Melons Make Many
III; Poison Feared
Entire Car Lot of South Georgia
Product Condemned and Au-
thorities Take Sample.

AMERICUS, July 12.-As the result
of number of people having been
made i'll by eating watermelons ship
ped to a local dealer from a South
Georgia grower, the entire car Of mel
ons was condemned, while a sample
Of one of the melons has been sub
mitted to the State Board of Health
for analysis TO determine if the mel
ons contained poison.
The theory advanced here is that
the melons may have been treated
with injections of poison on account
of thieves, having later been shipped
out by mistake. Whatever the cause
may be, City Physician Chambliss is
endeavoring to lay it bare.

BASE BALL THUS FAR.

On Saturday Of last week our try
outs and a few of the regulars went
to Lyons to do battle with the
Leaguers there and returned with the
long end Of a to 0 score. On Satur.
day at home the same teams contest
ed with a result of 2 to 0 in favor
of the Lyons team.
The game was an interesting match
and was not won until the last man
was out in the ninth. Wilson work
cd Pitchers Wilder, Ewalt and Trim
BILE. OF these three it was not ap-
parent that any one of the trio had
much on the other two. McVey, a kid
pitcher on the Lyons team, went the
whole route for Lyons, with remark
able success, allowing only one hit,
which was drawn by ConbOy on his
third trip to the plate and after he
had struck out in his two previous
attempts. McVey is a cool young
ster, much given to stalling and kill
ing time, but he pitches good ball,
has good control and puts very few
of them in the alley and, if the man.
ager keeps a sufficient supply OF
chewing tobacco in sight for him, We
believe he will win ball games.
This week has been devoted to
hard daily practice-two and one-half
hours in the forenoon and the same
in the afternoon, until today (Thurs-
day.. There is now in progress at
the ball park the opening game OF
the season, between our team and
Lyons. Pitcher Brown, who was
slated to pitch the opening game for
the lovals had his arm severely hurt
in practice yesterday and Stauffer
is on the mound for the locals. Brown
will probably be out of the game for
several days which may or may not
mean hard luck to start with.
Our team goes to Salina for Fri
day, Saturday and Sunday games,
will rest on Monday and on Tuesday
occurs the big event of the season,
Booster Day and Pennant Raising, on
which day we expect to take the
measure of the Junction City team.

conducted in Hoisington and the body
brought to this city for interment.

there were present at the burial

son and a daughter from Denver, al
