Coon Rapids, Feb 2S.-Mrs. Carrie
Nation was very ably represented here
by Mrs. James Corrigan, living five
miles east. of town. She entered what
is known here as the South Side sa-
loon, walked up to her husband, de-
liberately pulled bottle of whisky
out of his pocket, turned, and with
fire in her eye and vengeance in her
heart, threw it with full force and true
aim at large mirror. behind the sbar,
and but for the accidental reach OF
the bartender, who struck it with his
hand, it would have fulfilled its mis-
sion. But, as it was, it fell to the
floor and broke into pieces. Then. with
good fair warning to the gentleman
never to sell her husband another drop
of liquor (Which he promised), she
took her hubby home

Maquoketa, Feb. 27.-An unknown
tramp was burned to death in the city
Jail yesterday. He could not be res
cued.
4. Monday night at about IL o'clock
an unknown man about 35 years of
age was arrested by the police for va
grancy. and shortly after that hour
was locked up in the station:
At Z o'clock yesterday morning the
station was discovered on fire, and
Immediately efforts were made to lib
crate the imprisoned man. When the
cell was reachd, however, it was too
late; for the unfortunate man was
dead. He was suffocated to death, as
the rescuers reached him before the
fire had a chance to consume the cell
in which he had been confined during
the night.
The coroner, who lives at Bellevue,
has been advised of the circumstances
and is now on his way to Maquoketa.
On his arrival an inquest win be held,
when it is hoped the identity of the
unfortunate stranger can be estab-
lished
The origin of the fire is mystery
and none of the officials of the town
are able to say how and where the
fire started. The police station was
badly damaged, but at this writing an
estimate of the loss has not been
made.

The Congestion o
Freight Business.
Western Traffic Manager For the
Erie Puzzled.

Not only the railway officials who
have to stay on the ground and take
the rush and the unpleasantness that
results from lack of ears, but the
general officials of all the roads are
concerned over the congestion of bus
mess and are trying hard to find a
solution of the difficulty. They visit
the different departments of the roads,
consult with local officials and try to
devise means for relieving the conges-
ton of business and the scarcity of
cars. This refers, of course to the
freight business. tH
The Erie, which has been for many
years primarily freight road, had
been among the largest sufferers from
this years rush. Mr.. Sam =. Shane,
western traffic manager of the road,
with headquarters at Chicago, was in
Akron Monday, and in company with
Mr.. c. w. Clarke, went over this di-
vision of the Erie aud looked over the
ground. He was impressed with the
seriousness of the condition, but like
the others has no solution as yet to
offer.

LEAGUE NOT FORGOTTON.
Now that the baseball season has
ended and the attention OF athletes
and sports liz directed elsewhere, the
situation, with reference to an Akron
league for next year, has been lost
sight OF. Toward the close of this
years playing there was great deal
of discussion over the matter for next
year and when the discussion ended II
was regarded as quite probable that
Akron would have q city league or get
| into one containing some of the out.
side clubs, when the grass grows green
again. The fact that the subject has
been forgotten and It Is known that
Akron daily Democrat. [volume] (Akron, Ohio) 1892-1902, 1901-10-24

all of the clubs still have it in mind
and will take the matter up again
when preparing for next years sports.
IN THE INTERSTATE.
A meeting OF the baseball enthus-
lasts of the old Interstate league is
to be held in Mansfield soon to con-
slider the feasibility of reorganlzing
the Interstate. Among the cities men
toned are Akron, Mansfield, ZNres-
vile, Springfield, New Castle. N.snl-
Ing, Ft. Wayne, and Dayton. There
is no doubt that If II good man would
place II strong club In Akron, as a
member of the Interstate, 1t woula
prove paying venture. Local sports
will push the cause along and next
year may see Akron with Il profes-
sional base ball club.

that Simms whipped him when they

realize that he was outclassed.

PLANETS PLANS.
Improvements to the baths and the
athletic property of the Planet Athlet-

With Choynski.

At Cincinnati the opinion Is that
Simms Will not have any OF the adyan-
tage IN the contest Friday night. Down
there they compare the records OF both
fighters and say that Furey has as
much chance as the Akron man.
He has an excellent record, has been
q conner OF more than usual merit ana
he will best the Akron man.
The contest Is drawing well and
indications are for record breaking

OF the contest, accompanied by Char
ley Gheen. Before he went he spoke
Of the feeling Of perfect health and
condition that has always been proph-
etic with him, so that whoever the
winner, Furey will know that he has
been In the hardest fight of his life.
The only element that worries the
sports is their suspense as TO whether
Governor Nash Will take hand. They
know that II he does, he will win in

ence there will be one Of the prettlest
contests that has ever been fought in

Died From OYerheat.

J. J. Brown. section foreman at La Guerta, p miles east on the $. P. ..died last Friday, supposedly from heat pros tration: Judge Reiff, acting coroner, was notified of the death, and on Satur- day empaneled jury and held an in- quest on the body, at La Gurta. The testimony given by the section men went to show that Brown had been stricken with the heat while out on the road. He became dizzy and blinded and had to be helped on to the hand car. The men took him to the section house, where he died in short time. The verdict was to the effect that the deceased came to his death by being overloaded. The body was buried at La Gurta by Undertaken Ben Heyl.
 According to the section hands Brown had only had charge of the section two weeks, and during that time had not provided himself with proper and suffi- cient food, and was unduly weakened on that account. There was no evil dence of his having been drinking, and it is the first fatal proStratiUn without this accompaniment thatwe have heard of in Arizona.
