Jack Tighe's Colonies and Hugh
Duffy's Milwaukee aggregation will
meet again this afternoon and to-
morrow, after which the Kansas City
team under their new leader, Charlie
! Carr, will come for a three-game
series, which will be the ending OF
| Louisville's first at home series, the
team then making a circuit of the
Eastern whirl, returning home again
May IS. From the article OF ball
the Colonies are putting up at pres
ent 1t would not be at all surprising
to see them take the two remaining
games from the Brewers and at least
two out of three from Kansas City,
who do not seem to have struck their
stride and are not playing the game
under Carr that they did under the
management OF Danny Shay. II is a
little too early to make a prediction
of the possible penant contenders, as
there are many changes in the line
ups from last season, and the differ
ent teams will have to be seen in
action before this can be done, but
at this writing 1t looks like the flag
lies between the Colonies, st. Paul
and Minneapolis, with the chances In
favor of the former two, as the
Millers are not as strong as last
season, having the poorest outfield
In the association. and have not the
hitting aggregation that was their
big asset last year. and in this de-
partment will be distanced by the
Colonies. who will have about five
800 hitters this year. With this
heavy artillery many OF the fans
would like to see Manager Tighe
keen Joe Stanley in the lineup for
his brilliant fielding, which has
saved many a game, but which does
not appeal to some of the dense
thinkers who have been crying for
his retirement

"LIAR" STOPS TEXAS COURT.
Judge Lcks His Man. Fines Himself,
Then Resumes Business.

Midland, Texas, Feb. 13.-Recall-
ing the days of Roy Bean, the ia
nous justice of the peace, who a
number of years ago was known as
'all the law west of the Pecos, -
Judge J. H. Knowles, of the commits
sioners' court, here to-day laid aside
his official dignity long enough to en-
gage in fstic battle. During the
session Judge Knowles, presiding,
made an assertion regarding pre-
vious ruling of the court. Inasmuch
as the commissioners court is a
county tribunal of considerable i'm
portance in the county, comments on
it's rulings are not to be lightly made,
even by the presiding justice. So
thought Commissioner julie Driver,
who was present. No sooner had the
offending remark been made when
he rose and exclaimed:
"You are a liar, judge"
The court did not hesitate.
s'This court will stand adjourned,
announced Judge Knowles, until l
whip the man who just now called
me a liar" Then it happened.
Those who witnessed the fight say
the Judge scored the greatest number
of pugilistic points. A few minutes
later the Judge reconvened court,
fined himself for fighting, and paid
the fine. The court then went back
to work and it's dignity was not fur
ther rufled.

Steal Small Fortune.

New York, Feb. 15.-Twenty-five
thousand dollars in currency was
stolen from a taxicab in the heart of
the downtown business district this
morning by three progressive high
waymen, who sprang into the vehicle
and overpowered w. F. Smith and
Frank Wardell, messengers of the
East River National bank, $50 Broad
way.
Both messengers we're badly in
jured and the robbers escaped with
the money-s15,000 in SIS bills and
$4,000 in 500 bills.
The currency was being transport
ed from the Produce Exchange bank,
in the lower part of the city.
The taxicab had proceeded up
Broadway without mishap when, for
some unexplained reason, the chauf-
feur turned west on Rector street into
Church street., skirting the side and
rear of Trinity churchyard.
About midway of the old cemetery
three men sprang from the church.
One jumped on the chauffeur's seat,
the two others got into the vehicle.
The man on the seat pressed a re-
volver, in his overcoat pocket, against
the side of the chauffeur, Gina Mar
tino, and commanded him to drive
swiftly on without making an outcry.
Inside the vehicle the two robbers
were belaboring the bank messengers
over the head. Smith, one of the mes
sengers, is 81 years old, and he was
bleeding and almost unconscious
when the taXicab reached Park place,
a. few blocks north Wardell was
badly beaten about the head, but not
seriously hurt.
At Park place, the highwaymen
jumped from the taxicab, bearing a
tin box, which they had wrested from
the messengers and which contained
the currency. In a flash they had
sprung into a big black automobile,
which seemed to be awaiting their
coming, and were quickly lost in the
maze of traffic.

WRECK RELEASED 700 HOGS.
Residents Penned Them in Parlors
and Fake Detectives Make Haul.

Rochester, N. Y, Feb. ia local
comedy that beats "Pigs is Pigs
took another turn to add to it's ludi-
crousness. Wednesday night freight
wreck in the Western end of the city
released 700 hogs from the cars in
which they were being transported
and the porkers spread over large
section of the town. Residents saw a
chance to lay in a winter supply of
food and corraled the pigs, confning
them in the cellars and even par
lors.
To-day two men visited the west
side homes and claimed two large
wagon loads of hogs, under the state
ment that they were railroad de-
tectives. 1t has developed that the
alleged detectives were not in the
employ of the raiload. Police are
now looking for the two wagon loads
of pork.

Lyons Statement Printed.

Columbia, Feb. 12.-Dr. Olin Saw
yer entered an objection to the print
ing of Attorney General Lyons state
ment relative to the Black pardon
and what he thought of the COVER
nor's assigned reasons for granting
the pardon. Mr.. Sawyer said that it
appeared to him that every one who
had a grievance or "kick' on Gov.
Blease wanted it printed in the Jour-
nal. 1t would not be long before
magistrates and constables would be
sending their grievances to the
house, and ask that they be printed
in the Journal.
Mr.. Dobson moved that the mo-
tion of DR.. Sawyer not to print the
attorney generals statement be
tabled and the house by an over
whelming vote determined that the
letter be printed in the permanent
Journal. No division was called on
the matter.

