M'QUADE RESIGNS.
Had Trouble with Marty" Swift OF the
Local, ,rSlussers.

McQuade, the, popular left fielder of
the CarbondaH Base Ball club has re-
signed. At~ieast this is what Dame
Rumor sSSs. and there is probably some
truth in/the report. When called upon
tiStain Westlake he was told that
iMcQuade was sick and unable TO see
him. Thus the team left for Halle
ton yesterday minus one of their best
players.
1t is said that the trouble arose at the
game Saturday. McQuade was told to
bunt the ball, but instead knocked out
a two-bagger Swift, who aims to keep
discipline in his ranks, fined him so
after the game. Swift was perfectly
justified in this. but McQuade couldn't
see it and so did not leave with the club.
The team will be greatly weakened by
his leaving and it is to be hoped that
the matter will soon be settled

The Roeseh Drowning

In last weeks paper was a brief
mention of the sad death of Roy
Roeseh OF Potosi. The particulars
are as follows: The party OF which
Mr.. Roeseh was a member were
eamped on an island about three
miles below Specht Ferry. Between
the island and the Wisconsin shore is
a government dam. The camp was
situated about $50 yards below the
dam and there was a tisherman's camp
about 100 yards above the dam on
the opposite shore. The whole party
had been bathing in the Il ternoon nj
a point some distance from head
quarters but toward evening all re-
turned to camp except Roesch and
Fhil holb. They went first to the
iishermen's camp and from there
swan down to about the middle Of
the dam. From there they started to
swim to camp. After proceeding n
little way Roeseh returned and rave
his hat to Charley Hunt, a boy about
eight years of age, who was on the
dam with them. He then started
after Kolb but had made but a few
strokes until he went down. Charley
Hunt gave the alarm and in a short
time. perhaps five minutes. the whole
party were on the dam and the body
was recovered. Bv means Of crab
hooks brought by the fishermen and
a boat rowed to the scene bv Raw
Walker, the body was secured almost
as soon as the place was reached.
The hooks attached themselves to the
bathing suit and by means of them
and the assistance of Mr.. Kolb. who
was still in the water. the BODY was
at once brought to the surface. 1t
was found about eight feet from the
dam. For an hour or more every
effort possible was made to restore
breathing and restore life but the eff
forts were fruitless. It is believed
that drowning had but little ii any,
thing 70 do with Mr.. Roesch's death
but that it was a case of heart failure.
There were no marks OF any kind to
Indicate any hurt or accident.
Among the people present besides
those mentioned were Messrs Spauld-
ing, Colburn and kaltenbaeh and
Mrs. Hunt and daughters and Misses
Seaton. S%paulding and Hymer.

Caught in the Act.

A few days since an engineer on
the Illinois Central Railroad went in
to a hotel at Freeport to get a glass
of beer. just as he was lifting the
glass to his lips a snap shot at him
with a kodak. Without an instant's
hesitation he threw the glass and beer
at the spoilers head. He then
knocked him down and then gave him
a thorough drubbing and ended by
smashing his picture machine. The
engineer then went to the railroad
office. wrote out his resignation and
sent it to headquarters. Taking the
natural view of it. almost anyone
would say the engineer had shown
the proper spirit; but on the other
hand. travellers will feel safer for
knowing that railroad companies i'm
sist on having men OF temperate
habits to run their trains.-South-
