When it comes to running bases,
Swan IS second Tyrup Cobb. He
tried to steal all the bases on the dia
mond yesterday and the umpire start
ed to make him stop. He stole second
and did not even halt, but kept on
to third, the umpire calling him out
as he slid into that sack.
The Timberjacks are a good-natured
set of fellows. They take their slaugh.
tering well, only saying that they are
getting better every day. They played
better yesterday than on Monday.
That is the kind of team that will
come out in the long run. The sore
heads never get anywhere. Smith
himself is an all round good fellow
and knows the ball game from start
to finish, but his team has just run
up against the wrong bunch at this
stage of the season. Jackson has no
mercy on any of them.

Jackson, Miss, April 24-Well it
was the same story over again in yes
terday's game. Jackson pounded the
ball all over the lot. They even
smashed out two more home runs in
the ARRAY on the Millsaps diamond.
The smuggling was heavy on both sides,
but the Drummers got little the best
OF it. Bell for the Timberjacks, did
heir greater part of the hitting, get
ing four safe ones out of five times
- bat Needles was on the firing line
f'r the home boys and held himself
'ogether well, although he was touched
- for eight hits, they were well
catered.
Montgomery has certainly done
something to his bunch of players for
they are hitting like old big leaguers.
They simply ruined the Hattiesburg
pitcher Monday and did not let Welt
on much better yesterday, having
touched him up for eleven hits. Every
man on the team has gotten his eye
on the ball. They are also fielding
well. Several bad plays we're pulled
of in yesterdays game, but then they
were excusable.

Spanish cabinet has resigned and a

THE FAMOUS CASE WILL oOHGE
UP FOR ANOTHER ARGUMENT
T HE LAST OF THIS MONTH

Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 15-The next
case on the calendar of the supreme
court for argument is the rehearing If
the stockwell case which is set for
January 80, in which he appears as de-
PENDANT with the state Of North Dako-
ia as plaintiff, and in which he was
once defeated, being ordered to pay ov.
er $1,000 fees collected by the late su.
perintendent's office and alleged to
have been retained by him illegally.
The decision of the court by which
he was ordered to make such payment
was divided, being three to two, and
when the application for rehearing
was made it was granted. One of the
interesting features in connection with
the coming arguments, which will be
made during the latter part of the
present month, is the fact that Justice
Bruce will be on the bench instead of
Justice Morgan. Justice Morgan dc
cided with the majority in the opinion
against Mr.. stockwell.
Originally, it was tried in the Grand
Forks district court, and in that court
Judge Templeton held against Mr.
Stockwell, contending that all fees paid
into the office shall be accounted for to
the state treasurer. The defense con
tends that the law makers intended
that the fees in question should go to
the superintendent for use by him III
the extension of certain educational
work, and that there was no necess: ~
for it being turned over to the treas.
urer or no law that compelled such dis
position of the monies.
