SKAGGs MAKES
LARGE DEAL
Property Recovered in Law
Suit Sold to Capitalists
For Large Sum

Good fortune has again turned her
looks as though he is going to be in
the money again stronger than ever.
Bob made a nice turn in the mining
game about Ten years ago, but he put
it into the ground again. and since
that time he has been wrestling with
bad luck, and things generally seemed
to be working against him. But his
persistency is going TO win out, and
he will soon be on top and safe side
up.
Last week Bob was given judgment
in the case of Cation VS.. Skaggs, which
suit was brought to quiet title TO the
Copper King and the Dewey mining
claims at Bullion. For several days
| it has been known that there has been
II stir over these properties, and ii
was announced toda,. that a company
of San Francisco capitalists have tax.
en- a lease and bond on them for
$4,000. A substantial payment will
be made the fore part of next week.
These properties have a most in
teresting history. They were origin
ally located by Robert Skaggs, Charles
! Skaggs and James Burke. Bob Skaggs
later acquired the share held by his
brother Charles. About ten years ago
the property was bonded TO C. ID.
Calvin and other, and several thous-
and feet of work was done. Buildings
were also constructed at cost OF
about $4,000. Then some hitch oc.
lcurrcd and New York company tried
to get a lease and bond through their
representative. Mrs. Ella Rails Reader
and the latter made race across the
continent against time in an endeavoI
to tie up the property for $1,000
Cation and others then jumped the
property, claiming that annual as
sessment work had not been perform
ed according to law. One day wher
Cation was absent from the property
Skaggs went in and took possession
arming himself with a shot gun, ant
said that he would resist any efIor
to dispossess him. Cation then brough
- suit. and Judge AveriIl, sitting 70

CHICAGO, May 24.-Pitchers con- victed of using the bean ball" a high ly dangerous ball thrown directly at a batters head will be expelled from or ganized baseball as a result of a ruling by the national commission here today The ruling was not alone directed to players in the major leagues, but to ev- cry member of clubs operating under the national agreement.
 The commissions ruling, as an nounced by Chairman August Herr mann, follows:
 Tt has come to the notice of the na . uoral commission that certain pitchers are being charged with using the bean ball. which charges, if true, would net only be d great detriment to the game. but would result in most severe injur- ies to players and would be unsports- manlike in the highest degree.
 The commission therefore serves notice that if 0 charge of this kind is presented to it at any time against any player, and after an examination thereof the same is proved it will re- suit in the expulsion of the player or players so charged from the. game"
 Chairman Heermann characterized the bean ball'' as brutal, and added that he could not force himself to be- lieve that a pitcher would deliberateIy

 Many ships have aboard them the naval militia from the various states. Some of the militia are pronounced good sailors.
 On nearly every ship ire men who used to be in the navy and who have gone back to their old, ,,nd usually low. ranks because their country needs them. They are regular officers.
 On one of the ships is 6 Wall street broker. He graduated from Anna polls many years ago resigned and l'ter came back into the service during the Spanish American war. He com manded the Hist in several fights in Cuban waters and knows how it feels to be under fire.
 The Navy Needs You was the sign that got me back this time" said he. When I read that sign I knew il meant me and l fixed it right off so 1 could come back. I left tie navy at the close of the Spanish American war and have been in the brokerage business in New York ever since"
 On another ship is little man with gray hair-a grandfather-who wears rne uniform of an ensign. T resigned from the navy ma11y years ago. he said.

 The grandfather ensign is just as anxious to fight as the newest recruit at the loading machines. and he is c2p- able, too.
 They've got a slight attack of spy scare in the navy. Officers said that it was quite possible there were Ger mans on the ships. The spy who is caught is very likely to find himself looking into the business ends of the rifles of firing squad. Every now and then suspicious of the officers and men are aroused and a quiet investigation is conducted. Bluejackets are sps- picious of anything unusual. One new recruit brought suspicion against him self because he carried aboard ship with him a geon4ry book.

He had an agree ment with the navy department through which he was to get out of the navy in q couple of weeks and en- listed as a yeoman.
