Lexington, KY, April 1.-The past few

Trixie Dimmling, a 2-year-old sister Of

No one about American League headquar-
tiers seems to know anything about the
debonair Pete Husting, the Wisconsin
twirler, who was reported TO have signed

Joined the Boston Americans. Secretary
Hedges says that whatever is being done
in the Husting case is being accomplished
by Manager McAleer. However. the s..
Louis club has filed a formal protest with
President johnson against the signing CT
Husting with Boston, claiming that he is
still under reserve from the old Milwaukee
club. In the event that Harper is tied
up in a legal knot, Husting would be
needed. and the local management does not
propose to let Boston have him. Ban john

National had used one-fourth of that
amount two years ago they might have
succeeded in raZing the foundation of what
is now the American League, but they were
slow to recognize a rival and now it looks
as II the money will be wasted. Only a few
LaJoies and Burketts can be bought for
that sum-. 1t is the same mode of warfare
that broke up the Brotherhood. King Kelly
was the first to weaken in that fight and

OLD TIME ROMANCE.
Comes to Light in supreme Court
Proceedings.

Des Moines Aug 2.-Among the
papers filed today with the clerk of
the supreme court is the abstract of
evidence in the case OF Susanna Cas-
ley vs.. b. F. Mitchell, from Calhoun
county, appealed by the defendant
from the verdict in the lower court
giving Mrs Casley an interest in land
purchased from one John Wallace,
deceased. The testimony reveals q
romance covering long period of
years.
John Wallace died at Rockwell
City in 1898. He had lived there a
number of years, had accumulated
property and Mrs. Wallace a much
respected woman, was prominent in
the Presbyterian church. After his
death news came that Wallace had
left widow residing in Cornwall,
England. She made claim to certain
property. This was Susanna Casley,
who testified that John Wallace was
none other than John Casley whom
she married in the parish church of
st. just, Cornwall, in 1868, who later
deserted her and came to America
and from whom che had not heard
directly for many years. Mrs. Casley
won her suit in the lower courts.
Mrs. Wallace claims Mrs. Casley is

In June, 1869, this church was organ

yard. There were IS lay members, who
elected vestrymen, and services were
held in cheap little old frame building
in the middle of block of ground,
which was otherwise vacant and I'M

rounded with weeds, and it was in the
midst of the worst of the weeds of

work more needed at that time.
Rev. DR.. Steele devoted the remain
der of his life to the work of develop

was found to be difficult to secure as

THE NEW WELLS.
MIR. BOyer's Idea Svas Suggested Years
Ago

The Oskaloosa Water Company has
commenced drilling for it's new wells
on the south side of the river. r. M.
Boyer has the contract for the fur
nishing of the water from the new
wells. MIR. Boyer has had all kinds
of experience in the drilling of wells
and some years ago when the COM
pany put down the wells on the north
side of the river through the sand
drift Mr.. Boyer made an offer to the
company to get water for their use
from the south side OF the river. Mr..
Boyer's plans we're not listened to at
the time but the arguments advanced
by the gentleman have evidently been
considered since for the management
of the company communicated with
him not long since to know If he
would renew the offer to furnish
water that he made upon previous
occasion. Mr.. Boyer stated that he
was and hence it came about that he
became engaged in the work. The
drill has been at work number of
days and has now passed through
about thirty feet of lime rock. IL is
below this lime rock stratum that
Mr.. Boyer expects to find water. If
the first well is successful the amount
of water that 1t can furnish will be
determined and then the number of
wells necessary to furnish given
quantity of water. The outcome of
the drilling will be watched with in
terest by many people.

SERIOUS FALL.
G VI smith Meets Wsqh a Very Painful
Accident

Carp M. Smith, father of F. E..
Smith, was quite seriously injured
Friday evening in an accident at the
barn on the Durfee place, corner of
Fourth street and G avenue. The
old gentleman fell down a ''feed
way" from the hay NOW to the floor
below and sustained a fractured
shoulder blade and rib. Mr.. Smith
is 80 years of age and the accident is
more severe on him that it would be
with person of less years.
Mr.. Smith was attending to his
horse and had gone into the NOW
about eight O'Clock to throw down
feed for the animal. He did not know
of the old and unused feedway and
stepped into it, falling to the floor
below. Wilbur Jones heard the
groans of the old gentleman, as also
did Dwight Downing who lives near.
They fastened to the barn and found
him in an almost insensible condi-
ton sitting in the doorway of the
barn. He had dragged himself from
the place where he fell but was help
less and suffering intensely. He was
assisted to the house and DR.. Terrell
administered to his needs. Having a
great amount of strength no appre-
hension is felt as to the outcome Of
