President Pulford returned to the city
and refused to stand for the deal pro.
posed by st. Paul, whereby Jones was
to become the property of the Winni-
peg club in exchange for Johnny
Clothier, star third sacker Of the To-
cal brigade. The st. Paul club also
offered Thomas, a fast outfielder OF
the Little Saints, in trade and prom
ised Jones that the club would give
him the choice of any surplus players
next spring. Pulford could not see
the deal in the same light as Jones.
and considered that Clothier was more
valuable to him than the nag as
a deal is now pending for the genial
third sacker.
Jones Is anxious to stick in VIM

has started negotiations with ST. Paul
to let him out.
In the meantime Frank Kurke has
been appointed player-manager, and

quite likely that kurke will manage

A GOOD STORY

One of the best stories told by
Judge Bartlett, on whose plantation
the scene-is supposed to have been
enacted, is as follows:
Down in Georgia there. was plan
tation on which there was cabin
that had the reputation among the
,colored people of being haunted; but
ne of them named Nose scoffed at
ghosts, and publicly announced that he
wasn't "afeared of no ghosts,'' and
wasn't "afeared to stay in dat yah
house all night any night
Hearing of this, the owner Of the
plantation, who desired to rid the
place of its reputation, proposed to
Nose that if he would stay in the
house all night he would give him two
dollars and bottle of whiskey.
Nose agreed, and in spirit of bra
ivado, he stipulated that "Mars John
;.can jes' lock de do and take de key,
and when he KEN ovah in de mawnin ,
he will suah fn' Nose dah."
In the t~cnirg t"c:' went to :hc
abin shortly aften dark and placed
"a table with lamp on it in front
of the window, and then Marse John
ocke( the door, took the key, and
left Nose alone in the cabin.
During the night he got up looked
across and saw the light in the win.
dow, and in the morning went over to
let Nose out. Nothing but silence and
emptiness inside! The table. stood
where he had left it, the lamp was
still burning dimly in the morning
light; but the window was utterly de-
imolished, and outside were marks up
On the sod where someone had struck
he earth in rapid fight.
That afternoon he asked the colored
people about the plantation if they
had seen Nose. They said they hadn t
land that Nose was fool to stay in
" dat yah house,
The next day he made further in
quiry; but nobody had seen or heard
Of Nose. Q
Finally on the afternoon Of the
third day, being over on a remote part
OF the plantation, he saw in the dis
