MARROW ESCAPE FROM
 DEATH BY ACCIDENT
Horse Becomes Frightened Throwing pr. Ferguson and
 Wife From Buggy.

As a result of his horses becoming Frightened at moving freight train Tn the neighborhood of the Calumet & Pittsburg shaft yesterday afternoon pr. K. Ferguson, of the Copper Queen medical staff. and his wife, had a mar. row escape from death or at least SC rious injury. The physician did sus tain severe bruises, but Mrs. Ferguson escaped uninjured.
 Several days ago the doctor was driving along Naco Road in the vicin. fty of the Calumet & Pittsburg at which poiat the road runs very close to the ra lroad track. The horse be came frightened and started to run Dut ne was able after a couple of L,tn- utes to quiet him down. The following day the same incident occurred at the same place.
 Yesterday afternoon Dr. Ferguson accompanied by his wife, was driv. ing to Don Luis on a call, and had reached the mlucky spot in the road A train of freight cars came along and the horse instead of trying to run, wheeled in such way that the bug. gy was overturned. Mrs. Ferguson JoAAPCu HI IAlSs Oul eHS uoStOi De came entangled in the reins and was dragged some distance.
 The occupants of another carriage noticed the accident and brought the physician, who it was thought was seriously injured back to the city. Re; ports from the residence last evening were to the effect that no bones were broken, but that the patient had sus, tained several severe bruises which will probably confine him to his bed for the next few days.

 The .Bisbee team finished the last game on the regdlar schedule at Tue son yesterday, defeating Hermosillo, and will probably arrive in the city this morning leaving again for Can. anea tomorrow
 What arrangements the tournament management at Tucson has made for the deciding of the first prize for which Phoenix, Tucson and and Doug. las have chance to tie Bisbee, are not yet known. It is thought how. ever, that a series between the teams having the same percentage will be arranged to take place next week.

STRANGE ENGINE

Itswas strange looking engine which brought the Stilwell special in- to Fl Paso this morning. It belongs to the Orient route and is of the class that road will use. at least as long as E. Dickinson is the general manager of the road, as that kind of locomotive is a hobby of his.

California. Will Be Represented
in american Championships

When the California athletes strip
for action in the championship games
at the Jamestown exposition in Sep
,tember it is expected that Herbert
Cheek and William A. Powell will be
members of the team from this coast.
Both have had remarkable careers on
the cinder path and stand out today
as two of the greatest athletes de-
veloped on this coast. 1t is 10 years
since they started as high school ath-
letes, Cheek representing Oakland and
Powell Berkeley. Both entered the
university in the same year and they
swept everything before them in their
respective events while in college.
1t is the opinion of men who keep in
close touch with athletes that there is
not a man in all America at this time
who can beat Cheek in the 220 yard
hurdle race. Powell is equally in
vincible in the 40 yard hurdles. This
is not the limit of their athletic
'prowess, as both are clever performers
in other events. Cheek can jump more
than % feet and he can run the classic
100" in 1015 seconds. He can also
run the quarter mile in time which
will win on any track and he is always
good for 6 feet in. the high. jump. In
addition to all these events he is pro-
nounced the best 800 yard man on the
coast.
Powell has cleared feet inches in
the high jump. and ne is also good
man at the quarter mile. He beat
Cheek by inches in the low hurdles in
Is 3-5 seconds at the dual meet be-
tween the Olympic club and Stamford
university in April The record is held
by Kraenzlein, the worlds greatest
hurdler, at 1915 seconds While
Powell beat Cheek in the high hurdles
the latter turned the tables on his
friend in the low hurdles, which he won
in 25 seconds. S

the last team which represented the
University of California in the east,
and each won the events in which he
competed. The surprising thing about
their athletic careers is that they were
out of competition for some years.
Cheek spent four years in Siam, during
which time he devoted but little time
to athletics. He was surprised to find
upon resuming practice on the track
upon his return that he was
able to show better work than at the
height of his college career. He spent
only two years at Berkeley, while
Powell spent the full four years there.
If they go east they will be eligible
for both the Junior and the senior
championships of America Both would
undoubtedly start in the high hurdles.
while Powell would make speciality
of the high jump. Cheek would make
the low hurdles his speciality.
Both men are of the highest type of
athlete. being quiet and unassuming
and entirely free from the affectations
which spoil many athletes who have
made but ordinary names for them
selves. They have given freely of their
knowledge to help develop young ath-
letes. Powell coached the Lick school
track team for two years and under
his direction the boys won their first
academic league championship. He was
able to impart his style to his pupils in
a marked degree. His greatest sue
cess was with the 1904 team at Lick
school. He developed Bert Golcher,
sprinter and hurdler; Cope, a sprinter
who ran hundred yards in 101-5 Sec
onds. which still stands as the academic
league record; Magerstadt, who was
winner In the broad and high Jumps
and Fred Moullen, the record breaking
pole vaulter. He also coached the re-
lay team which broke the American
interscholastic record.

Burns is far from being heady

wavs. When he has an opponent In

He can keep lodging in and out for 20

elusive target at which to aim blow
Burns is only "a years old and his
youthful appearance is In striking con-

Burns went down TO Los Angeles
