GARAGE ownER At
eAHADllim KILLED
!. n. nedore Victim Of Bullet Alleged
10 Have blsn Fired BY
Sc. Bailey

yanadium, smnil settlement be-
tween Hanover and Santa Rita, was
the scene Of fatal shooting last
Thursday morning as RESULT OF
which james N. Bedore, a garage
proprietor, was almost instantly kill
ed, his alleged assaaant being s. y.
Bailey, former postmaster At Van
adium, aud owner Of mining claims
in that vicinity.
There were no eye Witnesses 10 the
shooting. The first man TO reach
Bedore after he had been shot was
l.. +. Freeland, merchant at Vana-
dium. According TO Freeland's story
he heard a. loud report, but believed
it was an exploding automobile tire.
Almost Immediately thereafter, Free
land said, Bailey walked into the
store and remarked that he, Free
land, had better 90 out and see what
was the matter with Bedore.
Freeland quickly investigated and
found Bedore lying on the ground be-
side a ear, breathing his last. He
had been shot through the stomach.
The officers were at once notified
and when they arrived on the scene,
| Bailey was arrested and taken tO
Santa Rita.
Testimony introduced at the cor
oner's inquest and later at the pre-
liminary hearing, tended to show
that Bedore was renting house from
Bailey and that the latter had been
endeavoring to force him to move
out This Bedore declined 10 do,
claiming a lease. II is presumed that
this dispute worked on Bailey, the
alleged murderer, until in Git OF
anger he sought Bedore and shot
him.

Catholic Priest Arrested

Father Berg, rector Of the Catksne
church at Lordsburg, is in Jail here
ON disloyalty charge, following his
failure to register Sept. 18th. 1t is
understood that he has been very
free with talk bordering ON the sedi-
tious, and the sentiment aroused
against him crystalized in the arrest
as soon as it became known he had
not registered. No charge has as yei
been lodged against him with the
commissioner, Judge McKeyes.

No PershInu Day Drive

The couny w. $. S. committee de-
cided at the eleventh hour to make
no concentrated drive on Pershing
day, beause Of the approaching Lib
eriy loan campaign and the fact that
Luna county had already passed its
quota. So no active canvassing was
done, though interest in "Pershing
Day" was such that between five and
six thousand dollars worth of stamps
were sold on that day at the post
office and the banks.

viii recall the general clamor raised
against this freak style OF pitching
last summer and autumn. when the
White Sox hurlers had a monopoly
Of the market on shine" balls and
there was a strong agitation afoot to
have this style Of pitching legislated
out Of baseball But It flivvered- It
flivvered probably because American
league officials did not care to oppose
Charles A Cominskey, president Of
the Chicago American league club.
who is quite power in American
league affairs.
Rule Falls short.
A rule was passed prohibiting the
discoloration Of baseballs by pitchers
This does not affect the shine" ball.
II is not a discoloration Of the ball
in any sense. and Eddie Cicotte is
using his shine" ball overtime this
season. Now Clark Griffith. manager
Of the Washington club. has started
a crusade against it, "Griff' be-
leves in reprisals and Is having his
pitchers use the shine" ball TO their
hearts content IN an effort TO force
the hand Of the lawmakers Of the
American league and compel them 70
legislate IL and all other freak de-
liveries out Of baseball for all time.
Clark Griffith who in HIS day
was one OF the shreWdest Of
pitchers, Is irrevoeubly opposed
to all kinds Of freak deliveries.
This includes the spit ball, the
shine ball, the emery ball. the
lzmuclkle ball, the tuIloW baH. the
dlscoloratfom OF the ball and the
use Of pitching spikes By pitch

In this way the pitchers who are
