sobre ell team antillano de Oriente; 2
sobre los HAVANA GIANTS, 2 sobre

VICTORY FOR YANKEE BLUFF

Robert College.

Robert college, near Constantinople.
was founded by the munifcence Of q
New York merchant, Christopher Rob
ert, some sixty years ago. to extend
and perpetuate the educational work
Of the American missionary, DR.. Ham,
lin.
The project did not commend II
self to the Turkish authorities. DR..
Hamlin was allowed to purchase
site. but permission to build was re-
fused for nearly twenty years, despite
the protests of the United States gov
ernment.
At last the projectors gained their
end by bluff. An American battle
ship visited Constantinople, and they
induced the commander. when dining
with some of the chief officers Of
state, to demand why permission was
not granted to erect the college. As
anticipated, this was taken as a new
hint from the United States. backed
by the sending of a warship. and the
long-desired permit was received with

Trouble He Had Caused On That
Street Car.

A smile will sometimes do wonder
full things. Watson sat on the street
car. looking out Of the window. Some
thing he observed out In the street
caused him to smile broadly. In fact.
he almost laughed outright.
People sitting near him roticed the
smile and wondered. When the smile
didn't fade away the gil across the
aisle reached down and gave her skirt
q downward push. The man with
a wart on his nose turned sideways,
50 that the wart could not be observed.
The young fellow aud his girl sudden
ly brought their voices down to a
mere whisper and the gifl blushed
prettily, while the boy shifted his po-
sition uneasily. The little man who
had been shopping for his wife and
was loaded down with bundles did
his hest 10 look naughty and to COM
mand an air Of quiet dignity. Tho
old negro nanny muttered something
about white people having DO manners
nowadays. always laughing at black
folks.
Watson himself noticed none Of
these things. and smiled ON at the
recollection Of the Incident he had
noticed In the street-Kansas City

MEXICAN KILLED FOLLOWING
DANCE ON CALIFORNIA MESA

Saturday night At = dance given on
the old Wise place ON California Mesa
Levi Beal was shot and killed, and
some time later his body was found
several hundred feet from the cabin.
having. evidently. been rolled down
over a bank.
The dance was given by Antonio
Valleria. The room was about 10x16
and was well filled with Mexicans.
The shooting occurred at about 1880
o'clock. Sheriff Davis of Delta coun-
ty, and Sheriff Phillips of Montrose
county were notified and q searching
party was organized for the murderer.
Sunday forenoon Undersheriff Guy
Merritt and Sheriff Phillips went to
the neighborhood and interviewed q
number of Mexicans. and suspicion
attached to Albino Morales who was
employed by J.. A. Meacham. They
learned that several of the men had
quarters on the place, and on enter
ing potato cellar also occupied by a
number of men. they discovered one
mar hiding. He proved to be Morales
and was taken in, and brought to Del
ia where later he confessed.
According to parties at the dance.
there was a quarrel between Morales
and Beal. the latter claiming that
Morales had attempted to cheat him
out of IS. although stories seem to diff
fer. some claiming that it was over a
whiskey transaction. 1t is said that
Beal was short some money and a
watch.
The prisoner was first brought to
Delta. and though. through an inter-
prefer, A. Atencio. he denied having
attended the dance. several parties, in
GLIDING Mrs. Beal, wife Of the dea
man, identified him and declared that
he was there. When handcuffed In
the Delta Jail and brought out to be
taken to Montrose. he confessed to
the crime. saying that Beal had short
changed him.
At Montrose Monday a coroner's
jury brought in verdict that Beal
came to his death from a gunshot
wound at the hands of Morales.
