VIM. WILLIAMS KILLED.

Sunday the sad news was telephoncd
to this city that VIM. Williams, a former
resident OF Pullman, had been killed
Saturday morning by falling tree while
at work at the Watcher mine, at Flor
enre, Idaho.
Owing to the isolation OF the mining
camp, particulars OF the death are as yet
meagre, but it appears that at the time
Of the accident Mr.. Williams was work
ing near the mine, in company with G..
0. Morrell and Harry True, telling a
tree. As the tree was falling Harry True
appeared to be in dangerous position,
and Mr.. Williams stood watching his
comrade make his escape, apparently
thinking himself beyond the reach Of
danger, but the topmost branches OF the
tree struck him, crushing him to the
ground and killing him instantly, his
skull being crushed and an arm broken.
True escaped uninjured.
The remains of the dead man were
tendery cared for and Il messenger was
dispatched to notify friends ana rela-
tives in this city OF the sad affair, and
J. M. Williams, brother OF the deceased,
left at once for Florence. The remains
we're placed in the snow awaiting the
arrival of the brother, but sinterment
will undoubtedly be necessary at Flor
,nce, owing to the bad condition OF the
mountain trad from the camp
The deceased was young man pepu-
ar among his acquaintances, aud there
is genuine mourning at his untimely
| DEATH.

rROEEsS0RS y. STUDENTs.

I'ndouhtedly the most exciting game
OF base bail of the season was the affair
between the class OF '9S Of the college
and the college faculty, last Thursday
afternoon. The game was a surprise In
more ways than one, and proved con
clusiyely that the professors understood
base bail as well "a Greek, Latin, and
the sciences, and it proved just rs con-
clusively that if the understanding OF
the class ot '95 OF Greek, Latin and the
sciences is to lie Judged by its ander-
standing OF base ball, its four years Of
college can be put at naught.
At the end Of the first inning the score
was - to / in favor Of the professors; at
the end of the fifth the students still had
their one score, and the professors bad
solved thc problem OF the bases y times.
The seniors run in ten scores in the next
two innings through the Kindness OF the
professors, and at the end of the ninth
inning, when the agony was completed,
the professors had won by a score OF 4G
to II.
The professors who played ball were
Webster, pitcher; Fulmer, catcher;
Darrow, 1st b. Spillman, 2nd b; Waller
Bird b; Heileman, 8. S.; Doane, +. f.;
Eoge, |. f.; Watt, c. f. Piper played for
a couple of innings. when he went to the
bench, and Egge took the field.
The seniors who tried to play were
McCroskey, pitcher; Doolitile, catcher;
Corner, lst b. Tannatt, 2nd b.; Brodie,
3rd b. Thompson, s. s.; Boozer, +. f..
Philips, |. f. Barkhuf, c. +. The seniors
held their positions we'll, but they didn't
seem to know what to do while holding
them.
