THIEF SNATCHES WATCH.

George F. Wagner, $40 Powder
street. a fireman on the Texas and
Pacific railroad, in stopping to greet
one of his friends, lost a valuable
watch Thursday afternoon. The
watch was snatched from Wagner's
pocket and the thief made good his
escape after Wagner had chased him
several squares. Wagner was stand
ing at the corner of Howard avenue
and Rampant street, when a Texas
and Pacific train pulled into the de-
pot.
Wagner had just started a CONVEX
sation with the engineer of the train
when he felt a tug at his vest pocket
and looked around in time to see his
watch disappearing out Rampant
street, dangling from the hand of the
thief. Wagner declares that the man
who relieved him of his watch was
at one time employed as a brakeman
on the Texas and Pacific railroad, but
could not remember his name.

LEAGUE
 DROPS TWO CITIES
Kansas City and Buffalo Federal Baseball Clubs will go Other
 Cities Coming Year.

INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 1O.-The
 annual meeting of the directors of the Federal Baseball league was held in Indianapolis yesterday when it was decided to cancel the franchise of the Kansas City and Buffalo teams.
 The Kansas City team will go to | New York, where the Federal lea que has secured grounds and will en-
 deavor to share the patronage next
 year with the other big leagues. The disposition of the Buffalo team is un- decided.
 The Kansas City team finished the season as a big loser although it be- gan the season as one of the most popular teams in the United States. For some reason, which the direc- tors of the Federal league were un- able to determine, the patronage of the Kansas City Federals began to dwindle, although the team was play ing good ball. Similar conditions prevailed at Buffalo, but as the lat ter city has a larger population upon which to draw the Federal teams supporters were not so hard hit as at Kansas City, where the manage ment lost thousands of dollars.

HIGH SCHOOL ADMITTING
 CONTEST BEGINS TODAY

The first of the Valdez Mercantile company's advertisements in the Ad- writing contest among the pupils of the Valdez high school is printed in this issue of the Prospector. This enterprising company has offered two prizes, one of $1O and another of $5, for the best written and best display ed advertisement, and the ads of the store are sure to be of more than usual interest while the contest lasts.
 The copy of the ad. in today's pa per was prepared by Thomas Selby, and a new advertisement will appear in the Prospector each day until all the contestants have had an oppor- tunity of showing their skill in at tracting attention and convincing purchasers that the Valdez Mercan- tile is the store to patronize.
