TWO ACCIDENTS
FROM HORSES
Fay Robinson Suffers Fracture
Above Eye and Chas. MulrOy
Nurses Sore Shoulder.

Two accidents happened Wednes-
day evening, one OF which is quite seri-
Gus and may result fatally. Wednes-
Tuesday evening, Fay Robinson,
five years old son of Mr.. and Mrs.
n. II. Robinson, as was his
custom, went to the pasture to get the
horses about 7:30 O'Clock. He had
reached the barn yard, following close
behind the ANIMAL when it turned to
go ip another direction. AS uasual he
ran to head it off, and the horse in its
playful mood kicked up its legs, and
the unfortunate little lad received
blow just above the left eye and as
result, The bone was fractured.
Physicians were Immediately called,
and the wound dressed and cared for,
and at the present time he is recover
ing nicely.
The other accident was less serious,
Charles Mulroy, the victim, will in
few days never realize that it occurred.
While cleaning a stallion in the barn
yard Tuesday evening, July 2. the an

the soreness, no evil results are antici-

MEANT FOR
PRACTICAL JOKE

People in the city Friday morning
were startled and excited over the
report that young lady, now visiting
friends in this city was drowned Thurs
day evening in the Wisconsin river. 1t
was stated that just before the storm
broke, that the young lady in question
was taken out on the river for row
by friends, and that since then no
trace of the parties had been found.
The young ladies' sister, who is also a
visitor in the city, was notified by
telephone, that a body had been
found in the river, and in consequence
of this information, she was nearly
frantic with grief.
A closer investigation of the circum-
stances connected with the case, de-
velopes the fact, that the young lady
in question went to Nekoosa where
she attended the Fourth of July
dance, and as a practical joke, her
companion telephoned the news to
this city which caused all the trouble
and some heartache.

NO LOWER RATES
TO CHICAGO
Railroads do not Recognize llli.
nois or Wisconsin Laws On
Through Tickets.

The two cent rate for passenger
traffic went into effect in Illinois on
July | and in consequence there has
been a reduction in fare from Trevor
station on the Wisconsin Central rail-
road at the state line southwark to
Chicago. The Wisconsin Central re-
fuses to sell through tickets from Stev-
ems Point to Chicago for less than the
old rate based on three cents mile.
However, anyone can purchase a
ticket from Stevens Point to Trevor
for two and half cents mile, 4.67,
and another ticket from Trevor to
Chicago for two cents mile, $1.22,
making $3.50 for the continuous trip,
Or saving of 81. Is from the through
rate. II the traveller has provided
himself with a Wisconsin 500 mile
family ticket he can save another
half cent a mile between here
and Trevor, amounting to 95 cents.
Trunks will not be checked through
to Chicago on this scheme but must
be rechecked at Trevor. AS through
trains do not stop at Trevor there is
apt to be some trouble on the baggage
question which should be fully settled
with the local agent before buying
your ticket. For instance it would
probably be more convenient to make
the change at Burlington. Persons
without baggage may pay the con-
ductor the cash for the ride from
Trevor to Chicago without leaving
their seats at the way station. This
proposition is reversible for passen-
gers coming north from Chicago.
The refusal of the railroads to sell
through interstate tickets is purely
arbitrary on:their part and if persisted
in, it is matter which the Inter-
state Commerce commission ought to-,
and no doubt will take up in the near
future.-Stevens Point Journal.
The REPORTER made inquiry at
the offices of each of the railroads
entering this city and running to Chi
cago, and was informed that the
same rule, as established above, held
true of their road, and that while
Illinois had two cent compulsory
rate, and the Badger state q cent
rate, their instructions were to sell
through tickets on the basis of the
old three cent rats

TWO FINE BALL GAMES
Merrill Crowds Visits City and
EniOy Good Time.

Every lover of the national game of
base ball was more than pleased with
the two games played in this city on
the Fourth of July, with the Merrill
nine as the visiting team. Mark
Bells, of Wausau, the well known
base ballist of the Wisconsin River
Valley, acted as umpire. To his fair
decisions and the excellent manner in
which he umpired both games, is
largelydue the general satisfaction CIV
en- to all spectators. The boys of both
mines played every minute, and the
scores indicate that the two mines
were very evenly matched. The team
work was about equal, but the NJ Merrill
boys were little stronger at the bat
than our boys, and in that way won
the first game. and tied the second.
The score of the first game, which
took place in the forenoon, was six to
two in favor of Merrill The score of
the second game which took place in
UIlc dIUtIIOOli, oil elefeH lilHlHS
game,-Score wa t w o to t w o,
the Merrill boys making their two
scores in the ninth inning.
This game was called at five O'Clock
because the Merrill boys were obliged
to take the 5:37 train for home.
Such an exhibition of base ball
playing i S t o be m m d
and the home team as well as the
Merrill team were greatly commended
by all spectators for the manly and
splendid games they played on the
Fourth of July in this city.

ACCIDENTS WERE FEW
AND NOT SERIOUS

The only accident that came any
where near doing serious bodily in
jury Thursday, was that caused to a
little lad by the name of Schultz. The
little fellow, who is about seven years
old, suffered some pretty bad burns
on one side of his head, the results of
the explosion of a cannon cracker.
Fortunately the injury did not effect
the eyes. He was taken into Steibe
drug store where his wounds were
carefully dressed, and was later taken
to his home. He is the son of Mr..
and Mrs. John Scultz of Sigel.
A sky-rocket, shot somewhere on
First ST. near Arndt's store, came
tearing down the street about 10
O'Clock and broke one of the large
windows in W. L. 7 Jyce's store. As
side from the breaking of the window,
no damage resulted.

