BUCKAROOES MEET
WHITMAN TOMORROW

Tomorrow afternoon local fans and
fannettes will have their first oppor-
tunity of seeing Terry McKune's Buck
aroOes in action against an opposing
team. The fast team of Whitman
College will meet them at Roundup
Park and the game will serve as an
index to the standard of the Pendle-
ton bunch inasmuch as the collegians
have played a number of games with
the Walla Walla Bears.
AS evidence of the fact that the Mis-
sionaries are by no means weak op-
ponents is their game yesterday with
Bade's crew. The Bearns won but it
took them nine full innings to do it,
the score at the terminus being IL to
IN.
MeKune will probably try out sew
eral Of his pitchers against the rah
raA boys, but will reserve several
others fer the Sunday game against
Pilot Rock.

States Lived in Fear and Terror.
Portland, Ore, April 11.-Mrs. Lii
lian Elizabeth Bourne filed a suit for
divorce here against former Senator

inhuman treatment as general

though occupying the same apart

She alleges that she also lived in

SOUND THE CYMBALS.
TURNER WILL RETURN

Now let the Western Tri-state sea-
son open. Pendleton is ready and
the last doubt of success of baseball
in the city this year has been remov-
ed. Elmer Turner, niu skookum
rooter. will be back to lead his
mouthy cohorts in the assault upon
the goat of the other teams.
Turner left a short time ago for
the Alberta country and there was
woe and grief in local fandom, but in
a letter to Jake Welsh yesterday de-
clares that he has felt the call of the
bieachers and that he will leave the
land where he hears nothing but "God
Save the King" and come back where
the old familiar cry of Kill the UNI
pire" can cheer his soul.
No need to tell the baseball pub
lie who Turner is. He has made
himself heard so often above the
cracking of bats and the wild yelling
of horde of frenzied fans that his
voice, If not his face, is familiar to
every man. woman and child who has
ever occupied seat in the local ball
park. For 10, these many years he
has warmed a seat as near the firing
line as the cops would permit and
from first to last, regardless of the
fortunes of the game. his raucous
voice has cheered the local stalwarts
or disconnected their opponents. 9th
ers lose their pep but Turner goes on
forever. With a pair of leather lungs
like blacksmith's bellows and a wit
that has captured the angora of more
than one visiting player, he is a prize
asset to the management. bal
game in Pendleton without Turner'S
voice is like a strawberry shortcake
without rich cream. He is missed
that much.
Therefore the announcement tha
he will return comes like a beam o
joy to the local fans.

In gentle spring

The scrihes enthuse
And write their views
With faces wise and solemn.

OF aches or pains
They always throw a spasm,
They write a lot
OF tommyrot,
And rave like one who has en-.
But later on,
When spring is gone,
And scribes have lost the fever,
They turn his way
And coldly say:

CITY ENGINEER
WAS Chosen AS
WIRE INSPECTOR
HAS CHARGE OF The WORK
Of Wires Throughout The
Entire City

City Engineer Ansley now has
charge of the inspection of all of the
wires throughout the city. This power
was delegated to him recently by a
special ordinance. This ordinance
gives to the city engineer entire SUI
ervision and control in the matter OF
repairing, removal or other condition
of these wires.
Twenty-Five feet was fixed as the
clearance height for all electric wires
running along the streets. Any viola
ton of the ordinance is punishable by
the recorder in harmony with section
10 of the city charter, which is the
section delegating to this court its
authority to sentence convicted per-
sons to labor on the streets for a Pc
riod not to exceed sixty days, to
Imprisonment in the guard house for
period not exceeding thirty days, or
to impose fine not to exceed one hun
dred dollars, either or ALL in the dis
cretion of the court
The ordinance is as follows:
"Be it ordained by the Mayor and
City Council or Americas, and it is
hereby ordained by the authority of
the same, that the city engineer shall
be inspector of all wires on the stree
and alleys of the city of Americus and
shall direct any person, firm or corpo-
ration to repair or remove, lower or
elevate, any wires that he may con-
slider unsightly or dangerous to life or
property.
"Be it further ordained by the au-
thority aforesaid, that all electric wires
shall be properly insulated and kept
at regulation distance; all wires or
cables to have clearance of 25 feet.
"Be it further ordained by the au-
tAority aforesaid, that any person,
firm or corporation not complying with
the provisions of this ordinance shall
be punished upon conviction by the re-
corder of the city of Americus as pre-
scribed in Section 19 of the charter
BE it further ordained by the afore.
said authority, that all ordinances and
parts of ordinances in conflict here
with be and the same are hereby re-
pealed."

1t became manifest early yesterday
that Sheriff @. w. Fuller, one of the
three candidates for the position of
sheriff in the special election occ1s-
ioned by the death of Former Sheriff
w. H. Feagin, had a safe margin and
would come out a winner. There Were
indications just about as early in the
day that the bond issue for roads and
culverts had been loss. According to
returns last night Sheriff Fuller won b.
"a margin of about $50 votes.
In the local polling places and
throughout the county yesterday the
weather was favorable for the casting
of the ballots, and the voting was good
The day passed off very quietly at all
the precincts, each of the three candi-
dates for sheriff having been busily
engaged at the various precincts all
day. No returns from the out-of-towu
precincts on the bond issue were
available last night.
All figures given herewith are unoffi

VETERANS ASK
FOR A Change
IN The DATE
OF The STATE REUNION
Want it in October Instead
Of July

If the wishes of Camp Sumter, No.
642, United Confederate Veterans, are
given consideration, the Georgia state
reunion will be held in October this
year, instead of in July, as now sched-
uled, Action looking to a change in
the date for the reunion was taken at
the meeting of the camp here yester-
day 1t was pointed out that the two
reunion dates, that at Gettysburg, Pa j,
on July 1st to 9Th, and the Georgia re-
union in Brunswick on July 10th and
18th, would perhaps prove to the detri-
ment of the latter from the standpoint
of attendance.
Many Georgia veterans will attend
the Gettysburg reunion of the blue
and Gray" in July, and as their tick
cts will be extended, permitting the
privilege of visiting many of the old
battlefelds in Virginia they would not
return to Georgia in time, perhaps, to
attend the state reunion at Brunswick
"The fall is preferable for visit to
the seacoast, anyway" said veteran
in discussing the proposed change,
"and if the Brunswick committee will
let us come there in September or Oc'
tober, the latter month preferably, |
think the reunion would be more large
ly attended and greater success in
every way"
Adjutant H. D. Watts was instructed
by the local camp to write the Bruins
wick committee regarding the propos-
ed change of reunion dates, that ample
notice might be given the veterans of
the state generally, should the sug-
gested change be considered favorably.
