SEATTLE. Nov. 25.-James Zook.

pIete victory in the Supreme Court
Saturday IN the breach of promise suit
brought against him by Miss ROsana
Grover of Ballard An opinion was
handed down reversing the Judgment
of the Superior Court Of King County
whereby Miss Grover was awarded
$4,000 damages.
The verdict Of the jury was origin

The court holds that such an agreement
is not binding and that neither party
is liable In suit for damages.
In December, 1904, Zook broke the
engagement. informing Miss Grover
that he believed that 1t was for their
best interests. as well as for society in
general that they should not marry,
The fact that both of Cooks parents
had died with consumption was urged
as a further reason for their not mar

The Jersey City team went up against

welded the willow at will, played an
almost errorless game in the field and
stole ten bases. The result was score
of seven to one. Hafford, released by
Cincinnati, was in the Box for Rochester

pointed the Rochester fans. Moren pitch
ed for Jersey City. He had speed and
an assortment of curves that bewildered
the Rroncos. They got but three hits off
him. The Skeeters hit Hafford eight
times. He was simply pie for the Jersey
City sluggers. The Broncos' lone tally
was made in the eighth inning and was
the result of a pass. The Skeeters scored
two runs in the first inning. Clement

Miss Annie Winters of 78
Prescott Street Risked Her
Life Yesterday to Save
Her Young Brother
PET DOG ATTACKED HIM
HIS SISTER GRAsPED THE AM.
NAL BY THE THROAT AND
HELD IT TILL HELP GAME.

Miss Annie Winters, seventeen years
old, played the part of a daring heroine
yesterday in an effort to save her fve-
year-old brother from the ravages of
mad dog. The family lives at No. 7s
Prescott street. Her little brother and
the dog We're playing in yard in the
rear of their home. The dog suddenly
began to froth at the mouth. Blood was
mixed with the foam. The frightened
boy mounted soap box and tried to
beat the dog off. He was too frightened
to scream. The dog circled round him
several times. Neighbors in Astor place
watched the spectacle from rear win
dows.s. 1t was their screams that drew
the attention of Mss Winters to what
was going on in the rear yard. She had
heard the yelping and barks of the dog
but supposed that she and her little
brother Were only having a good time
between themselves.
Haring the neighbors scream she ran
out in the yard just in time to see the
dog spring at her brother and catch him
with its teeth just above the shirt waist.
She caught the dog by the throat, but
could not make it loosen its grip. She
dragged both dog and boy into the kitch-
en- and succeeded in separating them, just
as her big brother appeared on the
scene. He beat the dog into insensibil-
ity. The dog was finally shot. The
wounds of the boy were cauterized by
nearby druggist.
Miss Winters's heroism and nerve as
witnessed by the spectators was COM
mented upon in highly satisfactory
manner.
