INJURED At FOOTBALL
Whiting Lad Received Blow
on Head Which Caused
Commissions.
(S4ecial to Lake County rImes.l

WNitirg, Oct. 17.-While PLAYING
footbait yesterday afternoon in this
city, Clil.ton Harris was badly injured
In a collision with Joe Peceny and
for a few hours his life was despaired
of. The game was between the eighth
grade and the freshmen and sopho-
mores OF the high school. After the
kickoff Peceny and Harris came down
the field in opposite directions and
their heads crashed together with n
sound like the swapping of a whip
Both boys were thrown to the ground
bv the force of the blow and Harris
remained on the ground in an uneon-
scious condition. From this state he
passed into convulsions and twenty
i've thoroughly frightened boys gath
cred around him. He was bleeding
from the nose and mouth. and one Of
the lads went for doctor. A milk
wagon was passing at the time. and
as they had no water to give the in
jured lad. they used milk instead. He
was then removed to a nearby doctors
Office. where he was attended. 1t was
thought for some time that he could
not live, but he was later brought
around. Peceny was uninjured.

BOTH SIDES FIGHT
HARD IN LAUBE CASE
DR.. Clara Faulkner of Ho-
bart Only Witness Put
on Stand Today.
STATE SPRINGS A COUP
Attorney for Defense Calls Upon
Prosecution to Repeat Con-
versation With Witness.

The Bertha Laube trial in which
the Hobart woman is charged with hav-
ing committed abortion with fatal re-
suits upon Mrs. Frank Brock of Lake
Station. is being desperately fought In
the Superior court today by the attor-
neys for both sides
DIR. Clara Faulkner Of Hobart. q
witness for the state. was in the chair
from o'clock until this afternoon,
when the jury was given a recess in
order that the attorneys might retire
for the purpose of looking up new au-
thority for the admissibility of con-
versational evidence that Mrs Brock
Is said to have had with Dr. Faux
ner.
The defense yesterday gained a
point in excluding all statements and
conversation that was not made in ex-
tremis, but today allowed conversa-
ton to be repeated to the jury that
Mrs. Brock and Mrs. Faulkner have had
after the alleged operation.
Until o'clock this afternoon the
court had not ruled whether this con-
versation should be stricken out as
and pondered over it during the recess
in the jury room.
The prosecution affected the coup by
speaking Privately with DR.. Faulkner,
who was on the stand during a short
recess and when the session was re-
convened the defense asked that the
conversation between the prosecution
and DR.. Faulkner be made public. The
conversation was repeated and was to
the effect that Mrs. Brock, after sum-
moning DR.. Faulkner admitted after
the alleged operation, that she per-
mitted Mrs. Laube to perform the op-
Grafton.
The repetition of this conversation
is considered by both to be a vital
point and consequently both parties
are lighting hard for and against its
admission as evidence.

VAN SICKLE

A protest has been filed by the Har-
IeyDavidson racers against the eligi-
bi1ity OF Charles Van Sickle, who
showed them up 50 badly in the big
races at Harlem last Saturday in which
he beat them running even and by
giving them a big handicap. The pro-
test IS being fled by S. w. Fahrney
who forwarded his protest TO the presi-
dent OF the American Federation Of
Motorcyclists. c. NJ. Belts. The charges
are that the Hammond boy competed
in an unsanctioned race at Freeport
several weeks ago
Yesterday however. Van Sickie's
entry fee for the big hnl-elimbing con-
test was accepted and he does not feel
that he will be barred from entering
the race Il look upon that act as
pure mud-slinging caused by jealousy"
said Van Sickle this morning. They
are all sore because I have a faster
machine than they have and they can't
win the races with me competing. I
feel confident that they will not meet
with any success, as there is no pos
sible grounds upon which they could
protest my membership"
Van Sickle is entered IN all three
events at Algonquin and he is by far
the favorite in the hill climbing con-
test The distance IS about a half mile
to the top Of the incline. which lies at
an angle OF about fifteen degrees. The
three events are for machines OF 2O.l
cub inch capacity. 3o.5 cubic inch ca
pacity and a free for all. The Ham
mond contestant will leave tomorrow
for the scene of the contest.

Bad Accident in Blooming Mill of
Illinois Steel Co., Where Big
Force Was at Work.
HUGE PIECES OF IRON HURLED ABOUT ROOM
Damage Estimated at About $4,000, and Plant Will
Have to be Shut Down While Making
Necessary Repairs.

