orable one. Several big deals, which
we're the surprises of the baseball
rialto, and the new ownership of sew
eral of the clubs and the coming Of
the famous Fielder Jones back into
the younger major league, were some
of the things which promised to keep
the fans talking.
Ban Johnson, president of the Amer
lean league, said that with the base
ball war over and all the clubs in his
| circuit strengthened and more evenly
balanced than in years, he expected to
| see one of the best years the game
| has ever had He said the sale of
| Speaker to Cleveland would make that
club a contender and would also even
up the league.

Mckay MYSTERY uNsoLvEo
Sheriff Lien Returns Convinced That
John Mckay is Drowned.

Sheriff Lien returned this noon
from Susie 1slaad having spent So
veral days in that vicinity investiga-
ting the mysterious disappearance
OF John Mckay. He learned that
Mckay and Falkner quit fishing on
December 18th last aud after set.
tling up their accounts, Mckay left
in his skiff on the following day for
his own home on an island less than
half mile away, intending to lift a
couple nets on the way.
At McKay's home he found no
evidence Of his having been there
for a long time, goods piled up on
and around the stove, and the bed
showed no signs of having been
used. His cooking utensils were all
ship-shape and it looked as if he had
not lived there for long time and
had only been there to get some ar
ticles he wanted from time to time.
Sheriff Lien believes that Mckay
is drowned and that the BODY will
be washed up on the shores of one
of the islands in the spring unless
tho current has carried tho body too
far out into the open lake.
