GAMWoN'S F1rAL INJURY.
A Bill by the Georgia Legislature TO Pro-
hibft the Game.

ATLANTA. GA. oct 30.-Spccial.-The
game at Brisbine Park this afternoon was
the hardest fought contest ever seen on a
southern field. The game was rough and
tumble from the very beginning, and to-
night Won Cannon. Of Rome. Ca, the
crack full back Of the Georgia team. lies
on cot in the Grady i.OsDit3l fighting
back the lowering spectre Of death.
He was injured I'm the latter half Of the
game and was carried from the grounds
i'm an ambulance. with n half dozen phy-
sicians at his side. They at once pro-
nounced the young player in precarlous
condition.
FELL HEAVILY.
In a snappy rapid attempt 10 buck the
Virginia line he fell heavily on his head.
and the doctors say tonight the blow
produced I'm all probability concussion Of
the brain. and that all the chances are
against his recovery. Cannon lay un-
conscious ffty-ons minutes. while opiatcs
were injected 10 relieve his suffering. Az
ter a temporary relief he relaDsed into
Inconsistencies. and is now unconscious
and rapidly sinking.
The accident had a depressing effect on
the Georgia boys and the game was
easily won by Virginia.
Cannon was one Of the brightest young
men al the university.
His parents have been telegraphed for
and his physicians say that they Will
probably not see him alive.
ANOTHER FATAL ACCIDENT.
Another fatal accident resulting from
the game was a head-ond collision on
the line Of the Atlanta StIeet Railway
Company. A crowded car c0fning into the
city from the ball park was totally wreck
ed the motorman fatally injured and
several others seriously injured.
The Legislature was i'm session, and
movement is on foot tonight 10 have a
bill introduced in the Legislature and
rapidly pushed through both houses pro-
hibiting the game Of football in Georgia.
ALMOST A PANIC.
No fatality I'm recent years has created
such intense excitement. There were over
four hundred college boys at the park
at the time the accident occurred, and
fully six thousand other spectators, and
a stampede almost occurred.
Members OF faculties Of nearby colleges
who witnessed the game this afternoon
say a movement will begin az once 10
have the game ruled out Of intercolle-
giate athletic contests.
This will meet with decided opposition.
hut the killing Of young Common Will
for time at least have the effect Of call
ing OF the schedules for the Georgia
team.

AN INTELLIGENT DOG.
Following n Trolley Car Is One of
His Accomplish ents.

There are dogs and dogs, but the
little liver and white fox terrier owned
by C. M. Florey, the Wyoming ave-
nue. sporting goods dealer, comes
about as near to possessing human
intelligence as a dumb animal can.
His name is Bob" and he is we'll and
popularity known to everyone along
the block in which his masters place
of business is located. In fact he ap-
pears to take as much interest in the
commercial life in that neighborhood
as do any of the proprietors or clerks.
1t is "Bob's" custom nearly every
day to follow the car which carries
Mr. Florey to and from his home on
the West Side, over a mile away from
the store. No matter how crowded or
lively the streets may be the little
liver and white animal never loses the
car. Whenever it halts at a street cor
ner Bob" stops also and posts him
self at the outside rear step, ready to
follow his master in case he alights.
On the day of Forepaugh's circus,
and with the Providence tracks occu-
pied by scores of cars and the streets
thronged with pedestrians and vehicles
Bob" appeared at the car step to
greet one of Mr.. Florey's clerks who
did not know he had been followed by
the dumb attache of the store. There
is a rule which prevents the admission
of dogs to the circus, and Bob" was
sent home. Instead of returning to the
store he went to the West Side house
via the fields back of Athletic park
and thence along North Main avenue.
This was learned later from a gentle
man who knew the dog Bob" had
never been over the route before,
1t is the custom of the store clerks
in the Wyoming avenue block to GO
to the Westminster cafe, across the
street for a refreshing glass of but
termilk or lemonade. Bob" thus
| learned of the tempting array of free
cold meat and other delectables con-
tained in the place. 1t is his habit tc
enter the cafe several times during the
day to satisfy his empty stomach. He
is too high bred to be satisfied with
the crumbs or refuse on the floor but
will go behind the bar and ask as
plainly as a dog can for something tC
| eat" A very little satisfies him ano
after a grateful look he scampers of
to return when he is again hungry.

SIOk1 Ot' DEf hNSE,
NJ j. Walsh, attorney for Doyle, ar
gued to thb effect that the injury
resulted in friendly wrestling match,
and that Sakalowskus was basely try
ing to blackmail Doyle. The jury
thought that was a good story but
refused 10 believe It. However. IL re-
duced the crime to simple assault and
battery.
Joseph Bestech was on trial at ad-
journment for assault and battery on
John Baris. May 20 last there was a
fight near Baris' home. He interfered
In the capacity of peacemaker and was
carried home on a shutter. Bestech,
one of the combatants, threw the stone
which laid him out, he alleges. Attor-
ney J. J. Manning is assisting Mr..
Thomas in the presentation Of the COM
monwealth's side of the case. Attor-
ney John r. Martin represents the de-
fendant.
The jury in the common pleas case
Of John w. Jones against Lille M. and
Lizzie e. Mackey, came In yesterday
the plaintiff.
The case of Maggie A. Jones against
Bramin Green, which Is to be called
today. will, II is likely, attract some
attention. Green Is accused OF being
the cause of Miss Jones' unfortunate
condition. He proposes to establish his
innocence by showing that the results
of bar room quarrel some five years
ago renders him irretrieveable to such
q charge.

| ters in this city during the convention.
