James Hit BY Auto Crank.

w. c. James of Norfolk, a Modern
Woodman deputy suffering with a
crushed cheek bone, is a victim OF
Norfolk's first automobile accident
While working with a machine in
the Altman garage about 5 O'Clock
last evening. Mr. James was struck
by an auto crank just below the left
eye, the blow smashing and fractur
ing the bone.
While the accident was a serious
one serious results were not feared
unless complications set in.
Mr.. James was in the act of turn
ing the crank when the gasoline en-
CINE started up with jerk causing
ing the crank to swing round in his
hand striking him with terrific force
in the fact. He was taken at once tC
the Altman home.
The machine which Mr.. James wa!
cranking was not his own runabou
but an old machine in the garage
which had Just been fitted with new
engine. The crank handle was unus
ually heavy which accounted for tn,
force of the blow when it slipped off
1t is probable that no operation will
be performed to push the broken bone
back in place.

ATrasedy of Southern South Dakota

Sioux Fails, 5. D., July 14.-Special
to The News: May you then shed a
few tears for your loving Jennie"
These were the concluding words of
last message written to her lover by
Miss Jennie Peters, who soon after
hastily scribbling the words with a
pencil took her own life by hanging
herself from a roof-beam in a barn.
To the work of scandalmongers is
directly due her tragic death. The
girl was handsome and was only sew
enteen years of age. She was the
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Nicholas
Peters, highly respected and pioneer
residents Of the central part of Bor
Homme county. The case is one OF
the most pathetic in the history OF
that part of the state.
Driven to desperation by the fact
that the scandal mongers had caused
a separation between herself and the
young man to whom she had been en-
gagged to be married, the girl took hel
life, selecting as the scene for her ext
the bar belonging to the mother Of
her lover.
In her hat.band was found a mes
sage directed to her lover in the fol
lowing words; Dare 10 open Nobody
but Jim-James Bampas." The lettel
lacked the polished grammatical ex
preston of an educated writer, bu
was an honest expression of love anC
forgiveness, and proved her far above
the scandalmongers, whose wagginl
tongues had brought about the separa
ton of the young couple and driver
the affectionate young girl to a suicid,
grave.

GREGORY WON THINNING GAME
Carnival Ball Tournament Spelled Vic
tory in Four Games.

Gregory, S. d., July 13.-Special to
The News: Winning from Carlock
and Burke the first two days and de-
feating Herrick s to 6 the third day
and Spencer to 4 the fourth day,
Gregory won the first four ball games
in her base ball tournament held in
connection with the Gregory carnival.
Burke came over with a bunch of
players picked from the best teams in
the county and had it on Gregory 2 to
until the seventh inning, when one
Gregory man crossed the plate. In
the last half of the ninth inning, with
two out and two strikes on the batter,
Gregory took a brace and defeated
Burke by running in two men. Thurs
| day Herrick went up against the
| local champions and lost out by the
score of 8 to in favor of Gregory
Friday Spencer sent up a large dele
cation to wipe Gregory off the base
ball map. Spencer was thirsting for
revenge and desired 10 retrieve the
shut-out Gregory administered on the
home diamond on Decoration day,
when W. j. Bryan was present. She
had gathered together one of the best
aggregations of ball players possible
to secure in north Nebraska. There
was plenty Of Spencer money in evil
dence at the beginning of the game,
and several hundred dollars was put
up by fans.
Spencer led off with a score on a
wild throw in the first inning. They
held this lead until the fourth inning,
when Gregory tied the score. In the
fifth Spencer added two runs and Gre.
CORY did likewise in the seventh. The
score hung up here on a tie until
eleven innings had been played. In
the first half of the twelfth Spencer
added one run and it looked as if all
was over. But Gregory put two men
over the plate at their turn at the bat
before man was put out, thus ending
the game, the score standing to 4 in
favor of Gregory.
The Gregory enthusiasts were much
enraged at what they termed the fav.
oritism of Umpire Jack Slaughter of
Burke. But all passed off quietly when
Gregory finally topped the score and
animosities were forgotten in the
grand jubilee that followed

GREGORY FINALLY LOSES.
After Six Consecutive Victories Greg
Dry Dropped Game to Burke.

Gregory, S. d., July 14.-Special to
The News: After winning six con-
secutive games, Gregory lost the last
contest in the base ball tournament,
Burke winning the final game by a
score of to 8 in a ten-inning contest.
At the end of the ninth the score
was TO 2. Through numerous errors
in the tenth Burke secured two scores
while Gregory at her turn at the bat
could not secure more than single
score. All of Burkes scores were Sc.
cured on errors.
Gregory has finished the first half
of her base ball season with a nice
record, having won fifteen out of the
nineteen games played. On account
of the extremely hot weather and on
account of number of the players
leaving for two or three weeks vaca
ton Gregory will not play ball until
after the first of next month.
