Child Swallows Peas Whole and
They Grow.

A special to Denver daily from
Creston, Ia, Aug. %, says:
"a most peculiar death occurred
here to day. The 7-year-old daughter
Of John Ponte, a Burlington conduc-
tor, was taken sick 10 days ago with
what physicians pronounced dysen-
try. In spite of their best efforts the
little one grew rapidly worse until
her death to-day.
San autopsy revealed the fact that
the child had swallowed peas whole,
that they had sprouted and were
growing In her stomach. The case Is
said to be one of the most peculiar on
record"

From vernal Express.

Rev. o. e. Ostenson returned to
Vernal Thursday night from Durango,
Colorado, where he has been located
the past year ~ rector Of the Episco-
pal church Of that place. Rev. Os-
tenson had been engaged in mission
airy work in the mountains Of Colo
RADIO and Utah for many years. At
one time he was rector of Emanuel
church in West Denver.
Since then he has been engaged In
missionary work In Western Colorado
and Utah, and has more to do with
establishing new churches and rescu-
ing old ones from burdens Of debt
than probably any other minister who
has ever worked In this section. He
has travelled all over the mountains
and there is hardly road west of the
range with which he Is not familiar.
He will remain here q few days
and then start back to Durango with
his horses which have been here all
winter.
The demand for lumber is greater
than the supply. The carpenters are
idle at least half Of the time for want
OF building material, and therefore
the construction Of q building in Yer
nal Is a long tiresome drag. More
houses would be put up If the mater
ial could be obtained with which to
complete them whom once started.

NO MORE FOUL STRIKES,
Baseball Rules Likely to Be Revised by
ELIMINATING This One.

Chicago, FEB. a.-The fate Of the foul
strike rule used by the National league
the past two years will be decided at the
joint session of the American and Ma
tional league committees this week. The
critics are unanimous that the rule will
go, and the old rules adopted. President
Hart of Chicago is father Of the foul
strike rule, which calls a strike "a foul
hit ball not caught on the fly, unless two
strikes have been called" At the time
the change was offered 1t was Harris plan
to equalize by allowing a base on three
balls instead of four.
In the discussion which will come UP
this week this change will be advocated
by Hart.
1t is believed the American representa-
tives all favor adjustment Of the foul
strike rule.
