KY, has been lost in the Big Horn mountains
for the last three weeks He lost his way in a
storm while crossing a divide between the two
ranches twenty miles apart. A searching
party found his horse last week with saddle
and blankets gone. Happy had evidently
taken the blankets and saddle as a covering to
protect himself from the storm and turned his
horse loose. The chances Of recovering the
body before the SHOWS are gone from the

WORLD OF SPORTS.

The drug clerks and the hardware clerks played game of ball on the West End grounds yesterday and the former team again demonstrated the fact that they know how to play ball. The game was hard fought one, but the lead was held by the pill makers from the start to finish. Coming down the home stretch the hardware men closed up the gap, but the druggists put on an additional spurt and won at 8 canter. Bad errors on the part of the infield of the hardware team lost them the game. They were the heaviest hitters, but poorest base runners. It was their first game, however, and with a little practice they could give the medicine men good tussle. The bat tery for the latter was Cassidy and MOr- gan; for the hardware clerks, Smith and Fox. There were but few accidents, tive being credited to the druggists, Webster splitting his finger andICassidy receiving ''stub'' that will bother him some. The coaching of Charley Adams of the drug clerks was feature of the game. The score at the finish was 19 to 16. Jimmy Ryan was the first man to knock a ball clear out of the Chicago grounds. A wonderful feat, consider ing the size of that ground.
 and Hamilton of the Philadelphias are rarely met with no one team. No mat ter where the ball goes, they make 8 break for it as soon as it's hit.
 It is said that the release of Pitcher Elton Chamberlain of the St Louis Browns has been sold to the Columbus club for 1000. Chamberlain has not played up to the standard this season, and claimed his arm was not in good condition. It is believed, however, in St Louis that his weakness was as- stunned, and that he has been playing for his release.
 Mickey Hughes, pitcher for the Brook lyn National league team has not report ed at headquarters since Monday of las week. He will be suspended or released.
 The ease with which the Phillies lit on Terrys curves yesterday was only equaled by the neatness and dispatch with which Lovett retired the visiting batsmen.
 D. T. Pulsifer, the owner of Tenny, deposited yesterday afternoon a check for $2, 500 with Secretary Lawrence of the Coney Island jockey club, showing his determination of matching Tenny against Salvador and Cassius. It is thought that match between the three will be made.

He Couldn't Even Fool . Greenhorn from

 The anxiety of newly married couples to appear ''like old married folks'' is proverbial, says the Cleveland Plain Dealer. When ex-Secretary of the Navy Whitney, then promising young attor- ney, was united in marriage to Miss Flora Payne, they started from Cleve- land on their wedding trip firmly re- solved to appear as if they had been married for years.
 'Now, if I appear little cold," said Mir. Whitney to his bride, remember I am orly acting my part" When the train reached Ashtabula q verdant couple, showing beyond all doubt that they had just come from the altar, came into the car where MT. and Mrs. Whitney were seated.
 "Why, anybody could tell that that couple had just been married" said MT. | Whitney. "Just look at the mans bumps, the woman's flowers and all that. Nobody would doubt that they are bride and groom. Their dress shows that to anybody, but l don't believe we look quite so green"
 | After few hours the train stopped at station and MT. Whitney left the car for a few moments to smoke a cigar. | AS he paced up and down the platform 1 enjoying his Havana the Ashtabula groom stepped up and asked MT. Whit ney for light. The Ashtabula stogie was hardly lighted when the man who was pufang it, showing disposition to be friendly, remarked to MT. Whitney:
 "Well, partner, guess we are in the same boat"
 MT. Whitney was disgusted. He re- turned to the car and explained to Mrs Whitney:
 ''Flora, it's no use. Even that green. orn from Ashtabula has spotted us."

 Two Boys Run over by Freight
 Train in Hartford.
 HARTFORD, June 2O.-About 9:45 last night when the New York & New Eng land switcher No AT was transferring some cars from a recently arrived freight train, John Fahy and Patrick Doyle, boys of F and IS, had been riding on a freight car that was being switched and as the car came to a stop the boys got off to cross the tracks at Windsor street. Passenger locomotive No l23, which was coming down on an ad djoining track at fair rate of speed, struck both boys full with her cow catcher throwing them to one side. The locomotive was stopped within a short distance and it was found that the boys were very seriously hurt. Fahy was un- conscious from a bad gash near the left temple and was also hurt in the back and leg. Doyle walked across the track distance of about ten feet and sup ported himself upon chest near by. The cars had passed over his left heel and over the instep of the right foot The boys were removed to the hospital and it was found that Fahy's skull was fractured, and he had sustained internal injuries in addition to those already mentioned. Doyle's recovery is also very doubtful. His father refused to allow the surgeons to amputate his sons leg although the chances against his re covery are made still more dubiou! l thereby.
