ONLY SLIGHT ACCIDENTS MAR PLEASURE Bver Two Score Take Part, but Haif of Them Only with Volces— About forty-five members of the Omaha Real Estate Exchange, in the presence of a large number of friends and a still larger number of small boys from the north end of town, played a new game, or a combination of a number of games and sports on the Young Men's Christian sociation grounds at Beventeenth and Pinkney strects yesterday afternoon. The sport commenced at 3 o'clock and ended @ few minutes before 6 o'clock, by which time all those taking part—and also all the spectators—were ready to quit and 80 home. From start to finish' the sport was in- teresting and at times exciting. It was , due to the excitement that no name .was glven it but a special committes will be appointed at the next meeting of the ex- change to find, 1t possible, & name suitable 0 it More than half of the real estate men present elected to play simply with their Welces, and acted as Interrupters, inter- (ferers and incompetents during the entire game. A gentleman who watched the sports from a house about a block away declared that he thought they were act- ing the part of idlots, imbeciles, and in- ebriates, but on being questioned closely {admitted that he had dyspepsia. Captains Choowe §i The fun was started by Willle Shriver and Willie Gates, each selecting elght other boys for a “side.” Willle Shriver had first cholce and said he liked the fat boys best so he took Willie Ure, Eddie Stoltenberg, Johnnie Frenzer, By Hastings, Willle Thomas, Bertie Parmales and Hen Dalley for his side. Willle Gates sald he would take the lean boys so he picked out Frankle Haskell, Blakey McKitrick, Btanny Bostwick, Freddy Wead, Bddle Blater, Nate Dodge, Johnny Robbins and Joe Piper for his side. Willle Shriver slipped Bertle Parmalee fnto his side when Willle Gates was not Jooking, for Bertle is not a real estate Lman at all, but & newspaper man. Willie "Gates was game all the way through and did not roar at all, even when Bertle ran around all the stations four times, which was once more than any of the real es- tate men. Dave Palterson was selicted to keep a record of the sports, and so that everything would be regular Assistant Sec- yotary Jones of the Young Men's Christian {association, was selected as referee, and Lew Sholes was delegated to assisi him and see that the runmers stepped on all the bags at the stations when they were running around. Eddle Stoltenberg and Willle Ure were selected to throw and catch the balls for the fat boys, and Blakey McKitrick and Frankie Haskell to throw and cateh them gfor the lean boys. Eddle and Willle were & whole lot better than Blakey and Frankle. Lon Tukey, Ras Benson, Georgle Wallace, Willle Green, Georgle Holbrook and some of the other boys who played with their voices sald it was because they had the biggest boys to back them up and bad Bertle Parmelee on thelr side. Fat Boy Hits Druggist Kuhn, who has & contract to attend all the games played by the mud- plo boys, and Dr. Fred. F. Teal were pres- ent, but only a little cold water and some witch hasel were required. This was about the fourth round, when Eddle Stoltenberg of the fat boys threw:a ball and hit Wiilie Gates In the head. Willle fell down, but wes soon all right again end played better Lean Boy. than befors he was hit. Everybody said it was mean for Eddie to hit Willle in the head, but Eddle said that was the bnly place he could hit Willie, for when Willile was measured before the games tarted it was found that he was 6 feet and 2 inches long but only 5% Inches wide, #0 his head was the biggest part of him. Before he was hit Willle stood with his feet far apart and let all the balls go through between his legs, but after he was hit he kept his feet together and stopped them. Some of the boys who only played with thelr volces wanted Eddle Stoltenberg to hit the other lean boys in the head and make them play better, but he would not do it because he wanted the fat boys to win. Johnnle Robbins didn't hit the ball at all, but about the eight round he did the best tumbling of all of them. He ran to| catch a ball, and aid catch it just as it was touching the ground. Then he turned | a front somersault and then two side | somersaults, and then after a while he| quit rolling around and got up. But he | held onto the ball so the boy that hit it could not play any more that round. Joe Plper stopped the game one time when it was his turn to hit the ball and asked Dave Patterson if anybody was counting balls. There was only one ball and Dave told him to go ahead or he would | not give him any good marks. And he did not, for Joe could not hit even the one ball. When it got lost in the weeds they borrowed one from a little boy in the north end of town who had come down to seo the game. Willle Green Causes Trouble, Wilie Green also made some trouble, be- cause he wanted them to throw the ball around to the different stations—there were ations—after the boy that hit it, and said if they did not do that they could not make the boy quit playing. Lou Tukey sald that was not the way they used to play down In the state of Maine, but Wil- lle Green said he had thrée ribs broken the last time he played, so he ought to know. But Mr. Jones, the referee, sad it was all right to throw the ball any old way, and that it did not put a man out if the ball hit him when he was running be- tween the stations. At first ail of the boys were trying to hit the hoys who were run- ning, but Mr. Jones said they must try to throw the balls to the boys at the stations and let them touch the other boys with it. Willle Ure and Ernle Sweet. who took Hen Dailey's place, and some of the other boys would fall down in the dust when | they were running and trying to get to the stations, %o that they will have to get some new clothes. And some of the boys ob- jected to quitting trying to hit the ball when ‘'Mr. Jones told them to, because the boys who played only with thelr volces 1014 them to keep on. But Mr. Jones would make them quit just the same. Tommy Hagen played for Stanney Botwick the last few rounds because Stanny stepped on his hand when he was running around and could not play any more. Dave Patterson gave all of them these §00d and bad marks: FAT BOYS. 12 Stoltenberg . Frenzer .. Hastings . | 8hriver | Thomas | Parmelee ' Carmichael Dalley Haskell | MeKitriek Bostwick 0 0 LEAN BOYS. 0 K50 sy i 0 o 0 o sald that Johnny Frenzer also had a bad mark in the first round, and that a stralght mark was a good mark and a eir- cle was & bad mark. So the fat boys got twenty-two good marks and the lean boys only five good marks. mding in Lipton Cup Races. CHICAGO, Aug.

