FRANK ARRIVES AT CAMP AND FINDS A BIC SQUAD AT WORK
Nine Players Absent-Mar- can Suffering From Ton silitis-Matty Is
 Praised
By DICK JEMIsoN

Valdosta, March 1S.-(Special )-Mana- ger Frank and the newspaper men arrived here at the Crackers spring training camp Thursday morning and found the following players already here at work
 Pitchers Ed Laftte Finis Wilson, c. w. Wheeler, Scott Perry and Virgil Day, Outhelder Roy Moran, First Baseman Jake Munch and Catcher Doc Nieder- korn.
 There are yet to arrive Outfielders Thrasher Osborn and Mcdonald, Infield- CTS Marcan, Jenkins, Janscar and Lem nox, Catcher Gutierrez and Pitcher Davis.
 A telegram from Marcan's brother an- nounces that Lii has tonsilitis and will be sometime in reporting. Marcan's baby has been down with scarlet fever and now he is stricken.
 Outfielder Thrasher has been granted per mission to stay at Milledgeville where he is coaching the Georgia Mill tary college baseball players until March 20.
 MATTY WROUGHT WONDERS
 Harry Matthews, who was sent here by Manager Frank in February, has wrought wonders with the playing field. One could hardly describe what he has accomplished unless one saw the field LHdL the F. IL. A. S1. icdSuo IStIAI pleiy cu on last season and could look at the same field now.
 Matty has sod all over the infied and outfeld as far as one can see and when it is stated that the fences are farther away from home plate than those at Tonce de Leon in Atlanta, it is some grass. The Crackers have a big league training camp. Manager Frank is high ly pleased with all arrangements and the hotel accommodations are superb.
 Manager Frank intends keeping the Crackers here until about a week before the season opens and the chances are that he will play games en route to Mo- bile, where the team opens, and not go tc Atlanta again until the first game is scheduled there with New Orleans on April 19.
 DEALS PENDING
 Manager Frank has some deals pend- ing for more players, a couple of inf1eld- CTS, pitcher and couple of catchers that he expects to announce shortly and the players will be at the training camp along about the 22d.
 A halt was called to the workouts Thursday as the result of the cold snap that hit valdosta with the rest of the south but the players were back at it hard again Friday.
 Manager Frank expects to arrange ex- hibition games with the Cubs, the Phil lies the Athletics and the Yankees here, in addition to staging games with the Sally and college teams in this vicinity.
 Next week the real action will begin.

Facts About Horse Poisoning Case

The following report of the inves-
tigation into the facts relative to the
case of horse poisoning at the farm
of Otto Olson of Elkwood has been
given the Democrat by ]. w. Haw,
one of the field agents of the better
farming movement in this county,
which it is hoped will contradict a
number of reports that have
gained circulation relative to the
dangers to live stock in using gopher
poison, since this event occurred:
TUESDAY morning, May 9th, four
two year old colts belonging to Otto
Olson got out of the yard and strayed
a half a mile down the road to the
Elkwood school. The children COM
ing out at half past tel O'Clock recess
set the dogs on them and they were
chased a half mile north to a farm
belonging to P. C. Olson, and which
is rented by a Mr.. Croft, who is a
bachelor and was at the time working
in the field. At noon on coming
home he found one of the horses dead,
about twenty feet in from the house
and the other three he noticed as act
ing in a peculiar way. He at once
phoned to Mr.. Olson to come after his
horses. Mr.. Olson arrived there a
few minutes later and started the
three horses home. One of them fell
dead along the road, but the other two
he managed to keep on their feet
until they reached his place and was
successful in saving their lives by
administering an antidote.
Mr.. Croft claims that he had put
out poison the day before along the
road and in the yard in front of the
house and he claims only in teaspoon
full quantities, scattered out around
the holes. The rumor has somehow
been started that these horses were
poisoned by picking up these poisoned
oats from the ground around tie house.
On Wednesday afternoon Mr..
Stewart and myself held a post NOR
TEN in the presence of Mr.. Olson and
MIR. Croft and we found that the horse
which had died near the house not
only had a large mouthful of oats at
the time he died, but upon opening
the stomach from three to five quarts
of oats were found deposited near the
opening into the esophagus and were
clearly the last thing the horse had
eaten. The oats were clean and
perfectly free of grass and dirt of any
description. 1t was clear TO all
present that these oats had never
been picked up from the ground.
A sample of these oats taken from
the horses stomach was sent to the
chemical department of the state
agricultural college at Fargo to be
analysed. Their report was ''strych-
nine present. The horse had eaten
from three to five quarts of poisoned
oats. Now there are sixty tea spoon
fuls in a quart. Estimating the
quantity Of oats in the horses stomach
