MURDER, IA, LIKES
JUBILEE EDITION

w. T. Chollar, now living on
Riverside Drive in New York
city, enjoyed the Gazette's Dia-
mond Jubilee and SEVENTEEN an
niversary issue, he said in a let
ter to the paper this week.
He was particularly interested
in the account of the hanging of
William Rose here in 1891.
"At that time, although but IA
and in high school, l was cores
pendent for the Minneapolis
Journal and covered the affair, /"
Mr.. Chollar writes. SIN fact the
Journal said l did good job des-
pite my tender years"
Seemingly Redwood Falls is
still the delightful town that I
knew although have not been
there for many years."
The Gazette still has occasional
demand for a copy of the August
II issue and so far is able to sup
ply them.

THIRD OLDEST JUDGE
/. SUCCUMBS SUDDENLY,
WAS IN HOSPITAL

Washington - up = Associate
Justice Pierce Butler of the
supreme court died today.
The 73-year-old justice entered
a hospital for treatment of blad-
der trouble last summer and with
the exception of two weeks when
he was able to return to his home,
he had remained there since.
Death came so suddenly that
neither his doctor nor members
of the family were present.
Flags in front of the supreme
court building were lowered at
half mast.
Although Butler was the third
oldest of the justices he had been
reported in robust health during
the term of court which ended
last June.
In formal statement President
Roosevelt said, 81 sincerely regret
his untimely passing"
He also sent Mrs. Butler a note
of coincidence.

ley coaches Monday night voted to
exclude Imperial from the regular
league. Most principals will
okay the motion because all feel
Imperial too weak to enter.
The valley league baseball season
is completed and as is the custom
the Bench Warmer offers an all
valley team.
PitcherS-Valencia and SkileS.
Catchers-Hester and Mendoza.
First baSe-Leedom.
Second baSe-Rodrigue
Short Stop-Cordero.
Third basel. Andrade
Outfield-Acuna, Waterman and
EScobar.
Valencia of Calexico is easily the
outstanding pitcher. He was un-
defeated during the season.
Skiles' record was second best.
Luther Hester of El Centro was
the most consistent catcher and
boasted the best batting average
of the valleys backstopS.
Leedom of Brawley held a slight
edge over CaleXico's Amador, Ro-
driguez Of Brawley was moved to
second because there were no out
standing keystone sackers in the
league. Cordero was easily the
leagues outstanding shortstop and
L. Andrade of CaleXico held a
slight edge over Bill Payne of El
Centro. . Acuna. Waterman and
Escobar were the only dependable
outfielders in the league.
