grounds that no claim existed upon which the said Adams could trespass, because tb" original discovery had not been proved by the prosecution;
 "Whereas, in this mining district it is now impossible for the present owners or laymen of nine out of ten of the claims located in this district to prove actual dis covery upon short notice, or in any event without great expense because of the fact that the locators of the great majority of the carrier claims have left this precinct, or are no longer living in the territory of Alaska, with the result that in actions of criminal trespass owners CT laymen would be without protection of the law from those of the unprncipled, irresponsible and criminal element of this community who saw fit to relocate CT jump claims Tn this precinct:
 Now, therefore, it is hereby resolved That it is the sense of this meeting that the said George W Albrecht in ruling as to the necessity of proving actual discovery in such cases, deprived the operators of this community, owners and laymen, of all pro lection of the law, and left them at the mercy of every l0ating and criminal black mailer in the community.
 And it is further resolved, That in mak- ng that decision George W. Albrecht has shown that he is incapable of recognizing or fulfilling his duties as to protecting the property rights of respectable persons; has lost the confidence of the law abiding mem bers of the community; has deliberately encouraged claim jumping and extortion, and has promoted and put premium upon disorder, crime and the possible loss of life; and finally, that he cannot properly or efficiently fill the position of commissioner, and that the welfare of this precinct would be served best by his prompt removal from office"
 And whereas the testimony of many wit ne3ses of the trial referred to has created grave distIust in the minds of the people
 Now, therefore, we, residents of Otter precinct, in mass meeting assembled, re- quest that an Investigation be made of the charges embodied in these resolutions, and that such action be taken as seems wise in the premises.
 Passed: c. R. PECK, Chairman.

 The meeting then adjourned at 10: 80 o'clock p. m.

BILLY SUNDAY THINKS
 ARSON WAS SUPREME
Never Was Eastman Like Old Cap, in Opinion of Noted Ball Player
 Evangelist

| Billy Sunday, the evangelist, who was the feetest base runner in the game when he played right field for the Chicagos twenty-five years ago, was asked the other day whether the diamond stars of the present appeared to him to be more pro ficient than the great players of the past. Sunday replied:
 There never will be another batsman Ike Adrian C.. Anson He stood erect at the plate and with keen eyes he judged the good ones so cleverly that when he swung his bat nightly the ball either whistled past the infelders like shot or sailed over the heads of the outRelders. Year in and hitter in the league. All pitchers looked alike and all of them feared him.
 Speaking of pitchers, let me say that John Clarkson topped them all. He was the only pitcher ever saw who could throw overland and make the ball go down and then up. He used to wear his finger nail down to the quick in pitching that ball, and often his fingers were covered with blood
 Some of you boys talk about the squeeze rl.y' and other tactics that seem new to modern fans Bah We used to make these same plays twenty-five years ago, but we didn't have any fancy names for them. Four times that I can recall scored from second base on an infeld hit, which, as you know, must have been going some.
 We didn't wear any gloves in those days You fellows of course say the ball must have been softer than it IS now But let me assure you that the leather was as hard as a rock in my time and that the pitchers used to shoot 'em over the plate just as swiftly as at the present time.
 'Wel I remember how Clarkson, Jim Mccormick, Grasshopper Jim Whitney, Amos Rusie, Charley Radbourne and Can non Bail Crane could send the ball blazing over the panl In those days, you know, fouls did not count as strikes, and Mike Kelly was indirectly really responsible for the present rule. Kel used to stand at the plate and foul off twenty balls before he would hit safely or get base on balls In that way he tired out the best pitchers He could have fouled em off all day if neces- sary.
 five seen Ty Cobb, Iris Speaker, Milan and other great base runners of the present day, but they are no better than Bill Lange, Harry Stovey Mike Kelly, Jimmy Fogarty, Johnny Ward and others I could name. Eddie Collins and Evers are fine second b&semen, but Fred Pfefer, John Burdock, Fred Dunlap and Louis Bierbauer were just as good, if not better.
 Buck Ewing, Silver Flint, Charley Bennett, Dock Bushong and Jack Boyle were the great cstchers in my day. I've never seen Ewing's equal Baseball as business and sport has made wonderful progress, but I wish the fans who are sing
