The usual crowd of fans filled A.

 While there were a considerable number of runs which can be directly attributed to errors, the success of the winners In both games was the result of good stick work combined with clever base running. The North . ern Lights and Pirates came up first with the former at bat A. Lomen toed the scratch, slammed out il hot one and was nabbed at the initial sack; Hackel went to the bench on a short one to center and c.

But will they sueeoedi Will
this present grand jury do the
bidding Of the pernicious powers
Of the papacyi IL seems very un-
certain. However. IL is said that
the foreman Of the grand jury is
a violent partisan Of Copeland,
Ryan and the other defendants
and may be expected 20 do his
best 10 bring in the indictment de-
mandcd. Perhaps he was ap-
pointed with this end in view.
This unprecedented action on
the part of Judge Lyttleton, com
ing as il does on the heels Of his
arbitrary act in changing the
venue OF the Black murder case
90 Galveston, a Roman Catholic
stronghold, has aroused the in
dignation Of the citizens of Mar
shall TO a high pitch. They feel
that they have already suffered a
hogs plenty at the hands of this
bunch Of holy bone venerators.
Lyttleton seems TO have entered
his prod in a dangerous hole and
may run something out that will
put him up a tree in the minds Of
his fellow citizens.
Many think, however. that the
judge has seen the handwriting on
the wall announcing the end of
his political career and that he is
playing the part of the unjust
steward: making friends of the
mammon of unrighteousness, that
when he is turned out they may
receive him into everlasting habi-
tations.
In the above connection IL may
be stated that the only Roman
Catholic member Of the grand
jury now sitting at Marshall was
arrested by the sheriff a few days
ago for flourishing a revolver in
a threatening and careless man
ner in a cleaning and pressing es-
tablishment.
The Black murder has caused
history to be written that is any
thing hut a credit TO Rome and
her power, not only in Marshall,
but in the nation.

Judge Lytileion Of Harrison
County Tex, has eopened tie
Marshall Hotel tragedy by de-
manding that the grand jury now
IN session bring in an Indictment
against Clarence =. Hall who shot
and killed one knight Of Colum-
bus and seriously wounded an
other at the time William Black
was murdered.
The conduct Of this Judge will
appear more remarkable when we
remember that two former grand
juries, composed Of the best citi.
zens of Harrison county, refused
TO indict Hall. although Judge
Lyttleton demanded that they do
so. Now, after one year, this
same judge renews his demand 20

little short of an open insult to
the two former grand juries. II

the Knights of Columbus over

As they stand they are spectac'
ular enough 10 serve the purpose
for which they were used namely
AS a means Of fooling the public
into thinking that the Masonic
order Of California had officially
investigated the alleged oath OF
the knights Of Columbus, and had
proved it TO be spurious.
It's History
Several years ago a papist poll.

date and caused the alleged oath
to be printed in the Congressional
Record as part of Congressional
proceedings.
At that time THE MENACE re-
printed the document, which is
certainly a terror, calling atten.
tion TO the fact that whether the
Knights of Columbus did, or did
not, take such an oath, their ac-
tions were such as would rea-
sonably be expected from people
who had subscribed to such a
pledge.
The analogy cut popery TO the
quick, and stung the papal sys-
tenn into frantic efforts to disprove
and discredit the mooted obliga-
tion. Knights of Columbus had
inaugurated q reign of terror,
ranging from the boycott of Prot
estant merchants to the murder OF
patriotic speakers, and the printed
pledge was widely accepted as
logical to the organization to
which it was credited.
Chief among their attempts to
rid themselves of a bad reputa.
ton, that was rapidly growing
worse, was the so-called Los An
geles Investigation. This investi-
cation purports, on the face of it,
10 have been entered into and con-
Quoted by the titled gentlemen
whose names appear at the head
of this column.
These four men signed a report
containing several positive state
ments as follows: first, that they
were furnished with a complete
copy Of all the work, ceremonies,
and pledges used by the Knights
of Columbus; second, that they
examined these documents with
the purpose of ascertaining
whether a certain alleged oath
was or was not used by the
Knights of Columbus; and third,
that neither the alleged oath, nor
any jath or pledge bearing the
least resemblance thereto, was TO
be found in the Knights Of Co.
lumbus ritual.
Their report also contained
other matter calculated TO absolve
the knights Of Columbus from all
criticisms and to give this militant
branch of political Romanism q
delightful reputation for patriot
ism and every thing that is good.
Signed It as Masons
As a matter of fact, this preten.
tious document had nothing to
support il but the signatures of
four men. The four men were in
1uced, however, to add their Ma

1nake il appear that the report

cution, other than MENACE employees,
Aurora residents and government EN-.
ployees, and those who we're mentioned
by these star witnesses as having figured
in their plotting against The MENACE
were Roman Catholics. Yet the prosecu-
tion continually asserted that Rome was
not responsible for the prosecution.
Outside Of the mass Of witnesses whose
sole purpose was TO prove that THE
MENACE was printed and mailed which
was merely preliminary detail Of the
evidence, the prosecution only had four
witnesses in court One Of these was
not called to testify. The testimony of
the other three had 50 much defense
dynamite 10 il that TO call them prosecut-
ing witnesses was a farce.
Paul Bakewell, lawyer and Knight OF
Columbus, Of 81 Louis, has boasted that
he was the one person who had secured
the Indictment against THE MENACE.
His brother knight, Barwood, evidently
lent a helping hand by saving copies Of
THE MENACE with a view 10 using them
as evidence. Seven articles from among
the thousands which had appeared in
more than $50 issues Of the paper were
the result Of his efforts in defense Of
his master the poPe-and those seven
could not convict.
In establishing the fact that THE
MENACE was actually placed in the
United States mails, a host Of witnesses,
from the postmaster at Aurora down TO
minor employees Of THE MENACE, and
even 20 the subscriber himself, testi6e'
as TO the various stages Of the process
of publication. The paper was traced
from the press room TO the mailing room,
through the postoffice substation at IN,
plant. down a shute TO platform, loadec
on drays ana hauled to the railroad where
IL was loaded on mail cars and ultimately
delivered 70 the subscriber. IL was
definitely proven that THE MENACE really
passed through the mails.
