TOYED WITH DEATH.
Among Automobiles Most Daring
Were De Palma and Brown.

New York, Dec. s.-The season of
1910 has been a remarkable one in
the automobile field on account of
the many who have been killed and
injured and the hosts of drivers and
machinists who have escaped by the
narrowest margin. Ralph De Palma's
recent experience, when he was all but
killed, Louis Chevrolet's accident,
which has incapacitated him for driv-
ing during the latter part of the sea-
son, both draw attention to the men
who toy with death constantly in their
profession.
Before the Vanderbilt race and also
before the Grand Prize race at Savan-
nah, banquets were held in which the
machinists drank their famous toast,
Here's to the next to die" At these
banquets it is reported that each ma
chinist Clipped in a certain amount
to be devoted to the widows and family
of any machinist killed.
Among the drivers who have most
frequently toyed with death is Bruce
Brown, the New York boy, who only a
short time ago ran away from his
home to become an automobile driver,
and who this year won the grand prize
race at Savannah. De Palma is also
known as a daring driver and has
escaped death by a hairs breadth
many times.

A WAR TIME ROMANCE.
KANSAS Widow Claims Estate of a
Chicago Bachelor"

Chicago, Dec. "a war time ro-
nance, q marriage, enlistment and de-
sertion from the army and separa-
ton from his bride are undisclosed
chapters of the life, of Edward Har-
vey, a Chicago coal merchant. who
died in September. His will has just
been filed for probate.
A Kansas widow, Mrs. Elma Harvey
Hupp of wichita. the sweetheart of
Harvey's youth, is unfolding the hid

Soon afteward her husband erGsted in
an Illinois regiment and their separa-
ton followed. In 1857 she was mar
ried to a man named H1pp in Knox
county. ohio. Hupp died eight years
ago and his estate was settled on her
as his widow. Now Mrs. Hupp asserts
she never was divorced from her first
husband and demands share OF his
estate.
A. b. Williams, attorney for the es-
tate. while denying the Widows right
to any of the late coal mans estate,
makes. no denial of her story. Army
records show that Harvey deserted his
regiment in 1853, and after coming to
Chicago in 1865. took the name OF
Harvey.
During his residence OF forty-five
wears in Chicago, Harvey was supposed
to be a bachelor, even by his nearest
friends, and in his will he makes no
mention of having been married.
William P. Behen, executor of the
Harvey estate, said he had known a
vague rt1rnor of his uncfe'6 marriage.

big EIGHT" WORKING.
Faculty Representatives of Western
colleges Meeting in Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 3.-Faculty representa-
tives of the big Eight colleges are
due to stir up the western football stu
alton and pass important laws looking
to the future stability of the conference
body when they held their annual meet
ings here today.
With the problems centering around
Minnesota and Michigan up for consid-
Grafton the gathering promises to be
the most interesting since the famous
reform period of 1906.
The big question for the conference
concerns the outcome of the recent dis
turbances over the football relations of
Minnesota and Michigan. That Mime
sofa is likely to receive some sort of
reprimand for playing the Ann Arbor
university last year and this year is
admitted by big Eight officials. No
action toward Michigan's readmission
to the conference is expected.

NO BASE BALL
IN MARTMSBURG
Chances are That Sport in This Sec
ton Will Not Receive Much
Attention This Summer.

The chances OF this city being rep
resented by a professional base ball
team this season seems to be slight.
The time of the year for the national
sport is advancing, and as yet no def
mite action seems to have been taken
to organize a team and secure games,
and not even mentioned.
Parties in Frederick and Hagers-
town. who were influential in base ball
circles last season, were communicate
ed with by telephone and the situation
in this city seems to be almost the
identical situation in both of those
places. Then, too, Winchester will
probably not be represented, and 1t
is understood that many r of the
opinion that il a fast team was secur-
ed games could not be scheduled to
make the contests equally exciting.

Thomas, commanding the Depart ment of the Colorado, performed the survey work on these properties for the patent right.
 It seems rather significant that so many years should elapse to solve the problem of the value these proper ties have had stored away, but the late work is due to the fact that this is the first opportunity that has been afforded them to reach great depth on economical lines of oper- atiOn, and within the limits of the capital on hand. In the early days the old War Eagle was rich in free ores, on the surface, but when the sulphide character came in, further effort to handle the product was abandoned through inability to treat the same in milling facilities
