THEY TAKE 1T EASY
I. AND SAY NOTHING

Managers Heyser and Jerman of
the Salem Independent team are re-
ceiving all kinds of congratulations
CD from the many airmount sup
porters on their defeat last Sunday,
such as "Yuh couldn't play tag with
a lazy turtle; let a bunch OF tiny
kids beat yuh; you're hopelessly on
the punk list.
Once upon a time Portland's team
in the Pacific Coast league visited
Chehalis, Wash, to play an aggre-
cation just for practice and the
Washington bunch defeated the big
coasters. Portland while in Los An
geJes at one time defeated Chas.
Comiskey's team, the White Sox of
Chicago. San francisco was given
a beautiful licking by team in the
California state league during the
first part of the baseball season this
year. Now do you hear anybody
hollering ,leir heads off about these
gamesY Many of those who have
been handing IL to the managers of
the Salem team think they (Heyser
and Jerman) are sore clear through
as the result of Fairmount's victory
and the many joshes handed out by
the fans, but this Is far from being
the case. Heyser and Jerman don't
say much about Il. as the opportunity
for keeping still and hearing the base
ball bug hum In meaningless tones
cannot be resisted by the wise pro-
moters and they are enjoying a big
bunch OF knocks coming from some
people who don't see the point and
who rather enjoy being able to yell
about nothing.

BIrds Killed by Golf Raile.

mashie shot which lofted the ball.
This in its flight struck a swift on

straight to the ground.

not quite unprecedented, for In the
Field of September 12, 1891, there ap-
peared a notice Of swallow killed
by a golf ball and another struck by
g cricket ball was reported In the
Field Of August 25, 1894. A lark was

War is one thing that can rouse

get excited about politics, science,

everything foreordained? Leave it to
Allah. With a whole nation in this

the Turk has neither thirst for knowl-
edge nor any great passion. 1t is not
strange that he has but little curios.

Colorado Springs.-Robert Womack,
who discovered gold at Cripple Creek,
died of paralysis here after a linger-
ing illness. In his last years Womack
was dependent on a sister who keeps
boarding house here.
This is the end of man who in
one sense paid $2S0,000,000 for one
spree.
That stupendous sum has been TAX
Creek where Bob Womack first found
the yellow metal.
Born in Kentucky sixty-six years
ago, Bob Womack's father took his
family to Colorado in the early sixties.
The Womacks raised cattle ON land
they homesteaded on Cripple Creek.
After some years the elder Womack
sold his herds and with his son Will
liam came here. Bob, believing there
was gold around Cripple Creek, re-
mained there.
After years of fruitless search Bob
found traces of gold In a piece of
float rock which he picked up while
riding the range with his brother-in-
law, Theo. Lowe. Sending Lowe on a
six days ride to Denver to have the
rock assayed, Bob went on about his
work. Lowe returned with the as
sayer's certificate; the piece of float
rock gave returns of $3.50 in gold to
the ton.
Next morning Womack and Lowe
went to the place where Bob found
the rock, in what is known now as
Poverty Gulch, just outside the limits
of the present town of Cripple Creek.
Lowe grew tired of the search; Bob
persisted. In January, 1901, he dug a
prospect hold in what is now known
as the Ell Paso lode of the Gold King
property. A few days later he struck
bonanza lode.
He could not stand prosperity Com
ing here, he went on a spree and sold
his bonanza for $500. Then, crazed
! with drink and success, Bob jumped
on his bronco and rode through the
streets brandishing his six-shooter and
proclaiming his secret. The next
few days witnessed one of the big.
! gest rushes to the scene of his discov-
cry that the West has ever known.
{ When Womack sobered up. two or
three days later, he returned to the
district only to find that the best min.
ing property had been located by
others. He staked out claim or two
but they proved worthless, and soon
he was compelled to go to work for
days wages. But he never COM
planned.

out of Cripple Creek mines were Jas.

SUN FRANKS.
Irregularities For Which Science
Cannot Altogether Account.

Irregularities For Which Science
Cannot Altogether Account.
The sun is generally looked upon
as a model of regularity which never
fails in it's duty, but the ancient his
torians mention several instances
when it failed to give forth its usual
amount of heat and light for periods
varying from three hours to several
months. Data on the subject have
been compiled by the St. Louis Re-
public.
According to Plutarch, the year
"A B. G. was one in which the sun
was weak and pale" for period
approximating eleven months.
The Portuguese historians record
several months of diminished sun
light in the year 934 A. D., and, ac-
cording to Humboldt, this uncanny
period ended with strange and
startling sky phenomena, such as
loud atmospheric explosions, riffs in
the vaulted canopy of blue above
and in divers other rare and unac-
countable freaks"
In the year 1891, on Sept. 29 (see
Humboldt's "Cosmos"), the sun
turned suddenly black and remained
so for three hours and did not re-
gain it's normal condition for several
days.
According to the noted Helmuth' 8
Solar Energy" the days of seeming
inactivity on the part of the sun (the
days following the sudden blacken-
ing of the great orb) were noted for
a peculiar greenish tinge and are
marked in old Spanish, French and
| Italian records as 1.-The days of the
green SUM-"
February, 1106 A. D., is noted in
the annals of marvellous phenomena
as month in which there were sew
! eral days that "the sun appeared
dead and black, like a great circular
cinder floating in the sky"
"On the last day of February,
1906" says an old Spanish writer
on astronomy, astrology and kind
red subjects, 'the sun appeared
suddenly tc go out, causing a dark
ness over the country for about six
hours" In 1241 the European coun-
tries experienced another siege of
supernatural darkness, which the
superstitious writer's of that time
attributed to Gods displeasure over
| the result of the great battle of
Liegnitz.
Even to-day there are certain
Irregularities of the sun that science
cannot altogether account for. These
are the so called sun spots-enorm-
Gus dark splotches which appear from
time to time on the solar disk and
which are supposed to have great
influence on the atmospheric condi-
tions of the earth. Scientists have
long studied these phenomena, but
neither their extent nor periodicity
has ever been determined.
