Clifford Finders, Son of Post

and Lives an Hour
CAUGHT LEG IN THE sTIRRuP
Horse Ran, Dragging Lad Distance OF
100 Yards, Fracturing Nose, and Sew
oral Ribs - Death Due to concus-
sion Of the Brain, Lad Never Re-
gaining Consciousness.

A distressing accident occurred this
morning at Ferguson, in the south part
of the county, when Clifford Finders,
the 9-year- old son Of Postmaster and
Mrs. Oliver A. Finders, was dragged
by horse that he was riding and
sustain ed injuries that caused his
death an hour later. The boy died
without regaining consciousness.
Master Finders left home for a
horseback ride on an animal that ne
was used to riding, and one consid-
cred safe. In some manner the boy
lost his balance and fell, one leg be-
coming fastened in the stirrup. The
fact that the lad was dangling about
the horses legs frightened the animal,
which started to run. The lad was
dragged 100 yards before the horse
was brought to standstill. He was
then unconscious, and an examination
by surgeon revealed a broken nose.

sion OF the brain. Death resulted just
an hour after the injury was sustained,

The injury to the brain was ascribed
as the cause OF death.
Mr.. and Mrs Finders are Frustrated
by the suddenness of the terrible acci-
dent. and the entire town has not yet
recovered from the shock.
The funeral will be held Sunday aft
ernoon from the Finders residence.

Had Yesterdays game been forfeited
to Burlington the result and score
would have been the same. In a large
mea sure it was forfeited-forfeited by
muffs, wild throws and other m1sera-
BILE errors-until the score had mount
ed TO 9 to o. which was the final result.
Burlington was as much better than
the locals yesterday as the locals were
better than Burlington the day before.
The visitors clearly outclassed the
home team both in fielding and hitting.
Burlington knocked bort out OF the
box as the climax for a fierce batting
rally in the sixth and seventh innings.
Green, Burlington's pitcher, was put
out of the game at the end of the third
inning for making remarks touching
on one of Umpire Eckman's decisions.
He was succeeded by Els, but the To-
Gals had no better luck with MIN IMAM
they had had with Green.
THE entire local team seemed to have
had bad day yesterday, and had not
Burlington fallen upon bort and hit
hina without mercy, the result would
have been the same with the score
alone different. Fielding and battery
errors gave Burlington a start in the
third and fifth innings. This advan-
tage was increased by the runs hit in
in the seventh, and by the runs helped
home by errors and batted in over the
plate in the eighth
After Green was retired and ELS
came in, the locals We're able to hit him
rather literally, but not at all effect

him in six innings, and got as many
as three in single round, no runs re-

Local Comment

Lovers of band music are better
supplied this summer than ever before
in the way of concerts, now having
four each week. Some of the good
women of the city enter complaint
against the city an band concert
nights, and their charges will bear
looking into. The complaint is nothing
more or less than the annoyance caused
by street sweepers who are at work
when the pavements are thronged with
carriages whose occupants are trying
to enjoy the music. Rig after rig has
@ be driven out of the way Of the sweep
err, then, is compelled to be moved
again to make room for the men who
load the refuse. With the band play
ing four nights out of the week there
is not much opportunity for night
sweeping if such an order We're given,
unless the cleaning is done after mid
night This is usually the method en-
ployed in cities Of this size.

There is humor to be found even in

increase thereof The paper caused
litter from the feminine officiary, and

Yet it was cat-a cat of variety
that Tommy had never seen save in
picture books A shadowy bulk came
toward him out of the darkness, and
as it emerged into the light Tommy's
mind told him in a flash what it was.
The cruel head, the yellow-green eyes,
the striped fur-this was the runaway
tiger. She must have slipped in
through those outer doors.
A cold wave ran over poor Tommy
He wanted to scream, but he held his
teeth tightly together.
The huge cat came toward him
slowly, the yellow eyes on his face.
When she reached him she purred
again, and reaching out her red
tongue licked the back of his right
hand Her tongue was rough and it
hurt him cruelty, but he was careful
not to draw his hand away too sud-
denly. Then she rubbed her head
against his leg, caress that almost
pushed him over.
Her movements were so mlstak-
ably friendly that Tommy's voice
came back to him.
"Kitty, kitty, nice kitty" he said,
and timid1y scratched the cruel head.
The tiger purred again, and then
yawned in quite a dreadful way.
Tommy's brain was working fast
Perhaps the tiger was hungry. IF he
could feed her it might keep her good
natured. He was afraid to try to run
away from her. She was too near.
He would get her up into the Kitchen:
"Come, kitty he coaxingly said
and turned toward the stairs. He
was little surprised to find he could
walk. When he reached the lower
step she was right at his heels. He
mounted carefully and pat-pat-pat the
tiger followed him.
The kitchen door was open and the
warm sunshine streamed across the
floor. The tiger stretched herself in
this sunny pathway and lay there, her
yellow eyes on the boy and her heavy
tail humping the floor.
"Hungry, kitty?" the boy asked her.
The tiger purred and yawned again

with a great display of red mouth and

with great display of red mouth and
yellow fangs.
Tommy took the saucer Of cookies
from the table and emptied it close to
her. She ate them greedlly. Then he
remembered there was some cold
meat in the pantry. AS he lifted it
down from the shelf he looked
around. The tiger was standing in
the doorway watching him: He gave
her the meat and she speedily cleared
the plate.
Then it occurred to Tommy that she
might be thirsty too. The pump was
on the porch close to the kitchen
door. There was pail beneath the
spout. He went out and filled it and
the tiger waited for him in the door
way. He brought the pail into the
kitchen and she drank greedlly.
Then she laid herself down in the
sunshine again, and there being no
thing further for Tommy to do he
sat there in his mothers low rocking
chair and watched her.
1t was a warm day and there was
something soothing about the heavy
air. Tommy had quite recovered
from his fright. He felt almost COM
