STOPPED CARS
Electricity Of Saturday Nights Storm
Burned out the Coils Of the
Power SIlOusc.

Sunday morning the stree, cars
started as usual, the early cars hav-
ing made one trip during the storm.
Then there was Il crash somewhere on
the line and the powerful electric cur
rent tipped along the trolley wire into
the power house and into The dynamo
which generates the current for the
car line. The big coils we're burned
and fused together and the plant stop
ped running. There are several coils
and it is not known how many were
burned out, so an expert was sent for
from Kansas CiJy to do the repairing.
The coils will have to be examined, g,
and the injured ones unwrapped ana
built new.
After the crash Sunday morning
not a car left the barn aud people who
expected to travel we're disappointed.
As it was Il cold, bleak day after the
rain, the traffic thus stopped was
much lighter than on an ordinary
Sunday, The storm also prevented
the ball game with Erie scheduled at
the river.
When the power was shut off only
one car was out on the line. 1t had
just left Gas City and climbed over
the hill to the west Without any
motor power it coasled down the hill
to the power house and was easily
pushed into the barn. The men have
no idea at what point on the line the
heavenly current did up the Crouch
current.

TRAIN STRUCK A WAGON
Saturday Nights Santa Fc Plug Very
Nearly Killed t.. h. Dye cnl
Family.

The Santa Fc plug, south houud
Saturday evening, was u little late
pulling into the depot and when IL ar
rived the trainmen carefully helped u
man and woman and two children in
to the depot. The man was +. ID.
Dye, who lives on the Christy farm
four miles north Of lola, and the other
people we're his family. The train ran
into their wagon at the crossing north
of town and it is wonder all were
not killed.
Mr.. Dye says he was driving north
and saw the train coming but thought
it was freight and did not hurry
particularly. Another rig crossed
the track right ahead Of him, delaying
his approach. lie whipped up as the
train approached, knowing his team
would frighten if he remained close to
the crossing. When ne got squarely
on the track his team SHE'D and when
he hit them jumped to one side in
stead of straight ahead. In spite of
the air brakes the engine plunged into
the rig, throwing the wagonand its oc-
cupants high in the air. The train
stopped, picked up the injured and
brought them to town. Mr.. Dye has q
badly bruised and sprained limb,
Mrs. Dye was sore and Jared 10y the
fall, the ten year old boy was unhurt
and the baby girl had II bruise on her
calf. DR.. Teas was called and decided
that no bones were broken. MIR. S. M.
Cooper took the family to his home
for the night and his boys went out to
the farm to look after the horses
which escaped uninjured.
1t is certainly Il most fortunate
thing that one or all OF the occupants
Of the wagon were not instantly
killed. The family was taken home
Sunday and aside from soreness are
all getting along nicely.

HUMBOLDT WON THE GAME
Took a Game by Score of to 0 in the
Mud From the lola League Team
Friday

But for the rain land threatening
clouds large crowd would have wit
messed the game at Che fair grounds
between the Humboldt amateur team
aud the lola League team.
Everybody was surprised at the re-
suit, , to 0 in favor of Humboldt
Humboldt was delighted, lola amused
ana few fans disgusted Humboldrs
delight was two-thirds surprise.
The ground was wet and slippery
and the ball black as mud. So neither
team did any slugging. Jarvis pitch
ed six innings for lola and then the
new pitcher was put in to try out. In
the way of slugging Humboldt got one
safe hit, and lola only three. The
first man at the bat for Humboldt got
the hit, but he got caught OIL first SO
his hit had no effect on the score. The
next man up hit to right field aud viii
son had week to throw him out at
first, but threw wild. The next pitched
ball went clear under the grand stand
and the man who got first on an error
went home. In the sixth inning when
the new pitcher went in slow scratch
bunt was hit within few feet Of him
but he did not see the ball in the lmud
and the runner got Ito first. He went
to second and third on dropped balls
by Iola's catcher and scored after u
long fly out to center.
lola had several men on bases,
once getting the bases full, and Shau-
myer scored twice on the third out, but
! she never got run. The boys can't
hit Pomp Reager, the Humboldt dusky
who always did beat lola.
1t was amusing tohear the Humboldt
rooters call every ball touched "a
hit" and when lola changed pitchers
after six innings during which
Humboldt got just one safe hit OH
Jarvis, in order to try the new man,
the rootcrs howled "we've knocked
one pitcher out"
1t was something dreadful, OF course
but most Of the lola fans are Just
grlnning and saying "you can't do il
again" Humboldt got about three
men to first base and scored two on
muddy luck.

Paine's Celery
Compound
Permanently Cures Sick and
Nervous Headaches that
Make Life Miserable,

Sick and nervous are amongst tht
worst ills Of life. The man or woman
who is subject to headache at irregu-
lar intervals, goes through life bear
ing II load Of misery and wretchea,
ness that is terrible to think of.
Headaches as Il rule, result from a
disordered condition .of the nervous
sys en-. Mental excitement, loss of
sleep, bodily fatigue, and disordered
digestion are exciting causes. When
the brain becomes tired and debili-
tated, the whole nervous system is
weakened, and headaches result. II
the liver is sluggish, the kidneys inact-
i've, and digestion deranged, head
aches invariably follow. TO cure and
prevent headache, :he nervous system
must be strengthened and vitalized.
The most persistentcases Of headache,
nervous feebleness, and sleeplessness,
are permanently cured by Paine's
Celery Compound; it is the great re
constructant Of the nervous system.
Mrs. Henry Westricli, ST. Clair,
Mich. tells of her release from her
suffering as follows:
"G have been troubled with dyspep-
sia and sick headache for number
of years. About every week | would
have u bad spell Of sick headache, but
since I began using Paine's Celery
Compound, my dyspepsia is gone,
and do not have any more head

A piercing scream startled the oa-
cupauts of the Graheu home and was
heard by the neighbors about 4
o'clock last Saturday when Mrs.

