Otis Crandall Joins the Outlaw League—Career Ended.

The Federal League has succeeded in getting a number of live wires in its raids on the old leagues, but for the most part the former stars are sinking- and the big leagues were not offering very great induce-' Crandall, of Wadena, credited a ments to get them to stay. Otis few years ago with being jone of the greatest pitchers, has' joined the outlaw league and will 1 probably play in Indianapolis. Friends of the once great Otis have observed that his finish was near at hand and that Manager McGraw used him only occasionally last year. He failed at critical times to make good. As a pinch hitter he was valuable, but it is quite certain that New York was not bidding very high for him when he ap* pended his name to the “Fed” contract. It is probable that Otis will be back on the old farm one of these days soon and it is only •hoped that his head was long enough to gather the “green” while che picking was good.

Ontario Preacher Expects Second Coming of Christ.

Rev. Canon Howitt, of Hamilton, Ontario* before the International Prophetic conference at the Moody Bible Institute in Chicago Wednesday said: , “The return of Jesus Christ to this world in His second coming is not only an assured fact but is imminent. I believe that Christ will return to the earth during the lifetime of many who are living to-, day. And I believe that he will return not in the spirit but in the flesh. Christ will come, but to set any date, however, would be absurd.”

Goods to Be Thrown Away.

Don't You Believe It.

WHEATFIELD BUTCHER GOES ON RAMPAGE

George Hoehn Lodged in Jail Alter Desperate Fight With Town Marshal, “Debs” Fillmer.

George Hoehn, the butcher at Wheatfleld, said to be a fine man when sober, is reported to have tanked up. Wednesday and to have gone on the rampage when Town Marshal, “Debs” Fillmer, ordered him to be quiet. Fillmer then tried to arrest Hoehn, who made desperate resistence and is reported to have, chewed the index finger almost off the marshals left hand. The marshal deputized others and it became necessary to put a rope about Hoehn’s neck and fairly drag him into the jail before he could be locked up.

Hoehn is said to have defied not only the marshal hut all of the people of the town. Albert Keen, trustee of the township, slipped up behind him and lassooed him with a big rope and he was dragged 'fighting every inch into the calaboose. When released in the small improvised bastile he tore the bars from the windows and wrecked the inside. Two men stood guard at the windows of the jail, one with a revolver and another with a short crowbar and Hoehn was told that if he put his head out of the window it would be all up with him. He wisely kept inside and it was about 1 o’clock at night when he had quieted down. Hoehn is a very large and powerful man and the marshal is also a large man. The exeitement was intense in Wheatfleld and even extended all over the north part of the county and ipjyiy people gathered on the streets to watch the fight between the enraged butcher and the town marshal and his deputies. presumably this is one of the advantages of having a well-regulated saloon in Wheatfleld.

' The hearing by the Public Service Commission on the application of the Jasper County Telephone Co., to increase rates will take place Friday, Feb. 27th, beginning at 10 o’clock in the morning.

The opposition to the raise in rates will be presented by Attorneys Halleek and Dunlap for the great bulk of subscribers, and City Attorney Leopold will appear on behalf of the city.

Parkinson will appear for the telephone company and it is presumed that the company will offer as its claim for a raise in rates an appraisement of it£ physieMl property as made recently by men hired by the company.