FOR THE COMING OF CRESCEUS Tri-City Driving Club Will Make the Event an Important Occasion for Omaha. The Tri-City Driving club held s well attended meeting at the offices of Floyd J. Campbell last night to arrange for t matinee at which Cresceus, the wor champion_trotting stallion, 2:02%, is to & pear, on Saturday, September 18. A coi mittee, composed ‘of F. A. Nash, T. C. Byrne, C. C. Kendall, ‘Charles Creighton and Floyd J. Campbell, “was appointed to arrange for the ordering of the events of the matinee. As arranged for at present, the events will include races in two classes of the matinee horses and competitive classes in children's saddle ponies, gentle- men’s runabouts, matched teams hitched to statlon wagons and, perhaps, ladles’ saddle horses, The latter competitions are something entirely new to local horse-lovers and bor- der somewhat upon the horse show, as the points in the contest are based entirely upon the appearance ofthe horses and the trappings. * The classes have been kept down to a small number in order that the entry list may be as large as possible in the different classes. The results of the competition are expected to glve an indi- cation as to the spirit with which Omahans take hold of the {dea of & horse show next fall ‘and everything will be done to sfimu- late interest In this part of the program. The report of the committee on the track showed that the work and the money spent by the assoclation on the track so far has proven of great good to the track. It has been shortened so that it is exactly one:half mile in length and its surface 1§ in better condition than ever before and it will be bettered even more before Cres- ceus makes his appearance. As Cresceus will probably be in Omaha for three or four days particular pains will be taken by the association in arranging for the caring of the stallion. Two of the box stalls in the stables at the track will be combined and celled overhead for his use. Bpeclal trainers travel with the fa- mous trotter and one of them.sleeps in the stall with him each nfght. According to the contract Cresceus will trot an exhibition mile on Saturday. This will be his only appearance in raska without a doubt, as his owner has prac- tically decided not to send him to Lincoin, was rumored for a long time. committee elected to nding of applicants for fler, The ‘committee as C.

IT WILL TAKE PLACE ON MONDAY English Yachtsmen Are Anxious for a Series of Five Races Between the Boats with the Orews Exchanged, NEW YORK, Aug. 20.—For the first time in the history of America’s cup contest a race has been postponed on account of too much wind. Today the third of the present series of races was to have been salled. Following the futile attempt of Thursday, when there ‘was not enough wind to complete the race within the time limit, it was earnestly hoped by yachtsmen that today's contest would be decisive and the series com- pleted. Ten hours after Thursday’s drifting fail- ure a storm broke over the course and raged about Sandy Hook. The water was tumbled into waves that troubled even an ocean liner. The wind blew with a velocity estimated between forty and fifty miles and the rain driven before it obscured the vision beyond a mile or two. Within the sheltering bend of Sandy Hook, where the two racing yachts rode at thelr mooirngs, the water was compara- tively quiet this morning, while across the sandy peninsula on the ocean side the surt boomed as it broke upon the beach. At 7 o'clock the regatta committee met at the New York Yacht club house and decided to postpone the race for the day. The meeting wi then adjourned until 1 p. m., when a decision as to a race was reached. In the meantime a tug was sent to Sandy Hook to secure the feeling of Mr. Iseiin and Bir Thomas Lipton in the matter and upon the return of the tug definite action was taken. A prominent member of the Yacht club sald this morning that he was in favor of a race Monday, and now that Sir Thomas has openly expressed himself on the abill- tles of both boats and acknowledged him- self defeated, it was thought advisable by many of the members of the Yacht club that the race be started Monday and the races be completed as soon as possible. The committee named Monday as the day for the next race. It was also decided to hold the races every day thereafter until the International contest is decided. Want the Crews Changed. LONDON, Aug. 2.—A cable dispatch was sent to Bir Thomas Lipton today offering to guarantee the expenses if he will agree to & serles of five races between Reliance and Bhamrock with their crews exchanged. In approving of Sir Thomas' reported de- termination not to challenge again for the America cup, the Globe this afternoon volces the despair which marks all the comment on the cup racing, by saying: There comes a time when constant and fnevitable defeat wearles even the most enthusiastic, and Sir Thomas is well ad- vised to relinquish the struggle, while his luck 1s 80 generally recognized and be- fore his failures have become a jest.

