SPEAKS HIGHLY Of
COMING PASTOR

The Daily Herald, of Litchtield, IL
1inois in which city Rev j. H. Mus
selman, who has just accepted call
TO the Pine Street Lutheran church, of
Danyille. has been located for the past
four years, speaks i'll the following
glowing terms of the man who is soon
to come here:
''The religious circles of the city
were greatly surprised this morning
when it became known that Rev. j.
II. Musselman yesterday rendered his
resignation as pastor of the English
Lutheran church, the same to take et-
feet October "a, that being the day he
is to give his farewell sermon.
THE announcement comes as shock
to the congregation, it being known
that their pastor had received five
different calls during his four years
here and that he had refused to accept
any of them.
THE resignation has not been ac-
cepted and the congregation will hold
a business meeting after the regular
church service next Sunday morning
at which time it is said that the wishes
of the pastor will be granted. The re-
signation was rendered during the
morning service yesterday and was the
cause of pathetic scenes. Those i'll at
tendance at the service were unpre-
pared for the announcement and the
members became visibly affected.
Mr.. Musselman says that he has
accepted call to the Lutheran church
at Danville, Penn. and that he begins
his new work ON November /.
Litchfieldians will be sorry to lose
Rev. and Mrs. Musselman. They came
to Litchfeld January /, 1905, and have
been identified with every forward
movement of the city. Mr. Musselman
Eprang into popularity almost inn
mediately and is now probably the
most popular Protestant minister i'll
the city. For the past three wears he
has acted as platform manager of the
Litchfield- Hillsboro chautauqua,
position he has filled with much cred
it. He has also been identified in local
Masonic circles. As minister speak
er, toastmaster and general allround
dispenser of good fellowship Mr.. Mus
selman had but few equals in this
community and he will be greatly
missed. -

BURGLARS COOL.
HEADED ACT

! 4 bold and nearly successful attempt
to rob Fallon's establishment, Mill
street, was made Tuesday morning,
the burglar, who had already entered
the store, being surprised by Night
Watchman Byerly while in the act of
taking the cash register apart.
The night watchman was making his
round when he detected some one i'll
the store 1t was about 3 O'Clock in the
morning and although the hour was
very early Mr.. Byerly's impression was
that it was Mr.. Fallon himself prepar-
ing for the days business Trying the
front door he found it open and he
stepped inside, remarking that 1t was
an early hour to begin business.
At his juncture the man who was
working at the cash register in the
center of the store dropped to a stoop-
ing posture and very effectually CON
cealed by the counters made n dash for
the rear end of the store. The night
watchman at once took in the situa-
tion and ran after the fellow. The bur
glar ON reaching the rear end of the
store and finding that he was pursued
quickly turned and dashed out of the
front door with the watchman in pur
suit. The burglar however, got the
start of the night watchman and sue
ceeded i'll making his escape.
The proprietor of the store was noti-
fed. An investigation showed that the
burglar had forced an entrance through
"a window ON the side of the building
next to the d. L. q W. track, opening
into the apartment at the rear of the
store. 4 wire screen that protected the
building on the outside was partially
removed and the lower sash was fore
ed up about three-fourths of its height
The window was also protected by
horizontal iron bars securely fastened
to the window frame. These were bent
showing where the burglar who must
have been person of small girth, had
crawled through.
The National cash register used at
Fallon's S defed the ingenuity of the
burglar Baffled in an attempt to mas
ter the combination he began to take
the cash register apart and had sue
ceeded i'll removing some eight or ten
screws when he was surprised by the
night watchman. Had he succeeded he
would have made very good haul as
the entire proceeds of Mondays bust
ness was in the register.
The burglar was working in dim
light thrown from an electric light
bulb overhead Mr.. Byerly has very
fair idea of the mans appearance and
describes him as person of small
stature wearing a derby hat. This de-
scription tallies with the appearance
of one of two men, strangers, who We're
observed by Mr.. Fallon lettering about
the d. l.. & w. crossing on Monday.

CHAMPIONS WIN
FROM ALL STARS
Continued from 1st Page.

