Huntsville June II, 1916. The arrest
occurred at Smithville, Tenn, after
search had been made for him in every
state in the south and part of Canada.
In November last Overton was con-
victed by a Huntsville jury of having
murdered Judge Lawler and the death
sentence was imposed An appeal was
made to the supreme court and this
appeal was pending when he made his
escape.
According to officials, the escape
would have been the signal for the au-
tomato dismissal of the appeal, and
Overton would have suffered the death
penalty without further action had he
been captured alive.
The finding of the body Of Probate
Judge w. 7. Lawler in the Tennessee
river near Whitesburg Ferry, Ala, on
the morning of June II, 1916, was fol-
lowed by the suicides in the next week
Of Shelby Peasants, Huntsville at
torney, and Robert Phillips, sheriff Of
Madison county, who, it is alleged,
killed themselves because they believed
they were suspected in connection with
the Lawler Killing. Judge Lawler dis
appeared from Huntsville the night of
June IA.
The news of the murder spread 81
multaneously with the report that
Overton had disappeared, and crowds
Of men and young boys gathered about
the streets of Huntsville and hints of
lynching were circulated. The fear of
disorder grew to such proportions that
the state militia was ordered to Hunts
vile and two companies of guardsmen
remained on duty there for a week.
On June 20 the body of Shelby Plea
SAINTS was found in his office. He had
killed himself with a pistol, and left a
note saying he could "stand the strain
no longer" Three days later Sheriff
Phillips killed himself by shooting in
! a bedroom in the city Jail. In a note
to his wife and children the sheriff
stated that he could not stand the sus.
picion" any longer, 1t is alleged the
sheriff had been severely censured anc
was accused of allowing Overton t.
escape.

YACHTING CRUISE IN ALASKAN
 WATERS
(By Associated Press.)

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. 22. - Few winter seasons pass in California without the recurring agitation con corning the organization of a Cali fornia state league, and the present season is no exception to the rule. Baseball enthusiasts of several Cali fornia cities again are seriously dis cussing the advisability of making up circuit
 Among the cities interested are sacramento, Stockton, Fresno and San Jose. The venture has been started on several occasions in the past, but for one reason or another it never has proved to be financially successful.
 The ruling powers in the Pacific coast league are not opposed to such a minor league, which would be either in the D or C class. As a matter of fact it has been said that the larger organization would welcome the lesser for the reason that it would tend to develop new players, of which the Pacific coast league is badly in need. Criticism in the past has been to the effect that the coast circuit has tend ed too much toward attempting to re- Juyenate the castoffs of the major or ganizations instead of developing younger talent on its own account
 Cliff Blankenship, former Salt Lake manager, now a resident of San Fran. cisco. admits that fans of the interior cities have been discussing the pro. ject with him, and he thinks there should be no difficulty in organizing the league and making it self sustain ing.
 Leagues without the drawing popu, lation this league would have, play out their schedules successfully in every part of the country" he said.
 On this proposed California cir cult we would have Sacramento. with 10000, or more, Fresno and Stockton with 35,000 or more each, and Sar Jose with more than 10000.
 Jumps would be comparatively short Players could be developed as they are developed in minor leagues all over the country, and sold to tho major and Class A leagues and any deficit could be met this way. 't would favor a schedule of si' |. games a week and a five months playing season. And I would want tc see o2aS-ebout one veteran on an! club rsonally Id like to see suci a ief 'ganized, and I'd be wfiiini to h4u if the fans of the dlfferen towns Showed the proper interest"

A plan which probably is unique in the annals of Pacific coast yachting is on foot in Seattle. It contemplatcs a fleet not only of coast pleasure craft, but those of the Atlantic seaboard, uniting in a cruise of Alaskan waters. The Seattle Yacht Club is sponsor for the scheme and has sent invitations to all yacht clubs which at the time asks for suggestions with a view of ascertaining the practicability of the idea
 As he incomplete plans stand. the trip Will start from Seattle early in June Only craft able to make an ocean speed of eight to ten knots an hour will be allowed to take part but for the benefit of yachtsmen who have no suitable craft it is proposed that two passenger vessels be chartered from the Canadian Pacific railroad

some explanation
District 20 to which Hegewisch's two

When the new serial draft numbers
came out. the only place they could be
obtained was at headquarters which 10
the Tegewisch men meant telephone
call or laying off work a half day and
going down to get their new numbers.
In short, 1t meant the loss Of a half

to South Chicago ana spent an entire

stating that the new draft numbers
could be obtained inside and that It was
unnecessary to go to South Chicago 10
