hit or miss, thus breaking the
sequence of stripes and the giraffeS
went out of their heads-which is a
long way to go.
The kudu's magnificent pair of cork
screw horns excited the envy of the
hippotragus, who had been content with
the antelope prongs with which nature
had blessed him. He asked If the kudu
had been bartender in Africa. The
kudu IS painfully sensitive. A battle

Two Wildcats Are Shot
On Scene of Murder

| MONTICELLO, n. Y, Feb. 1S.-Two
wildcats that made their den In the
ruins of the old farm house in which
lake Moore and his aged housekeeper
were found murdered more than ten
years ago were killed by Fred Steiger
and Wash Trenchard, local hunters.
| Together the cats weighed fifty-flve
pounds.
For weeks the animals had terrorized
the inhabitants of South Bushville with
kideous cries at night, which at times
could not be distinguished from those of
a child. Women were afraid to ven
ture out after dark and the male pop
ulation remained at home rather than
take a chance at putting an end to the
disturbance.
When the news reached Steiger and
Trenchard that big game positively
existed in the swamp near BishVille
they were not slow in getting togeth-
er the best pack of hounds in town
for an attack. Well armed, the men
drove TO the Moore property and there
let the dogs loose. 1t became appar-
ent that in order to rout the game;

one after another the dogs plunged
headlong into the cellar after their
master. Removing a pile of boards,
Steiger saw a pair of green eyes star
ing at him not more than three feet
away. He reached for his gun and
fired one barrel AS he did SO out
jumped two full grown wildcats, spit
ting and snarling with rage.
The next instant saw Steiger In
hand to hand conflict with them, sup
plemented by half a dozen dogs. while
Trenchard looked on powerless to as
sist his companion. BY good luck
Steiser succeeded in killing one of
the cats as 1t was attempting to
away through the cellar drain, and
the other was shot by Trenchard after
it had fought off the dogs and was
trying to escape across the fields.