it was only matter of time until one
of the brown suited warriors should
cross the plate.
In the tenth Thomas reached first on
Splain's error of bad bouncer, but
was caught stealing second Mackert
struck out and Dooley's pretty hit be-
tween left and center was wasted when
Metzler's foul fly was nailed by Pat
terson.
In the eleventh Hess drew pass,
and circled to third on Lvengood's s
sacrifice, but was caught stealing home
while Umlauf was striking out
The twelfth, which passed with two
strike outs and fly to center, produc-
ed nothing that made noise like a
score; the crowd was getting a case of
the nerves and the foot ball PLAYERS
were wondering if they could play
their game by moonlight. But every
body knew that things would have to
break sOon-it was a survival of the
fittest and Danville was coming down
the home stretch little stronger than
the All Stars.
In the thirteenth Mackert got first
when his grounder went through ASH
legs. The Danville left fielder then
stole second and reached third on a
passed ball, but was caught stealing
home, while Dooley struck out and
Metzler flied out to Gerringer
The fourteenth opened badly when
Hess struck out, but took on a more
interesting look when Livengond sing
led to right He was caught minute
later on Umlauf's fielders' choice.
Then while Beard was getting a pres
ent of base on balls Umlauf stole
second and third and when Covleskie's
drive was juggled for a second by Ash.
Buck sunk his spikes into the pan
with the winning run, and the crowd
surged down on the field to shake
hands with the players.

RICH W|NDFALL ORE At DEPTH
Drift Run at 225 Level Opens UT
Four Foot Face of Good
Shipping Ore

Supt. O. T. Weidman Of the Eureka
Windfall Mining Company informed
the SENTINEL Wednesday evening that
the new double compartment shaft Of
the Windfall had attained a depth Of
242 feet, and his present shaft force was
making unusually good progress. They
have been able to put in a square set OF
timbers every "a hours, which means
chat the three eight-hour shifts are
sinking at tho rate Of five feet -four
inches, the shaft being timbered and al
completed as 1t progresses.
At q depth Of 225 feet in the shaft .
station was cut. and the formation
looked so encouraging that the superin-
tendent concluded to run Q drift on it,
and at a distance of 30 feet opened up a
body Of good shipping ore that is now
Jour feet across its face. This shows
that good ore is found at depth in
the Windfall mine, and with the
large bodies already blocked put at and
near the surface. this mine gives every
promise of developing ipto n Of the
most valuable mining properties ever
opened up in this district.

SERIOUS COASTING ACCIDENT
l. J. PAIGE Breaks His Leg and Serious
Complications Result

~onnta~8Aou1 EG11t&
While coasiing on Clark street hill
Friday night Of last week. Leonard J..
PAIGE. foreman Of the SENTINEL, met
with an accident which resulted in
the breaking Of the big bone Of his
right leg about six inches above the
ankle. On the evening stated Mr..
PAIGE and young Dan Nostrosa started
down the hill on their sleds from the
Eureka school house. The two sleds
we're coupled together. Nostrosa being
In the lead and doing the steering. and
PAIGE sitting on the rear sled.
On reaching CLARK street. where the
turn is made to come down the hill, the
coupling broke. At the time the two
sleds were going at full speed. Nos
trosa continued down Clark street,
while PAIGE went down the street in
the rear of DR.. W. +. Burnett's resi-.
dence on Mob Hill. In the rear Of the
doctors house is q fence. and the sled
on which Mr.. PAIGE was riding was
heading directly for 1t. On reaching
the obstruction, and in an endeavor to
prevent being hurled against it, he put
forth his right foot. which coming in
contact with the fence with tremendous
force broke his leg.
As soon as the serious nature Of the
accident became known q number Of
friends conveyed the injured man to
the Hotel Zadow. and q physician was
Immediately summoned.
While Mr.. PAIGE suffered considerable
pain Friday night from the effects of
his injured leg, still he was thought to
be getting along as well as could be ex-
pected under the circumstances. Satur.
day forenoon about II 80 his mind be-
gan to wander and he passed into a
stupor. finally becoming speeches..
Monday, Doctors w. +. Burnett. l..
II. Francis and G.. NJ. Roberts held a
consultation over the case and decided
on a course of treatment. Wednesday
Mr.. Paice's condition improved and he
apparently seemed to recognize those
ut his bedside and appeared to know
what was being said or done. but his
power Of speech was almost entirely
suspended, and he has since remained
in about this condition.
The doctors have diagnosed the
patients present trouble to be due to
an insufficient flow Of blood to the
brain.
Mr.. PAIGE is a young man Of strong
constitution and good habits. and his
numerous friends here entertain great
hopes that be will be able to pass
through the present crisis and regain
his former health.

D. l. Lambert Dies at Sacramento

A private letter was received in Eu-
reka this week from Mrs. d. l.. Lam
bert at Sacramento, California, an-
nouncing the death Of her husband in
that city on January /. 1909. The de-
ceased came to Eureka early last Fall
and for a time was in the employ Of the
Richmond. Eureka Company on Ruby
Hill. Before leaving here about Octo-
Der Is he was employed by Peter Lob
in driving the freight truck. Up to
the time the letter was received from
his wife his whereabouts were IN.
known. and as he left here suddenly it
was believed by many that he might
have been foully dealt with. The
letter received made no mention of the
cause of death or other details regard
ing his demise.
