CUT OFF HIS LEG
With a Penknife After Surgeons Re-
fuse to Operate

Arcola, Ill, April 11.-Warren Murphy,
who is now 20 years of age, has been
deformed from birth. All his life he
has been suffering from a shriveled
limb, caused, it is said, from diseased
flesh and bone.
All along the lad has begged to have
the limb amputated, but the physicians
have invariably refused to perform the
operation, stating that to do so meant
certain death. The other day young
Murphy went to the home of his broth
er. Harry Murphy, and while the latter
was absent from the lads presence the
boy took his pocket knife and severed
the disea sed foot from the ankle. He
then called to his brother to show him
what he had done The horror-stricken
brother rushed from the house. and Sc
curing a handful of snow, applied it to
the wound and soon succeeded in stop
ping the flow of blood. The wound is
healing very rapidly, and the boys
health is considerably improved.

HANLON IS DISAPPOINTED.
Showing of the Brooklyns Against
the oriole Aggregation Not
to His Liking.

Baltimore, April 11--Manager HanIon
as sorely disappointed over the showing
made by his reorganized Brooklyn team
against the Baltimore team of young
sters in the practice series of games
just ended at Augusta, Ga. The Balti-
mores won two out of the three. With
the exception of Willie Keller the old
stars taken by HanIon to Brooklyn
were eclipsed by some of the Baltimore
new ones. AS a result HanIon has ia
ken First Baseman Smith and Pitcher
McFarlan from the Orioles.
HanIon's apparent intention to use
Baltimore as a farm and McGraW and
Robinson as coachers and trainers has
so disappointed the Baltimore public
that little interest will be taken in the
game.
Hanlon claimsNthat he has put himself
at odds with some of the Brooklyn pat
to claim MagoOn and to retain one or
two men who have already shown their
worth on any team.
Just now, however. in the matter Of
pitchers, readjustment is necessary, be-
cause Hughes will not be on hand when
nor Kennedy is in championship shape.
Dunn also had a bad shoulder.
The Californian is still at his home.
Jennings wired him yesterday and got
the reply that he did not intend to sign
this years contract at the salary
named. For this reason Hanlon says
he must have McFarlan, but will re-
turn him to Baltimore when no longer
wanted. The Baltimore team as now
made up for the season in the field is as
follows:
McGraw, third base; Sheckard, right
field; Holmes, left field; Brodie, center
field; O'Brien, second base; La Chance,
first base. MaROOn. ShOrtStOD.

1t was pay day at the lumber camp,

Of dollars were on hand to pay the en-

them a short time before the arrival of
the outlaws. All of the workmen had
dispersed except about fifty, and these

Suddenly the door was thrown open by
two cowboys, armed with Winchesters.
They walked up to Cashier Davfdson's
desk and demanded all the money in his
possession.
The cashier informed the highway
men that he had paid out all the money
he had, but they were not satisfied and

PLATT KEEPS HIS THREAT.
Getting Even With New York Saloon
lists For Supporting Tammany.

New York, April 1.-THE New York
brewers and saloonkeepers are now
feeling the effects of their supporting
Tammany in the last election. At that
time Mr.. Plat threatened that a reck-
oning day would come, and he has kept
his threat.
Today he forced the passage of the
pure beer bill. which is alleged to have
been drawn in the interests of public
health. Just picture this countenancing
the sale of beer in unlimited quantities,
but still looking after the public health.
But it has passed and the result is that
the measure will prove a heart-breaking
blow to the brewerieS of this state and
an immense benefit to those of adjoining
states. A pure beer commission is
to be appointed tomorrow from the fac
ton of Governor Platt and his political
partner to investigate how beer is man
ufactured in New York, and whether
or not it is pure. There will be no more
embalmed beer" as the future stand
ard is to be fixed high, but some of the
consumers say that if they have t. use
beer they would prefer having it "em-
balmed'' here than in another state.
The brewers and saloonkeepers now
realize the old maxim, THE mills of
the gods grind slowly, etc.
