Suspension Stands" johnson

Cincinnati, May 1S.-President B.
B. Johnson, of the American league,
on his arrival here today said he had
sent the following telegram to man
ager Jennings of the Detroit team:
"Cobb's suspension stands until the
matter Is fully Investigated. If teams
refuse to play that is a matter for the
club owners to make good on. Unl-
pire should have put the man out Of
the stand. Cobb had no right to at
tack bim."
President Johnson appeared griinly
determined to keep Cobb out of the
game until the matter had been fully
investigated. The matter Of the play
ers' refusal to play unless Cobb was
reinstated seemed to him to be of Sec
ondary consideration This be declar-
ed, was a matter for the club owners
to attend to.
Johnson said: Speaking of the
case unofficially, it looks as If Cobb
went away wrong in his actions. Oh
course, he may had great provocation
The fellow may have abused him just
as Cobb claims he did--but where are
the rules and what are they for?
| Cobb had but to appeal TO the um
pire. The umpire, upon Cobb's re
quest would have no option. He would
have had the rooter thrown out of the
ball park and that would have beer
the end Of the affair. What righ'
did Cobb have to rush to the stand
knock a man down and kick him with
his spikes?
i "Of course, must hear all the evi
dence on both sides, but on the face
of the returns, fail to see where Cobf
can be justified. AS to the fate of ths
players, in their refusal to particiats
in any further games, that is a mattel
for the club owners to make good on
1t is up to them They must taxi
: care of that part of the affair, and
can only enforce the rules concerning
fines inflicted on clubs for failure t
apear"
: President Lynch of the Nationa
, league declined to discuss the affair

DETERMINED TO PRESS
CHARGES.

The climax Of the aldermanic body
and city official investigation will take
place next Monday night when Alder
man Swartz will demand that City
Solicitor Tisdale be compelled to pre-
fer the charges against the council and

terview this morning stated he would
ask the council to direct the city solic-
itor to make the charges. The charges
will be made in writing and will be
specific, but Mr.. Swartz would not
say at this time who they would be di-
rected against. Alderman Swartz
states that the city solicitor acts in the
same capacity for the city as the coun-
ty attorney does for the county and
therefore he will ask the body to COM
mel Mr.. Tisdale to prefer the charges.
A lively time may follow when Mr..
Swartz attempts to get this motion
through as several of the members are
opposed to the investigation. IF they
block me in this matter" he stated, II
will take drastic action to get body
that has the power to investigate the
alderman and city officials Alderman
Schwartz is determined to force the
investigation and he states that he will
try every legal channel until the IN,
vestigation is made.

MEAD CUT
L FORT
5. { E. Calls on Union Pacific
Tor Help Out Of Another
Snow Blockade

Supt. Austin, of the 8. 8 E. Ry.,
has had a small force of men at
work at the snow in the Mead cut
for the past ten days, endeavoring
to shovel the snow out of it, but
they have failed to open up the
road. They have been badly hand.
icapped by the weather, as it has
been showing and blowing nearly
all the time since the 25th of Feb,
Mr. Austin, while doing the best
he could with snow shovels, has
been endeavoring to get a snow
pillow from the U. P. to open up
the road, but the U. P. had troub-
les of its own and had use for
every rotary in the possession of
the company. We learn that Mr.
Austin has secured the promise of
a rotary from the U. P. and that it
will be up within a short time and
open up the road.
In the meantime we are getting
our mail every other day. Post
master, Joseph NUM-, had made
application to the Department for
authority to hire a temporary
service and received permission to
hire some one to carry the mail be-
tween this place and Walcott
every other day, and at once en-
ployed Dave Richmond, who has
been making regular trips since
last week.
There being no great rush of
business we are managing to get
along very nicely with this service.
Some of us are inclined to kick
about it, but then we would pro-
badly kick if we were being hung.
So that don't count. Next sum-
mer, when the grass is green, and
the trees are in full leaf, and the
North Platte river is ready to
slop over it's banks, and the birds
aresinging their heads off and
the world goes merrily on, we we'll
not mind the little inconvenience
which we are now undergoing,

