injuries TO his head in the accident at Gar
riIon on Tuesday afternoon, il still at st.
Peters hospital under the treatment OF DE-.
Rockman. He il confined to his bed, but
il rapidly recovering. He was in the same
car with Miss Potter, the only person killed
In the wreck. Mr. Newbauef said that no
could not tell just how the young lady met
her death, the collision being 60 sudden.
He was picked up by some one and carried
to the station, where he remained for about
four hours before his wounds were dressed
BY one Of tho physicians sent to Garrison
by the railroad company. He spoke OF the
brave conduct of the engineer who sent
his engine at the approaching freight
train with full head Of steam. "Ibelieve,"
he said, "that If it had not been for the en-
gineer's timely action We would all have
bean killed"
Manager Muth sent Captain Gondolfo
over to Butte Monday to arrange for several
games with team from there. This trip
seems to have been fruitless, for he could
not induce the ball players Of the Smoky
CITY to come over the range and meet the
Athletics at the park. He offered to take
them over to Butte and meet the Butte
players on their own grounds, but this was
refused. There was . good deal Of talk
some time 400 about tho great ball players
of Butte. It looks as though the Butte
team has orawashed.

complish. During the winter they will work
ON the interior. The First ward and Sixth
ward school buildings are being pushed

some Of his relatives. Tho chief Of police

The genial E. Fl. Hubbard, of the Mon
tana Central railway, announces another
excursion over his popular line for next

Matsada sorakichi, the Jap, who is to
wrestle Quinn at the Athletic park next
Sunday, il an object Of much interest to
visitors at the Broadwater. He is hardly a
man whom person would take to be a
professional wrestler. His manager, Mr..
Zeigler. says "he is the biggest little man I
ever saw" He has massive shoulders, sur
mounted BY . large round head. His cheek
bones are very prominent and his small
black eyes alisten when hs gets excited.
The Jap speaks EnRlish we'll enough ia
make himself understood and is very po-
lite In his demeanor, except when attempt
ing to put IN opponents back on the door.
He thinks that tho hardest struggle he
ever had in the wrestling ring was whom he
met Carl Abts. The Jap laid in bed three
days after that match.
