SEEKS TO HAVE LIVING
CONVICT DECLARED DEAD
PORTLAND, May SO. — James I_
Level, head in the Multnomah County
jail on an execution against the body
for debt, is making an effort in the
circuit court to have his cousin. John
M Level, a convict in San Quentin
prison, in California, declared legally
dead.
John M. Level, the convict, holds a
judgment against James L Level for
$1 43. Friends of John M. Level
caused the arrest of James L Level
and are paying his board in the coun
ty jail in an effort to force him to
sa'lsfy the judgment. W. F. Lord, at
torney for James I_ Level, contends
that the statutes of Oregon and Cali
f mh hold a convict civilly dead.
The other side contends there is a
distinction between "cirilly dead” and
“legally dead.”

“DOC” IS SMART
DON’T YOU KNOW?
NOBODY CAN UNDERSTAND WHY j
HE MADE SUCH A PLAY.
The l*ase ball boys got together !
yesterday afternoon and decided to
choose up sides and have a little 1
game, nud in the mix-up Doc. Walker j
was chosen to play on one side. The
game progressed very nicely and
Walker's team was getting a little
the best of the argument, when a ter
rible thing happened; Doc got bean
ed. and was able to get to first base
which made three men on bases and
no one out. Doc decided that he j
could steal second base with the ball i
in the pitcher's hand. Well, he at
tempted It, ran the man on second i
off. anan on second ran the man on i
third off, and the man on third had
to go home (or try to.) The result i
was that Walker's side was retired, :
i and they lost the game.
We have not yet been able to fig
i ure out just what was in Walker's
! mind. Walker called it a "sacrifice
: steal." (it sacrificed three of his own
linen), and says that he is going east
| to put McGrtlw of the New York
' Giants on to the play. It is a good
play, if the opposing pitcher has a
weak heart, for the only way in the
world that it could work would be to
have the said pitcher die with a death |
grip on the ball, so that it could not
be taken from his hand. In that
event the man at third might score.
Yours truly, HARVEY.
