Falling three hundred feet down a mine shaft to his destruction is the horrible death that befell Al Sperry of Bisbee, the accident occurring Monday afternoon al Ccurtland.
 Just how the unfortunate man came to fall down the shaft is not known. However. 1t Is known that when his body was recovered from the shaft. the head had been completely severed from the body, it being the presumption that in it's descent the body struck against a protrudsng stone, she head being thus torn away
 Sperry is well known in Bisbee, having resided in this city for a num- Der of years. The remains will be brought to this city for intermeHt.

BISbEE MAN
 WILL ATTEMPT
 LEAP OF DEATH
To Win An Argument Felix
 Finley Will lump From Top of Either Shattuck or St. Elmo Buildings.

Willing to risk his life to the un.
 statle form Of an umbrella in order
 to win point in~an argument and in- l cidentally 8 ten dollar bet. merely
 shows to what lenth man is wiling
 to go in order to justify foolish and | foo hardy remark made in a joke, with no idea of the results or con i sequences.
 To particularize. the above rather vague and indsfin.te statement, is relevant and material to a wager | made recently between Eel x Finley 1 and Mat Dillon, both well known res.- dents of th's city.
 During the course of a conversation between the two men few days ago, Finley remarked that at some time. ..., his lie. during the halcyon days e youth, he had been a bal oonist and parachute expert. and had often rsk- | cd h S life in parachute drop. In fact, so daring had he been that cnce or twice he had leaped from high buildings with an ordinary umbrella
 n ais grasp only to be waited geatly dawn theeugh the ozone to the bosom
 mothcr earth below
 This statement sounded rather of color to Dillon, and he was not ad- verse to coming forward and saying s2. The result of the doubt in the mind of Dillon was a very heated argument between the two men, .ds upshot of watch was Fin.ey's offer to bet ten dollars that he could jump from the top of either the Shattuok Ior the St. Elmo building to the ground below with only an umbrella in his hand, and would al ght unharned. Dillon after sig ng up the two build lngs in question, either of which is over fifty feet In height at once snap red up the bet
 Under the articles Of agreemsnt, the desperate attempt to win the ten dollar wager was to be made last Sun day afternoon, but nd of the suici dal looling affair reached the police, and the officers at once took steps to step the affair. which in the'r mind would surely result in the death of the dar- -ng Finley.
 Despite the efforts of the police, however. the leap of death VII take D ace just as soon as the two men in- A-AtHltQ It4n Hi4dhE Ol tNE OaiGCI An1A has constantly dogged their footsteps for tl,e past few days.
 Finley Is confident that he can make the leap without meeting with death, and is more than wiling tC make the effort. Dillon on the other hand is pcs't.ve that the jump will b. fatal to Finley. and although Finley is his dearest friend. he needs the ten doilars, and also is des rous that his statement that the leap would be fatal. be proven to the satisfaction Q. fhe public. D Ions only regret is taat he is positive that within ten seconds frcm the time Finley leaves the rocf crf his downward flight, he will be an angel. and will not be here on earth to admit that for once his judgment was wrong.

SHIRT CUFF POSTAL
 CARD THROUGH MAIL
Roy Bodell of This City Sends Unique Communication
 To McAllister Sports

There are no sports in McAllister, Oklahoma" So writes Frank Bartlett of that city to Roy Bodell of Bisbee. the information being contained on the most unique postal card that ever went through the Bisbee postoffsce.
 About two weeks ago Bodell, who formerly lived in McAllister took 8 Rew glossy, and sleekly iron cud, and addressed it to the best sport in Nc Allister, Oklahoma" signing his name to the unusual postal card. On the reverse side Bodell added. together with a few artistic pen and ink dec erations the words that if there were no sports ia McAllister. the cuff was to be laundered and returned to him.
 In some manner the cuff came into the possession of Frank Bartlett, who resides in the Oklahoma city. and true to the instructions written upon t. he had the cUff washed and ironed. and readires~ed to Bodell in Bisbee. While undergoing the cleaning pTo- cess, the pictures and words written upon the cuf by Bcdelh were entirely eliminated. and in their place. Bart lett had written in bold hand, There EIe HB shtilS III FdGAilSktf
 This is rather hard on McAllister, but the man who wrote the informa- tion on the cuff has resided in that city for a number of years and should be thoroughly conversant with the conditions existing there.
 Local postal authorities state that the cuff postal, which was sent out through the local department of Uncle Sans mail system is by all means the most unique and unusual thing of its kind which has ever gone through the local office. Postals of every kind and descriSSion daily go out of th's city to various parts of the United States. but it is safe to say that this is the first time that the lady clerks of the postal department have handled a part of a gentleman's wearing anUarel as a piece of United State NafI

thought-out time schedule. The fact
that the very men with whom he Is
trying to keep up with will probably
fade out of the race before ten miles
are covered, is not for moment con-
sidered. All the youngster thinks of
Is to try and keep with the bunch.
Perhaps the boy wins the race
but at what cost! He has strained
every nerve in his young body, his
heart has done more work than It's
age will stand for without ill-effects
In after years.
How many athletes have died
around about 40 years of age from
heart failure! II man Is mature
in years before he tackles long-dls-
lance running, and then only after
strict training, the harm done does
not amount tn SO much.
For a youth to tackle n 25-mile
run is simply suicidal. The lief
fects may not be felt till after years.
but felt they surely will be.
Boys should content themselves
with much shorter distances, and
even when engaged FOR n mile race
should train hard for the event.
Long-distance walking is not so
harmful, although care should be
taken that youngsters do not oyerdo
1t. The temptation to keep going
until one falls down exhausted IL
very great. Maybe the lad is repre-
sontlng some school or college. and
makes II a charge of honor to keep
going as long as he possibly can. All
that is, quite natural, but the boys
parents should put their veto on long
distance competition for immature
lads.

One of the greatest dangers that a
young athlete can run into without
thinking is that of oyertaxing his
heart in long distance running. Once
runner generally imagines that he is
going much slower than he really Is.
He at once puts on steam and endeav
orr to keep pace with the faster men
who are passing him every minute.
He forgets all his trainers words OF
wisdom and abandons the carefully
