HIcCoUGHS CAUSE
AGED MANS DEATH
Jens p. Anderson Suffers From PecuI.
lar Malady Three Weeks Be-
fore He Dies.

Ephraim, Dec 12.-Seized with hlc.
coughs three weeks ago. Jens P. An
derson, a pioneer of this district, hic
coughed constantly until death ended
his suffering yesterday morning.
The aged man literally hiccoughed
himself TO death.
Though advanced in years, Mr. An.
derson possessed a rugged constitu.
ton and was apparently in the best
of health until seized with the pecul-
iar malady that resulted In his death.
Mr.. Anderson was born in Denmark
Jan. IA. 1926 While In his native
land he learned the trade Of a miller,
which he followed for some time. af.
ter which he served two years In the
army He joined the Mormon church
in 1852 and came to Utah a few
months later, crossing the plains in an
OK train under Captain Olsen, arriy.
Ing in Salt Lake City in 1854 Later
he came TO this city and assisted in
the building OF the fort, and took an
active part In the Black Hawk war
In 1862 he moved to Glenwood, and
was among the first settlers there. A
home was built there by him, but be
was driven out by the Indians. An.
derson returned to Ephraim in 1866
and engaged in farming, which he con.
tiued until his death.

PENING q OF
,JARBIDGE
SITE

Assistant Foresters Timothy Hoyt
and h. L. Wheeler of the land depart
ment of the forest service. have gone
to JarbriGge. Idaho, where they will
be detained some time defining the
boundary lines OF the mining camp.
The gentlemen started for the camp
last week by way of Elko. Nevada,
but were forced tc return on account
of heavy snow in the mountains be.
tween Elko and Jarbidge. They re-
turned 10 ogden a couple Of days ago
and this morning started for the place
by way of Twin Falls.
Since the rush to the Jarbidge
country there has been considerable
dispute regarding the boundaries Of
the townsite. There have been shoot
ing scrapes and several disputes as
10 the licensing OF saloons in the
camp.
The townsite is embraced I'm a ma
tional forest reserve and for that rea-
son the land Office department could
not furnish title TO the town lots
Foresters Hoyt and Wheeler will de-
termine the exact boundary lines of
the proposed townsitc. eliminate it
from the forest reserve and report the
same TO the land office department,
after which a survey will be made and
the land thrown open to entry In some
form. This, it is expected, will set
tie the perDleXing controversy.

YEARS TO BUILD
BASEBALL TEAM

New York. Dec. IA champion
day, and the Philadelphia Athletics
are apt to hold the title until they
reach the very top of their perfec-
ton and some Younger team develops
strength enough to climb the cham
pionship hill and push the White Ele-
plants over the ridge. Once a club
reaches its highest degree of efficiency
all attempts 10 remain stationary are
vain and retrogTesSion follows.
The Athletics have not even yet
reached their top speed. Collins, Bar
ry, Oldring. Thomas. Lapp. Baker,
Strunk and Livingston may all be eX-
pected TO play faster ball during the
next two years than they did last sea
son. Bender, Coombs Plank and
Morgan can be relied upon to decrease
the batting averages of opposing
teams. Murphy and Davis are still
two OF the best players in the game.
while Lord and Hartsel are still fast,
Perhaps the one creates asset of
the White Elephants is their manager,
Connie Mack. His Judgment, his
knowledge OF the game and skill in
developing players arc all unsurpasS-
ed. 1t Is difficult to see ohw next
year, at least. any team can be de-
yeloped sufficiently to stop the ma-
chine which Mack has set in mo-
ton.
Players outlive their usefulness in
time. and while one weak spot on the
nine may be patched up, soon four or
five appear. That means going back
to the beginning and building up a
new championship aggregation
To prove this it Is only necessary to
open again the history Of the game
and go over the records. In 1894 Han
Ion. McGraw, Jennings and Robinson
put together the Baltimore machine,
which won for four consecutive years
The next two seasons Frank Selee
took the title with the Boston club
In 1899 and 1900 Hanlon led the
Brooklyn team TO victory. The three
following seasons saw Pittsburg tri-
umph under the leadership of Fred
Clarke, who is still In command

posed OF Mathewson, Wiftse, Ames'

McGinnity and Taylor, brought the
championship to New York in 1904
and 1905 Then Frank Chance per-
fected the Chicago team. which was
champion for three straight seasons
and held the worlds title in 1907 and
1908. In the meantime Jennings had
won the American league champion
ship twice with his eDtroit Tigers,
but could not take the worlds series
from the representative OF the older
league.
The reason was that, while Jen-
nlngs had built up a club that would
fight all the way. he never had a per
feet team. There was always a weak
spot or two for his opponents to break
through.
In 1909 the great Chicago machine
had begun to be less efficient and
was forced TO leave to PIttsburg the
defeat of Detroit, which had finished
first IN their organization for the third
time
This season the Cubs managed to
win their league title again, but the
team which had won the name of 'the
greatest baseball machine the game
ever produced" had gone down hill
fast. Brown and Overall were no
longer terrors to opposing batsmen.
The miner, who for years had been
the idol OF the Chicago fans. was al.
most pathetic figure. His expert
ence and his cunning still remained.
but he had lost strength and stamina.
Chance realizes that he must reor-
ganize his team and start again.
1t Is probable that next season a
younger man Will replace Harry Stein
feldt at third base, and perhaps John
ny Evers may not be able to cover
second with his old-tlme ability. II
may be that Sheckard will have to
resign his place to some youngster as
yet unknown, but Archer will prob
ably be the chief back-stop.

company went into the hands of a

sented his claim for a balance due

1t is also set forth i'm the mem-

that they did other work, of a manual
