LYMAN COUNTY RUsTLER
TO NEBRASKA PRISON

Murdo, S. D.-The mystery Of the
Whereabouts of John Mann, a noted
cattle 'rustler'', who several years
ago escaped from the Lyman county
jail, and for whom a persistent
search had been made throughout
the northwest, was solved yesterday
when the Lyman county officials
were advised that Mann had just bee
sentenced to a term in the Nebraska
penitentiary following his conviction
on the charge of cattle rustling com
mltted in that state.
For many years Mann was an UNI
desirable resident of Lyman county.
While living in the county he was
implicated in wholesale thefts Of
cattle and horses and finally was ar
rested and lodged in the Murdo Jail.
One night some OF his friends aided
him in making his escape from Jail,
and nothing had been heard of him
until the information was received
yesterday that he had been sentenced
TO a term in the Nebraska peniten-
tiary. ..,,s-aj

game, with the exception of the first
period.
Creighton missed her chance to
win in the last few minutes of play.
Tamisea, on the last play, dropped
back for a drop kick. The ball rose
from the 40 yard line straight for
the middle of the goal posts, swerved
and dropped fully a foot outside. This
was the climax of the hard luck in
which the local team played. Once
Creighton drove the ball within a
yard of the Coyotes goal for the
tally which would have meant the
game, but a misdirected forward
pass sent the ball to the center OF the
field.
Creighton's only score was the re-
suit OF a sensational forward pass.

Whether it was the fact that the COM
mittee savored too strongly of the re-
dictionary, or whether it was the
steadfast determination of prOgressiveS
to adhere to Instructions nc, to con-
slider affiliation, the plan advanced by
the committe met little success. 1t met
so little success, in fact, it was not
even opposed. The idea appeared so
ridiculous to the two progressive con-
fereeS that when a report was made
back to an executive committe at nine
o'clock last night, that body turned it
self into a regular "old liner meeting.
1t got so reactionary all of a sudden
that Ned Creighton, seeing no hopes
of that desperately needed affiliation
left the meeting.
All through the meeting there was
demonstrated an odd eagerness to get
together and a strange fear that if af-
fiiation-or some other plan-failed,
there would be little chance of ousting
the "scoundrels who are now laying
this state waste with taxes and things"
These quoted words are Mr.. Morri-
sons.
A proposal by Hugh Daggs included
sharing the identity of the two par
ties getting together a onpolitical
committee of ten progressives and ten
republicans, led by an umpire to be
selected by the two bodies, all to meet
at Phoenix week from this night.
Then the state was to be campaigned
for bi-party ticket. He didn't call it
a non-partisan ticket, for that would
have sounded too much like the pro-
gressive proposal, the only positive
proposal made by representatives of
the latter party. Said Tom Molloy,
I'VE are authorized by the leaders of
the progressive party to make no talk
except for non partisanship and this,

The prOgresSives were to have taken
no active part in the conference, of
course, but when this peculiar COM

is BASEBALL A GAME
OR A SPECTACLE?

An anonymous staistician furnish
es a contribution of figures to the
ChicaEo Tribune which raises the
legitimate issue whether or not base
ball is really the great American
game, in the sense in which that
term is now used The approximate
correctness of the figures is vouched
for by Hugh Fullerton, accepted as
a great authority on baseball. In
deed M Fullerton is the man who
discovered inside baseball the
neutral zones and other things of
that kind which had heretofore
passed unnoticed by those who mere
IL follow the game for a livelihood
and acquire their technique largely
by instinct, coupled with incessant
practice.
Here are some of the figures: Not
one American in fifteen, over the age
of 81 wears, can catch tossed bali
at distance of fifty feet once in
three times without bunging up two
fingers. Not one in twenty-th'ee,
batting ''fungo" flies, can hit the ball
more than once in three attempts,
and not one in thirty nine can hit

BRIDGING THE HUDSON

Efforts to put life into the scheme
for an interstate bridge between
New York and New Jersey meet
with little public encouragement The
first and chief difficulty is to dem
onstrate the need of a structure of
which the preliminary estimates
place the cost at s52,OOOOOO OBJ
viously there are too many ways in
which that huge sum of money could
be put to better uses
If the bridge were located at Fifty
seventh street. it would serve only
a limited class of traffic, principal
ly devoted to the ends of pleasure
For that reason alone it would be
primarily minor convenience. not
necessity. The crowded paths of
commerce lie farther south, in the
vicinity of the North river ferries.
If the ferry service is Inadequate, the
better way would be to augment it
ty building one or more tunnels
where the demands of business Jus
tify it.
Engineers estimate the cost of a..
tunnel at s11000,000 about one fifth
the cost of the projected interstate
bridge. In maintenance and repairs
it would be relatively far cheaper.
From practical standpoint. the
interstate bridge, as planned by its
promoters, would be costly and
spectacular luxury, appealing far
more TO the eye than to the pocket
of New York,-New York World.

1921 aces had been allowed out of
the ten thousand available acre feet
of water for perishable crops but
only about 1000 acres have made

The matter of the account of the
Portland Cement company was
