Saved Wounded PIoeon.

The archdeacon of London, in an
address on the growth of what he
called the instinct of rescue" told of
something he had done recently that
had given him great pleasure. Coming
out Of the house of commons one day,
he noticed pigeon that had been run
over lying in the road. He called the
attention Of police constable to the
little heap Of crippled feathers, and
asked what were best to be done.
Best to kill It," said the constable.
But / couldn't do that" said the
archdeacon. Picking up the bird, he put
1t inside his coat and took it home. He
managed to set the broken bone of
the leg, and after tending the patient
tenderly for two months, had the
pleasure Of seeing 1t restored to It's
former condition and fly joyously away
to rejoin its comrades on the roof
OF the house OF commons.

A NEW SERIES
Of BALL GAMES
AIl-Hawaiis Might Play Team
Picked From Players of
Riverside League.

One of the enthusiastic baseball fans
of the city has made the suggestion
that the most interesting contest which
could take place between the present
time and the arrival of the Coast team
under the guidance of Mique' Fish
er, would be series between the All
Hawaii team, as it has been selected,
and team picked from the Riverside
League, and composed mainly of the
members of the Palamas and the Chi
nese Athletic Club.
That such games would be a great
drawing card there is no doubt, and
the local fans would flock out in great
numbers to see them played. The ball
players in the Chinese, japanese and
Hawaiian teams which play at Aala
park have put up some fine contests
during the past season and are worthy
antagonists to meet the best which
the senior league has to offer. They
have one advantage over the players
In the big league. They are used to
big crowds and, no matter how much
excitement may be manifested through
the cheering of the rooters, they have
learned to keep steady heads and not
to mind the noise of the spectators.
The crowds which attend the games
at Aala park have been so large dur
ing the past season that it is safe to
say that they have averaged fully
three times the size of those at the
league grounds where admission is
charged.
The games would be a big drawing
card, and it would not be bad idea
to give the players a chance to make
the money coming from the gate re-
ceipts and thus put them in good
humor Tor the series which they will
play against the team from the Coast.

TO MAKE TRIP
TO MOLOKAI

A thorough test of the seagoing
capacities of the Kaahumanu, the new
launch of James Jaeger, of this city,
will be made this week. This launch,
which was built on the Coast and
brought down to this port on a sailing
vessel. was ordered with the idea of
using here for long cruises, but up to
the present time she has only been
tried on short trips around the city
and between here and Pearl Harbor.
Her cabin has several hunks which
on a good-sized yacht and a small
kitchen adds to the use which may be
made of the vessel. She is decked
over completely and is a very pretty
craft of her size, though it is probable
that she would pitch heavily in a
rough sea, on account of her small
size.
The test mentioned will be a trip
from here to Kaunakakai The start
will be made Thursday afternoon from
this city and among the passengers
will be James Jaeger, Henry Rycroft |
and Clarence W. Macfarlane. They |
are going to Molokai on shooting ex-
petition and expect to come back with
the Kaahumanu down to her maximum
draft, on account of the large quaint
ties of game which they will bag.
The return trip will be started in
time for the tourists to arrive in this
,ity Sunday afternoon or evening. The
has been made that the
chronometer is in first
lass working order and, through the
of Captain Macfarlane, has
'een so adjusted that it will now strike
he quarter hours as well as the halves.

Auto Notes


L. L. Benedict of New York, who re-
Gently returned from a European trip,
covered $4,000 miles in his car within
the four months he was abroad, 5000
of which were in Great Britain.
The London Daily Express calculates
that $4,000 Americans have visited the
British capital this season, leaving be-
hind them $7,5000OO, of which a goodly
part was spent by motoring parties.
A leading manufacturers reason for
catering to feminine taste in the de-
signing of his cars is that he believes
that IS per cent of high-grade auto
mobiles in this country are purchased
by women.
The Automobile Club of Portland,
Ore, has gone. on record as favoring
legislation forbidding persons under IS
years of age driving cars and requir-
ing rigid tests of chauffeurs before
they are licensed.
That women make the best pupils
was recently declared by an instructor
ir a Chicago automobile school, He
said he found them more quick to
learn and more apt to retain what they
had learned than men.

DOMESTIC TROUBLES
UNFORTUNATE CONDITIONS LED
TO KILLING OF FATHER BY SON
AT MOTHERS REQUEST.

Fargo Forum: In the district court
rooms in Fargo the people have an
example Of the crimes resulting from
domestic unhappiness in the trial of
Mrs Laura Cramer and her son, Ar
thur, for the murder Of Fred Cramer,
the husband and father The crime
occurred at Page, this county, and SO
far as the meager facts regarding the
tragedy have been given publicity, the
domestic quarrels were responsible
for the early taking off of the victim.
1t appears that Cramer was an indus
trious man, who worked at his trade
as a painter for many years. He was
not dissipated nor spend thrift. His
great trouble appears to have been
that he and his wife could not get
along. If the statements of his wife,
before and after the killing, are true,
the dead man was determined to have
peace in his family if he had to fight
for it. It was while attempting to as
sert his authority in his own home,
the woman says, that fearing another
beating, she ordered her son to shoot
the man she promised to love and
obey. Her affection had disappeared
after years of frequent and bitter quar-
rels. There are many women in simi-
lar circumstances, though few have
commanded their own son to shoot his
father It is an unfortunate case.

UNSUCCESSFUL LYNCHING
in MORTON COUNTY
sHALF-BREED STABBED SETTLER
IN A DRINKING BOUT---WAS ss
RESCUED AFTER BEING
TIED AND STONED.

"a Glenullin dispatch says: News
has been received of an attempt to
lynch a half-breed by a party Of Rus.
slams, near Leipzig, in Morton county,
about forty miles south of here.
The half-breed and two or three:
Russians had been drinking in a blind
pig. An alteration arose in which
the half-breed stabbed, and perhaps
fatally wounded, one Of the Russians.
The haIf-breed attempted to escape,
but crowd of Russians pursued and
captured him.
The wretch was taken some dis
lance out of town, tied to a small tree
and the forty or more Russians arm
ing themselves with powders, began
| to stone him. As cowboy from a
South Dakota ranch rode up and at
tempted to interfere to save the life
Of the prisoner. He fired into the
crowd and wounded one man in the
leg and roped another and dragged
| him for some distance. The remainder
Of the crowd came to the rescue and
the cowboy had to fee to save his
own life from a yolley of stones
| thrown at him.
This diversion, it seems, eventually
saved the life OF the half-breed, the
counsel Of older heads among the Rus
SLAMS finally prevailing.
The man who was stabbed is still
alive, but In a critical condition. Those
who were injured in the attempt Of
/ the cowboy to save the prisoner were
| not seriously hurt and will recover.
