Seven rugged men competed against

The girl was in the water six hours,

average temperature OF the water

After three years of untiring ser.
vice, John Fl. Flaherty will decline to
manage the local base ball club an.
other season. He made this announce
ment Yesterday that the present sea.
son will be his last with the local
team which means that the associa-

the club is In the field another spring.
The North Adams club was organ.
lied chiefly through the personal
efforts of Mr. Flaherty and he has
had complete charge for the past
three years. In spite of the handi.
caps and knocking he has brought
the team through three years of base
ball with practically no capital with
which to get under way. Considering
the many obstacles which have con.
tronted the team It is safe to say that
no other manager could have sur.
mounted the three seasons.
II remains to be seen whether or
not Mr.. Flaherty's successor proves
himself as resourceful In overcoming
financial difficulties and turning out n
team which has held its own with all
other clubs In this section.

Numerous Fatalities In CaIifOr.
mia Railroad Wreck
IN ORDERS
Special Runs into Fast Passen-
ger Train at Sharp
Curve.

lgnacio, Calf, Aug. 9.-Thirteen
persons were killed and at least 10 in
jured last night when a passenger
train, bound from San Francisco to-
Santa Rosa on the Northwestern Pa
cific railway, was struck by a special
locomotive and caboose south of
Ignacio.
Most of those injured were riding
III the smoking car. They we're resi-
dents of Peta Luna, Santa Rosa and
other nearby towns Several, it is
said, were delegates to the state con
vention of the Red Men. which meets
at Santa Rosa tomorrow.
The wreck occurred at sharp
curve. The passenger train was trav
cling 40 miles an hour and the loco
motive and caboose also were going
lat good speed. At the Office of the
train dispatcher it was said that one
of the conductors had made mistake
in his orders and failed to take a sid
ing.
Just before the collision the pas
sengers were ierked forward by the
setting of the brakes. Then there
came a terrific impact and the sound
of escaping steam The two engines
crushed into each other The baggage
car and the smoking car were teles-
COPIED.
When the dazed passengers made
their way out of the rear coaches UNI
harmed they heard the shrieks and
groans of the injured.
The 30 passengers in the smoking
car were caught among broken seats
and splintered timbers and those
who were not killed were unable to
help themselves.
A few men made their way to the
forward end of the smoking car.
where the greatest damage hal been
done. Efforts to open windows or
remove the broken timbers we're
fruitless. Work on the rear half of
the smoker was easier. Some of the
rescuers scattered to nearby houses
to telephone for help, while others
sought to get the injured out of the
wreck.
A headless corpse was found lying
by the side of the track. Another
body was found in a sitting position
In window of the smoker.

ENDS LIFE WITH
A BULLET
GamaIieI Bradford Sd Suicides
Because Of Unrequited Love
FAMILY EXPECTED TRAGEDY
Young Woman Had Refused to
Break Engagement With
Another.

South birmingham, Mass, Aug. 3.
With a copy of Byron's poems be-
side him, Gamaliel Bradford, Sd, OF
Wellesley Hills, direct descendant of
William Bradford, first governor of
the Plymouth colony, and q member
Of the graduating class of 1910 at
Harvard, shot himself to death at a
local hotel yesterday, because the
girl he loved had refused him.
Bradford's young passion broke the
stern barrier of long generations of
Puritan repression yesterday morn
ing when he begged the young wo-
man to break her engagement to
another man. His pleadings were
made at the railroad station here, and
concealing his agitation at the young
womans refusal. Bradford walked d.
rectly to a nearby hotel, engaged a
room and, saying he was tired, locked
himself in Within half an hour four
shots were heard. When hotel en-
ployes broke down the door of the
young mans room he was found on
the floor unconscious from a wound in
his head The other three shots,
fired wildly, left their marks about
the apartment.
News of the shooting reached the
young woman, Miss Elizabeth Corco-
ran of Great harrington, who had re-
iected him, and she tainted. Upon re-
covery she went to Bradford's bed
side at hospital and remained there
until he died, few hours later, un-
conscious to the end.
Gamaliel Bradford, I'd, the youths
father, said his son had long brooded
over his love affairs and the family
had feared such a result.
Young Bradford, was a brilliant
student, finishing his four years
course at Harvard in three years. He
then entered the banking business
in Boston. His college chum, John
Brooks. committed suicide two years
ago under the same circumstances as
today's tragedy. Bradford was tenth

ed many prominent men. He was %
years OF age. His grandfather is

we'll known pubicist. anti-imperialist
and former candidate for governor
of Massachusetts,.
