time, still unarmed, and was shot to
death by the negro with shotgun,
the load taking effect In the neck and
practically severing the head from the
body.
Blood hounds were secured dsT5yxsd
in the hunt for the negro, but did no
good.
Sheriff T. G. Carrot stated this
morning that in response to a re-
quest from the sheriff of Montgomery
County he sent Palmer to, jackson
over the Y. & M. v. Sunday for. safe
keeping. Just when his preliminary
trial will be held cannot be stated.
It is stated here by persons in po-
sition to know that a mob, the size Of
which is described as being from 30
to 300, from Winona, visited Green
wood yesterday with the purpose in
view of taking Palmer away from the
officers and lynching him. Whether
they decided to allow the law to take
its course or got here after the negro
was sent to Jackson could not be
learned.
There was so much secrecy about
the handling of the negro that those
who knew Of the presence and the
intentions Of the mob were uncertain
this morning as to the outcome Of the
visit.
Conditions in Winona Saturday
night were much different from on
other nights. Few negroes were in
evidence upon the streets and little
could be heard in the way of CONVEX
sation upon any subject among people
Of that race. The main subject of
conversation among the white people
was the murder and the failure to cap
ture Palmer.

Baseball has made such a tremen- dous hit in Butte that the pask is not big enough and additional seating space is to be put in on the third base line The crowd overflowed the field the opening day, and also on Sunday. The brand of ball seen there has not been good, so far but the weather has been far more favorable to football than for base ball, and the real fans are making allowances. Last Sunday, week ago yesterday. Helena sent an ex- cursIon of 800 fars to Butte for the game. Helena would like to get a franchise in the league, and they say they would support a team.

GOOD BASEBALL MATERIAL NOW
 ON THE ISLAND

lItdQWtl attAla tO AANt llNuhg of material on hand for a good base ball team for this summer, if the dope sheet does not lie. In a game played recently between @ Treadwell team and one for the Douglas High, among the players .n the line were 'Coblentz, Pittman. Kertis, Worth, and Dutton, all first team men, and who were in the regular line up last year. with the exception of Cob lentz.
 Coblentz is good catcher lack ing a little in experience maybe and not big league material, but about as good as the average man. lie did not make the first team last year because "Old Man" Lewis, league player and all round baseball man, was imported to offset King of Ju. neau.
 Pittman is we'll known here. having pitched for the Island aggregation for several years and he is good. consistent performer. He uses his head and is steady in a pinch. hay ing pulled himself out of many bad holes in former games against Ju. neau He started twice last year but did not show up well. having just arrived from North Yakima. and with his arm out of condition. he could not hold the Juneau slug gers down There is no reason why Putnam. if in condition and with an average team behind him should not win his average number of games played.
 Kertis. the lengthy first baseman. needs no introduction to the Chan nel fans He is a star in covering his position and is a consistent and heavy sluggear Nuf sed
 Steady old Worth is in the game. He Is known as the terror of the Juneau fans because they never were able to tell with any certainty what Worth was going to do. He usually put one over the center field fence for a homer He Is the heaviest hitter on the Treadwel team He Ifs fast and last yeer was tower of strength for the Treadwell team in right field He will probably play third base this year.
 Fast little Dutton, who played third base last year will cover the short stop position this year. He is a brainy ball player. He is fast as chain lightning and is a steady and heavy hitter. having made sev- eral home runs last year and also usually landed on one for at least one base He is a fast base runner and there were very few balls got through third base last year wlth Dutton on the bag.
 Jack Johnson will probably also be in the game and needs no discus. sion beyond saying that he is well known to all fans. He Is fast on his feet is corker of fielder. and Is a heavy hitter and is also a good pitcher, using his head at all times. he is usually able to out.guess the op. posing batter.
 Other material on the Island is unknown to the sporting Editor Of the Empire. but needless to say there are some good ball players working at the big mines who will be a cred 1t to the team and fill all of the remaining holes in a creditable man. ner. With the players mentioned above 1t does not seem as If itI should be an awfully hard matter for the Island boys to turn out team which would compete very favorably with the Juneau bunch or any other team they might elect to play against.