VOLUME so, NUMBER &c
FELL FROM LIME HOIST
AND ESCAPED DEATH

At about $50 o'clock Wednesday
morning July 3, Aug.sSchmidt, night
watchman at the Nekoosa paper mill,
had narrow escape from death, fall
ing a distance of about thirty feet
from the lime hoist in the acid room
onto the plank floor.
The hoist out of which he fell is
used for elevating lime in the acid
room, stairway being provided for
the convenience of the employees. 1t
seems that at times they have taken
chances by going up in the lime eleva-
tor instead of climbing the stairs,
practice that will now probably be
avoided after Mr.. Schmidt'S demon
stration of the danger incident there
to.
1t was an almost miraculous escape
from death. Mr. Schmidt is a mar
ried man, residing with his wife and
four children on First street.

OFFICER "BILL" BERG
CALLS THE BLUFF
And With the Business End OF
His Gun Splitting Fire, Four
Burglars Took to Their Heels
in the Darkness.
You Get


mot Yet" With tightening like
rapidity the man addressed by Officer
Bill Berg whipped out gun and
showed the ugly barrel into his face.
Undaunted, the officer whipped out
its companion and without another
word opened fire on the intruder, who,
together with his three companions,
took to his heels and down the street
he actually flew. The officers nerve
allowed him to-call the bluff, and
the business end of the six shooter as
it spat fire. needed no accompaniment
to complete the persuasion.
What might have been a tragedy,
and what was unquestionable de-
signed to be a burgularly, was enacted
at the Gross & Lyon store building
Wednesday morning, July 3, about two
O'Clock. As Officer Berg was passing
this store he heard glass falling to the
rear, and Immediately concluding that
mischief was being enacted he
hastened to the rear of the store
where he found big, burly fellow
standing unconsernedly.
What are you doing here at this
hour of the night?' asked the officer.
Waiting for my partner" replied
the stranger.
Where is your partner?" asked the
officer.
''In there" said the stranger point
ing to the shed at the rear of the
above named building.
The officer threw his light into the
shed. and there revealed stood three
more strangers, with no good purpose
shining out of their eyes.
"You get," remarked Mr. Berg,
and with this the other fellow replied
as above and showed the gun up to
the officer.
These fellows came from Wausau on
Tuesday nights train which arrives in
this city at $40 O'Clock. Neither of
them has been seen in the city before,
and while Officer Berg could recognize
either one of them, it is quite prob
able that he will not have an oppor-
tunity to do SO as they took to their
heels and were soon lost in the dark
ness.
In their hurry to get away from the
business end of Officer Berg's gun,
these fellows forgot to take their kit,
and this was picked up by the officer
and handed over to Chief Garihee.
On examination it was discovered
that the kit contained all the punches,
skeleton keys, drills etc, used in the
work of the professional house breaker,
and the indications point to "Jhe
nipping in the bud", of the operations
of an old time gang.

BREAK INTO SCHOOL
HOUSE AND DO DAMAGE

NekOoSa's school building was broken
into by somebody either Saturday or
Sunday night and ink spilled on the
floor and black board of the princi-
pals room, books in several OF the
other rooms scattered about and con-
siderable disorder caused by disturb
ing the furniture and fixtures.
Apparently it was the work of boys
or young men who no doubt meant to
get revenge for imaginary wrongs,
because the splashing of black and
red ink on the floor and black board of
the nigh school room and the destruc-
tion of some of the books in the first
grade room showed that the boys were
there with malicious intentions.

East Oregonian : E.O. (Pendleton, OR) 1888-current, 1907-01-22

Washington, Jan. 22.-Sutherland
of Utah, in his maiden effort in the
senate today in defense of Smoot,
said the issue to him seemed simple:
"If Sincot is a law-breaker, either
as. principal or accessory; If he rec
osnizes a power higher than alleg-
lance to this country; or If his connec-
items are such as to bring reproach
upon the senate, he ought not to re-
tain his seat. II he is not guilty of any
of these things he should not be de-
prived Of his seat in obedience to
popular clamor.
THE charges of polygamy are all
refuted Since a boy Smoot has cp-
posed the practice and done much to
discourage IL.
"As an observer of the Mormon
people I say they are today as loyal
and as patriotic as any in the coun-
try. Smoot during the four years he
has been in the senate has won the
| respect and admiration of his col
leagues. and proven his devotion tC
duty and patriotic regard for his OBJ

OVER 5000 MINERS AT NOME.
Claims VIII Be Worked in Full Blast
All Winter

Miners who came down to Seattle
on the last boat from Nome this sea-
son report that the number of men
at least 5000, says the Seattle News.
This is because of the increased use
OF boilers for thawing out the ground.
Where the pay dirt is rich, it is
profitable to mine in winter with
thawers. The thawing outfit consists
of boiler and hose and nozzle.
The miner runs the nozzle into the
bank and turns on the steam, which
thaws out a considerable area. 1t has
been found to be extremely profitable
to mine by thawing out the dirt direct
ly above the bedrock. This is, of
course, the richest in gold. 1t is piled
up outside the shaft and in the spring
the gold is washed out. The dirt
which lay above may be washed out
in the summer by ordinary means.
Fewer people came out this year
than ever before" said c. C. Webster
of the Canyon Creek Gold company at
the Hotel Northern. I'm fact the up
boats took in men who spent the sum-
mer in the south. A few years ago
very few thought of utilizing the long
eight months of frost Now, where
the shafts have reached depth of 40
or so feet 1t is found that the men can
stay in the mines all winter and work
better than in summer because of the
fact that there is no water to bother
them"
