J.F. TRICE BADLY HURT
Kicked on Face by Base Runner in
Ball Game at Cherokee, Produc=
ing Conclusion of Brain.
Taken to Hospital

J. F. Tree is in critical condition In
ST. Francis hospital, Wichita, as result
OF an accident in the CheroAes-Medicine
Lodge base ball game at Cherokee on
Sunday He was hurt on first base by
Cherokee base runner. The runf.er,
in returning to his base, to save himself,
made leap and kicked Mr.. Trice on
the face, striking him with his shoe on
the cheek bone near the eye. The blow
rendered Mr.. Trice unconscious AMI he
went into spasms several times. DR..
Gilbert Of this city vino was on the ball
grounds, administered stimulants and re-
vived him temporarily and he rallied for
an hour or two but when he was put on
the train to come home he became much
worse and at kiowa his condition be-
came very critical. His heart action was
impeded and it was feared that he would
not recover. Heroic treatment, however,
renewed good heart action after it had
stopped several minutes.
On Monday morning he was taken
to Wichita by Dr.. Gilbert, H. D. Fair
and his father, 7. H. Tree, and up to
this hour there is no report of change
for the better.
A thorough examination at the hospi-
tai revealed an injury in the head and a
more serious internal injury in the side.
A phone message late Monday night
stated that he had gotten worse and that
nothing would be undertaken until the
following day when surgical operation
on the side would be performed.
AT noon yesterday Guilford Davis
phored that Jack improved very much
during the night and it was then thought
that an operation may not be necessary
which was better news than expected.
Those who saw the accident say that
the base runner attempted to strike Jack
on the arm in the hope of knocking the
ball out Of his hand but kicked him In the
face instead. If this is true, it is inde-
fensible and the Cherokee man should
be prosecuted. A base ball player who
purposely attempts to injure another play
er should not be permitted to enter a
game.
MIR. Trees friends sincerely hope for
his recovery.

Cherokee Won 1t
Secretary.

The base ball game between Chero-
kee and Medicine Lodge. played at
Cherokee Sunday, resulted in victory
for Cherokee. 6 to 5. Up to the
time Jack Tnce was hurt the Medicine
Lodge team had the game won but the
taking out Of Jack. who is one Of the
strong men. and the lack Of enthusiasm
which followed. gave Cherokee the VIC
tory. Jack was hurt in the seventh IN
ming.
The base runner who hurt Jack in
tended to kick him on the arm instead Of
the face but it is rotten" ball neverthe-
less. Outside Of this instance, however,
the Cherokee boys played decentIy.
But for this uncalled-for accident. it was
one Of the best games played by the
League this season.

Suit For Medical Services

A suit between DR.. Donovan and
Charley Dehiech was tried in Justice
Collins'ss court last Thursday, which de-
veloped few close legal propositions.
Dr.. Donovan attended the defendant
while he had the small pox in the county
pest house, charging him with l9 trips at
81 trip. At the time, Dr.. Donovan
was county health officer and attended
to enforcing quarantine regulations, and
it IS claimed by Detriech and his Atom
ey, Samuel Griffin, that DR.. Donovan
was obliged to treat inmates in the pest
house, as county health officer, and that
individuals so treated are not liable. D..
Donovan and his attorney, J. N. Tinc;aer.
hold that his duties as health officer be-
gin and end at attending to enforcing the
quarantine laws, and that patients who
accept his treatment are liable for pay
ment for services rendered, unless it is
shown that the patient was a pauper un-
able to perform labor.
Judge Collins found for Dr. Donovan
in the sum Of $38 and costs and Deuiech
gave notice Of an appeal to the district
court.
A suit Of a similar character was
brought by Dr.. Donovan against Frank
Foss. In this case change of venue
was taken to Justice Tedrow.
The statute in regard to this matter is
not complete and there is roo for con-
struction as to what the whole duty Of
county health officer is, and if it should
finally be held that he must treat all con-
tagious diseases IN the county, whether
the patients are paupers or not, for
the small salary Of $40 per month, or
whatever the contract price happens to
be, there will either be no health officer
or else the salary will have to be raised
to something like the $4,000 mark.

Lodge Man Saved Him

medicIne Lodge Man Saved Him
We have just been reading The ro-
mantle story Of the rise Of the blind sena-
atcr from Oklahoma, Thomas Gore.
Gore was born in poverty down south
and lost the sight of both eyes in boy
hood. With this handicap he became
possessed Of al ambition to be United
States senator. He was gifted with a
singular power of -oratory but we Judge
has never shown much ability to make
money. At any rate if the story that is
written about him is true he started his
race tor the nomination for senator In the
deepest poverty. His two opponents
were rich and they were letting go Of
their money a, if it were made Of leaves
ard they the owners of boundless for
est. We talked with one o. the mana
gers Of one o. the senatorial candidates
and he informed us that his candid lte
would spend not less than 100000 be-
tore his campaign was ended. Incident
ally we might remark that the 100000
didn't win him the nomination.
Gore managed to mortgage his proper
ty in Lawton. for $1,000. On this
small amount he had to live and pay his
campaign expenses. 1t is said that he
subsisted on single meal day during
good part Of that campaign and frequent
ly sat,up all night in order to save the
expense Of bed. In spite of his rigid
economy however, his money was gone
before the campaign ended. He had to
put up $3.50 to get his name on the pri-
mary ballot and he lacked the money.
AS a last desperate resort he put up his
check, althoue Oh he hadn't the money to
back it and as the story goes man by
the name Of Yonng stood good for it.
This was, we think. young lawyer by
the name Of John Young, who was
raised in the town Of Medi-ine Lodge,
of republican parentage but who became
democrat after going to Oklahoma.
But John Young wasn't the only
Medicine Lodge angel that came to the
blind mans relief. One day when his
money was gone, when it appeared that
after all his desperate struggle and self
deprivation he would have to give up,
he was standing on the streets of Law
tJn wondering what he could do, when
he felt some one touch him and slip a
roll Of money into his hand and as the
giver whispered in his ear, pay this
back when you can. The good angel
was Tom Dunn, a republican banker,
formerly a lumberman at Medicine
Lodge. karsas. The generous gift of
the political opponent saved Gore and
enabled him to continue his race for the
senate.
We have no doubt that Gore will
agree with the words of Garfield that the
fairest flowers that grow in friendship $
garden are those that Chamber over the
dividing walls Of partisan politics. And
we are glad that it was a Medicine
Lodge republican who gave the money.
