"Rube" Birch was all to the good
Saturday afternoon. If any one has
ever accused the southpaw of going
back or of being on the roller coaster
as mound artist, that said person
should have watched yesterdays per-
Torrance While Reichle was the elev

Burch who performed with great
consistency throughout it all For
seven innings he hewed down the OPP

mighty Williams, Suliivans. Fosters
and Joansons IN the lot Not only did
he perform heroically on the mound.
but he fie1ded like a spry young kid,
knocking down line drives and shoot

a real devil. And then his batting

Keckuk won, ! to 0.
The battle was one OF the prettiest
seen on the local patcl for some time.
IT comprised just enough hitting
and Just enough spectacular fielding to
make interest intense at all times.
Keokuk probably suffered worse than
Monmouth on account of brilliant field
ing. for williams in right and Johnson
IN center made catches that would
have done credit to big league stars
had they been pulled off in the new

FAMINE TO FOLLOW
COMET, INDIAN SAYS

Walthill, Neb., May Turning
Hawk, an Omaha Indian on the reser-
walton north and east Of here, claims to
have reached the age of 1875 years. He
Is one of the few Indians who saw the
HALEY comet when it made it's APP
pearance seventy-five years ago.
Turning Hawk saw the comet a few
nights ago and, recalling it's former
visit, said:
When the star with a tail' was here
before, the Omahas were powerful
tribe, occupying all of the land from
the Platte to the Missouri river and
as far west as the Elkorn river in
Nebraska. 1t came at that time be-
cause my people had been wicked. 1t
did not destroy them, but that year the
streams dried up, the cattle and horses
died and the corn and melons failed to
grow. The game went away and many
OF my people died from hunger.
"It has come now because the white
men are so bad. / hear that they have
been stealing from the Great Father at
Washington, and right here thcy have
been trying to steal our land and cheat
us out Of what has been given to us.
When the star with tail was here
before, for three nights all of the stars
fell. The nights were turned into days
and thousands of suns were shining
At last the medicine men drove the evil
spirits away, but not until the star had
shown it's power. Now the Great Spir-i
1t is mad again and this year there wifi
not be any crops raised by the white
men. Many people will die and many
more will be hungry"

ex-President Roosevelt would dis
countenance the steps taken by the
Roosevelt monument association Of

previously written Mr. Hanna from
Egypt that he did not believe in putting

til considerable time after they were
dead, but added IL his friends were
going to have a statue he thought 1t
ought to be typical OF his early days
as a frontier farmer or cowboy In
North Dakota. The main thing was
the right sort Of picture, whether
it were likeness OF him or not did
not matter.
Mr.. Hanna stated today that the
statue will be erected to the former
president at Fargo and will cost $15,-

ability as an agent and was attributed
by Secretary Ballinger to special Agent

N. D. Man IS
SHOT BY SON
Gun Was Accidentally Dis
charged ather Is Dead
HAPPENED IN FOSTER Co.
YOUNG MAN REFUSES TO BE-.
LIEvE THAT HIS FATHER rs
DEAD-HAs BEEN TAKEN TO
DARLINGTON FOR A HEARING
VERY SAD ACCIDENT.

Darlington, N. D., May IA shot
gun in the hands of Lee A. Miller was
accidentally discharged and the charge
of shot entered the arm and shoulder
Of his father, e. d. J. Miller. The
latter lived several hours, but finally
succumbed
The horrible accident happened at
the Miller home, twenty-five miles
northeast Of Darlington and twelve
niles east of Barlow. Lee Miller, who
did the shooting, Is q young man
about 81 or % years old, and says that
he was carrying the gun from one
room Of the house to another, when.
In some manner, he knows not how,
it was discharged. THE accident hap
pened in the house, the son getting the
gun ostenslbly to carry 1t out doors to
shoot dog. Young Miller was
brought to Darlington and is now
here pending a hearing. The young
man takes the accident very much to
heart but will not believe that his
father Is dead. He inadvertently heard
a man remark that Mr.. Miller was
dead, when the son excitedly protested
that this could not be so-that his
father was just shot in the arm and
that he, the son, fixed it up all right
that he stopped the flow OF blood, and
in proof of this latter statement
showed the blood on his own coat that
he had used to staunch the flow of blqod
from the fathers wound. And the sSn
does not yet believe his father is
dead.
1t Is an especially sad accident, and
the sympathy of all goes out to the
family and to the son, who was the
cause of the death of the father. The
deceased was man something over so
years of age, and is the father Of four
children, three daughters a. - one SON.
Ezra Miller, the deceased, was one of
the county's most highly respected
citizens had been resident of the
county for a long time, and had been
successful as a farmer and owner a
large farm, consisting of six or seven
quarters, and had but recently added
two more quarters to his holdings. 1t
is one Of the saddest tragedies in the
history of Foster county.
