The story Of that quaint play, Home Ties, centers about the sale Of an old homestead Tn the small town Of Pin ehard, Pa. SiIas Dixon and his fami- ly own tract of land on which gi- ant oil gnsher has developed. IL is to gain possession Of this valuable prop serty that Haz Sweezey, a ssin.ilint money lender resorts to fraud and frickery. This man aptly nick-nafned stthe meapest man in town owns twenty houses but has never had a Home. Cruel, money Rfasping wretch, his whole existence devoted to the ae- cumnIatinR of wealth, his mind warp. ed with his selfish. bitter hatred Of hu- manity, he al lHst yields L. Il better and holief sentiment -the love for Il beautiful woman.
 II k the sweet. noble character of Kate Fenton that leads him from his wicked ways. An inspiring religious sentiment runs through the plhy. which without preaching teaches many hearts and shows the dawn of il new awakening to many souls grasp. ing for the Light. The comedy eic. ment is of breezy kind and each character is Of distinctive type long to be remembered. The cast Is An eN- ceptionaliy strong one and MT. Byron Chandler has spared no expense to make the production complete and elaborate one. Miss Gertrude Augarde long remembered for her comedy role in Quincy Adams Sawyer, has another one of those sefeamingly funny parts In Home Ties, while Daniel Burns, late of Mrs. Fiske's company, fills Bobby fenton most charningly. La- cille Spinney k the Kate fenton, while that strong character actor, Preston Coffin, plays Inc father with quiet hu- mor and quaint paihas. Miss Eileen Seymour handles the role of Msta Dixon with her accustomed skill while the balance of the cast includes F. k. stephens, Edward l.. Delaney, Miss Luck Parker.

rider, should has machine leave the
track. But at the place of the accl
dent, there is a small gate, the posts
of which make the only obstruction
Allegations by spectators that the
track was insufficiently policed, are
denied by the management, which
states that every precaution was ta-
ken under the rules Of the American
Federation of Motorcylists.
Referee L. H. Miner and Assistant
L. G. Sampson say they hai tagged
the riders several times and thas
they failed to heed the warning.
When the people wanted to leave the
infield they say they at once set about
clearing the track, but that the mo-
torists would pay absolutely no at
tention to the signals.
Violated Rules Of the Federation.
They also say that Brazie looked
back, which is contrary to the rules
of the American Federation of Motor
cylists. Sampson said he warned
Brazie against recklessness Just be-
fore the men went on the track to
warm up, but that Brazie laughed
and said that If anything happened to
him they should wire his wife.
Brazie came to Denver from Cali
fornla about two weeks before the
oldfieli races on Decoration day and
has been working at Brown and
Beck's motorcycle selesroom since
then. He left his wife in Fresno and
was contemplating returning to the
California city soon.

Struck with Great Force,

The impact shattered the pole an,
nearly tore 1t from its position. TIL
impact crushed the skull Of the ride
and broke his neck. He shot bacl
from the pole with catapiltlc forct
and, spinning like top, the manglet
body of the young man fell to thu
bottom of the inclined track. Medi'
cal aid arrived at once, but Brazee
was dead.
The machine was wreck. Every
piece Of mechanism was broken to
bits. 1t was flung as far as the pole
where Winfield was standing, but its
force was nearly spent. 1t struck the
man, who is 50 years old, and frac-
tured his leg. He was taken to his
home. Miller was able to leave the
track unassisted, although he was
badly bruised.
All Of the five men who were rid
ing upon the track when the accident
occurred were badly frightened. G.
W. Clayton and Glenn Boyd were in
the lead and were immune Then
came Miller, whom Brazee struck,
and following him at short dis
tance, Armstrong, the greatest rider
of the West, was slowing down. Had
he been going at the clip held by
Brazee he would probably have met
death too. AS 1t was, he swerVed TO
the low part of the track aha escap=
ed injury by just three feetS Some
distance in the rear James A. jack
son was riding, but he had ample
line to stop before he reached the
Icene.
Brazee was nearly killed about four
weeks ago on the same track. At
hat time he was flung from his ma
hine after he had received repeated
that his motorcycle was in
eed Of repair. He suffered serious +,
ruises and 1t was said some ribs
1ere broken. The scars OF the first j
ccfdent were still on the body yes I
erday. +
He was about "a years old and !,
,eighed 100 pounds, much too light

Iders who were on the track at the
me say that this was the primary :.
ause of the accident, because II u
razee had more weight he would not .
ave lost control of the machine as \
e did when he collided with Miller. r

Denver he presented his quallfica- y

Abilene Boy Is
Killed in Denver

William Thorne, son of Mr.. and
Mrs. John Thorne Of this city, was in
stantly killed ON the Tuileries cycle
track. Denver, Sunday afternoon at
4 o'clock.
The following from the Denver
! Times of Monday tells the story OF
the accident:
Within the view Of the 5000 spec
tators many OF whom were women, W
w. Thorne, known as Ben Brazie in
the motor racing world, hurtled into
the fence while riding motorcycle
at sixty miles an hour, and was In
stantIQ killed at the Tuleries track
yesterday afternoon. @
The accident caused excitement. In
the grandstand. where q number Of
women tainted. In the confusion no
attention was paid to the dead rider
for several minutes. and the mutilat-
ed body lay exposed to the gaze Of the
curious. Ultimately a physician ar
rived and pronounced the man dead,
his body then being wrapped in
sheet and carried away.
The accident was attributed by a
number of spectators to the failure
of those interested to keep the track
clear. It is said the ball game held
In the infield Of the track had Just
ended and that people were crossing
the tracks at the same time that ten
machines were circling at high speed.
Riders Ignored Plea to Stop.
On behalf of the management, it IL
stated the riders were warming up
without authority, and that they had
been repeatedly signaled by the track
officials to stop until the people had
crossed from the infield, but that the
riders had ignored the signals.
It appears that the ball game be-
tween the Tuileries and Annunciation
teams had just ended and several mo- +,
torcylists who were to compete in the I
races to follow had taken the track {
10 warm up. Ten machines were out '
.lrcling the oval at rate of speed es- I
.imated at sixty miles an hour, when /
v. p. Miller. who was in the lead ]
started to slow up. His machine
vavered as it slowed and Brazie, who1 t
vas behind, swerved to the right in
attempting to pass, and lost control =
# his machine which seemed to bare
Y touch Miller's and then jump out
rom under rider and crash into the !,

round and struck on his back, spin .
