will be back in England before long,
and that, despite rumors to the con-
trary. he will almost certainly meet
Sam Langford, and in this country,
too. Tommy might have been with US
next month (and may be even noW).
He had a scheme for bringing over a
Maori Northern Union football team,
AMI cabled Mr.. viii, the editor Of the
Sporting Life, to open negotiations
with the big northern clubs, feeling
confident that if Mr.. viii could not
fix things up, the deal would be i'm
possible. 1t is pity that Tommy did
not cable earlier, for the clubs had
practically arranged their programs
We should be only too glad to well
come Tommy in any capacity, but as
a football player or football manager
he would have been doubly interest
ing. None of us can forget that the
present popularity Of the noble art
dates from his visit to these shores
two years ago, and that not only boxers
themselves but all interested in the
snort owe him a deep debt of graft
tude. He set boxers an example which
many of them have been slow to fol-
low
It is a time-worn adage In baseball
that pitchers can't and don't hit, The
game between San Francisco and Oak
land yesterday would seem to em-
phasIze this statement, since in
swatting fest the only men who failed to
get a hit We're the four pitchers, two
used by each team. But the Coast
league furnishes several striking ex-
ceptions to this rule this season. Coy
of Vernon and Graney of Portland,
both bender artists, are striking eX-
amples. Coy has been the pinch hit
ter of the Vernon line all year. Gra-
ney, after he was taken from the box
list and placed in outfield. became a
hitting star, frequently pounding in
the runs which won for his team. Hosp
of Los Angeles and Stoval of Vernon
have been hitting the ball well this

ACCIDENTALLY KILLED
Shot Himself Last Sunday While

Received the Charge From Both Barrels
of His Shot Gun, Causing
Immediate Death.

Bernard Voglesburg. aged IS, q
resident of British Hollow, which has
been his home all his life, was ac-
cidentally shot while hunting last
Sunday. and died almost instantly.
Bernard, with his father and broth
er, had been working in a mine
near 'Toadville, - between Platte
Vile and Cornelia, and they were
with him when the sad fatality oc-
CURED. They were hunting rabbits
not far from the mine and Bernard
had climbed upon a stump to get q
better view. It is presumed that he
either slipped or lost his balance, and
both hammers of the gun struck upon
the stump. Both barrels of the gun
were discharged and both loads of
shot entered the young mans body
tearing a great hole therein. just
below his lungs. His father and
brother heard the shot and reached
his side only a moment later but he
was dead when they got to him.
The funeral will be held at st.

" ierd. 1t was entirely different from
the Igorrote dance which l wrote you
of while I was in Bagio. First
a child danced, the foot movement
was practically nothing, but the arm
movements made up fer it. | judge
it was the model from which "Salome"
was taken, but with the American
stage managers love of Shiny points
left out
We were next treated to a North
Borneo war dance, very active and
almost funny. A warrior, IAN old
pirate who has doubtless fought many
men, not natives. did this stunt.
The natives did not applaud by
grunts, as the Igorrotes do, but by u
series of the worst ar-splitting
screeches I ever heard.
Then the old women executed a
dance very similar to the one the kid
did.
The music for the dances was
furnished by a drum, with a dried
skin for head, and agongs, which
are q series of queer shaped gongs.
which women squatted on the ground,
beat with much gusto.
The finest Mohammedan temple
from Celebes to Borneo is on this

It is entirely open. the roof having
been torn off by the winds, the pillars
or corner posts leaning out of place.
the floor a lot of rotten plank, yet the
carving is simply wonderful. and the
wood, being all tropical hard wood,
would be considered of great value in
the states.
There is also Mohammedan ceme-
terry at this place. The graves are
built up of sand and rock and carved
wood. heaped together without rhyme
or reason in their structure, but odd
and strange enough attract crowd of

and raced back home. making seven

ABOUT FIFTY YEARS
Some Events of Civil War Days RecaledStrring Times
in Potosi With Southern Sympathizers--How Billy
Richards Got His Title of Captain.
BY HERMAN BUOHNER

the people in Potosi. A vigilance
committee was formed; suspicion
pointed to a German named Baum
gartner. The vigilance committee sent
him word that his presence was not
agreeable to the people and gave him
orders to leave the county. He left
before the time expired. In a few
days the news spread around Potosi,
that Baumgartner' friends had urged
him to return and that he and his
friends were on the island The
vigilantes burriedly assembled, fully
armed and elected Uncle Billie
Richards their captain. They marched
to the island where Baumgartner and
his friends had assembled When the
TWO parties met Richards told the
opposition to take Baumgartner across
the river Immediately, which they
refused to do. He then got his men
into line with guns cooked and point
ed at the opposite force ready for a
fight He took out his watch and
told them emphatically that he would
give the Baumgartner crew just five
minutes to move across the river. AS
the minutes passed he counted one,
two, three, four. before he could
count FIVE friend of Baumgartner s
took him by the arm and said to him
"let us go" and they went rapidly
it is not known that he returned ;
since that time it was Capt. Billie
Richards" But that was not the end
of this episode. In less than week
news was brought to Potosi that a
whole army of Baumgartner friends
armed with rifles and SHOT guns were
approaching to clean out Potosi This
report rapidly spread in the neighbor-
hood Under Capt. Billy Richards
direction every available man that
could be mustered was enlisted for
the defense of Potosi. An old cannon
that had been used many times to
usher in the Fourth of July was load
ed with powder and nails and other
shrapnel. Tho cannon was placed IN
front of the old store ''112"; which
years ago had been run by Mr.. Angus
tine surrounded by the vigilantes
the gun was trained up Galena hill
to resist the approaching the enemy.
The position was stragetic; by turn
ing the gun the range would COM
mand three possible points of attack.
There was great excitement, but after
long waiting scouts reported that
there was no enemy approaching and
that some one had started the story
just for. fun. Captain Billie Richards
dismissed his company of vigilantes
with the orders to assemble when
notified. The company has not been
called into action since.