LEAP YEAR WEDDINGS FREE.
Provided the Bride Made the Pro-
posal, is a Kansas Offer.

Hutchinson, Kan, Feb. 13.-Thls
advertisement is published:
Notice-In consideration Of this
being Leap Year, Judge G. V. Rick
seeker will perform all marriages
free of charge during the year 1912
in which the marriage proposal has
been made by the bride.
Il have a notion that woman
has just as much right to ask a man
to become her husband as a man has
to ask woman to become his wife.
I simply want to show my good will
and liberality to the young women
of Kansas who have the courage to
ask for husbands.
'This offer is bona fide and it
stands good to any girl in Kansas
who tells me she actually popped the
question. All I want to know from
the groom is that the girl is telling
the truth"
Judge Ricksecker thus explained
the advertisement. It may be men
toned that Judge Ricksecker can
perform marriage ceremonies with
neatness and dispatch. He had years
of experience as Probate Judge and
as Judge of the Peace. He holds
the latter Office at this time.
The records Of the divorce court
show that practically every marriage
performed by Judge Ricksecker has
been happy one. He announces
that he guarantees happiness and
joy to every couple he marries.
81 do not mean to take business
away from the Probate Judge or the
preachers" he said. "But I believe
some encouragement should be
given to the girls to take advantage
of Leap Year. 1t only comes once
every four years, you know"
Probate Judge J. M. Jourdan
would like to meet this offer of Judge
Ricksecker's by cut in the price OF
marriage licenses, but the law pro-
hibits him from doing so.

CRAZY NEGRO RUNS AMUCK.
Boss Gavin Terrorized the Cattle
Creek Section.

The Branchville Journal says Boss
Gavin, a young negro armed with an
old Springfield rifle, created consid-
erable excitement near Cattle Creek
camp-ground Friday afternoon of last
week. He was captured Saturday
morning after an all night chase and
was sent to Orangeburg where he will
be examined by lunacy commission.
Before he was captured Gavin beat
a small negro child almost to death,
shot twice at parties pursuing him,
and threatened to kill all who inter-
fered with him.
Gavin is about twenty-one years
old and worked on the farm Of Mr..
Edmund G. Dukes. The negro has
long been considered mentally weak
and it is understood that the negro
children of the neighborhood have
made it a practice to tease him. Fri
day while picking cotton in Mr..
Dukes's field several of the children
began teasing him as usual. Sud-
denly he knocked one of the children
down and beat him terribly about
the head and face with a piece Of
lightwood. The child, boy Of eight
years old, managed to escape from
Gavin and started running toward
Mr.. Dukes's house.
Gavin, wild-eyed and gnashing his
teeth, chased the boy and overlook
him a short distance from the house.
Throwing the child to the ground he
held him with one foot while he be-
gan beating him about the head with
his heel. Mr.. R. ]. Berry, a young
white man who was working nearby,
heard the cliild's screams and ran to
the negro and ordered him to let the
child alone. Gavin released the child
and ran off yelling to Berry that he
would return and Kill him. Later
Gavin returned from the woods with
the rifle.
By this time crowd of whites
and blacks had collected and gave
chase to the negro, who fired upon
them once and ran for the woods.
He came upon Joe Glover, negro,
and threatened him. Glover grasped
the rifle, but not before Gavin fired,
and the bullet tore through Glover's
coat grazing the flesh Of his right
side! Glover held on to the rifle,
however, and finally succeeded in dis
arming the madman. Gavin then dis
appeared in the woods where he was
found and arrested the following
morning He had stolen a box OF
rifle cartridges along with the rifle,
which he took from his father

Baptized in Icy Water.

Pittsburg, Feb. 11.-With the
thermometer registering four de-
grees below zero, 27 colored men
and women, recent converts to the
Mount Zion African Methodist Epis-
copal church of Brownsville, near
here, were Immersed in the icy water
of the Monongahela river to-day. The
immersions were witnessed by sew
eral thousand persons who shivered
on the river banks and huddled close
to fires built by small boys.
In order to get the ceremony un-
dar way it was necessary to cut a
hole in the ice. Carriages were in
waiting and as fast as the converts
came out of the water, they we're
wrapped in blankets and driven to
their homes.

the matter.

has been as firmly rooted over there
as here, we hope that Mr.. McLaurin
will be invited to address the Georgia
lawmakers. We believe that the ef-
feet of the 'spell'' will be the same
as it has been in Columbia, and, II
the opportunity presents in North
Carolina next winter, the result will
not be any different. By that time,
if not before, the tide of the new
idea will have gathered irresistible
force, and the combined power of it's
enemies will not be able to stay it for
moment.
In the meantime South Carolina is
committed. In spite of the fact that
there was no great row over the pas
sage of such an important measure by
such an overwhelming majority, no
man need suggest that it was done
without due consideration. Those
members who voted for the bill did
so because they knew the real sentl-
ments of their constituents, and even
if they had been opposed for other
than we'll defined principles, they
would not have dared vote otherwise.
Therefore it is up to all patriotic
people to stand together in the hon
est, earnest and intelligent admins
tration of this new law. Gentlemen
of the general assembly, South Caro-
lima still has no dearth of high-mlnd-
ed, able men, and it is up to you to
put them on guard-Yorkville En-
