HOW LABOR DAY
 WENT IN DOUGLAS
Many Hunt While Others Re- main at Home for Day of
 Sports.

DOUGLAS, Sept. 4.-(Special.)- )-
 While the countryside was speckled for miles about yesterday with Doug las people who fled all reminders of weekday cares on Labor Day, sever al hundred people watched the hose contest on G avenue in the forenoon and several hundred more wen; to the ball game in the afternoon.
 A purse of S100 was put up by To- cal merchants which the regular Douglas team won by coupling the hose to the hydrant in 29& seconds. The mixed team did exceedingly well. considering they were gathered on the spur of the moment from anybody who was willing to help the game along. Were it not that one of them stepped on the heel of the man in front of him and threw him they would have made better time. The regular and winning Douglas team was made up as follows:
 Phelan captain; Reed, Arthur, J. F. Butler, Snorr, Grunnewall, E. H. But Ter, T, H. Butler, B. W. Harris, W Harris and Morse.
 The scratch team included;- Brown, captain: Leonard, Rice, Davis, Adam son, Howe, Macie, Welch, Truax, and Hart

Additional dignity and notability was attached to this same Tony one day when he revealed card of the Doug las smeltermen's organization, No. 15O, properly signed by Percy Raw ling, organizer, W. F.

went over the stock with Uncle Jim" and selected about one thousand dol lars worth of goods. But when it came to settling up Tony was no- there. The transaction ended by Tony offering to be the recipient of loan Of fifteen cents.
 Last night his mind went of on a tangent again, and when Officer Lee Thompson took him m cnarge he was disrobing in front of the First Nation al bank. He announced to the officer that it was his intention to draw some money from the bank. He volunteered the information that he had five cents on deposit in that institution.
 This latter obsession will probably result in a charge of lunacy being pre- ferred against De Bonardi.

OF MIND
 SAVES BIG ACCIDENT
William Reese UpSetS Laden Automobile Before Bound-
 ing Street Car.

DOUGLAS, Sept. 4.-(Special)- )- What came within a hair of being a horrible fatality yesterday after noon was, by the presence of mind of William Nj. Reese, turned into an af- fair of broken bones. Mir. Reese pur- posely overturned his automobile to avoid crashing into one of the Doug las street railway cars running across Fourteenth street on avenue. MT. Reese's collar bone is broken and the muscles of both arms and shoulders torn. Mrs. Reese's right wrist is in- jured The arm muscles of Mrs. Ida Shultz, MT. Reese's sister, are torn. Four-year-old Alice Reese alone is un- hurt.
 We were autoing up Fourteenth street yesterday" said MT. Reese, and were within eighty feet of the crossing when we saw the car ap- preaching on B avenue. It neither whistled nor slackened its speed in the least. To go on meant a certain crash and the only thing to do was to turn sharply around, upsetins us, and l did it. I stopped in about thirty feet, =l-e-..esz The -IadiaS- fell nn ne and I got of with little injury.
 The lesson for the car company from this ought to be to use whistles when approaching crossings and to slacken speed. Will sue? haven't decided"
 The physicians say MT. Reese will be kept in bed about twenty days with his injuries. The White steamer which was in the smash-up is delapi- dated as to canopy and seats, but not beyond repair. MT. Reese is at his home. $40 Eleventh street. He is a mining engineer and manager of the San Juan Bautista mine.
 o'Donovan's Statement.
 Superintendent O'Donovan of the Douglas Street Car company, concern ing the automobile accident of yester day afternoon, made this statement
 ."Mr. Reese, his wife and another lady were in their automobile going east on Fourteenth street in the di Fection of the ball park. Near the in tersection of Fourteenth and B tt avoid a collision with a car on tht B avenue line Mir. Reese caused hi car to Yeer sharply, oveTturning it Mir. and Mrs Reese receiving injuT ies. I hold that the street car com pany cannot be held at fault for thi accident At no time was Mir. Reese automobile closer than seyenty-hv' feet of the street car"

him why he was SO happy and he said:
