is mourning the loss of $40 in the
coin of the realm, stolen from his coat
pocket during the progress of Mon

pocket. The coat itself lay over the
back of the players bench, while it's
owner was impersonating Rudderham,
Bassen, ct al. The money was not
missed until night, but had been alb
stracted from the purse and other
papers therein were undisturbed.
I'D rather play ball than hike back
to New York." was Fogarty's wall this
morning.
And some one standing nearby was
cruel enough to remark: well, you
were long on passes, why not help
yourself to one? With an assortment
like yours it ought to be easy to get
home"

ALMOST FATAL

Seriously Injured in Runa-
way Accident.

Joseph Burdo, the popular hotel
keeper at Oslo, Mimi, last evening
shortly after 6 o'clock shook hands
with death in runaway accident near
that village.
Mr.. Burdo was driving livery team
at the time. The horses were some
what skittish and took sudden fright
at something. In endeavoring to make
freedom secure the animals dashed at
a high speed into a ditch, the traces
having become loosened, and threw
the driver out head first The victim,
Mr.. Burdo, landed on the back of the
neck and it was feared for a time
that he had been killed. Later it was
found, however, that the injury. which
was to his back, would not likely re-
suit in death. The injured man has
been brought to East Grand Forks and
taken to- the Poverty hospital for
treatment. This afternoon his physi-
clan announced he would be confined
for several weeks at least, the spinal
cord having been seriously affected.

SAME OLD GAG
Description of r. G. Davis
Needed in Settling a Large
Estate"

The firm of NJ. Norman & Co., the
furniture dealers and undertakers, who
had charge of the remains of r. C.
Davis, a young man who met acciden-
tai death on the Fourth of July by
being shot, have in their possession
letter which, while it may be genuine,
has every ear mark of being the pre-
liminary in fake" deal akin to the
old Spanish swindle game. The let
ter was written at Hankinson on an
ordinary plain sheet of paper, enclosed
in Farmers Home restaurant en-
velope and mailed at Milton. 1t says:
IN. Norman, Fargo, N. D.:
Dear Sir: We would like to get a
description of R. c. Davis who was
shot there on the Fourth of July.
I'VE are trying to locate a relative
by the name of Davis who has been
missing for the last ten years, so
large estate can be settled. Would like
also the address OF his wife.
Resp.
e. c. Fetzger."
1t will be seen the letter address is
to Fargo but the envelope had Grand
Forks on it. Another popularity is
that the letter is in a lady's handwrit-
ing and signed by man.
Altogether the epistle is surrounded
by suspicious circumstances and the
recipient will not likely give it any
attention. Many hundreds of similar
letters have been written. The scheme
is that of following up deaths of eccen-
tries or other persons whose past is
something of mystery. and getting
the relatives to hand over sums of
money in the settlement of estates that
are purely imaginary

~ How Tommy Tackwohy Helped to Open the Big Bridge @

And the proud consciousness of belonging
to the superior sex 30 heightened Tommy
Tackworthys importance that he patted

had said that Of course he should go, because
every alderman was to have ten tickets But,
alas for great expectations! The alderman,
his father, had a host of constituents, and each
individual in that host was ardently deslrous
for a bridge ticket.
As the boys had learned at school, two
into one you can't" but evidently the alder,
man had outgrown his youthful knowledge OF
the rules of division. for he had promised
those ten tickets to fully seventy-five consti,,
tuents. Consequently he was placed IN so sad
a plight by his inability to meet his engage
ments that it is feared he has seriously dam
aged his chances for reelection, and Tommy g
friend. the alderman's son. was minus his con-
fdently-expected ticket.
So he turned from his bankrupt father to
his opulent friend, Tommy and with cal
culating look in his eye that betokened bar
gain and sale. he said:
Say, Tommy, what'll you sell your ticket
for?"
''Sell my ticket and miss the opening?" ex-
claimed astonished Tommy. 81 guess not.
What do YOU take me forg
"Well. for a mean old skinhint if you don't

