State Normal Wins.

The Moothart baseball team went
to Cape Grardeau last Thursday and
played the strong Normal team two
games. In the first game the Moot
hart team out-played the Normals and
had the game virtually won, when a
few costly errors lost the contest.
Both games, however, were specially
interesting and hotly contested, and
the Normals were we'll pleased with
the sportsmanlike conduct of the vis-
tors, while ite mouthart team was
fully satisfied with tie treatment ac-
corded themby the Normal boys.
Arrangements are being made to
have the Normal team play two re-
turn games here 10 Pennington In the
near future, at which time the Moot
barls expect to iurn the trick on the
Nurmals.

FALLS $50 FEET.
John Hicks Thrown Backwards Into o
Nine Shaft and instantly Killed
Neck Broken.

A deplOrable accident occurred at
the Mitchell shaft, Doe Run No. 3, at
Flat River early last Friday morning,
in which John Hicks, the shift boss,
was thrown backward into the shaft
and hurled to the bottom, distance
of 450 feet His neck, collar bone
and one rib were broken and his
shoulder disocated. There was sew
eral feet of water at the bottom Of the
shaft, which probably prevented his
body being more mangled than 1t was.
While in the act of moving a pump
which had been brought up from the
bottom of the shaft, MIR, Hicks was
pIizing il with pinch bar. The bar
slipped, throwing him backward and a
complete somcrsault into the mouth of
the shaft. The verdict Of the coroner's
jury was in accordance with the above
facts, the jury declaring that ii was
purely an accident.
The deceased leaves q wife and three
children, who have much sympathy in
their sorrow over the untimely and
violent death of husband and father.

Seeing a statement in the Bismarck
Gazette that DIR. j. j Norwne OF

How the report originated we do not
know, but the Doctor says ''never on
earth was more contemplate lie

The Doctor, who formerly lived In

learn that there is nothing in the re-
pott, aud we take pleasure 10 setting

Capt. Tygsrd at Hospital No. 4.

The Butler Times has the following
to say of former prominent citizen
and banker OF the Western section Of
the State who was brought here and
placed 10 State Hospital No. last
week.
Capt, F. j. Tygard was accompanied
to Pennington, Mo-, on Sunday night
by his family physician, DIR. 4. G.
Zey, and was entered at State Hospital
for Insane No. 4, as a private patient.
Dr. Zey and Dr. L. N. Chastain
were called In by the family on Sun
day, aud after examination and con-
sultation decided that his mental con-
dition was such that this course was
advisable. For years he has been in
failing health, and bis closest friends
have believed him mentally incapaci-
lated for long time.
For many years Captain Tygard has
been a prominent figure in financial
and social circles In this section of the
State. He was one VI the founders Of
the Bales National Bank in the early
seventies, and was with that institution
continuously until It closed Its doors
last fall, although in late years he had
not been in active control. He was
also president Of the Bates County lu-
vestment Company up 10 about one
year ago. He had large acquan-
tance over the State aud stood high in
the Masonic order, being an ex.Grand
Master of the State and has been a
mem Der of the board and treasurer of
the Masonic home, established In st.
Louis, for many years. His present
condition is pi;iably sad to his old
friends and in fact to all who have
known him IN his prosperous days.

ness with bis brother at Maplewood.

cannot, or at least they usually do not,
