MINISTER'S PLIGHT
Rev. John Peterson. Colored, a
County Patient at ST. An.
thongs Hospital.
REMOVED FROM TRAIN HERE
Suffering With Consumption. He is
Taken With Hemorrhaee

Rev. John Peterson (colored) suf-
ferer with consumption. is AT ST. An
thongs hospital under the treatment
of DR.. c. T. Foster. the physician to
the poor. Mr.. Peterson was seized
with a hemorrhage in a passenger
coach at the Rock Island Fifth ave
nue. station last night on the arrival
of the train. and was removed in the
city ambulance TO the hospital.
The unfortunate man OF the cloth is
80 years of age. and penniless He has
been buffeted about the country by
the authorities. a city where he hap
pens 10 be taken sick sending him on
his way as soon as he is able to travel.
His last stop was at Quincy. Fol
lowing an attack similar to the one
that he was taken with last night he
was placed in hospital. remaining
there for over a week. When the
county physician ordered him dis
charged from the hospital he was sup
piled transportation to the next sta
ton. What cities he had been in be-
tween Quincy and Rock Island was not
learned, but his ticket only read to
this city. Whether the minister has
4 family or home is not known, as he
is too weak to tell his story.
Stay Here VIII BE Brief.
DR.. Foster said that Mr.. Peterson
would probably be recovered so that
he can leave the hospital in a few
days. The county bears the expense
of caring for him here. and will pro-
vide him with a railroad ticket when
he is able TO move. as the other cities
have done, unless relatives or friends
come TO his rescue.

That's the finest looking set OF ball
players ] ever saw Ia one bunch" said
a prominent Santa Fe citizen. yester'
day as the Las Vegas team ran out
onto the field In the first inning. And
10 they looked. Not only that. but
when the balls came their way yes.
terday they proved conclusively that
they could handle them. While the
base ball game was not n that the
average fan would gloat over, II was a
good one from a baseball standpoint.
Both teams hit hard and often and
most OF the twenty-one runs In the
game were earned.
The most remarkable feature OF the
game ut Santa Fe was that the Santa
Fe team hit but six ground balls 10
the Blues infield. three Of these going
10 the pitcher. Atkins pitched and II
seemed impossible for the Santa Fe
batters to keep the ball out Of the
air.
The Santa Fe team was strengthen.

The Excursion.

The excursion run by the Northern
New Mexico Fair association to San.
ia Fe yesterday as an advertisement,
was a success. even though It was not
decided to conduct 1t until Friday
morning. Over 200 took advantage OF
the $500 rate and a happy crowd It
was. Advertising matter was taken
along in generous quantities and dis.
tributed BY the e~xcursionists. The f.
Romero Hose company with their red
ribbon badges and the east side hose
company were very much In evidence
and were royalty entertained BY the
Santa Fe fire department when they
arrived there.
President r. f. Twitchell and secre.
tary Bnddecke OF the fair association
went on the trip and boosted the fair
for all It was worth. The influence OF
the excursion cannot be estimated
until fair week. but It was doubtless
for the good.