'sWhy, whatll l share with your asked
Tommy Tackworthy
Haven't YOU two tickets?" said the alder
mans son-"the great big one, and little
extra white one that goes with it"
Then Tommy remembered that with the big
card of invitation came small white adttis.

not exactly discover. So. after much bargain

Thursday morning, May "a, 1888, dawned
bright and beautiful. From pole and window
and many crossstreet rope streamed the
Stars and Stripes. while houses and store
fronts were brilliant with decorations and gay
with flags and streamers.
Tommy Noteworthy and the alderman's son
were up betimes, grimy with powder from
early sautes to the eventful day.
Breakfast was speedily swallowed, and with
throats almost raw from hot and hasty cups
of coffee, and with equally warm anticipatons
of fun in store for them, the two wide-awake
boys sailed out to "take in" all the sights

Tommy had lost his Eden, and, much cast
down, he turned from the spot and wormed
his way through the crowd.
Oh, If only had hold of that alderman's
son. he thought.
Walking up Washington street in this un-
pleasant mood, he was violently run into by
another boy sailing rapidly down the street.

before the Brooklyn entrance, and eluding
the vigilance of the police, they climbed the
skeleton reminders of Possibilities unfulhlled-
the framework of the bankrupt Brooklyn Ele-
waited Railroad-and looked down with ma.
Icious serenity upon the-long double file of
their natural enemies, the cops who, two
hundred and fifty strong, we're drawn up be-
lore the entrance ito keep the approaches
clear.
Routed at last from their point of vantage
they walked river-ward, and dined royalty
on coffee cakes and crullers at an "open-all-
night restaurant, and after slmptuous
dessert of pint of peanuts and joint glass
OF lemonade, at half-past one they sauntered
leisurely toward the entrance, elbowlng their
way through the crowd with the supreme in
difference of monopolists to the envious throng
about them. who were ticketless, and, there
fore, morbidly curious.
Then Tommy unpinned the great white en-
velope from its place of security inside his
Jacket, and holding it proudly aloft, followed
the alderman's son. who was pushing his way
ahead with his "open sesame of the little
white ticket
Past the doorkeeper walked the alderman's =
son, and Tommy was about to follow, when
a restraining arm was held before him, and
the gruff voice of the gatekeeper asked:
Now, then, young man, show your ticket.
Here you are" said confident Tommy
showing the big invitation card.
Well | guess not the gatekeeper said,
BruHer Unan ever Nnere your duHllsslOn
ticket?"
why" said astonished Tommy, here
it is"
Come off now, young fellow; none of your
games on me. This is our busy day. That's
no good. It's only an invitation card. You
have to show. your admission ticket to get
through here"
Poor Tommy His golden visions we're
rudely dispelled. He-Tommy Tackworthy-
who always thought himself so shrewd and
smart, had been badly left" by the alder
mans SON. For he had sold that wary young
specuator the only thing that could pass him
through the gate, and his big card OF invita-
tion, in which he had so gloried, was only for
style, as the gatekeeper said, and no good at
all to get in with.
Come, comei Where's your ticketH came
the unfIiendly voice of the gatekeeper, sound
ing the knell of his anticipations
"I-sOld it." faltered poor Tommy
"Sold it, Ell? And now you want to cheek
it thrOugh-do you?" exclaimed the gate
keeper. "Well, that game won't go down
here. Come! stand aside and let people pass
who know enough TO keep their tickets!"
"Oh, but please let me through-won't
your" pleaded poor Tommy. Il thought this
was the right ticket"
oh tell that to the marines" said the
hard-hearted gatekeeper How came you to
sell the other, then? Come now, clear out!
You're blocking up. the passagewayl"
And blue-cOated policeman dragged Tom
my out of the throng, while the fringe Of
small boys outside the ropes joined in a chorus
OF "Yahai ye-hal Got the grand bounce
