Not Pretty, but Valuable.

In discussing the risks which pro-
fessional ball players run and the
prevalence of deorepit and crippled
fingers in the profession, the base
ball editor of the New York Herald
recalls the case of Silver Flint, once
a famous catcher, whose hands were
mutilated and pounded out of shape.
Back in the eighties Flint was in a
railroad wreck in Illinois. When
they dug him out he was badly
skinned and somewhat stunned.
Several surgeons who were at the
scene of the accident began hasty
examination of the half conscious
baseball catcher to discover what in
juries he had received. They found
none until they raised his right
hand. 1t was bloody (from a cut in
the wrisD, and of course in it's nat
ural unshnpeliness. Good heav.
ems exclaimed one of the surgeons,
the poor fellow hash t q whole bone
In his hand. 1t will have to be am
putatod. Silver was regaining con-
seriousness and heard the doctor 8
decision. Jerking the member from
the would be amputator' s grasp, he
yelled: Cut it off, eh? Well, guess
not! lisa bit ont of gear, but there's
not another i'll the League that can
stop wild pitch so we'll. Excuse
me; I'll keep 1t. I've use for it in

SAYS HE is INNOCENT.
Collector Gagne Of Lewiston, Ar
rested for ENLIGHTENMENT.
His Bondsmen Also Sued 10 Recover Amount
OF The Deficit.

Lewiston, Dec. 10 Suit was brought,
this morning, by the city of Lewiston,
against the bondsinen of J. +. Gagnc. tax
collector of Lewiston, for the year 1898,
who is $4,000 short in his accounts.
The Lewiston Journal says Two sensa-
tons have happened in the case of j. T..
Gagne of Lewiston, who is $4,000 short In
his collections with the city
In the first place the city solicitor has
s1cd the signers of the $50, 600 bond
The next step was the arrest of Mr.
Gagne, his arraignment and the placing
of bonds at $4,000. The charge against
Gagne, on which he was arraigned at 9
p. NJ, was embczzlement. The warrant
was sworn out by City Solicitor Crockett
and was placed in the hands of Deputy
Marshal Sands, who found him ut his
grocery store on Lincoln street.
Mr.. Gagne pleaded mot guilty" and
said that re thought he could get bonds
He appeared much excited and concerned
and evidently had not expected arrest.
In the suit against the bondsmen the
writ was served by Deputy Sheriff Cum
mings of Lewiston, who listened, if we are
to judge by what he says, to some very in
teresting conversation from the gentlemen
in question, who are Il. Blonin, Arthur
ReDy, ", +. Cloutier Frank Pinnette and
Mr.. George A. Wiseman. They say EN-.
phatically that they will take the case in
earnest and give it a fair trial. Among
the attorneys they have consulted are
Savage & Cakes, McGillicuddy & Moxey,
and Joseph Chabot, ESQ
Friends of Mr.. Gagne are suggesting to
him that he go through insolvency as the
best way out of a part of his present en-.
tapglcments. He still adheres to the be
lief that he has been robbed, and says that
he Is innocent Of any evil intent.
