Sioux City, April 30.--Lew Jones and
Omar Weaver, farmers near Neville;
have been arrested by Sheriff Jones in
connection with the yellow painting
affair at Neville last week. The men
arrested neither deny nor admit they
We're concerned with the affair.
Charles Babcock of Neville, member
of the county exemption board whose
place Of business was one of the places
painted yellow, declares there is not
the slightest excuse for the act Of the
painters. He asserts the young men
who were given deferred classification,
the cause of the painting, were entitled
to the action of the board and that the
action was unanimous. He says some
Of the men who engaged in the paint
ing already have publicly apologized
for their actions, having Investigated
and found that the members of the
board were warranted in the action
taken and that the painters were not
warranted in doing the things they
did.
The matter is expected to stir UP
considerable trouble in the neighbor-
hood of Neville.

baseball In 1850 when he was elected
director, and vice president Of the old
Inter State league. This circuit was
composed Of Davenport, Peoria, Spring
field, Evansville, Dubuque. Burlington
and Terre Haute, and during its short
existence Mr.. Hayes played a promi-
nent part in its affairs.
When the Three-I league was or
ganized in 1901, Hayes was one of the
leaders in its organization. The Dav-
export club was owned by three citi-
zens. Max Ochs r. M. Sharon and J. T.
Hayes. These three men carried all the
burdens Of the Davenport club along
with many Of the burdens of the league
as whole.
In 1904 both Sharon and Ochs with
drew from the league and Hayes took
over the Davenport club himself. Dur
ing the seasons 1904 and 1905 he han
died all the affairs Of the club and did
the greater part Of the financing. Some
of the funds necessary to keep Dav-
export in the league were collected
from few business men but after 1905
the donations stopped.
Disguised with the miserable support
of the fans during the season Of 1906
Hayes threw up the sponge and dur
ing the winter sold the franchise to
Clinton.
For two seasons Davenport was with
out the game.
During the winter of 1909 stock
company was organized and the Clinton
franchise was bought For two years
baseball was a paying proposition and
some of the largest crowds that ever
packed a Three-I league park wit
messed the Davenport games. Two
years later the Lane interests took
over the club and until 1915 when this
city again gave up the franchise this
concern controlled the club.

FIND FISH ALREADY BR0ILED
Volcanic Peak In South American
Andes Throws Out Dainty Morsels
Which Indians Appreciate.

There is volcanic peak in the
South American Andes that serves
broiled fish for breakfast. Not infre-
quently they also are on the u,I OF
fare for luncheon and dinner as well.
This peak is called the Tunghurahua,
and is regarded as a special instru-
ment Of the gods by Indians living In
the vicinity.
They believe that when an eruption
takes place, running their crops and
perhaps sweeping away their homes,
the mystic spirit Of the Tungurahua
provides the broiled fish so that they
will not want. But the scientific ex-
PLANTATION is somewhat different.
Far underneath the mouth Of the
volcano is subterranean lake. When
the volcano begins to spout flame and
lava the suction draws up tons Of va
ter, carrying along the fish, which are
cooked by the inferno they pass
through. After an eruption the In
dams find thousands of the fish in the
ashes and lava from the volcano, and
many of these are just crisp enough
for dainty breakfast.
