CHURCHES OBJECT
TO Fight PICTURES

Grand Forks, N. D., July 1S.-That
there will be no opportunity offered in
Grand Forks to see the pictures of
the recent Jeffries- johnson fiasco at
Reno, New, now seems practically GER
tain. Announcement was made yes
terday that resolutions would be Of
fered at the joint services of the Bap-
tist, Presbyterian and Methodist
churches of this city calling upon Gov
ernor Burke to prevent the showing
OF the fight pictures in the state. That
these resolutions will be unanimously
adopted Is certain. Governor Burke
has already signified his intention Of
taking such action If it is within the
law.
Not only are the churches interest
ing themselves in the movement, but
it is expected that at the next council
meeting an ordinance will be passed
covering the showing of certain
classes of moving pictures In Grand
Forks and prize fight pictures are in
cluded in the undesirables.

DEATH
FROM GAS in WELL
OVERCOME BY GAS IN WELL
WHILE BEING HoIsTED AND
FELL TO THE BOTTOM
WHERE HE LAY ...
( AN HOUR.

Park River, July 13.--Nicholas Ger
gen well known well digger and resi-
dent of Park River for many years, lost
his life last Friday afternoon by falling
from a bucket to the bottom Of well
he had been digging on the farm Of G.
d. Lord, southwest Of town, dying from
gas asphyxiation. He was being hoist
ed up and when within short distance
Of the top was overcome by the gas
which caused him TO lose his balance. al
Mr.. Gergen had been at work on the
we'll for several days and on Monday
of last week had discovered the first
traces of gas. When he came up it was
noticed the foul air had affected him
and Mr.. O'Brien, manager Of the farm
persuaded him to take good rest and
not descend again into the well until
the gas disappeared. Friday morning
Mr.. Gergen decided the conditions
were satisfactory, although Mr.. O'Brien
had tested the air by lowering a light
ed lantern and found that gas was still
present. In the afternoon, however,
he decided to descend and finish the job
as he was only about four feet from
the water level.
He had not gone down more than
fifteen or twenty feet when he ordered
to be hauled UP again. Taking the
tools out Of the bucket he told the men
at the windlass to lower him down as
he wanted to explore the bottom. He
had not been there long when sig
nailed to be hoisted up. When about
fifteen feet from the top the men at
the windlass felt a sudden tightening
of the load and Mr.. O'Brien who was at
one end Of the windlass, leaned over
the edge of the we'll and saw the body
Of Mr.. Gergen lying at the bottom.
Mr.. Gergen was overcome by the poi
sOnous fumes and had plunged to the
bottom forty feet below.
Assistance was Immediately sum-
moned to help rescue Gergen, but 1t
was nearly an hour before he was
brought up. The work of securing the
body with a rope was difficult at the
great depth. DR.. Waugh had been
summoned and was present when the
body was recovered. An examination
dis closed that death had ensued some
time previous. No injury was appar-
emily sustained in the fall as there were
no marks on the body except q super
fetal bruise on the head.
The accident is a most deplorable one
and could probably have been avoided
If better precautions for safety had
been taken by the unfortunate man.
Mr.. O'Brien foresaw the danger in the
undertaking and provided belt for
him by which he could secure himself
to the cable, but the use of it was de-
clined by Mr.. Gergen.
The county coroner examined the re-
mains and decided that an inquest was
not necessary.
A widow and eight children survive
the deceased.

FIGHTER WINS IN
BASE BALL"-CY YOUNG

CLEVELAND. August ICY Young.
the grand old man of base ball, has decided
views upon the way a big league team
should be run. Cy has been in the game
long enough to have a pretty fair inkiing
of what inside base ball is by this time,
and whenever the oracle Of Paoli talks
fandom usually listens.
A few years ago, 1t may be remembered.
Cy managed the Boston team for q few
days. Cy held the job for something over
forty-eight hours. The chief reason that
he did not cling to it was that he could
not see any decided advantage in pitch
ing and managing, too. The grand old
man felt that he could manage the team,
IL necessary, and hold his own at the
twirling job, too. But he did not feel
like combining the two trades. He pre-
ferred to maintain his identity as a
pitcher.
cit does not take a brainy man to run
a ball team says Young. you'll hear
a lot Of stuff handed out about the in
side base ball knowledge that such and
such a manager is supposed to possess.
But base ball is not such a complicated
game that the ordinary manager does
not understand Pretty nearly all the
wrinkles.

PHILADELPHIA, August 11.-Foilow-

eighteen new players to be drafted for
the Phillies and he hopes to get a ma
jority of them.
I'VE will certainly have plenty Of pitch
ing material, of which we are shy just
now, after next week. said President
Fogel after he had forwarded q bulky
envelope containing the list OF players
claimed and checks to pay for their re-
leases. to Secretary Bruce.
Some of the men will report imme-
diately after the options go into effect
August 30. and the rest will be here
about September 1. We are after a
pennant-winning team and propose to put
one together this fall for 1911, SO that We
won't have to lose ground next spring by
experimenting, as was the case this year.
At that, think We would lead the race
today If our pitchers had come up to ex-
pectaticns.
Last spring 1t looked as IL we had
about a dozen first class twirlers. Later
developments showed that we had only
about four, and some of them disappoint-
ed us by not being in first class condi-
ton
Fogel and Doom expect to get a corps
OF six twiriers who can win games and
keep in condition. They blame the pres
emf position Of the Phillies in the race
almost entirely upon the pitchers, al
though Fogel declares that three Of the
umpires cost them some games arr