BIG AUTOMOBILE SHIPMENT

Again the record for the largest trainload of automobiles svsr

Automobile company, which broke all previous records NV sbirn;oa

Flint, Mich, has now shipped a trainload of ffty-fve cars. which Nos
ed through Denver Monday, March 4, and will move 10 rsnidIu ~,
practicable to- destination. '
This makes lo5 carloads of automobiles shipped by a single COM
pay tn the Pacific coast within a month. II affords tho ha. 49,.
sbe evidence of the favorable business and financial conditions .s,
Ing in the West. Both trainloads of machines were sold when ordarod
showing that the people of the coast have money and are No hooLi
ward about spending it. OF course this is by n q mssn oil .ha
automobiles that the coast people have purchased in that period hnt
it shows the largest shipment ever made by any COMPANY within q
month to any territory, and to that extent shows how favorable CON-.
dnGons in the West compare with conditions in any other sectop Of
the country.
The shipment of SO large a consignment of any single commodity
always attracts wide attention among people in the territory to which
the goods ar shipped, as well as among the people along the ronte
the shipment follows Thousands of people were out at various
points along the Union Pacific between Denver and Ogden to watch
the other train pass through in February. Interest vas aroused he.
cause it was the largest shipment of the kind ever made, and or A.
pecaly because it was a shipment of automobiles, for everybody.
owners of automobiles and those not yet fortunate enough to be in
that class, are interested in automobiles and everything connected
with them. The value of the former shipment was about $1,000 600.
The value of the present shipment Is considerably larger.

Attend Mothers Meeting

A notice of a Mothers meeting
will be found in another column
of this weeks Sun, which is called
for the purpose of discussing the
subject of what can be done toward
beneftting the children Of this
place. The care of children is al
ways a great responsibility and is
a subject that cannot be too fer
quently nor too fully discussed.
We hope every mother that can
will be present on that occasion
and take a part. The bringing Of
children into the world is but a
small part of a mothers duty-her

The Indig's

From the Sun of Mar. Is, 1889
The old adage that at is an ill
wind that blows nobody good"
was never more clearly exempli6ed
than at the meeting of the club last
Saturday evening 1t appeared
that the manager of Robert Pill
sons store was called on to donate
a ham to an enterta inment which
fell thru, and the ham was return
ed. 1t was again donated to public
service and again returned. de-
termined to sacrifice the ham upon
the altar of charity Mr.. henry
made the Indignant poor club a
present of it, and the meeting
Saturday night was in honor of
the feast in store for the discon-
tented crowd.
Genial Joe Hassett presided
with his shoe hammer as usual
and Pap Greene was chosen chief
carver. The proprietor of the
Gold Hill House had Yielded to
the fearful entreaties of a member
of the club and donated a couple
of loaves of bread, but no one
could be induced, for love or mon
ey, to lend either plates or knives
and forks, and even the kettle the
ham was boiled in was taken away.
So the ham was laid on a news
paper on the floor and while Pap
Green carved right and left the
members of the club gathered
around to enjoy the feast.
When they got thru and Joe
had cracked the bone and divided
the marrow, there wasn't a kick
coming, or a spark of Indignation
in any member of the club. You
might have dragged their souls
with a net and not caught enough
discomfort to make a good sized
frown. This is evidence that one
ham has more power to quell in
dignation and subdue the demon
of discomfort than a regiment OF
National Guards. Commend US to
a good size ham in future if riot or
bloodshed is imminent.

errand, who will be very glad of

journey just when spring work is

Fat Mems Game

Tuesday night the fat mems
Basket Ball team played a pick up
team to a score of 4 to 4. The
slim team that was to play laied
down the last minute and it was
necessary to pick up a team in hall
after the crowd assembled. 1t
was a are example of hidden pos
sibilities of talent along the line
of athletics. The graceful mo-
tions of Taylor and the cat like
movements of Bert Lee, held the
audience spell bound. Jensen
took charge of the ball in the last
half and ran for a touch down
clearing his way like a snow pillow
down the hall to the goul which he
made but which was not counted
owing to the fact that the empire
called it advancing with the ball.
At one stage of the game it took
two balls to keep them all in action
The regular team of men played
a practice game of ball which
showed splendid team work and
bills fair to win from Rawlins
Don't forget the big games to,
morrow and Saturday night.
