stowsky, As years old, contributing
editor Of the Morning Star, Polish
publication, which, he says, he found
ed in Cleveland, "a years ago, was ar
rested last night in his home on the

sending four annoying and abusive let
tiers to President Wilson at Washing
ton.
William J. Flynn, chief of the secret

letters complained that the President
and other Government officials were
in a league to do him harm. Chief
Flynn said that he believed the man
to be harmless.
When brought to police headquar-

being prosecuted. He talked incoher-
entity. He said that he had contribut-

BOAT LOAD OF

Railroad 'Sleuth Overtakes
Thieves on River, but They ?

FRISCO CARS ROBBED
OF METAL LAST WEEK
Detective Solves Mystery But
Misses Thieves Think They
Are in Cape.

Frisco Detective Joe Vinson surpris-
ed band Of brass thieves at Silica
Pits, 20 miles north of this city, We'd
nesday night, who, in their scramble
to escape arrest, ran away and left
behind a large quantity of stolen
brass which they had loaded on a gas
oline launch preparatory to leaving
the scene of robbery.
Mr.. Vinson failed to capture the
thieves, but was so close upon them
that when they fled in the darkness,
they left their coats and hats in the
boat with the stolen goods, and he took
possession Of the entire outfit, which
he has since turned over to the COM
pany.
About week agoia number Of cars
standing in the yards at Silica Pits
were stripped of their brass, which
was successfully carried away. These
yards have been watched carefully
since, in the belief that the robbers
would return at an early date.
Mr.. Vinson boarded a train for
Silica during the night and upon his
arrival began q quiet investigation. to
ascertain whether or not any of the
railroad property had been disturbed.
He soon discovered the work of the
brass thieves and among other depre-
dati0ns he found that merchandise
cars had been broken into and large
quantities of goods had been removed.
He then proceeded to make an 'inspec-
ton along the river bank to see if he
could locate the marauders or discover
any clue that would assist in their
apprehension.
As he neared the waters edge he
could hear the voices of two men in
earnest conversation, and could also
hear the rattle of the chain by which
the boat was bound as it was dragged
against the rocky shore. He hid be-
hind a boulder in his effort to get
sight Of the men, but as they were
concealed by a small ciump of bushes
that stood between his hiding place
and where their boat was tied, he at
tempted to shift to a more advanta-
geoUs position, when a Tock'was l0Os-
ened under his feet and rolled with a
noisy clatter down the bank and into
the water.
The noise frightened the men, and
an instant later Mr.. Vinson heard
them running away. He attempted to
overtake them, but they made their
escape in the darkness.
When he came upon their boat, he
found it in readiness to depart. The
stolen cargo with which it was loaded, !
composed of brass and merchandise. |
was worth several hundred dollars
The launch was roomy and substan-
tial, and was equipped with power
full engine, capable of carrying the |
pirate craft at high rate
of speed.
The yards at Silica Pits were search
ed carefully, but no trace of the BAN
dts could be found. Mr.. Vinson wired |
to this city to be on the lookout for
the coatless and hatless thieves, but
they have not yet been able to locate
them.
1t is believed, however, that the men
came to the Cape and that they are
hiding in this city at the present time.
The boat containing the stolen goods
has been seen here on various occa-
5ions, but is believed to belong in
Cairo.

Bridges Mails A

If two-cent stamp will carry a let
ter across the country, Capt. Harry
w. Bridges thought one hundred
stamps would deliver six dressed
chickens to his wife, who is in New
York State. He has since learned that
he was mistaken.
Mrs. Bridges, who IS in New York
with an invalid aunt of Capt. Bridges,
is very fond of chicken, especially
those of frying size. Capt. Bridges
thought he would give her pleasant
surprise by sending six large spring.
ers. He locked up six hefty ROSTERS
of the yellow leg variety.
Corn, bread and even cake compos-
ed their menu three times each day
for week. At the end Of that period,
the chicks had become so fat that they
could only stand long enough TO finish
their meals. After each feast they re-
tired to shaded corner of the coop
and went to sleep.
Capt. Bridges ordered one of his
servants 70 execute the six birds and
prepare them for trip by mail. In
the envelope containing the dressed
fowls went ali assorted lot of home
grown vegetables. In order that they
would lose no time, Capt. Bridges car
ried the package to the postoffice.
where he stamped it and told the clerk
to slip it on the first train leaving for
the East.
The package departed on its long
Journey just as the weather became
warm. When It reached St Louis, the
postal clerk thought he recognized the
odOr Of garlic, but passed the bundle.
From that point it was hurried to
New York.
The postman rang the door bel!
strenuousiy, and when Mrs. Bridges
hurried to ascertain the identity of the
person with his thumb on the bell, she
found a gentleman clad in the regular
L. S. uniform, with his head in the
air and apparently anxious to call at
the next house.
She removed the package hurricdly
into the reception hall, while little

the blame for the financial troubles
of the minor leagues at the doors of
B. B. Johnson, president of the Ameri-
can league, and other "big fellows" in
baseball. Indirectly, Tearney is quoted
as saying that these fellows started a
sort or minor panic by predicting
early in the season that a big per cent
of the small circuits would be ready
to shut up shop about July 4.
However, the Herald article brings
out the point that Johnsons predic-
ton, regardless of the motive behind
1t or the agencies that were brought
to bear, has come or is coming true.
To prove this the Herald says: "They
are talking about transferring fran
chises in the International league, one
of the big minors. The Southern
Michigan and the Rio Grande leagues
passed out of existance this week. The
Western league cut big slice off it's
executive officers salaries, and the
American association, the biggest
minor is busy amputating players
salaries. Several Southern circuits
have gone to the graveyard and three
clubs in the Bi-State league quit early
this week."
The article goes on to discuss the
troubles of the Three 1 organization
and winds up with the following
significant enigma:
when President Tearney was
asked for an explanation he would
make no other reply than this:

Yesterday the Savages went into the
second division. If they are the high
think they are, they won't besmirch
their regulations by staying there.
Commenting on the Savage victory
last Wednesday,, Des Moines paper
says that Animal Dashner committed
about every crime known to a base
ball box score. But DASH can be
that kind of criminal all he wants to
as long as he wins games by the score

! However, there are those who doubt
that Kansas intends to take the lead
in playing college games on the Sab
| bath.
George Barrett. one of washburn's
old stars who has another year in
school and who would be eligible to
play in Kansas Conference games this
fall, will not be in school this year. At
present George is laboring to make the
nights in Topeka brighter and he will
probably continue to do 50 throughout
the winter.
Animal Dashner holds the BOBBY
batting prize of the Western league.
He is left off the average list this
week entirely. If he continues the rest
of the season to swing the ash like he
has been doing he ought to break a
record. There is even a possibility
that he will drop into fractions, and
at the end of the season his hitting
record may read something like
900 1-6 per cent.
