THE GIRLS win
AN EASY GAME
.» American Ladies Base Ball
Tfam Defeat Newport Boys
by Score of 8 to 4.
Ability to toss the ball and hit
the sphere is by no means con
fined to the masculine sex, is
now the settled conviction of the
Newport ball team, who went
down in defeat to the score of 8
to 4 in a fair game at Sports
man’? park Wednesday after
noon, when they had for oppon
ents upon the diamond, the “All
American Ladies Baseball club,” j
who are en route to California to ]
play the winter season and tak- j
ing engagements with local
teams en route in order to make
traveling expenses.
A muddy field spoiled the
sport and prevented a fast
game, for there were many er
rors upon either side as a result
of weather and the slippery
footing underneath.
The ranks of the visiting
players contained some real tal
ent,, their star being Miss H.
Murphy, yvho besides good work
in the field, scored two of the
runs made. In four times up,

Kfes Fay started the game in
tlw jrtteKer’s box, but could not
get her curves to working right
and was replaced by Lieberman
in the second inning. Ryan too,
who has always been a classy I
twirler for the locals was not in j
form and Thebo was sent to the \
bring line in the third inning. |
The All American club con- i
1
ducted themselves as ladies!
throughout the game and left
Thursday morning for Russel- j
ville, their next engagement.

Duel to the Death.
Fort Smith, Oct. 8.—Answer
ing a knock at his door only to
be met by a bullet which struck
him down, fatally wrounded, W.
B. Burnett of Athens, Howard
county, lived long enough to re
turn the fire, killing his assail
and, Fred Stover of Bonham,
Texas, according to reports re
ceived here today from Athens
The duel, which resulted in
the death of both men, occurred
yesterday afternoon. Accord
ing to reports Stover had been
separated from his wife and
daughter for several months
and they had been living at Bur
nett’s home. Stover is said to
have gone to Burnett’s home
with the hopes of inducing his
wife and daughter to return
with him to his home in Texas.
Stover, according to reports,
first called, but Burnett did not
hear him and Stover then
knocked on the door. Burnett
opened the door and when Stov
er saw him, both attempted to
draw their weapons, it is re
ported.
According to reports, Stover
fired the first shot, the bullet
striking Burnett near the heart.
The sound of the shots brought
Stover’s daughter rushing to the
door, but before she could inter
fere, Burnett, with his last dying
strength, shot Stover, who, in
turn, fell tvith a bullet in his
body, living but a few minutes.

—■ n
j Officers Believe They Have Men
In Jail Guilty of Recent
Burglaries,
Dave House, the boy once
charged with being a party to
the burning of the R. C. Horton
mill, Frank (Juliette of Straw
; berry, R. O. Massey and a bar
ber named Parker, who worked
in the shop next door to O’Neal’s
Saloon, have been jailed by the
officers on the charge of burgla
ry.
Their preliminary hearing
has been set for 3 o’clock Thurs
day afternoon before Esquire
H. C. Nuckolls and the officers
believe that they have a good
case against the prisoners.
Young House has confessed his
own guilt and implicates the
other three in his story.
According to the boy, who
tried to buy a saw from John
son-Avera Hardware Company
with a quarter which he claims
was money furnished him by
Parker, the saw later used iVas
purchased by Frank Gullette
aim me iuui vYcni uumi
street together about 9 o’clock
Monday night.
The boy says two of them
went through Bullard’s pool hall
and the other two through Bai
ley’s saloon to the alley. Ac
cording to their story, they ran
into some negroes there, one of
whom was Webb Poindexter,
who confirms this part of his
confession. Two of the party,
he says, stood guard;, while the
others worked. In sawing
through the bars at the rear of
Balmaz’ store, the blade was
broken, and then it was, accord
ing to House, that one of the
men found that the door could
be opened with a key he carried.
House says that when the bur
glars could not find any mone.v (
in the store, they left without!
taking any goods.
House, Massey and Parker
were arrested here by Officers
CaroutherS, Payne, Adkinson
and Wood, while Gullette was
arrested at the mouth of Straw
berry Wednesday evening and
brought to Newport via Swifton
next morning by Constable
Wood and Deputy Hasting.
None of the goods stolen from
Wilmans Mercantile Company
at Diaz were recovered, but the
bicycle oS Adran Balmaz was
found in the hold of the Gullette
boat. The three men implicated
by the story of House deny that
they were with him and will
seek to establish an alibi.
