out for a walk with the brother of the
mortally hurt man to discuss the af-
fair The brother, AraZio Fernandez,
talked the thing over calmly with the
assailant, believing that he had him
in his power.
Wants Nap First
While strolling they met local con-
stable. Arazio Fernandez told him
that his companion had probably kill
ed his brother, while Gomez stood by
and listened to the conversation.
The constable remarked that it was
late and he was going home, and that
unless the wounded man was certain
to die it would be more convenient for
him TO postpone the arrest till he had
had a nap. Fernandez and Gomez
We're both willing. A few minutes later
Gomez gave his companion the slip,
apparently heading for Canada, and
Sheriff Tracy and posse from WASH

women were laughing over a comic
selection being played on a phono-

laughing at him, the witnesses say,
and finally asked Emilio Fernandez
to step outside. When they gotsi in the
open he drew and fred four shots, one
of which pierced the side of Fernan-

WaterviIle Will Have
No Trolley League

Little possibility that Waterviile
will have a team in the trolley league
this season is felt. Last year the
Elm City fans who were enthusiastic
enough to put nine on the field with
drew the team later when it was found
that the proposition would not be
paying one. The attendance was poor,
and the gate receipts insufficient to
cover the expenses of the game. This
discouraged all would-be hackers, and
now that there is a chance of putting
team into the race this year, the
fans and usual hackers of such a
proposition are skeptical about put
ting any cash down even as a partial
guarantee, and with the exception OF
the fraternal games such as were run
last summer, there will be little good
baseball in Waterville.
