The basket bail game in Music hall
tomorrow night is the talk of the town.
when the first game in the series be-
tween the regular Webster team and
the Reading Room quintet is played.
There is much speculation as to the
winner of the contest, and all sorts of
Wasers are being made
The probable line-up of the teams
viii be- For the Reading Room, John
scott, l. d. Ide, Henry Anderson, Hen
! ~ Haley and Sidney X Bartlett. while
| James McGeary, Frank Burr. Michael
| Thompson, Thomas ]. Reilly and Mich
olas Brenntff viii comprise the reg
ulars.
| Henry Haley will play on the Read
| ing Room team instead of with the
Websters. Burr will be matched
against him.
The centre of interest, however. will
| be placed in the playing of McGeary
and Ide. They will be lined up against
each other. Ide will play right back
while McGeary will figure as a left
forward.
On the final result of the game the
| betting seems to be in favor Of the
| Websters. although the Reading Room
boys are strongly supporting their team
| The betting is also in favor of the Web
sters in the result of the series. A large
number of tickets have been sold, anG
the attendance Will probably be the
largest that has assembled In Music

Death of a South
bridge Landlord.
END WAS SUDDEN.
Had Been in the Hotel
Business Many Years.

Southbridge, March 15.-George W
Faulkner, landlord OF the Faulkner
House, died this evening suddenly from
Bright's disease. He was 50 years old
He had been i'll for some time. but his
condition was not considered serious
until within few hours of his death,
which occurred at $50.
The deceased has conducted the hotel
since 1875. and has also been engaged
in the catering business. He was we'll
known in Southbridge and vicinity, and
was a member Of the local Grand Army
post and Of the local lodge Of odd Eel
lows. He leaves widow, a daughter
Miss Lulu Faulkner, and two brothers,
David and Festus Faulkner, both of
whom are residents of the town.
Mr.. Faulkner came TO Southbridge in
1913, and when only 20 years old left
for the west. He located in Cleveland
as a hotel clerk, later going to Toledo.
where he worked in the same capacity.
In 1889 he went to St Louis and a
short time after went to Denver. then a
small mining camp. He prospected for
some time and had some thrilling ex-
periences with Indians. During his resi-
dence in the wild west ne became init
mately acquainted with Kit Carson, the
famous Indian scout.
At the outbreak of the civil war Mr..
Faulkner returned east and enlisted in
the Fifteenth Massachusetts regiment
and served through all of the engage
msnts in which this regiment took part.
He was never wounded, but the ex-
posure attendant upon army life and
service left him with rheumatism, from
which ne was a severe sufferer.
AT the close Of the war he returned
TO Southbridge and in 1875 established
himself in the hotel business. opening
the house that bears his name.

HAD MANY LIVES.

The vicinity Of Town Treasurer Oscar
Shumway's office was startled this fore
noon by the utterance of sharp, pierre
ing yelps. 1t proved to be the cries of
a water spaniel, valuable dog owned
by Frank Kemp, which had been run
over by a freight train. The heavy
wheels had severed one of the CANNES
legs.
A large crowd was soon collected. and
they stood around the poor dog watch
ing his sufferlngs. In the meantime,
Representative Joseph P. Love, who
was in Mr. ShumWay's office at the time
had rushed to Druggist Mason's store
for revolver, with which to end the
dogs misery, but before he had re-
turned, Prof. William J. McGeary, a
crack sharpshooter. had arrived on the
scene with his pistol and prepared to
end the beasts misery.
Waiting until he got a good chance
McGeary placed the revolver TO the
dogs head and pulled the trigger. The
shot only made the dog worse, for he
rolled around the sidewalk in fearful
agony. McGeary put two more shots
into the dogs head before Mr.. Love had
returned.
The dog apparently had as many lives
as a cat, for the three big bullets did
not end him, when Mr.. Love tried his
skill. He sent a bullet into the beasts
head. but that did not finish him, and
finally chloroform had to be admins
/ tertd by the officer.

men were mustered in. Since that time
the camp has mustered in, in all, fifty
seven men. The camp has always held
Its own and was among the first class
camps at inspection, having the honor
OF reaching the highest round once
since the organization.
The first regular meeting was held in
March, 1887. The camp honored the
memory OF Gen. Charles Devens of
worcester, member of the 18th Massa
chusetts regiment, by adopting his
name as an appropriate name for the
camp.
The past captains are: r. J. futile.
Henry Corbin. Edward Aldrich, Fred

BEACON STREET CROSSING.

The 16 laborers in the employ of the
New York, New Haven and Hartford
railroad today completed their task at
the Beacon Park crossing. The cross
ing is now impossible to traverse, and
from appearance, it looks as if it would
remain in that condition for a while
at least. The Consolidated has done its
work well. The trenches are eight feet
deep and are stretched for dozen feet
on both sides Of the tracks, where it
will take time and money to open the
road again
An article will be inserted in the town
warrant for the voters to decide wheth-
er they shall lay out that section of
the road as a public highway or not. If
they do that the citizens can cross the
tracks, providing no stumbling blocks
are laid in the way by the influential
Consolidated.
