fact not generally known" says the
Bakers Weekly. that a majority OF
the nuts drop at night. which prob
ably accounts for the small loss of life
by cocoanuts falling upon the heads
OF the natives.
The action OF the heavy dew at
night loosens the seal with which ma
ture has provided the nut and allows
1t to fall. The nuts wanted for plant
Ing are either gathered into heaps or
placed under sheds. where they are
allowed to sprout before planting. IN

may be selected, thus avoiding the
possibility Of planting blind nuts
that would not sprout, In which case
much time would be lost IN starting

BerryVille, 7; Junction, s.

The game between the locals and
the boys from Shenandoah Junction
Monday afternoon was thriller,
from the time the visitors second
sacker stung the first ball pitched
for a clean two-bagger until the
last man was out in the ninth
round.
Close decisions, hair-raising
plays, superb baserunning, gener-
ously sprinkled with errors, and
close-standing score, kept the in
terest on the high speed.
The locals did not deserve to win
on actual merit, as the other fellows
played little better game, but
luck, that great factor in this most
scientific game, leaned her full
weight against the visitors, and
the locals won out.
In clean hits, there was very
little doing, the opposing pitchers
giving three safeties each.
The Junction boys brought q
goodly crowd of rooters, and they
enlivened things all the time.
Jim" Foley was the only real,
genuine, gold-standard rooter for
the locals, but they can thank him
for the game, as his coaching sent
in the winning run.
Nice crowd of fellows, the juno
ton boys; and we hope to see more
of them during the Summer.

Two Games for Saturday

The High Schools old-time

Saturday, one game in the morning
and one in the afternoon.
Because of the keen rivalry

EXCITING
Runaway Occurs Late We'd
nGSday Afternoon
In Which A Horse SuStainS
Broken. Neck

An exciting runaway occurred on
South West street and West High
street at about $3.50 o'clock Wednes-
day afternoon when team Of horses
owned by Mr.. Beggs Of Green Valley
became frightened and ran as far
north on West street as High street
where one of the horses sustained a
broken neck by striking a tree. The
team Of horses, hitched to a hay wag-
on, was left standing near the McCon-
nell ware house on West Gambler
street near a point where some baled
hay was being loaded on q wagon.
One of the bales fell to the grond and
bounded in the direction of the team
and frightened them to such an ex-
tent that they began to run. Fortu-
nately, nothing was encountered in
the street, but when the runaway
team reached High street the frighten-
ed animals attempted to turn west
toward the B. & o. tracks but were un-
able to make the turn because of the
speed in which they were going.
Striking the north curb just opposite
the residence of DR.. Heard, the hors-
es were thrown sideways, the one on
the left running violently into large
tree with its head and as result, its
neck was broken. The one injured
died almost instantly, but the horse on
the right ecaped uninjured. No one
was in the wagon when the runaway
started and nobody was injured, al
though several had narrow escape
at the corner of West High street.