South Chicago, Oct 17.-Three hun
dred men escaped death or severe in
jury last night when the engine in
the blooming mill. one OF the largest
in the Illinois Steel mills. burst. about
$50. While all escaped death or ser
ious injury, the loss amounts to $50,
600 and possibly 100000. and the loss
of time on account of the plant having
to shut down. Immediately after the
accident a general call was issued.
summoning both the entire day and
night forces of the mechanical depart
ment. to make repairs as soon as pos
sible. 1t Is thought that by today
noon work to a limited extent can be
resumed again. The rail mill at this
time Is crowded to the utmost with
work, and tho delay which cannot be
remedied for some time, will be seri-
Gus handicap.
That nobody was Killed or at least
seriously injured while the pieces of
iron from the bursting engine were
flying in every direction, seems almost
miraculous as there were hundreds OF
people in the mill a, the time. Pieces
of iron struck the last corner in the
building, injuring other machinery and
damaging the building to some extent.
The fly wheel was torn off and hurled
distance of so feet, alighting, how
ever, without touching anybody.
The destroyed engine was one of the
finest in the plant. and has been regu-
larly overhauled with the others once
a year. 1t was thought to be perfectly
safe, and was the pride of the mill
Today it is a complete ruin and only
by using an emergency engine will
ii be possible to turn out work.
Unlike other mills, the engine in the
blooming mill is not separate from the
mill itself but in perfect view of the
working men.
One man, who had as narrow escape
as any of his fellow workmen. said
this morning:
Il was Interested in my work and
not paying any attention to my sur
roundings, when suddenly / heard
whizzing sound pass my ear and felt
a pressure of air. simultaneously
heard a crashing sound. one from the
direction of the engine and another
one behind me. The engine had gone
to pieces and the whizzing noise that
I heard was caused by piece of fly
ing iron which narrowly missed my
head and then struck the wall at some
distance. Had I been in its course
wound not be telling this story this
morning"

WORK AND WAGES.

To the Editor of The Republican:
Sir-In Saturdays issue of a local
paper one Of the leading citizens Of
Phoenix is quoted as saying that more
laboring men are needed in this vicin-
| ity. that the supply is far short of the
demand. | will not go so far as to
brand this statement as untrue, but /
do most emphatically assert that the
reason for this shortage is simply that
the wages around Phoenix are noto-
riously the lowest in the territory. In
Yavapai county the unskilled laborer
around the mines receives $3.50 per
eight hour day. Deducting s1.00 per
day he saves $500 per month. How
does this compare with your farm Ia
borer here who works ten or twelve
hours per day for $500 per month?
or your bayfield, labOrer who gets
81 90 for ten hours with the thermom-
ter at 10 degrees? At Granite Reef
the wages are $500 per day; at Whip
pie Barracks, Prescott. the wages are
ls3.00-just a third more. In addition
to that, take into consideration the
difference in temperature in the two
places and then ask yourself is there
any wonder that there was a surplus
OF labor in Yavapai last summer and
shortage in Maricopa?
Yes, there was an over supply of
men there for a while. In Humboldt
| have known Of men remaining for
two weeks In the smelling camp try
ing to get work and finally having to
leave, disappointed. Even on the A. &
C.. where II is just as hot as it is here.

cause the wages We're high.
Even now I do not notice that the
columns OF the Gazette are overloaded
with help wanted" ads. Occasionally
one appears something like this:
"Wanted-Strong boy or young man
on ranch; wages $500 per month and
board or Livery stable man; light
work, light pay" This last is true In
Prescott liverymen receive $4,000 to
$4,000 and board; in Phoenix. $4,000.
but no board. could continue to
make these "odious comparisons" for
long time, but think this will do to
prove my contention as before stated.
Workingmen naturally flock where
the best inducements are offered, and
when a man complains that he can
not get help. he means cheap help
at his own price, When a man talks
of importing foreigners when Ameri
cans are to be had he is doing a great
Injustice to the toilers of this country.

employer who does the importing.

of any number of improvements by
private parties. New buildings have
gone up: stores have heen enlarged
and renovated and there is a general
air of progression and prosperity here

week will mark the completion of the

next room extends clear TO the rear
and will be occupied by the ]. w. Par

mentioned in these columns. The third
and last room, the smaller of the
three, has been fitted up as an office
room. 1t is divided into two COM

story in height but has been so con-
structed that at any time in the fu-

In store improvements there are
several instances that might be noted.
The extra time of the members of tbs

As mentioned heretofore, Hyder
Bros. have already completed the work
of placing their large stock of shoes In
an individual department which has
before been described. A bicycle track
ladder was ordered long before the
change was made but was slow in ar
irving. 1t is now here, however, and
the department is fully equipped with
this track and ladder and such other
fixtures as are needed in the shoe
business.
