A TRANSPARENT HOAX.
Reported That Cashier Wood Used a
Wax Figure.

Colfax Clipper: 1t has recently been
peddled about various portions of the
county that the reported suicide of
Geo. d. Wood last December was only
trick to cover his flight to Canada,
where, the relaters of this wonderful
story assert, Wood is now living in
ease and luxury upon his ill.gotten
gains. The manner of escape is de-
scribed as having been accomplished
by using a wax figure counterfeit pre-
sentiment of Mr.. Wood. This was
concealed in the bath room, and when
Wood left Main and Penquite and en-
tered the bath room, he simply shot
the wax figure through the head,
thereby tapping a fountain of car.
mine fluid in that object, after which
he jumped from an open window and
made his escape-the prevailing hor'
ror and excitement rendering it q
trick of very easy accomplishment
The originators of this story have ev
identity taken it for granted that the
doctors who examined the corpse, the
undertaken who embalmed it, and the
coroner's jury who determined re
garding the manner and cause of his
death were all deceived by the sub
stitution for Mr.. Woods remains Of
counterfeit in wax. 1t seems al
most too good story to be true.

chance to Bassey in center, and then
came Dalrymple. He won the second
game for us by slamming for a home
run. The sphere sailed up over the

thereby to the extent Of an earned
run, giving us two.
Boone saw shut out staring them

The Best Of the Season.

What pity the attendance Monday
was not two thousand instead OF less
than three hundred. The exhibition,
demonstration and exempliflcation of
the national game that was put up by
Boone and Oskaloosa teams has not
been equalled anywhere else in the
league this season. We will stake
our reputation on the assertion. It
was ball and good ball. Those who
missed it lost something. Two
games for the price of one, and tho
season almost closed. Oskaloosa fans
don't do it again. Get them all.
Oskaloosa won two Of the incest
contests of the season. 1t has been
claimed that Boone and Oskaloosa
play the hardest games seen here,
and the show of yesterday warrants
the claim. The two batteries, Bridges
and Henry for the locals and Powell
and Depew for the visitors, worked
both games, eighteen innings Of hard
ball. Bridges and Powell did thing
that they-sas.a tthiei - ~ l. may be
proud Of Nothing else like it has
been seen in the league this season.
In the first only three lonely hits
were secured off Bridges. They were
solitary hits at long intervals, and did
no harm. Archer earned a run in the
first game, but it was because it was
home run, dropped over the fence.
In the second game while Boone man.
aged to get ten nits and two walks,
the hits were so widely separated
that they counted for naught and
Boone escaped a shut out by her hen
teeth.
Boone really had a chance in the
second game, for upon three separate
occasions did a man land on third bag
but there he died each time. Talk
about interesting and exciting con
tests Of the diamond, well, it was
worth the money anyway

First Cams.

Called at 2:15 sharp. Time, Just
one hour and fifteen minutes Boone
scored first. Archer made home
run. That was all for Boone. The
sphere was met nicely and dropped
just over the left field fence. Kensel
made the first for Oskaloosa. Bridges
made a beautiful single into right
garden. Kensel was next and made
safe at first, while Bridges landed on
second. Bridges was caught at third
while Kensel made second and our
trim little short stop came nome on a
bad throw of third baseman. Dona-
hue made the winning run. He sin
gled nicely but went down to third on
first baseman's error. After two outs
Dalrymple came along and swung
against the leather for two stations,

the last hit and the last score. Look
