Two honest strikes had been put over when one high aud wide sailed in, which should have been third ball. Hoschell was hit by one of Rube's wide ones. and Corr was sent in to run for him.

CAUGHT IN PASSING

The train crew on No. 3. headed by the veteran conductor. Tom Purcell, stood around the ticket window in the depot at Benson and listened to little Mexican woman tell with tear ful voice the loss of her pocket book. As she related the loss of four rail road tickets and $50 in money, 1t developed that the accident had oc- cured on the train which had just arrived in Benson from Douglas. The Mexican woman and three children were enroute from Douglas to Phoe- nix The tickets and money had been entrusted to the nineteen-year-old son for safe keeping. with the result that when he searched himself at Benson the little family was devoid of trans portation and funds.
 Tom Purcell furnished the s. P. agent at Benson with the number of the lost tickets, taken from his coupons. and arrangements were made to secure the little Mexican family transportation to Phoenix.
 At 1:40 No. pulled out of Benson on the return trip to Douglas. Just this side of Laird station the engi- .neer .spied two tramps walking beside the track. He thought he saw them with a black object in their hands. rl-f,, 4r,g,, woo e+,,.,ro5 o,5 1o,l,od down the track. A local passenger was sworn in as an officer and with Tom Purcell the tramps were halted. The pocket book was found in their possession together with the railroad tickets, but the money was gone. The The three individuals of the cross ties were each in their trurn searched but nothing was found After a hur- ried look along the track Purcell gave the engineer the high bail and No, 3 and passengers were speeding towards Naco after lay out of ten minutes. The pocket book and tickets were sent back to the Mexican woman at Benson from Fairbanks.
 Perhaps the Mexican boy was touched" for his money on the train going to Benson and the purse thrown through the car window to avoid deetection. Maybe the story the tramps told that the purse con tained no money when they found 1t, was true. Give the devil his due.

A good one is told by "Babe" Thompson, one of the pioneer cow boys of the good old days. Babe" is said to have looqed out for himself in those days and now is able to travel about and visit old-timers throughout the territory without be- ing inconvenienced in a nancial way. The last time in Bisbee he contribut- something as follows:
 ed his mite in a tale-telling match
 Did you ever see a picture of the first jail in, Phoenix? No, I guess not, nor anybody else, owing to the simple fact that there wasn't any. In lieu of it when the officers got an of fender he was given a blanket taken outside of the then village to a grove Of mesquite trees-anywhere, it didn't matter, so long as there was a clump of trees-a chain was fastened about his wrist, a staple driven into tree, the blanket spread out on the ground and that constituted his prison cell, where he would await examination. Food was of course brought to him.
 "The friends of prisoners used to have great fun assaulting the jail and rescuing their pals. As no officer stood guard it was easy. The jail breaking was done with an axe gen erally, if the staple was driven in too deep to be pried out easy.
 Well, here's the story. I happened to get arrested one night. I'd been ont visiting around and neglected to call upon the jail. I was escorted there. It was at night, and about half an hour after I'd been staked out some of my friends came out with a crowbar and an axe. I insisted on directing operations. First had them cut down the tree just above where the staple was driven in. As it fell they tended it of with long pole so it fell the right way. Then they hewed their way through the timber just underneath tn staple. That left a piece of timber about a foot long with the chain and myself attached I picked up the jail, hoist ed it on my shoulder and started for town to show it to the cops"
 The other end of the tale is that Babe" paraded into town with his friends following, and proceeded to call upon every damp goods dispenser in Phoenix. Finally he met the officer wnaoheralylo'vude E ETAOI. ..... who had "jugged" him, and with a remark something about his blink ety blanked old jail" he let the piece of timber drop so quickly that the cop narrowly missed a bruised pair Of pedal extremities to say nothing of their corn attachments. Sentence was suspended on the spot.

There was two base hit Cobb; home run, Cobb; stolen bases, Cobb. That's what we get back home every day. Glad Douglas can enjoy some of it, too" It is needless to say that he must have been from the town where Paul Cobb's brother Ty holds down the right garden for a bunch of yellow and black striped pennant chasers. But it is said that Brother Paul hates nothing worse than to be connected with his ia. nous brother. "Let me make good m my own reputation" is his slogan.

.REYOLVERS SAVE
LIVES OF WOMEN
Police, at Fire, Threaten TO
Shoot Any Who Jump
From Windows.

NEW YORK, Nov. 16.-By firing many
shots into the air and threatening to
shoot the first man or woman who
jumped, the New York police today
adopted a novel method OF saving life.
Despite the startling methods, two
persons were fatally injured, a third is
missing, and a fourth cut by flying
glass, while seven were overcome BY
smoke in a fire in a fOur-story tene-
ment house in Brooklyn.
The dying are;
Mrs. Blanche McIIune and her -four
months old baby; injured by leapine
from window.
A score of families lived in the doug
tenement. When the smoke began tC
spread through the house, they rushed
TO the windows. Mrs. MCHune, holding
her baby in her arms, leaped.
Others prepared to follow her example
The police drew their revolyers and
threatened to shoot anyone who jumped,
holding the panic-stTicken people in the
burning building until ftremen raised
ladders.

SEARCHED IN TINE
Guards Find Key Capable of
Unlocking Any Cell-Mc-

Take that man into my office; re-
move every stitch Of clothing; and
search him from head TO foot"
That was the order given by Warden
Mckee, of the District jail, when Ed
ward LetChmere. alias Clarendon Henri,
was ushered into the prison here just
after completing a three-year term at
Columbus, Ohio. Today Warden Mckee
is glad he took the precaution.
Hidden about Letchmere's waist and
suspended on a tiny rubber band was
found a small key that would unlock
any paddock in the jail The warden
tried the key and It did the work. Then
Letchmere, who has made an escape or
two in his time and who came near
saving out of the District Jail when
last confined here, was hustled IN the
cell once occupied by Charles Guiteau.

PRINCE EDWARD HAS
THREE HOUSE ASPIRAHTS
Pretty Contest in Prospect Tor the
General Assembly to Succeed
John J. UWen.

Prince Edward county is to have
one of the prettiest contests for many
years when the primary election is
held to name a candidate for the
House of Delegates to succeed John
j. Owen, who has been a member OF
the lower branch Of the General As
sembly for some twelve years. Mr.
Owen stated last year to political
convention in this county that he would
not again accept the nomination for
the House, and so far three gentle
men have announced themselves can
didates for the place. They are W.
H. Ewing, for sixteen years treasurer
of the county, who retired because OF
the condition of his health, and who
is now engaged in farming; W. X.
Brock and J. Taylor Thompson, both
lawyers, and both of whom are resi-
dents of the town of Farmville.
All Of the gentlemen are well known
in the county and pretty race is
] scheduled when they take the stump
and begin to enIiven things by ap-
pealing to the voters for their sup
port. 1t is impossible to get an idea
of the strength of the candidates at
this time.
1t is understood that, in case Judge
Mann is elected governor, Mr.. Owen
will aspire to succeed him in the State
Senate from the district. -Richmonc
News-Leader.
Just two mistakes in the above. Mr.
Brock is known to us as r. X. Brock
and his residence is Hampden-Sidney
though his law office is in Farmvllle.
