Another Effort Made to Find
Bullet in AL Winfrey.
He Was Shot Several Years Ago and
Thinks the Lead Is Still in Him.

Mr.. Albert Winfrey who several years
ago while running was shot in the back
by Officer William Rogers, who mistook
Winfrey for some person stealing ride
on the blind baggage of a north bound
passenger train, last night for the sixth
time underwent an X-Ray examination
to attempt 10 locate the bullet, if it re-
mains in his body.
Winfrey was shot directly in the back
and the wound was ragged, the physic-
ians thinking the lead struck the bone
and worked back out. A thorough prob
ing soon after the shooting failed TO find
the bullet and Winfrey recovered and is
supposed to still have the lead in him.
He experiences much pain from il and
in Nashville and Memphis underwent
X-Ray examinations but TO no avail, the
bullet never being located. Several
times here the young man was examined
with the same result.

let must have worked out some way.
The rays worked nicely. but no bullet OF
particle of foreign substance was found

bullet is not in him.

water from the cooler and follow
the fathers example of throwing
what was left in the cuspidor.
The spittoon was soon full and run

drink. An official came in and seeing
the situation explained to the farmer
where to throw the refuse water. The

AN EXCITING DAY
IN 0LDEN TIMES
Cairo Man Tells Of a Game in
1870.
Paduoah and Cairo We're Bitter
Rivals In Those Days For
Baseball Honors
HOW THEY SCORED THEN

In talking with an old time Cairo
baseball player yesterday about the
trouble in Paducah ON "Wednesday last
he said il recalled TO his mind an excit-
ing game played in our sister city way
back in September, 1870, between the
Deltas of Cairo, and the Quicksteps Of
Paducah, says the Cairo Telegram.
Then, as now, there was a spirited
rivalry between the two towns and large
crowds attended the games to cheer and
root for their fayorite club. At this
game the Paducah rooters were numer-
Gus and noisy, yet not insulting nor
murderously inclined. In short they
showed themselves TO be true kentuck-
ians.
The Cairo team, accompanied by a
small number Of faithful rooters went
up on the steamer Milbrey and were
met at the wharf by delegation from
the Quicksteps. All formed into line
and headed by Phil Towards band. the
procession marched up the leyee and out
to the ball grounds. Pills band, by the
way, consisted solely Of himself, and
his instrument was tiny flute carved
from hazel nut But the band played
inspiring music all the same. When
Cairo went 10 bat in the last half Of
the ninth inning the score stood 30 to
"a in favor of Paducah. But the Cairo
boys were not disheartencd, but went in
to try TO close the gap. by hard hitting
and hazardous base running they sue
ccoded in piling up ten additional runs.
With two men out and two on bases,
saup. heavy batter, hit a ball straight
up over the pitchers head going up so
high that il the batter had run he could
have reached home before the ball reach
I'd earth As il was, the batter was so
sure that Pitcher Bonnin would eaten
the ball that he refused to heed the yells
and pleadings of his teammates TO run,
but dropped his bat and gave up. As
the Cairo crowd had hoped, Bonnin
dropped the ball. but he quickly picked
IL up and threw the batter out at first.
All the Cairo players felt sure that the
game would have been saved ii Pete had
run, as luck had turned in favor Of Cal
70 and the Quicksteps had bad case Of
"rattles." In making the ten runs in
the last inning the Cairo boys stole
bases at hazardous risks, making won
dcrful slides, TO the serious damage Of
their trousers.
The gentleman interviewed as above
has newspaper clipping in his scrap
book taken from Paducah paper of
the day after the game, from which we
quote the following, But in the ninth
inning the boys from the Delta walked
up and as their extra good play was met
by corresponding poor play on the part
Of the home boys, they walked away
with ten runs, covering themselves with
glory even in defeat. The return game
will be played in Cairo ON Thursday
next.
Below is the score of the game played
yesterday;
