Higginsville Advance: "While paint
ing the guttering of the Merchants hotel,
Monday afternoon, Ed Becker met with
what might rave been a very serious acci-
dent. His attention was attracted by
Company 'K,' which was forming in
line at the city hall. Ed looked around,
and In doing so, slipped and fell from the
room to the porch below, a height OF
about fourteen feet. Luckily no bones
were broken. Ed picked himself up,
assembled the ladder and finished his
work" When a man falls q "height" OF
fourteen feet and is not seriously hurt, he
ought 10 be thankful.
Last Sunday afternoon a young girl was
drowned in a branch near the residence
of Mr.. Glenn Tyree. Miss Nully, a grown
young lady, and her sister, a young girl
of about 10 or II years, had been
visiting in the n~eighborhood, and a heavy
rain had fallen. After the rain they
started home, and while crossing the
branch, which is ordinarily an insignif-
can't stream, but which was much swollen
at that time, the girl, who was driving,
dropped one OF the lines. She made an
effort to reach over and pick up the line,
and fell forward out of the buggy into the
stream. The horse stopped on the little
bridge, and the sister made an effort 10
rescue tho drowning girl, and she also
came near being drowned. The Nully
family live near the bridge, and soon
heard the bad news. The body was
quickly recovered, but too late, as life
was extinct.
The Missouri State University sent q
base ball team to Lexington, last Satur-
day, to pound the living out of the Went
worth Academy team. But they didn't
do 1t by a long shot. The UPS were big,
stout fellows, and showed that they
were fond of good living. Our boys
treated them like princes, and had an
extra good dinner that day for their dis
tinguished guests. When the game was
called at three O'Clock, the UPS acted
theayily, while our boys were full OF life
and srargy. The UPS made one point in
the first half of the first inning, and they
caught goose eggs from that time till the
last inning, when our boys thought IL tc
1 was too bad, aud let them get another
point. We did not play the last half of
the ninth inning, but Just quit with the
score standing II to 2 in favor of w. M. A.
In the last half of the first inning one of
the visitors on first base attempted to
catch a hot liner, but did not get his
hands close enough together, and caught
the ball on his right temple. Subsequent
proceedings did not interest him to any
great extent. This was the only accident
worth mentioning, though the pitcher
would occasionally plant a strawberry
mark on a betsman, which would make
him grunt and rub his back. Our boys
could have played a little better game,
but there was no need for it. They had
the game won at the end of the third
inning.
