THE BAsKET BALL GAMES

A double-header basket ball game
was played last Friday night at the
Audubon high school gymnasium.
The contests were between the girls
and boys teams of Atlantic and the
Audubon teams. Audubon BY its
much superior playing succeeded in
winning both games. The girls
game was won by the score of IS 10
0 and the boys won "a ioz Dorcas
Andersen of the Audubon girls team
proved the star of the evening, max
ing "A of the As points scored. The
game was played in a clean ladylike
manner, which was appreciated by
those present. The boys game was
exciting throughout and proved that

the local team had Il over Atlantic,
in that they played a more faster and
steller game. Atlantic being unable
to make a field basket during the en-
tire game, the four points made. were
by free throws. Kelly and Petersen
deprived the Atlantic lads of several
passes by their good playing at op-
perfume moments. This game was
also played in a clean manner which
is a credit TO the Audubon team as
well as the visiting team. Games
between Anita and Audubon should
be arranged, which no doubt would
prove most exciting, as Anita has the
distinction of having the best basket
ball team in this part of the state.

BELIEVE NEGRO MURDERER HAS
BEEN CAPTURED.

That negro placed under arrest
by the police of Atlanta, Georgia, is
a murderer wanted here, is the belief
of Chief of Police Link A few days
ago Chief Link received a message
from Assistant Chief of Police Jet,
of Atlanta, notifying him that they
had arrested there a negro named
William alias Gap" Robertson, and
would hold him for Identification.
The message described the man as
being about five feet nine or ten
inches high weight about 155 to
160 pounds; brown-skinned with
raw-boned face; eyes set back in
head. The message further stated
that it was believed he was the man
wanted here for the killing of a ne
gro in ClaySville several years ago.
On going through the records of the
police department Chief Link and
Coroner Davis came to the conclu-
sion that the man was the one who
shot and killed negro named ThOs.
Collins, in Claysville, on the night
of August "a, 1914. The negro was
shot in the back, the bullet passing
through his heart, causing death in
stantly. The murderer made his es-
cape, and has never been apprehend-
ed. Chief Link wired the Atlanta
authorities to hold Robertson and to
have his photo taken and forwarded
here for Identification purposes.

SOME HOPE YET.

There seems to be some hope vet,
according to a Paris travelling man
who makes the blackberry and fruit
counties in his territory, that some Of
the fruit escaped damage by the re-
cent heavy frostS and continued cold
weather. He says that apples, black
berries and plums seem to have come
out all right. In returning from a
trip Saturday he stated to a NEWS
man that the blackberry bloom was
heavier than he had seen it for years.
Hundreds of acres of tobacco land
have been planted in tobacco by
farmers who kept on the job as long
as the plants could be set, The men
setting out the plants were paid
forty cents an hour. Even small
boys made good wages, and in some
instances, women went into the fields
and took their places with the men
who were doing the work. The trav-
cling man stated, also, that the
grapes, which were badly damaged,
are putting out new fruit shoots and
that it was the opinion that almost
an average crop would result.

FINES UNDERWEAR"

For weeks experts of the lpternal
Revenue Bureau have pondered Gen
nitions of underwear and other artl-
Giles subject to the so-called luxury
taxes which went into effect May l.
in preparation for the regulations
governing administration of the tax
Arguments were made on one she
and the other seeking to show that
certain articles were not underwear
hut something else. Finally the e&-
perts developed this definition OF I'M
derwear:
ANY garment worn under the
outer dress. such as undersnlrts.
drawers. pants, boomers, union sults'
combination suits. tights, camlsoles'
corsets. corset covers, brashlers'
chemises and vests
The regulations add that the list
is nv no means intended to be ex-
haustive. but merely to give gen
eral notion of the wide variety OF ar
ticles taxable"
The tax is ten per cent of the sell,
ing urice in excess of five dollars per
garment.

Fennell brought the $6.500 back t0 Maria this afternoon and deposited it Tn bank. The money was in $50 biIlg- Fennell said the army would reimburse the rcattlemen who subscribed the ran som money.
 Fennell tonight told the first con nected story of events preceding the crossing of the American avfators to the. United States today. He outlined preliminary negotiations Monday be- tween Captain MatlaclS and the Mexi- can brother-in-laW of Renteria, who acted as go-betWeen.
 He said the bandits insisted the de- livery Of the aviators be made after dark, so flares might be seen. The Eo- between crossed to San Antonio. Chi huahua, opposite Candelaria, and se- lected the spot wheer the aviators were to be delivered. It was at an old cottonwood tree a mile and a half south of San Antonio. The go- between then returned to the American side and said arrangements had been com pleted.
 When the flares agreed upon failed to show after midnight, Captain Mat lack crossed. He was gone more than ant Peterson. As he rode into Cam delaria> Captain Matlack said:
 Here's one of them, thank God!"
 Returning to the old cottonwood, to get on behind. Then the captain spurred his horse without delivering the balance of the money.
 You can go plumb to hell, I'm go- ing back" the captain shouted as he galloped across the river When Cap tain Matlack dismounted. F'ennell said he shook the money in their faces.
 Look at that. I'm going back to- morrow and get the rest of that mon ey," the captain told them. Fennell said.
 "The aviators were elated over their experience, once across the river" said Fennell. "We asked them if they had a good time. Davis said: I'll say I did
 "Neither man was hurt by the fan of the biplane. The aviators believed the accident was caused by the fact that their oil supply had been eI- hausted. The men had only a quarter canteen full of water. but drank from the Concho river.
 Then said the bandit Renteria forced them to write messages asking for the ransom and read the messages to see if they were correct"

Maria, Tex. Aug. 19.-Spread out fan shaped over wide stretch of Mexican country south of the Rio Grande, United States cavalry troops, aided by airmen as scouts, tonight are combing the mountains for the bandits who held the two American aviators for $15.0 900 ransom.
 After the forward dash over the bor- der today, the troops probably were being handicapped tonight by storm which was reported in messages by field telephone to be raging in the mNDusains below the border.
 It was feared the torrential rains would obliterate trails left by the bandits. The expeditionary force for time moved forward in the face of high winds. according to the reports.
 The two lieutenants, H. G. Peterson and Paul N. Davis, for whom ransom was demanded. and who were released early today. guided the Americans in their quest of the Mexican outlaws.
 With nearly six hours start on the punitive expedition, the bandits are believed to have scattered in the mountain passes and canyons, and 1t probably will be necessary to search every square mile of the rough coun- try below the border to find them, in the opinion of military men.
 Despite the difficulty in locating the bands from the air. American aviators who left the flying field here early to- day secuted almost the entire Ojinaga district.
 It was not known tonight how many are in the bandit band Lieutenant Davis and Lieutehant Peterson said they saw six men. There were twenty other bandits at the ranch where the outlaws stopped. American aviators were told the band numbered sixty.
 Arrangements for nurses, ambulances and surgical dressings for the punitive expedition's troops were being made tonight by Elmer DonneH of St. Louis for use in case of emergency.
 A report from the expedition indi- cated that pursuit had continued throughout the day but that there had been no contact with the bandits.
 H. M. Fennell. banker of this city. arrived late today and announced that the amount of ransom actually paid for the release of the aviators was sS. S.5O0 Fennell took the s15.000 de- to Candelaria yesterday. He declared recount of the money brought back by Captain Matlack af- ter the release of the aviators showed S6,5 300 remained.
