GAINESVILLE
ST. CLOUD MAY GET PENNANT
Central Minnesota Baseball League
Purse for 1915 Winners Still
Being Contested For.

The disposition Of the $3.50 purse
hung up by the Central Minnesota
Baseball league last year has not been
awarded to the winners of the 1915
pennant for the reason that both Long
Prairie and St. Cloud claim the bunt-
ing. The first of the week President
A. E. Dubeau, of Sank Centre, took
the matter under consideration again
ir an effort to settle the controversy,
award the purse and clear the decks
for action the coming season. After
studying every phase of the situation
it simmered down to the two forfeited
games which Long Prairie had sched-
u'ed with Alexandria and Melrose.
Both are claimed by the Long Prairie
club, yet question arises over their
legality. President Dubeau has sent
letters to Secretary Willard at Osa-
kis, who holds the money, and Man
ager Reichert at Long Prairie, ex-
planning his action and giving
Long Prairie ten days to start legal
action if they choose. Following is
President Dubeaus' letter as sent to
Manager Reichert:
Sank Centre, Mimi, Mar. 7, 1916.
Mr.. j. l. Reichert, Long Prairie.
Dear Sir: l have carefully con-
sidered the claims made by the
arrangements of the St. Cloud
and Long Prairie base ball teams

ers-ScOre So to 6.

The Wanted GAINESVILLE team has
passed into history as a false alarm.
The squad appeared in Sank Centre
Friday from parts hitherto unknown
in local basket ball chronicles and
were treated to the grandest little
drubbing in the years record. The in
vaders were somewhat handicapped by
the slippery floor, but not enough to
account for the score, 58-6. The Bar
nesville boys came out of the contest
with a clean record, innocent of fell
goals, all their six points being made

league and I believe St. Cloud to
L. o~%s%1ol 10 oo,I fo,. tho

league and I believe st. Cloud to
be entitled to said purse for the
following reasons The two games
played between Long Prairie and
Alexandria, and Long Priarie and
Melrose cannot be allowed; the
game claimed by Alexandria, as
forfeited by them, was, in fact,
never forfeited by any umpire.
The game played by Long Prairie
as forfeited by Melrose cannot be
deemed a forfeit game to Long
Prairie as neither Melrose or
Long Prairie appeared on the dia-
mond to play said game and no
umpire forfeited the game to
Long Prairie. My decision is not
one of partially, in any sense OF
the word, but based upon an in
depreciation of the National rules
of baseball of 1915, which you
are aware were adopted at the
inception of the league in its con-
stitutiOn.
l am notifying Mr.. Willard of
of Osakis to forward purse to st.
Cloud after ten days from date
hereof unless you take legal ac-
ton to obtain same.

A CORN CONTEST FOR KIDDIES
School Children Given Opportunity to
Compete for Handsome Cash
Prize This Summer.

William A. Boerger, superintendent
of Stearns county public schools, an
nounces that an individual corn con-
test among the school children of the
county, which had been under contem-
plation for some time, will materialize
this summer. p. R. Thielman of St.
Cloud, who on numerous occasions has
shown splendid spirit Of cooperation
with school authorities where the in
terests of farmer boys and girls are
concerned, has made the contest pos
sible by offering 500 in cash prizes
for corn contest among the school
children of Stearns, Benton and Sher-

from free throws. They were clearly
outclassed at all points.
The feature of the game was the
Sank Centre team work. Of the eight
men who took part in the excitement
seven counted goals from the field.
Pangburn starred in the point getting
with ten field goals. Wagner realized
the ambition of his career when he
tipped one in from the jump after
"held ball." Lyman had the range
finder on his old loop shot adjusted to
a hair. He is the only man on the
team who has adopted the profession
al style exclusively.< The defense of
Hennemann and Lee was alright.
Lee played brilliantly in the guard ,po-
s:tion, 7caging four shots while refus-
ing his forward even a consolation
count. Of course all this showed uo
to good .advantage*in a one-sided
game, but Borman,s pupils displayed
class that would give any team on the
schedule food for thought. During the
second half, Segers went in for Pang-
burn, Fish for Lyman and D. O'Gara
for Hennemann.
The visitors departed Saturday for
Melrose where they were again de-
feated, 29-12.
For variety of reasons the attend
ance this year has fallen far below the
usual mark. Sank Centre has the rep
utation of being the best basket ball
town in this part of the state-the en-
wy of the managers-bu has failed
to live up to it. Tomorrow friday
the Glenwood team comes for the last
game of the season. Every friend of
the game in the city is requested to
be among those present, to help the
best team win and to aid in pulling
the Athletic Association out of the
financial hole. The lineup in Friday
nights game was as follows:

THOMAS TAYLOR is
HELD FOR MURDER.
Coroner's Jury Finds That "W. HI.
McAbee Came to His Death by
GunshOt Wounds in Hands of

McAbee Came to His Death by
GunshOt Wounds in Hands of
Thomas Taylor"
The coroner's jury which sat at
the inquest over the body of w. Hen
ry McAbee, who was shot in front of
his homo Saturday night, returned a
verdict to the effect that he came to
his death by gunshot wounds in the
hands of Thomas Taylor.
According to the testimony, the
shooting occurred in front of
McAbee's home, on Duncan street.
in the Spartan mills village, about
1850 o'clock Saturday night. The
men were seen together about 9
o'clock, and seemed to be on the best
of terms. They left Bratton Ham
mett's store, but separated, Taylor go
ing to his home and McAbee to the
home of Mrs. Celia Fleming. Taylor
later appeared at the Fleming home
an9frr'f4ested McAbee to pay debt.
~. Filming ordered the men away
and they left, going in the direction
of McAbee's house, which is next door.
Two young men-Cephus Strange and
Allen Fine, of Spartan mills-were
with Taylor. According to their tes-
timony, they saw Taylor draw his pis-
tol, when they were about five steps
from the front steps of McAbee's
house, and fire. They ran away, they
said, when the first shot was fired,
but heard four others.
Three Shots Took Effect.
When the body was examined, it
was found that only three of the shots
took effect, either of which, the at
tending physicians stated, would have
been sufficient to have caused death.
The pistol used was 80 calibre po-
lice special, but owing to the close
range at which it was used, the
wounds appeared to have been from a
much larger gun.
Five witnesses were examined at
the inquest, which was held in Floyd's
undertaking establishment Sunday
morning-Mrs. Celia Fleming, Sam
McAbee, Cephus Strange, Allen Fine
and Bratton Hammett. All agreed
hat Taylor was under the influence
of whiskey, but no evidence was in
troduced that McAbee was intoxi-
Gated
| Taylor in County Jail.
Thomas Taylor was committed to
the county Jail Immediately after the
inquest. His attorneys, Wyche &
Foster, announced yesterday that ap-
plication for bail would be made in
a few days.
| The slain man was buried at Bethel
church, near Boiling Springs, yester-
day at l o'clock. The deceased is sur
Ivived by brother, Sam McAbee, and
two sons, VIII and Fred McAbee.-

The Fairforest chapter, d. A. R.,
which was organized several months
ago, has done some very effective work
in preserving historic places for this
county. The latest effort on their part
is reclaiming the old cemetery, known
as the Unionville cemetery, two miles
below town. This plot was decided to
the elders of the Presbyterian church
by James E. Ellis as the following
deed will show. The Revolutionary
heroes buried in this cemetery are to
have markers placed at their graves,
these being furnished by the govern
ment but placed by the Daughters.
