Monday which the boys turned upon him in
great style. Ebright was away, and Nc
Guken ordered the boys to work. The men
went to practice, and as the day was very
warm Nc desired to Quit after an hours
work, but the remainder Of the team would
not agree to il, and the left fielder was kept
on the jump in the hot sun for three hours.
There is no foundation for the report that
D0oley and Stallings were instrumental in
having Ebright released from the San Jose
team. There never has been any clash be-
tween these men, as the captain himself ac-
knoweldges.
1t is now stated that if Chick Spear is able
to resume the place as catcher for the San
Jose team next week Stallings will play
first and Dooley will go to third.
Danny Long, center fielder for the Oak
lands, is still on the sick list with his lame

Already 1t is murmured that while Dooley

Suddenly the younger Vandyck pointed to

SEES WITH HALF AN EYE,
The Other Half Was Stricken with
PARALYSIS.

The Other Half Was Stricken With
Paralysis.
In Ward q of the First Medical Division
at Bellevue Hospital, DR.. Schneider, house
physician, has for a patient woman De-
culiarly afflicted by paralysis. One-haif of
her right eye is paralyzed, but she can sec
with the other half. One-half of her tongue
is paralyzed, but the other side retains its
functions as we'll as ever. Her right side is
so numb that it can be touched without the
patients knowledge. She can eat on only
one side of her mouth. Her aft lotion ex-
tends down the right side of the neck, and
has rendered her right arm helpless. The
paralysis continues along the side of the
body and down the lower limb. Above the
eye the stroke describes a semicircle to the
back OF the hand, which portion is also
without sensation.
The most plausible theory, the doctors
have agreed, Is that the brain Is responsible
for the stroke. Taking this for granted.
there are ten different causes, either of
which might be the origin. A tumor within
the brain of sufficient size to create press
ure on the nerves governing the parts af-
fected could result in paralysis. If this is
the cause there is little hope for cure.-The

From the cornice of one of the tall build

by the painters pulling on tackle at either
end Few men can look up from the walk
at the scaffold, swaying about under the
cornice and the men coolly plying their
brushes, without feeling the flesh creep a
little. The breaking of rope means death
to the men on the scaffold and, perhaps, to
two or three pedestrians. Should one of
the men lose his balance and fall he'd strike
the flagstones and have every bone broken.
Three OF four OF us were looking up from
doorway opposite, when one of the painters
dropped his brush and lurchpd out as If
drunk. The other cried out to him sharply,
and he lay down on the scaffold as If help
less. The man had either taken sick or was
overcome BY fright. There WIS no one on
the roof. We saw the other painte look up
and around in an anxious way, and then he
crept along the scatfold to his partner. If he
tried to brace him up IL was failure. He
took the slack of the rope and passed it
about him so that he could not roll OFF, and
then began hosting up the scaffold. He
pulled that end up about two feet, and then
crept down and raised the other to CORE

There was lift of ten or twelve feet, and
he passed from end to end of the scaffold

man lay as ii Dead and WAS pulled off on to

Rules were adopted to govern such strikes
in the future and an assessment of 81 per

HUNG TO RAFTERS.

How the Blenders Were Swung Up in
Their House by the Mob.
K B. Randolph, an attorney of this city,
who has just returned from Nickerson.
Kan, says that he there made the ac-
quaintance of Tom Doolittle, an old-time
fighter, who told him story of the famous
Bender family, which, If true, settles all
question as to the whereabouts of the family
of murderers.
D0olittle says that after the murder of
York a baud of searchers, headed by the
murdered mans brother, went to the BEN
der house and ext0rted confession from
the old woman. They then quietly pro-
ceeded to hang old man Bender, his wife and
son to the rafters of the house. During this
proceeding Kate Bender uttered some pro-
test, and was shot to death. After the fam
lily had been dispatched, York's avengers
took the bodies to the creek bed some yards
distance from the house AMI buried them.
The attention of family living on an ad-
jacent ranch was attracted to the Bender
place some days after by starving calf,
and then the absence of the family was first
made known to the public. This gave rise
to the report that the murderous family had
fled to avoid punishment, and caused the
prolonged search after them by the officers
Of the law.-St. Joseph (Mo) Special to Gin
