The Calmar- Cresco Game.

The ball game last Friday was wit
messed by good sized crowd of both
ladies and gentlemen. Interest in the
national game is increasing in Cresco
and if the boys can hit a winning streak
the town will see some of it's old time
base ball enthusiasm again.
Cresco shut out Calmar in the first in
ming, but in the second inning Calmar
run in five scores on Cresco errors. The
next two innings was whitewash for
both sides, but in the fifth inning Cali
mar run in two more scores making
total of seven. The next four innings
were shut outs for Calmar.
Cresco made no scores until the sixth
inning when they run in two. The
boys played good game after the sec
ond inning.
Deily, for Calmar, struck out nine
aud gave three mem bases on balls.
.Scheutz, Cresco's pitcher, struck out
eight men and gave no bases on balls.
Scheutz and Chapman, Cresco's new
battery, are good ball players, and
after the Fourth will be found regular
ly with the Cresco team.

Girl Terribly Injured.

Miss Alice Hess, of New Haven, was
frightfully injured last Wednesday as
the result of runaway, and while there
is chance that she may recover, her
injuries are of most serious and pain
full character.
With Mrs. Guy Lewis, the girl
started for Usage, driving single
horse. On the way the horse became
frightened at an automobile and ran.
Both occupants were thrown out, Mrs.
Lewis escaping without serious injury.
Miss Hess being thrown against a
corner post. When picked up it was
supposed she was dead or at least
fatally injured. Medical aid was suns
moned with all haste and it was found
her jaw had been broken in four places,
her arm broken at the elbow and five
ribs fractured. 1t seems little less.
than miracle that the girl could sus-
tain such fearful injuries and still live.
| yet the attending physician believes
that unless complications develop that
she may pull through. Every reader
of the Recorder will sincerely hope
fshe may. - Riceville Recorder.

An Undesirable Boarder.

Sheriff Culver is having considerable
trouble these days with Hall, the man
he has in custody for the Elma burglary.
The officials are trying to cut down on
the amount of cocaine they give Hall,
and Sunday the Sheriff gave him what
he thought he needed during the day as
he intended to be absent for time.
Late in the afternoon some passers by
heard a racket in the jail and one of
them seeing him throwing out a blood
covered paper from the window investi-
gated and discovered that in his rawlings
due to the lack of the drug he had
opened an artery in his wrist. On the
advice of DR.. Scripture, a dose of
cocaine was given him, and later when
the Sheriff arrived he gave Hall another
dose, which quieted him. He claims
he cut himself with piece of glass he
broke from an electric light bulb. Not
satisfied with his effort on Sunday to
kill himself, Hall reopened the wonnd
| in his wrist yesterday afternoon, using
a pin for the purpose. 1t is somewhat
Of conundrum to the authorities tc
know what to do with Hall. He really
belongs in some hospital or inebriate
asylum where he can receive proper
medical treatment, but the fact that he
is being held for crime makes il
impossible to send him to an asylum
unless some special arrangement for SC
doing can be made, and correspondence
lis now being conducted with the State
Board of Control with this object ii
view.

Serious Damage by Lightning.

During the thunder storm just before
noon Sunday, lightning struck the resi-
dence of Alex Mcintosh and wrecked
things such as is seldom done without
loss of life resulting, but almost miracu-
lously no one one was seriously injured
although there were nine persons in
the house at the time. The bolt struck
the chimney and evidently followed it
down to the floor of the upper story
when it run along between the floor
and the plastering below west to the
side of the building where the greatest
damage was done. Here nearly one
quarter of the siding and three windows
was torn out. Mr.. Mcintosh was lying
on couch near the two lower windows
which were torn out but escaped with
no injury. The telephone was near
these windows and was torn out and
hurled across the room, smashing lot
of dishes on the dining room table in
it's flight. Mrs. Walter Gleason was
sitting in a double door way about OPP
posite the windows and was struck in
the neck by a piece Of flying glass,
which luckily struck on cord instead
Of the jugular vein which is close by.
Upstairs, in room where Hugh Nc
Intosh was lying on bed the lightning
threw closet door off it's hinges and
over against stand and went down
through the floor Of the closet, tearing
the flooring and plastering all out. In
another room the floor in one place was
bulged up several inches, the nails
being drawn out Of the joists. Most Of
the damage was confined to the cupola
and to the west half of the building,
but this with the loosened plaster, is
SO extensive that the repairs will be a
considerable expense.
