line for the five points that won the
game. With both teams fighting hard
and showing better form than any
two elevens that have met on the local
gridiron this season. IL was a game
well worth seeing. After the first
quarter ii was easy to see that the
victory would go to the team making
a spectacular forward pass on long
run.
Tho Blues surpassed the Mutes in
ground gaining, as they made seven

yards. and three for 1--WE yards cut
down the Blues chances for several
other first downs When in the middle
of the field. Feuerstein, Barry, Jones
and Jordon could pierce the opposing
lines for gains of five to ten yards,
but when under the shadow of the
goal posts the Gallaudet line braced
to the firmness of a stone wall, and
held for downs every time, kicking out
of danger when the ball went over.

NO ONE is SERIOUSLY HURT
Many Passengers Are Shaken Up and
Bruised but Not Painfully Injured.

the Cause.

A head-on collision that shook up
large number of passengers, inflicted
few minor injuries, seriously hurt
the flag man on one of the trains and
delayed traffic for several hours oc-
Cured Friday afternoon at o'clock
near CampbelPs cation, two miles
sonth of Culleoka, on the Louisville
& Nashville Railroad. South bound
passenger train No. 5, the Decatur ac-
commodation and north bound freight
came together.
The wreck was due to the failure
of the air breaks on the freight train
to work, allowing it to pass the siding
and run into the passenger. The
freight train was coming down heavy
grade at the time and ran into the
passenger with terrific force Fortu-
nately the passenger train was not
moving otherwise the results would
probably have been fatal to many of
the passengers.
The wrevking crew was Immediately
sent out from Columbia and by heroic
work all night, the engines and other
debris of the wreck was removed to
Columbia The delay to traffic, consid
ering the damage done, was slight.
North bound passenger No. 2 was de-
layed about two and three quarters
hours.
While none of the passengers were
seriously or even painfully hurt they
all received a good shaking up. The
impact threw several from their seats
and these sustained minor bruises.

Cases.

Another blind tiger was unearthed
in Columbia late Thursday afternoon
when Deputy Sheriff Goad searched
the establishment of c. B. Sedowey, a
restaurant keeper. and seized twenty
three pints of such red-eye as is re-
tailed within the purlieus of this city.
Sedowey was arrested and given a
preliminary hearing before Esq. Geo.

Bond was fixed at $500 in each case.
T. o. Brown was the material wit
ness in the case, and it was his testi-
mony that backed up the circumstan-
tial evidence of the captured liquor.
Mr.. Brown stated that he went into
Mr.. Sedowey's restaurant for the
purpose of securing a meal. Casually
he tapped a gentleman on the hip
pocket, and jocularly asked if there
was anything doing. After some
parleying he was passed a pint of fire
water in exchange for seventy-flve
cents in currency. After retiring from
the premises Mr.. Brown went to. a
nearby alley and was sampling the
liquid when he heard to pit-pat of ap-
feet. Guess you got that

querried Deputy GOad, who

vas taken completely by surprise
Armed with a States warrant and
search warrant the officer returned
o the premises, finding the twenty
hree pints safely stored away in a
rip. Sedowey was Immediately ar
ested and the liquor conflscated.

HEROIC RESCUE OF :

TED SHEPPARD SAVES COOK
FROM A HORRIBLE
~ DEATH.
Her CLOTHING WAS IGNITED
Turning She Ran Toward the Sitting
Room and Timely Rescue Alone
Kept Her From Perlshing-Caught

action of Ted Sheppard, the eighteen
year old son of Mrs. w. c. Sheppard,

Mrs. Sheppard owes her life.
Late Friday afternoon the negress
was standing in the kitchen warming
her back by the range. With that
fondness for warmth characteristic of
her race she stood in blissful enjoy
ment of the increasing heat until
warned by the blue blazes Pickering
above her shoulder that her clothing
were on fire. Panic stricken, with
jets of fire issuing from her back, the
woman turned and ran toward the
house. from which the kitchen is some
distance removed.
Ted Sheppard recently broke his
arm at Mt. Pleasant and has been at
home for some days recuperating
Seeing the negro approaching he grab

folds, extinguishing the flames.
Examination showed that the negress
had not been injured. She wore thick
underclothing, and this fact together
with her prompt rescue no doubt saw
