Crown Point Lad Jumps

Into the Fire Yesterday.
RUN OVER BY STONE WAGON
Spectators Marvel At Escape of
Harry Diddie From Be-
ing Killed.
RUN OVER BY STONE WAGON
(SneciaI to TimeaN


Crown Point, Ind, June 3O.-Twice,
yesterday, within the space of n min
utes time, Harry Diddie, a young lad of
some 1e or II years, looked death in
the face. Diddie works for Morris
wagon. He came within an ace of
losing his life and mirncuOusIy es-
capped with slight injuries.
While driving through the alley in
the rear of Schlemmer's building with
Pete Miller, who was delivering a bar
rel of salt on which young Diddie was
sitting, the rear wheels of the wagon
struck a large stone, throwing the boy
and the barrel Of salt simultaneously
to tho ground To escape the falling
barrel young Diddie jumped to one
side. but in his excitement did not see
the heavy stone truck of the Pioneer
Monumental Works. whose driver had
been hauling sidewalk stone from the
court house to the Seberger cottages
on Clark street.
The heavy truck with its load weigh
ing over four tons, passed directly over
young Diddie's leg. crushing that
member fearfully but causing no fatal
injury. which seems miracle consider
ing the weight of the load
Bystanders consider that the boy
must have a charmed life in coming
out OF the two accidents in even the
shape he did. The lad was carried to
the Office of DR.. Gogbs. who dressed his
wounds, but it IS said that II will be
t few weeks before he will be able to
use his limb without the assistance Of
crutches

BAT IS VERY ANGRY
Boxer Incensed Over Crit
cism of His Training
Methods.

San Francisco. June Booth Cans
and Nelson intend to mix things from
the outset. and neither is planning to
stall along and take things easily in
their pending bout. This is the state
ment issued from the camp of each box
er today, both men being much aroused
by reports concerning the genuineness
of this battle.
Nelson points to the vigor he has
put into his work as an idication that
he has no desire to take part in any
bout which prove unsatisfactory. and
Cans came out with an explanation of
his APPARENTLY listless tactics.
Why should I box when I can put it
all over Nelson in that line" he de-
manded today. Il can easily hold him
same there. I want to develop my
strength and keep in good shape.
want to be able to land hard punches
and put him away as quick as I can.
What's the use of risking hurting my
fists on somebody's head? Most of my
work is road work, and I am going to
keep it up to the end. I intend to
drop that Thursday. and just to take a
long walk Friday afternoon to keep
my wind in shape"
Nelson is evidently sincere in his be-
lief that he can whip his opponent. but
it Is likely that a big slump in the
odds will come when the men enter
the ring. Cans is now favorite. but
| comparatively little betting has yet
been done, save for a scattering volume
of S. bets. The big money" is not ex-
pected until the ringside is reached, and
then Cans will be a top-heavy favorite
in spite of reports about his loahng

LA VENDORS VS.. COLUMBUS.

The LaVendors defeated the Column
bus base ball team at the Wolf Lake
Club house grounds Sunday afternoon
by a score of II to 10 infavor of the La
Vendors. The game was a see saw aft
fair, first one side ahead and then the
other, until the last half of the ninth
inning when the LaVendors scored the
necessary runs to win. with two men
out. The main features Of the game
were Teddy Girards home run drive
and the terrific smuggling of Frank
Croaker, shortstop for the Columbus
team, who secured four hits out of five
times up. The work of W. Eichenhold,
the umpire, was exceptionally good and
proved very satisfactory to both teams.

POOL TABLES BARRED
indianapolis Court Decides
Feature is Contrary to
Nicholson Law.

indianapolis, Ind, June 29.-AccOrd-
Ing to decision rendered today by
Judge Pritchnrd in the Criminal court,
billiard and pool tables in saloons are
Illegal attachments and must be disposed
of. Since the passage of the Nicholson
law the county commissioners have
been issuing licenses TO saloon men to
run billiard and pool tables in cOnnec-
ton with saloons, and the practice has
become common throughout the state.
The court holds that pool and billiard
tables are a means of amusement and
come under the section of the NichOI-
son law which makes IT illegal to have
any kind of amusement In connection
with saloons. If the decision is sus-
tanned by the Supreme court, all sa-
looms VIII have TO disnon-a with these
amusement features.
