Be Dickering Over Players.

New York, June 2.-Supposedly
well posted baseball writer's Of the
middle west keep Insisting that the
New York. Cincinnati and Chicago
clubs are soon to figure in a big three
cornered trade. They declare that
Jimmie Archer, catcher; Frank
Schultz, 9outf1elder, and Larry Cheney,
pitcher, are to leave thef Cubs; that
Outhe1der Red Murray, Infielder Fred
Brainard and Pitcher Ralph Stroud
are to be cast adrift from the Giants;
that Manager hortstop Charles Her
zog and Catcher Outf1elder Ivy Wingo
are to leave the Cincinnati Reds.
The plan, according to this rumor.
is that Murray, Brainard and Stroud,
together with Schultz will go to Gin
cinnati; that McGraw will get Archer
and Cheney and that Herzog and
Wingo will go to Chicago. Wingo,
who has been used in the outfield by
the Reds, would make up in meas
ure for the loss Of the veteran Archer
and Herzog would plug the shortfield
gap of the Cubs McGraw, it is
known, has been trying desperately
for. weeks to land a catcher of class.
1t is said that Jack Hendricks man
ager OF the Indianapolis American
association club, will succeed Herzog
as pilot of the Reds Hendricks has
been in Cincinnati lately and in con-
ference with August Hermann.
Hendricks is bound by long term
contract to his minor league berth,
but it is believed that he may have
made arrangements with President
McGill whereby he may accept the
promotion.

McGraw declared that Jimmy Archer
would be member Of the Giants be-
fore the end of the month. He de-
clared that he had had a letter to this
effect from the leader of the Giants.
McGraw told the writer's who accom-
panied his club during the recent
western tour of the Giants that he
would be delighted to obtain Archer,
but that he did not know how such
happy circumstance could be eff

ANOTHER NICE SNOW

Another nice snow fell last Friday
night in this vicinity and il is
thought that there was enough to
guarantee the wheat crop for an
other season. With wheat prices
soaring up to the highest notch of
recent years everything bids fair for
another successful season for Quay
county. Last year several Of our
farmers made more than enough
from their wheat crop TO pay for
their land and put them in pretty
fair circumstances financially. II
they can make money on sixty Ia
eighty cents per bushel they GER
tainly will make some this year nj
the prices they are bound to receive
for this years crop.

which amounted to about 500.
He left town but officers we're

badly shattered and he begged the
deputy to kill him.

other crimes and no doubt his leg

CLANCY WOULD EXCLUDE
BEEF FROM LIST

Mr.. Clancy is now preparing a bill
allowing sale of farm products, in
Guiding the meat of the hog. An
other bill. which has the same OBJ
ject in view, but which also includes
beef among the farm products that
may be sold, will be introduced in
the house by Representative Welch,
of Quay county. The bill being pre-
pared by the assistant attorney gen
eral excludes beef on the ground
that such liberty might encourage
cattle stealing. Mr.. Welch believes
that the present laws against cattle
stealing can be invoked effectively
TO discourage any tendency toward
clandestine butchering that his mea.
sure might stimulate, and holds that
the farmer who butchers cattle now
and then should have the right Ia
sell the surplus beef.

.SA|z SALAzAR IS FOUND
DEAD IN CABIN NEAR
MESA REDONDA

Saiz Salazar, a well-known Mexi.
can, was found dead in cabin
about II miles southeast Of town
Monday morning. He had several
bruises about his head. neck and
body which gave evidence of foul
play.
Salazar, who worked at the X. G..
Bar. left town Friday afternoon on
horseback to go to the home of his
father. who lives near the Mesa Re-
donda. His wife was there and he
intended to spend several days out
there. His horse was seen roaming
in a pasture some distance from the
main road and upon investigation II
was found that the horse was that
on which Salazar left town. His
brother and father entered the cabin
and found the young man lying dead
on the floor. Neighbors were sum-
moned and as he was known to have
been troubled with his heart nothing
was thought of his sudden demise.
The furniture was overturned and
evidence of a struggle was quite
plain. but still there was no suspi-
cion aroused until the body was
brought to town Tuesday afternoon
and more thorough examination
made.
A coroner's jury was summoned
several witnesses examined, and the
decision was that SalaZar came Ia
his death by the hand of parties un-
known to the jury. and further in.
vestigation was recommended.
One theory was that he had been
struck on the side of the mead with
brass knucks and fell from the horse
to the ground, striking on his head
breaking his neck and dying instant.
ly. He was then strapped to the
horse and taken TO the house and de-
posted on the floor, the horse un.
sses!ed. furniture torn up and over
turned, his watch was on the floor
near the body and his pockets turn
ed wrong side out. His wrists were
marked as if he had been tied with 9
rope or strap and other marks bear
out the above theory. A few drops
of blood were found on the door cas-
ing and the dead mans clothing wa:
dirty and mussed.
Parties who knew Salazar sale
that he was subject to fits while hav
ing spells with his heart and think
he died while in one of these spells
but they cannot account for the
marks on the wrist and head, so fur
ther investigation may bring t.
light the facts.
