STORY DENIED BY OFFICERS.
But Hartman People Believe Road
Has Beeh Sold.

But hartman TSOPlS DSISNe Hoau
Has 5eeh Sold.
Knoxville, Tenn, Sept. 24-Blrd
Robinson, of New York, president Of
the Hartman and Northeastern rail-
road, denies the report that the prop
erty has been sold to the Louisville
and Nashville or Southern railway. In
a message sent to this city Mr.. Rob.
inson says:
Have not sold the Hartman and
Northeastern railroad. There is no
foundation for such a report"
The story of the sale is, however,
persistently related in Hartman, and
it was first given out here BY very
prominent citizen of that town, who, it
is confidently believed, was in a po-
sition to know. There is no dou5t
bat that the Hartman and Northeast
ern would prove of value to either the
Louisville and Nashville or the South
ern, and especially to the former when
its Knoxville, LaFollette and Jellico
extension Is completed.

PRESIDENT SUBMITS
TO SURGEONS KNIFE
Operation For Abscess Per-
formed on Left Leg.
WESTERN TRIP COMES TO END.
As a Result of Bruises Received In
Trolley Accident at Pittsfleld, Alb.
scess Formed, kecessitating Surgi.
cal Attention In Indianapolis.

Indianapolis, Sept 24-President
RoOsevelt's western trip came to an
untimely end in this city yesterday.
He was found to be suffering from a
swelling in the left leg between the
knee and the ankle that required i'm
mediate surgical attention, and, IN
stead of being taken to the train to
continue his journey to Fort Wayne
and Milwaukee, he was conveyed to
-. Vtncent's hospital, where he was
operated on
The operation occurred at 1925
O'Clock and lasted only a short time,
when he was taken to a private room
in the hospital to rest After taking
a light luncheon at 4; so p. m. he was
conveyed on a stretcher to his train,
which had been backed up the Y near
the hospital, and at 1850 o'clock the
train left for Washington.
Secretary Cortelyou has issued the
following statement:
"As a result of the trolley accident
at Pittsfeld, Mass, the president re-
ceiyed several serious bruises. One
OF these on the left leg between the
knee and the ankle, developed into
small abscess. The president is en-
tirely we'll otherwise, and has con
lInued to meet the several engage
ments of his itinerary, but in view
of the continuance of the abscess and
out of an abundance of caution, Drs.
Oliver and Cooke. of Indianapolis,
were requested to meet DR.. Lung, the
presidents surgeon, at indianapolis,
Richardson, of Washington, being also
of the number. In the opinion of the
doctors an operation Is necessary.
which they think should be performed
at st. Vincent's hospital in this city.
After the operation the president will
require rest, probably for at least ten
days or two weeks. 1t has been nee
essary to cancel all the remaining eu-
gagements of his trip. The physicians
say that the case is not in any way
serious, and that there IS no danger
whatever.
This statement is made so that no
false rumors may disturb the people,
and that they may be authoritatively
advised of the exact nature of the
case. (Slgned) George B. Cortelyo1,
Secretary to the President.

5OERs APPEAL FOR AID.
Generals Botha, Dewet and Delarey
Have Issued Manifesto.

Amsterdam, Sept 2i-The Boer
generals. Botha, Dewet and Delarey,
have issued a manifesto in the Shape
of an appeal to the civilized world,
This document recalls how, after the
terrible struggle in South Africa and
the Beers We're compelled to accept
the British terms of peace, the gener
ais were commissioned to proceed to
England and appeal to tRe new, - =.
eWment to aIlag the a''taassess whic
is devastating the colonies, and,
the event of the failure of tho missiol
to appeal to the civilized world 70
ch9ritable contributions
Continuing the generals say tha
having failed to induce Great Britai,
to grant further assistance, 1t on!y
remains for them to address them
selves to the people of Europe and
America.
After setting forth how sweet i.
had been, during the critical days they
had passed through, to receive con-
stant marks of sympathy, the generals
take this opportunity to express, on
behalf of the people OF the late repub'
lie, fervent thanks to all those who
had assisted charitably the women and
children in the concentration camps,
prisoners, etc.
"The small Boer nation" goes on
the manifesto, can never forget the
help 1t received in the dark hour Of
suffering. Our people are complete
ly ruined It has ben impossible to
make complete Inventory but we
are convinced that at least 10000
houses on Boer farms and many VIII
lagos were burned or destroyed by the
British during the war Everything
was destroyed, and the country was
completely laid waste The war eg
manded many victims the land was
bathed In teaIs and orphans and wtd'
ows we're abandoned. We are appeal
ing to the world for conta buttons to
assist the destitute and help in the
education of our children
The generals reDudiste ell desire
to indame the minds Of the people ami
declare;
"The SWORD is now sheathed, and all
differences are silent in the presence
OF such great misery"
They say the small amount given
by Great Britain, even if multiplied
ten-foId. would not suffice to cover the
war losses alone.
1--WE solicit the hearty cooperation
of all existing committees in the yart
Gus countries which we are on tho
point Of visiting with the object Of es'
tabllshing satisfactory organlza
ton"
The manifesto is signed by Gener
al Botha, General DeWet and General
Delarey.

Got There Finally.

A careful perusal Of the Montpelier
of last week fails to bring to
light any account of the baseball game
here two weeks ago. The Montpelier
team probably does not want much
said Camera.
You are right, Brother. We were
waiting for our boys to show up win
ner once. The time came last Sunday
when the Montpelier's handed it in to
the Kemmererites in this city by score
of 10 to IA. Thus the farm hands" are
not so bad after all. The boys from the
coal camp didn't seem to know any
thing about the game, for the local boys
didn't play their best by jugful. They
just put up practice game. but it was
sufficient to defeat the coal diggers.
Any time the boys from Kemmerer
think they have mastered a point or two
more of the game, the locals will go
down there and do the trick again. Un-
less the lads from Kemmerer catch on q
little faster. it won't be any credit for
our team to beat them. Still the Mont
pelierites always appreciate little
practice, and when the Kemmererites
are willing to accommodate them there
will be chance

CORPSE RISES AND LAUGHS.
Supposed Dead Mans Little Joke with
Police and Doctors Lands
Him in Cell.

Physicians and nurses, as well as
two policemen, were given a surprise
early the other morning at Chicago
when supposed corpse suddenly sat
up and laughed. 1t was climax to
serious affair and so bitter was the
feeling over the Joke" played upon
them that the two officers took the
live corpse" to the Desplaines street
police station, where he gave the
name of William Mcdonald, III West
Taylor street.
Mcdonald was lying on an operat-
ing table at the county hospital APP
parently dead from the effects OF
having been struck by a street car.
There was no sign of life in him and
the attendants were discussing the
circumstances when the supposed
corpse" suddenly broke into laugh
and sat up.
McDonald's hilarity was so great
that he could not utter a word for
nearly two minutes. He laughed and
laughed until the tears rolled from
his eyes. The attendants glared in
surprise, while the blue coats seemed
frightened.
Mcdonald was arraigned in the
Desplaines street police court and
pleaded that he had attempted joke
while under the influence of drink,
In nh Nd hnt
Mcdonald had been punished sufh-
GENTLY and permitted him to go with