THIRD TRIAL AND EXTREME PENALTY Found Guilty Twice Before, but in Each Case He is Allowed to Escape with Imprison- ment for Life. GEORGETOWN, Ky., Aug. 20.—The jury in the case of ex-Secretary of Btate Caleb Powers, charged with complicity in the con- spiracy to murder Governor Goebel, today found the defendant gullty and imposed the death sentence. Powers was sentenced to Imprisonment for life in his former trials for complicity in the conspiracy. It was on his motion that he secured the new trials each time. The verdict today caused great excitement among the friends of the other defendants in these cases. Anxious Crowd Fills Room, ‘The third trial of the defendant closed shortly befors noon. Beyeral hundred peo- ple crowded the court room when the ver- dict was read and intense silence prevailed. The jury was polled and each man declared the verdict of guilty to be his finding. Pow- ers sat unmoved while his attorneys asked for time to make a motion for a new trial. Arthur Goebel broke down from the strain on hearing the verdict of gullty. The jurors decline to state what occurred In the jury room, Arthur Goebel, the brother of the victim, in a prominent merchant at Cincinnat! and he has spent his time and fortune for over three years in the prosecution of those accused of . belng i a conspiracy to kill his brother. Found Gullty Three Times. Powers has been convicted twice befors, this being the third trial in which the jury ‘brought in a verdict of guilty against him. On his previous trials he escaped with a sontence of life imprisonment. All three of the trials were held at Georgetown and in each of them he had the assistance of the most able lawyers who could be procured. Subscription lists were circulated in his {nterest by friends and a sum of money was secured to defray the cost of his repeated trials and the investigating of the circumtances which preceded the killing of Governor Gosbel, in the interest of the defense. The last trial was distinguished by the fact, that Powers addressed the jury in his own behalf, and In a long review of the case showed himself to be a very competent attorney, while his eloquence in pleading for his life astounded those who had watched him carefully in the past trials of the case. Powers has aiready been three years in prison on the sentence of the previous court. Powers had nothing to say regarding the verdict except to express his surprise that such a result could be reached and to an- nounce that he would take an appeal and continue the case to the last resort. When Powers secured his former new trials & majority of those on the appellate court were republicans, but it is now com- posed of democratic judges. As Commonwealth Attorney Franklin shook hands with each juror after they were dismissed, Powers watched the greet- ings closely but at no time did he show any sign, of breaking down. Powers Is regarded as a strong man. He was elocted secretary of state on the re- publican ticket, headed by W. 8. Taylor for governor in 1899, but served only a few months as all the state offices were con- tested by those on the democratic ticket, headed by Willlam Goebel. The former trials of Powers were before Judge James @ Cantrill of this city, but he was barred from sitting and Governor Beckham appointed John Robbins. Was Not in Frankfort. The prosecution clalmed the shot which killed Goebel just after he entered the statehouse grounds at Frankfort was fired from the window of Powers' office. Powers himself was on a train enroute to Louls- ville at the time, and claimed that he was going to help arrange for an excursion of western Kentucky citizens to the state cap- ital, to protest against the legislature set- tling the contest then pending by seating Goebel. Powers never denled that he alded in organizing the mountain armies which came to Frankfort at the time the election returns were first canvassed and again just before the assassination. He claimed, how- ever, that the men, though armed, were merely exercising the right of petitioning the legislature guaranteed to them in the bill of rights. Sentenced to Death. LEXINGTON, Ky., Aug. .—Judge Rob- bins this afternoon formally overruled a motion for the granting of a new trial to Caleb Powers, convicted for the third time of complicity in the Goebel conspiracy, and sentenced him to be hanged. After a dec- laration of the prisoner: “I am not gullty, judge,” the court fixed November 2 next as the day for the executfon. The attorneys for the defendant secured the granting of an appeal and if unsuccessful they may try to get the United Btates supreme court to take it under consideration.