Mr.. Grahen has been working for
the Lanyon Zinc Company and goes

Last evening he seemed in his usual
health and went to bed as usual on u
sofa, in order that homight get Up for
his early breakfast and get to the
works. Mrs. Grahen arose about
$3.50, prepared breakfast and after
vainly calling her husband twice, went
to his bed and shook him by the
shoulder. When she discovered that
hehad died in his sleep she gave u
heart broken scream.
Grahen was sixty six years old
and has son and daughter. Many
of the smcltermen called at the house
that day, Mr., Grahen having been a
well-lilled man. Only once before did
he have an attack indicating the heart
trouble which caused his death. lie

The funeral arrangements have moi
yet been made, as relatives from away
have been notified and are expected.

in his power to keep afloat. Many who
learn to swim often wonder at their
slow progress through the water,
which is solely occasioned by so many
learning the strokes incorrectly; there
fore particular attention should be
given to the elementary or initial
stages.
In my varied experience 1 have found
that most nervous people gain con-
fidence quicker on the back, as it is
not only a more natural position but
it is much easier for a beginner to
breathe, as so many have the tendency
to tightly close the mouth when SWIM
ming on the breast.
Start then by laying on the back,
either held up by a person or by the
aid of an air bladder; straighten your
self out, hold the head way back, the
ears being under water. Some persons
do not like the water penetrating their
ears; to overcome this place a little
cotton wool in each ear, then initiate
the abdomen, draw your arms up
alongside the body and straighten
them out in a straight line with the
shoulders; then push the arms and

hands through the water until the lat
ter touch the legs. After some little
practice those movements will come
easy.
One great point beginners should al
ways remember-keep the hands and
legs under the water. Many begin
ners get frightened by having so much
of the water wash over their faces.
This can always be overcome by keep
ing the hands below the water. When
you have mastered these arm move
ments fairly well commence on the leg
strokes. Start with the legs straight
ened out, the heels together, draw the
feet up toward the body, keep the
knees well turned out as far as pos
sible. Shoot the legs out wide, then
finish the kick by bringing the legs
straight together with a snap. This
stroke and way Of swimming on the
back will be found to be not only the
easiest but the best, for one can lie
on his back and rest by simply stretch
ing out the arms back over the head
in straight line with the body.
For the breast stroke commence by
practicing the arm and leg movements

(By Prof. F. z. Dalton.

(By Prof. f. z. Dalton.)
In this age of athletics it is really a
wonder that everyone cannot swim, es-
pecially when the essentials required
for it are only a few feet of water and
the arms and legs. There are few
places, even in our interior towns and
cities, where the water cannot be
found. Again, the smallest child or
weakest woman can enjoy the science
natatoriaL
For those who have never tried to
swim these brief but thorough instruc-
tions are prepared.
When undressed rub yourself down
with a rough towel, and then walk into
the water.
The first thing to be done on enter
ing is to put your head under water,
open your eyes and accustom yourself
to the look of things under water,
which will overcome any fear that you
may possess. After this has been done
two or three times place any object
that Is hard and white at the bottom
of the water, then try to pick it up,
which will necessitate opening the
eyes.
When thoroughly accustomed to the
water, get an air bladder.
Personally, I think an air bladder is
Of more assistance in holding a per-
son in the water than a friend, as the
bladder keeps one up to a uniform
height, whereas when held up by
friend one is apt to either slip, tire or
lose patience, and the result is the
pupil is unexpectedly forced under the
water and is apt to loose confidence

on shore. The hands should be
brought together to the chest and shot
out straight in front and then turn the
hands fiat, palms downward, and
bring them straight round in a line
with the shoulders; from there bend
the elbows back and bring the hands
together at the chest. For the leg ac-
tion lie face downward on a stool,
draw the legs up, then kick them out
as wide as possible, then bring the legs
straight together.
The leg movement is the same as on
the back.
Practice the arm strokes first as they
are easiest to manage. When you
have had a few days practice, try and
swim; commence by bending forward
with the hands straight in front of
you and give yourself slight push
with your legs, then try and do the
movements slowly and do not shorten
them.
In diving always be collected and
cool when you dive. Have the lungs
normal, or rather don't dive with all
the air out of them; it is dangerous.
Never dive in strange or muddy water.

MURDER WAS ATROCIOUS.
Band of Outlaws That Will Take More
Than a Sheriff's Posse to Capture.

Especial Dispatch to The Times.>
BIG STONE GAP. VA. May 1o-At
DuffieId. Va, small town near here,
early this morning Jeff Roberts. a citi-
zen. was murdered IN most atrocious
manner by two desperate outlaws. named
Wright and TempIeton, and their follow
ers. The murder was one OF the most
barbarous ever committed in this sec
ton of the county. Roberts had once
been a very bad man also. but for the
last few years had been living the life
of a law-abidins citizen
1t seems from all reports that Wright
and Templeton had q grudge OF long
standing against Roberts, and had mads
numerous threats against his life.
This morning, as he was walking
through field near his home, accom-
panied by his son, he was suddenly at
tackled by Wright. Templeton and several
others of the Wright gang At tho first
shot Roberts fell, and as his son stopped
to turn him over, he was roughly jerked
aside by Templeton, who began firing into
the dead body. He was Joined by the
others in this and the body was literally
riddled with bullets.
After the murder the outlaws retreat
ed into the mountains and were seen
there nearly all day, but none dared to
advance on them.
This band OF murderers, thieves and
desperadoes have been the terror of Scott
and adjoining counties for many months,
and it will take some power greater than
a sheritfs posse to capture them.
