Upon her refusal to conform with his wish. she declared that tussle ensued. As a climax to the affair, Jones. shc said, dumped her choicest garments upon the uncelan floor and departed, carry ing with him the trunk which had con tained them.
 Jones denied that the woman's story was true. He only owed her 7b centS. he stated. In payment he presented her with $2. he declared, and over come with the emotion of ownership at the feeling of the crisp note, she re- fused to give him his change.
 So started the difficulty. he declared, adding further that the woman had told him he might take the trunk aH security for his change. offering as a reason for not giving 1t to him at the time that she had lost the money.
 The fight between the negroes was insignificant, Jones receiving a slight bruise on his forehead.

 the Trade With Montgomery.
 Johnny Lively is the bona fde prop erty of the Montgomery Baseball Club. and if Cleveland wants i'm they will have to draft him from Montgomery" l" This statement was made by Dr. Par ker. one of the owners of the Gulfport Baseball Club last night during fan ntng bee in which the action of Char lie Frank in protesting Sundays game in New Orleans had a conspicuous part. "one day early last August" he con tlnued, Bob Gilks had gone over to New Orleans and the President of the Gulfport club gave me written author ity to act as I thought best. I imme- diately sent a telegram to Dr. Inge in Mobile asking him to meet me, and taking the first train I went to Mobile. the result of the trip being that sold him Pitcher Schultz.
 Taking the next train, I came to Montgomery. and after a conference with President R. J. Chambers, sold him Pitcher Lively and Catcher Krebs. Charlie Frank had expected Bob Gilks to turn Lively over to him and I guess that's why he is sore.
 got Lively from Joppa, a little town not far from Cullman, up on Sand Mountain. He was 6 country boy, but we developed him and last year he won 23 and lost IT of his games, and with another years work with Mont gomery in the Southern League 1 look to see him one of the leading pitchers of the country
 This looks like another piece of dy- namite under Charlie Franks 'pro- test. and 1t will be interesting to see what action Nashville will take on the DIE bunch of men with the Pelicans.

! K[W[ENAW BAY !
Crushed Between
Freight Cars
Joseph Forrest Former Resident of
Keweenaw Bay Meets Death
on South Shore Road.

Joseph Forrest, former firemen at
the Mass Mill, was accidentally killed
Thursday. The accident which caused
Forests death occurred about 30 clock
Thursday morning at Champion. He
left Marquette about midnight on
Freight No 80, which is a meat train
running to the copper country Wednes-
day and Sunday nights. Frank Dorcy
was the conductor. At Champion the
train had orders to pick up a number of
meat cars that had been set out on a
siding by St. Paul freight that had
hauled them up from Chicago. Forrest
was at the tail of the South Shore train
as it backed down on the cars in ques-
ton. The coupling failed to make when
thecars came together.
Forrest motioned to the engineer OF
his train 10 pull ahead, and the train
was moved few feet from the Chicago
cars. Forrest stepped on the track and
was busy adjusting the coupling on the
end car of his train when the Chicago
cars, which had been Jared into motor
by the bump they received when the
coupling failed, ''drifted, (" silently anc
without warning, down on him, there
being slight grade at that point. The
unfortunate man was caught and severe.
ly crushed abont the hips and abdomen.
He was placed aboard passenger
train and take to st. Mary's hospital al
Marquette. His injuries were too SER
ious to permit of saving his life, how
ever. and he passed away at about 7:3C
o'clock.
Forrest had been in the employ Of the
South Shore for several years as q
brakeman, and stood so well up on the
list of old employees that he did not lose
his place in the pinch of the quiet con
ditions in railroading the past several
months. He is survived by a wife and
five children, some Of them step-child-
rem, and was member of the Brother
hood Of Railroad Trainmen. His age
was thirty-three years.
The deceased was well-known among
railroad men and generally liked and
the news Of his death was a great
shock to his acquaintances. The fun
eral will be held Sunday afternoon at
o'clock from st. Johns church, Mar
quette.

: Good VIII Farm.

The annual report of the Good Viii
Farm, which was read at the meeting
held in Houghton Tuesday night, is
evidence of the excellent work done by
the institution. During the last six
months covered by the report there were
forty-two children who were given
a home surrounded by the best infuen-
ces. Tuesday there were twenty children
in the institution. The number varies
from time to time as children are ad-
opted, returned to parents, or placed
at the Farm.
1t is>rather unfortunate, though, that
the good work should be hampered by
q lack of funds. The financial report
showed a slight sum on the debit side
of the ledger. The efforts of the insti-
tuition are circumscribed to great ex-
tent by the constant necessity of
soliciting money to be used in further
ing the work. An excellent opportun-
ity is offered those charitably inclined
to assist in the support of the noble
work Of caring for the little tots in
distress.
The institution has no creed as is
evident by the fact that no less than
ten different nationalities at some time
during the year were represented by
children at the Farm. The Good Will
Farm is aptly named, it has the good
will of the entire community.
