brother of the deceased. :

Alas! Poor Brock.

Brock, the champion of all
dog fighters in this town, met
his sad fate last night down at
the Pennsylvania railroad, his
death being the result of five
pistol shots about IL o'clock.
At IL o'clock he was peacefully
lying at his old Summer Home,
but in some mysterious way met
his end within a few minutes
afterwards.
Brock has long held the cham.
pionship in Hendersonville. He
could be credited for the fact
that he never felt his strength,
therefore was never known to
raise a rumpus in the Canine
family. Wednesday Daily.

Base ball Fans Raises Mon
Gy for Our Team:

A large number of the base ball
fans, with the base ball associat-
ion, had a conference last night,
for the purpose of raising funds
for the base ball team.
The boys have been losing
money in nearly all the games,
and the fact became evident to
the many lovers of ball that they
had to have support.
The result of the mass meeting
last night was very encouraging.
Some of the leading business men
of the town were present and
contributed literally to the cause.
Without the slightest trouble
$3.50 was raised, and committee
was appointed to solicit subscrip-
tons today, when they think
they:will be assured of $150more.
They detained the Cowpen boys
last night and will have another
game with them today at 4:3O.
The locals have wired for a
Mr.. Warren from Durham to
come to assist them Friday in the
game that will rage with Union.
will come with a good re-
cord behind them, but the locals
feel the least frightened
over the fact. They hope to secure
the Durham man, andif they can
keep Lynch to play with them,
it will add untold strength to the
game. Lynch is an excellent play
and his help was readily felt.

SUNSHINE AND WEATHER WILL
BE BRIGHT SUNDAY.
This weather.weep is but transit

This weather-weep Is but transi-
tory thing, Dear Reader.
Sunday morning the piping black
bird will call you to look out OF the
window on a scene of sunshine and
laughing nature-and the snow fall OF
today will be down among the grass
roots.
This is the report that comes from
the place where the weather Is made
and the man that says 1t crosses his
heart and says 1t is really and truly
so.
While snow fall in May is a rarity. 1t
is no record-breaker and 1t does not
need the backing of the oldest inhab-
liant to carry this statement The
condition is merely due to a cross
ing of warm, wet air currents with
chill ones-the same chill breeze that
crawled under your collar on the way
home Friday evening.
The days prediction was for mixed
sunshine and snow fiurries continuing
until nightfall and then clearing-ua

CUTTING OUT CREOSOTE
BLOCK CAUSES TALK

Some speculation is being INDUCED
In about the city hall in regard to the
manner In which the estimators cut
out the creosote block items In the
budget this year. Last year the board
had but a small amount OF creosote
block paving submitted to II by the
d. P. W., but voluntarily substituted
that paving material for brick and as
phalt In some instances. But this sea-
son about fve-sixths Of the creosote
block paving was cut out.
Creosote block Is cheaper than 1t
was last year. The reason given by
several OF the estimators Is that they
considered the new material fancy
pavement and not fully tried out.
vAnother suggestion Is that the es-
timators were prejudiced by the bitter
fight over the creosote block contract.

Considerable contradictory testi-
mony was brought out at Saturday

the collision between two interurban
cars at Smiths switch, near Ypsilanti

much harder task to fix the blame
than at first supposed.
Friday afternoon Dispatcher Lester
A. Harrington swore positively that
the limited car, which was In collision.
did not stop at Harris for orders, but
went ahead past Burrell's and met the
local between Burrill's and Smiths.
Before the session opened, Saturday,
Mr.. Robson announced that the tes-
timony of the dispatcher would be
cnntradicted. and the ID. u. r, Off
Gals also gave II out that they would
produce passengers on the limited who
would testify that the car did not stop
after leaving Ypsilanti until they were
In collision.
The first person to testify that the
limited stopped at Harris was Miss

JUDGE OFT DECIDES
FOR ERNEST McCLEARY

Judge OFT gave judgment In favor
Of Ernest McCleary Friday afternoon
in the case brought against him by
the McCleary Electric Co. McCleary
was at one time manager for the COM
pany. but after a row he was forced
out. City Accountant Gridley was en-
gagged to go over the company's books
and ne found a shortage OF $1,000.
The greater part OF this was traced
later, and 1t was found that $500 had
gone to Henry e. visgar, trustee OF
the villSge of River Rouge, as loan.
About that time the company was aft
er n contract for the erection OF a $le.-
900 electric light plant for the vii
lage.
The company brought action against
McCleary for the recovery of the mon
ey, claiming that he had no right TO
loan money, but McCleary claimed
that his action was taken with the
full knowledge and consent of the COM
pany. visgar denied getting $500. but
admitted getting several small
amounts
In dismissing the case Judge OFT
said that he could not believe the
story OF the company officials, and
held with McCleary. that they knew
of the loan.

BURLINGTON FLYER
STOPPED BY
DYNAMITE
HELPER ENGINE BLOWN FROM
TRACK NEAR BUTTE. MONT, ~
EXPLOSIVE PROBABLY PLACED
ON RAILS BY HosoEs.

BUTTE. Mont. May "A bastard
ly attempt was made to dynamite
train No. 6. eastbound, on the North
ern Pacific. The train Is known as
the Burlington flyer and is due in this
city at midnight. Owing to the heavy
grade. a helper engine is used on all
trains entering the city from the west
and Is attached to the through train
at Garrison.
When within atmile and a half OF
this city, the helper engine struck
what is supposed to have been q
stick Of dynamite and was lifted clear
Of the rails, settling on the ties, along
which she ran for 800 feet.
The Engineers Story.
The story of the wreck rs best told
by Engineer Lensie, OF the helper en-
CINE He said:
when we left Garrison we were
fifteen minutes late and when nearing
Butte we were running at 80 miles an
hour. Ny engine and the one behind
me were carrying a full head OF steam.
Suddenly there was terrinc explosion
and my engine was lifted &c clear ar OF the
her right driving wheels about the
middle of the road bed. along which
We ran for 900 feet. Both my fireman
and I got a jolt that sent our heads
against the top OF the cab and for a
moment we were stunned. but quickly
recovered.
IT swing my air brake lever clear
over. bringing the train to stop. My
fireman. John Doreing. and / ran back
and found the second engine lying on
its side. Engineer Bussey was no.
where in sight. Geo. Ehlen, Bussey's
fireman, was cropping along I'm tho
ditch. His hands and face were SO
badly scalded that the flesh was drop
ping of and he was nearly insane from
pain.
I'VE took Ehien to the baggage car
where We made him comfortable Bus
seys body was later found under the
engine, where he was when the engine
rolled over on Its side"
Although many OF the passengers
were severely shaken up by the sud-
den stoppage Of the train, none was
seriously injured and all arrived here
on a special relief train at $3.50
o'clock.
There Is no clue to the perpetrators
of the outrage. although the opinion
Is expressed In railroad circles that
the dynamite probably was placed by
tramps in revenge for being put on
the trains.
