UNITED FBESft LEASED WIRE.
Chicago, Jan. 27. The first of the
legal battles soon to be waged between
the forces of "organized" and "out
law" baseball will concern possession
of the services of three players Ward
Miller, "King" Cole and William Kil
lifer. Miller, the outfielder, whose desertion
of the Chicago Nationals for the St.
Louis Federals was announced recently,
stepped into the legal limelight yester
day, when ' President Murphy, of the
Chicago club, said he was prepared to
sue to prevent Miller playing with the
rival league. Murphy also said that he
would sue the player personally for
damages, should the latter play with
St. Louis.
Ollmore Claims Clear Case.
The Federal league, through Presi
dent Oilmore, doclarcd it had a clear
ease against the New York Americans
for the services of Pitcher Colo, who
had signed a contract with the Feder
als. The New York club has announced
that Cole made a proposition, which the
club had' accepted, and, argued, accord
ing to reports from the east, that this
acceptance was equivalent to signing
Colo. Colo said he had not mailo torms
with the New York club, but that he
had telegraphed President Farroll in
substance: "I think I am worth so
much a year." Colo emphasized the
"think" as defense
' Strengthens Case.
President Oilmore said ho had ro
coivod legal notice which strengthens
the Federal position in the dispute
with the Philadelphia National league
club for the possession of Killifor.
Docisions in the Miller, Colo ad Kil
lifor cases, if they come to trial, are
expectod to form basoball history.
Devore Lost to Federals.
.Tosh Devore wsb lost to tho Federals
yesterday and undoubtedly will be with
the Philadelphia Nationals the coming
season. Ho rocolved a tologram which
sot forth the club had accepted his
terms,' and thoroupon the Federals de
clined to carry on negotiations with,
him. Dovoro said he received an in
crease in salary.

mm ON CHARGE
Potts, It is Alleged, Choked Helpmate
to Death, Hurried Funeral and
Went to California.
A famous physician whose successful
researches into the cause and cure of
stomach and intestinal diseases have
earned for him an inernational reputa
tion, said In the course of a recent lec
ture that nearly all intestinal troubles,
as well as many diseases of the vital
organs, were directly traceable to a de
ranged condition of the stomach which,
in turn, was due nine times out of ton
to excessive acidity, commonly termed
sour stomach or heartburn, which not
only irritated and Inflamed the delicate
lining of the stomach, but also set up
gastritis and stomach ulcers. It is in
teresting to note that he condemns the
use 'of patent medicines, as well as of
medical treatment for the stomach,
stating that he and his colleagues
have secured remarkable results by the
use of ordinary bisurated magnesia,
which, by neutralizing the acidity of
the food, removes the source of the
trouble. He contends that it is as fool
ish to treat the stomach itself as it
would be for a man who stepped on a
tack to rub liniment on tho foot with
out first romoving the tack. Remove
the tack and the foot will heal itself
neutralize the acid and stomach
troubles will disappear. Irritating med
icines and medical treatments are use
loss, so long as the contents of the
stomach remain acid; remove the acid
ity, and there will be no need of medi
cine the inflamed lining of tho stom
ach will then heal itself. Sufferers
from acidity, sour stomach or heart
burn should get a 8 mull bottle of bisur
ated magnesia from their druggists and
take a teanpoonful in a quarter of a
glass of hot or cold water after meals,
repeating in 15 minutes if necessary,
this being the dose which the doctor
has found most efficacious in all cases.

Canyon City, Ore., Jan. 27. C. E.
Potts, formerly of this place, was ar
rested in Los Angeles, California, -yes
terday on evidence adduced at the cor
oner's investigation held here l&st Sat
urday, resulting in finding that Mrs.
Potts had met death at the hands of
her husband oh the night -of July 13
last at Mount Vernor, Oregon, 12 miles
from this place. The day following
she was buried there and the day after
tho funeral, Potts, with bis son, dis-
ppeared.
The coronor's jury brought in the fol
lowing:
Husband Blamed for Death.
"The verdict of the coroner's jury
is tlmt the deceased came to her death
by strangulation or suffocation at the
hands of her husband."
Tho jury's findings were telegraphed
in mediately to Los Angeles.
Mr. and Mrs. Potts lcfthcre early in
July to visit with Mrs. Potts' parents,
Mr, and Mrs, McGarvin, owners of the
Motility Vernon Hot Springs hotel,
about 12 miles from Canyon City.
Tho early evening of July 13 Mrs.
Potts passed, with wo school teachers,
Misses Skinner and Daniels, and later
went to tho hotel, where sh0 passed the
ight with her husband. About 7
'clock in the morning of July 14 Mr.
Potts announced to Mrs. McGarvin that
ho had found his wifo dead in bed and
that ho wanted her buried at once.
Suspicions Are Aroused.
Mrs. Potts' parents wero suspicious
and demanded an investigation, but, as
there was no coroner at Mount Vernon,
the undertaker thero was called to act,
and though Mr. and Mrs. McGarvin
wnnted the body embalmed and buried
u California, the contention of Mr,
Potts won, and the funeral was hold.
Tho teachers with whom Mrs. Potts
passod a part of tho evening before
er death wero called in to aid the un
dertaker, and they testified that they
found black marks on MrB. Potts' nock.
This caused further suspicions, as the
oung women said Mrs. Potts left thorn
in tho best of health and spirits.
To tho burial at Mount Vernon cem
etery Mr. Potts rode with the miuistor,
Rev. Mr. McClelland, the Presbytorian
hureh pastor of Mount Vornon, who
rstifiod that Totts told him: "If ever
get into trouble I will kill myself by
poisoning. llo produced a bottle ne
then carried, says the minister.
Grandparents Want Boy,
Following the funeral, Mr. Totts.told
is parents-inlnw that ne was goiug
awny and intended to take his eight-
nr-old son "itli him. To this the
liindparentH objected, declaring that
otts could not earn for him. PottH,
owever, answered tlmt .Mrs, rot to iinu
ifo insurance which he would get nnd
e win well able to en re for tho boy.
It, whs Wililiun Robertson, brother-ill
uw of Mrs. Potts, who hns carried tho
use to prosecution, as his suspicions
were aroused trom the nrst, reaching
lie conclusion tlmt his wife's sister had
met foul day, and he wns determined
o prove if possible, his conclusions.
Tho body of Mrs, Potts was exhumed
herp Saturday, and three physicians,
Drs. Chilton and Ashford, of Canyon
:ity, nnd Dr. Belknap, of Prairie City,
made tho examination. Their Investi
gations of the black marks on tho neck
revealed the fact that a bono had been
broken, Tho stomach was sent to tho
state chemist at Corvallis for examin
ation.
Sheriff Wolsh will leave here today
for Portland and will tnko tho Shasta
Limited for the California city to re
turn Potts here for trial,
