A CLOSE CALL.
William II. Martin Struck on the Temple
by Baseball.

The baseball season is not starting out
very auspiciousy. Following closely
upon the heels of Fridays accident, in
which young Dunn Wallace was fatally
injured by being hit by a baseball SIM
liar mishap occurred yesterday to Will
liam II. Martin, a clerk in the employ of
Case, Gravelle & Erwin. which it was
feared for a time might terminate with
the same lamentable result. as in the case
of the unfortunate sChOolboE.
Young Martin is member of the clerks
nine. which has challenged the employees
of the court house to a game of ball. 1t
was during a practice game of the clerks
at Athletic park yesterday afternoon that
Martins mishap befell him. He was at
bat when pitched ball that went wild
struck him on the temple and sent him to
the ground unconscious. He lay in terri
bic commissions for some minutes while
an effort was being made to get medical
assistance. AS no doctor was within call
he was taken in a carriage to his room al
21I South Arizona street. and a physician
summoned, who found the injury not as
serious as had been feared. Late last
evening he had recovered consciousness
and was reported entirely out of danger

Springs. Fisher. at least, was heavily
jagged, and on the way out got to run
ming the horse. When about opposite
the Blue Bird mill just east of Rocker
his horse became unmanageable. either
from fright or being beaten. and made a
terrific lunge to one side Of the road. The
animal collided with a telegraph pole and
the buggy was overturned and both occu-
pants thrown with great violence to the
ground. Fisher lit on his head and was

was summoned by telephone. went out and
brought in the injured couple. Fisher re-

musical blacksmiths, the comedy mu-
steal trio, the Juggling Johnsons and a
number of soloists, among whom are
Manuel Roman, the great Jimmy
Vale. Edward Hanson, b. S. Carnes,
Harry Ernest and w. H. Thompson, all
contributed good things to make up an
ideal minstrel performance. The au-
dience seemed unable to get enough of
Dockstader, whose humor and comedy
kept them in a constant roar of laugh

again. The staging was splendid ana
