His Revolver on Beast Before It

tiger escaped from the menagerie OF
the Sells-Floto circus here killed a
little girl and a Shetland pony and
was finally dispatched by a brave
spectator armed with a 32-caliber re-
volver.
The tiger broke down the door of
his cage by beating it with his paws.
He first sprang upon pony A
keeper drove him off with an iron
bar. The beast attacked a second
and a third pony and when driven
away by the keeper leaped into the
crowd. Tho guns kept for emergencies
like this were too far away to be
available.
A panic followed. Women grasped
their children and dragged them from
the path Of the maddened animal.
The screams of the frightened spec
tators mingled with the trumpeting
of the elephants and the cries of the
excited animals in the cages.
Through the crowd the tiger rushed
toward the main entrance. Mrs. S. E.
Resell and her 4 year old daughter
Ruth could not get out of the way and
were knocked down. Holding the
mother with his paws the tiger sank
Its teeth in the neck of the child, who
died two hours later.
j. w. Bell, blacksmit, was stand
Ing with his wife and children near
Mrs. Resell. Thrusting his family
aside, Bell drew his revolver and
opened fire at distance of three feet.
When the first bullet struck the ami
NAL in the shoulder he WINGED, growled
angrily and dashed his tail against the
wall of spectators. The second shot
caused him to release Mrs. Resell
and at the third he took to flight.
Bell followed and sent three more
bullets into the beast as it ran outside
the tent. In the open air it crawled
some distance; then in final rally
L. darted back toward the crowd. Bell
had reloaded his weapon and was
ready to renew the combat, but the
tiger was mortally wounded He
reeled over on the ground and snarl-
Ing and biting, died.

First Inning ...
REUTER- AND DONAHOU KEEP BIG LEAGUERS
GUESSING

\ heavy shower in the opening
inning of the Misunderstanding
game yesterday did much to ruin a
hne game of ball and at the same
time beat Hawaii
The ball became so wet and slip
perry in this inning that Dick" Reu-
ter had the hardest kind of work
handling IT, He allowed three passes
and two hits, and this, together with
= couple of bad errors behind him,
caused all the damage. After this
enc inning, however. Reuter- settled
down and pitched ball that had all
OF the ear-marks of big Lacquer
The following eight innings were
eggs for The Spalding team.
The work of Reuter- and Donahue
stood out above the balance Of the
Hawaii team. Reuters side arm and
underhand ball puzzled the big
ieaguers and they were held down
to five scattered hits. Two of these
were made in the first inning.
OF course Donahue's catching was
cry material to Reuters clever work
Tut still the local lad had so much
that every player on the Spalding
team praised the boy and will boost
him when they get to the Coast.
From the looks of things there is
no doubt but what Dick VIII be Civ
On chance on the Coast. and he de-
serves it.
The Hawaii team lined up with
some changes. Fernandez was on
first and played a clever game of ball.
Bushnell held down third and
hampton went out in the field. The
position was strange for Bushnell
and he made couple of mistakes.
Evers played fair game in the field
but his showing at the bat was poor.
He seems afraid to step up to a ball.
The Coast team lined up with Hill
Gebrand at second and Williams was
at short. Williams has played or
can play any place on the field, and
play it right. His throwing from
short yesterday was all to the good.
The big leaguers played good,
clean game of ball and put up an ex-
hibition that was good to look at.
But one error was checked up against
them.
The game opened with the Hawaii
team in the field. Hildebrand was
first up and walked. Bliss and Heit-
muller followed in the same order,
filling the bases. Williams went out
to Vannatta. Nealon hit to Bush
nell, who threw wild to the plate.
He had all kinds of time, but the
ball was wet. Hildebrand scored on
the throw. Darcy dropped Dever-
cauX' fly in right and Bliss spiked the
pan. Eastwood singled to left and
both Heitmuller and Nealon scored.
DevereauX was caught OFF second.
Burns hit through Darcy and Dash
wood scored. Had the ball been dry
there would have hardly been
chance for the Spaldings to have
scored. AS 1t was, no runs were
earned.
The Hawaii team scored their only
run in the fourth inning. Vannatta
was first up and Strengthened out one
of Henley's Blenders for homer. The
ball flew clear over Burns head in
center. II was great drive and Bill
got a hand from the crowd when he
reached the plate.
Henley for the Coast team pitched
\ good game of ball. He was work
ing to shut out the Locals and almost
gained his point.
Following is the detailed score:

SAME OLD CAME.

Not being satisfied with wiping
the miners organization out of ex-
istence in the New River fed and
driving every union man and his
family from that section with arm
ed thugs by brutal force and wag
ing relentless war upon the
United Mine Workers organization
in other fields the Hon. Samuel
Dixon, through it's mouth piece,
The Charleston Mail, edited by a
plant tool, is now endeavoring
to disrupt the trades unions in
Charleston.
But their efforts thus far have
simply spurned the trade unionists
of the city on to renewed efforts
and the information secured by
the paid spies of the union crush
ers have awaited them nothing,
and 1T is safe prediction that the
unions Of Charleston will be flour
ishing long after the Mail joins the
deceased News, which made such
rabid attacks on organized labor.
The following appeared i'll it's
editorial column on last Saturday,
which is a tissue of malicious and
wilful lies from beginning to end as
Is well known to every reader of
the Irbor Argus and union man
In the kanawha Valley:
"The Labor Argus, editor I'M
known, but generally supposed to
be Hon. Adam b. Littlcpage, at
torney for the Mine Worker
Union, from whom he draws fat
salary, and also the Chiffon candi-
date for governor Of the state, is
IndiSant because the Mail has seen
lit to give Mr.. John Nugent, one of
the best organizers the mine work
erS eyer had in the state, and one
who has accomplished more for the
advancement Of the interests of
miners than any other man who
ever came into the state, an oppor-
tunity to defend himself against
the assaults made upon him in the
Labor Argus for a purely political
end. The Mail has no part or
parcel in the dispute other than it's
desire for fair play, but it ventures
the prediction that when the roll
comes to be examined, it will not
be found that in the list of those
who love the workingmen,
'Adhem Benz Littlcpagc's name
Will lead all the rest-far from it.
Neither will the Labor Argus &C.

FACTS TO CONSIDER.

The business man who is not do
ing all in his power to help or
ganlzod labor i'll its battle against
unjust conditions is not ONLY hurt
ing himself financially but hurting
others.
1t is the laboring classes who
spend their money with the local
merchants and the more wages
they receive the more they have to
spend. Show me community
where low wages exist and 1 will
show you as general thing dead
lot of merchants.
Good wages are only secured
through thorough organization
OF the workers and even then the
workers do not get too much for
their work. and the average worl;
man who has no nnion protection
IS not getting what he is entitled
to.
The business man who belongs
to the Employers association and
is assisting in fighting organized
labor is only digging his own grave,
Tor as the salary of the workers
control their purchasing power it
should be the duty of the merchant
TO assist them in securing increased
wages in every way possible, for

less sales and therefore less profits.
AIR. Business Man Just stop and
consider your own interests for a
while and where you would be if
every iaboring man i'll our city was
working for one dollar a day; what
would your profit be and suppose
they We're all getting three dollars
per day-who would profit more
than yous
The purchasing power of the
workers is limited by his earnings:
he Is just as ambitious to have the
IuXulies of life as the capitalist
and Is prevented only by his salary.
hlgh wages mean prosperity to
the merchant; low wages means
adversely.
Before you get wild about or
