Detroit batted a victory On Pfeister's
curves. Detroit was handicapped by
Echmidt's inability to cut down run
ners at second and by the failure OF
her heavy hitting outfield to bat at
critical moments when hits meant
runs. None of Detroit pitchers
seemed able to consistently puzzle the
Chicago batsmen, for even Mullin, who
pitched Detroit's emily victory, was
found for seven hits. Throughout
the series Chicago's hitting was oppor-
tune. The occasions were rare when
with men on bases and runs needed,
q Chicago batsman was not there with
the needed hit.
The games were singularly free
from squabblIng and on only two or
three occasions were the decisions Of
the umpires questioned. AT no time
was 1t necessary for a player to be
sent to the bench to inforce discipline
and good order. The series, however,
created less interest in the two cities
most affected than that Of last year,

Narrow Escape From Death

Philip Bell, son of Mr.. Harry
Bell, Sr., had narrow escape
from death last Tuesday evening.
and does not realize just what hap
pened to him and how. He left
home last Tuesday afternoon and
rode over to Mr.. Tom .Johnson's
on business. Leaving there about
6 O'Clock, he passed the blacksmith
shop on the Wickliffe road, and re-
members that his horse became
frightened at the flame of the forge.
He says that the last thing he re-
members is yalloping off down the
road toward the Wickliffe store.
AT Z O'Clock MIR. Wilson, who con-
ducts the store, opened the door,
and to use his own words, Phil
staggered in" He was in semi
cOmatOse state, vomited intermit-
tently, and could give no intelli-
gent statement concerning himself
or his horse. His horse was after
ward found hitched in the woods
nearby. After the family of Mr..
Bell was notified he was taken home
and DIR. j. +. Harris. of Berry
vile, summoned. He found the
patient suffering with conclusion
of the brain, and has since been
giving him careful attention. He
has now practically recovered. L,
is presumed that Mr.. Bell was
either thrown from his horse by q
sudden jump, or fell off while suf-
fering momentary dizziness or yer,
tigo, and suffered the conclusion a.
stated above, as he had lost moth
ing of value (as would probably
have been the case if he had beer
struck down by an aSSailant ol
robber as was at first thought. Ii
is now thought that someone lounc
the horse loose and, not knowing
who the owner might be. tied hin
TO the first convenient tree, where
he was found.

Says Company Exceeds Its Rights.

\ startling announcement was
made in the County Court on Mon
day by counsel for the Winchester
and Washington City Railway Co. !,
when the franchise rights of the
company were under discussion.
1t was nothing less than a pronun-
ciamentoon the part of the company
that the County Court had no juris-
diction in controlling the construc-
ton of the dam. nor was it the in
tention of the company to erect a
fish ladder to permit the passage
of fish from below to points above it.
The interests affected by the policy
of the company thus announced
are so important To the people who
live adjacent to the river for more
than hundred miles between the
dam and the source of the rivers
tributaries that the announcement
marks an epoch in the history of II
vast region of country. That a
corporation under whatever color
of right, should by the erection of
dam deprive vast region of
country of its fish supply, seems
monstrous, and until the Winches-
ter and Washington City Railway
Company discloses the authority
upon which it bases its power to
do it, we shall hold to the conviction
that it has exceeded its lawfnl
ights.-Charles Town Advocate.
