HURT BY ELECTRIC SHOCK.
Gust Westrum, Working for Upper
Iowa Power Co., Has Narrow
Escape From Death.

Gust Westrum, an employe of
the Upper Iowa Power Company,
had a narrow escape from death last
Wednesday, while working on the
power circuit line near Freeport. He
was out with A. NJ. Sherry going
over the line to see what damage
had been done by the recent storm
and make necessary repairs, and
while working at the top of a pole,
there was sharp fash of lightning,
and he was knocked from the pole,
falling to the ground twenty feet
below. Mr.. Sherry attempted to
catch him as he was falling, head
downward, and succeeded in break
ing his fall and turning him over,
or he very likely would have been
killed. He was brought to the st.
Cloud hotel, where he is being cared
for, and is getting along nicely. 1t
is not known whether he sustained
the shock from the lightning or from
the electricity in the wires, but it
was pretty close call either way.

DEBORAH TRIMS LAWYER
The Game Went Eleven Innings
With Both Teams Fighting
Hard to Win.
BIDNE STARS WITH THE STICK.
1t Was Regular Suggest, Both
Teams COPIED Thirteen Hits
and Struggled i'm Few
Errors.

In one of the best games of the
season at the fair grounds last Sun
day, Manager Shea's pennant chasers
grabbed another game off the pen
nant tree that Lawler was trying hard
to pull down. The ball tossers from
our sister city arrived on the mid
night train Saturday, ana were
quartered at the Commercial. They
appeared on the diamond about two
O'Clock and showed up we'll in prac.
tice. The fans anticipated good
game and were not disappointed.
Bidne was on the mound for De,
corah and pitched winning ball, but
errors behind him at critical times
prolonged the game to eleven excit.
ing innings. He was opposed by a
professional from Des Moines, but
his opposition wasn't disliked by the
locals, for they took to his up-shoots
very kindly. He was pitching pretty
high balls all right when d. Koran
had to jump for them.
Lewis, the first man up, got free
ticket and stole second, scoring a
short time after on Dostal's hit over
second. If the hit had been fielded
properly, as it should, no score
would have counted, as Goldsmith
whitfield and O'Neil skied out to WEEP
Ter.
The locals were BANKED in their
first half, but in the second they
counted twice. Dotseth singled and
Bernatz hit high one to right. Dot
CT into hn Grc III
wound up on third in time to turn
and see McKone drop the ball. 1t
was daring steal, but made good.
Riggs then hit for two bases, scoring
Bernatz and Dotseth.
They scored again in the third.
Manager Shea hit for two bases.
Hustvedt got pass, and then Bidne
polled a long one to left which was
nailed, Shea scoring on it. Koran
famed the air and Dotseth flied out
to second.
There was nothing doing for Law
Ter until the sixth, when his honor
Mr.. Jumps, on account of the sun
misjudged a long foul hit by Ball
that struck on the outside of the left
field flag. 1t was good for two sta
tons and Ball registered on Nc
Kone's hot grounder past second
Sharp hunted down the first base
line, beating it out. Redmen hit to
riggs and he threw out McKone try
ing to score. Lewis singled to left
and Sharp counted a moment later
Redmen scored on Riggs clerica
error, with only one down. O'Con.
nor planted an easy one al Riggs
and he threw him out at first, in
stead OF catching Redmen scoring
Goldsmith whitfield again and tha
ended their chalk-ups.
In the sixth DEBORAH tied the
count. Riggs hit sizzler TO Sharp
who threw wild to first and on the
relay it was heaved past second and
Riggs was quietly perched on third
scoring on McGreevey's high fly tC
Ball, who dropped his namesake
evi 'ently asamed of it. In the sew.
enth another score was counted fol
the locals. Bidne hit hot one past
Dostal, but was caught at second g
moment later on Horan's hit tC

vancing Koran to third. Bernatz got

THE FREAKS PLAY BALL.

The game was called at three
O'Clock,
With Taffy at the stick;
Old Wood was right there in the box
To show 'em all trick.
French Horn blew up to second base,
With Fiddle next in line;
Green Corn was playing center field,
The pride of all the nine.
When AK came to the bat he chopped
And that let Side walk home;
Then Slugger made an awful hit,
And Foot kicked up the loan.
The rooters cheered at Twenty's
score,
And screamed out, Apples rot
tent"
Called Umpire Croak a great big
stiff,''
And said he needed swattin'.
When crafty Spider caught fly,
Kite went up in the air;
But Cabbage kept his head quite
And said he didn't care.
Bread was put out for loafing round,
And Knife for cutting base;
Pig rooted for the rival team,
Till Slugger punched his face.
The betting was so lively that
Poor Egg at last went broke,
And Umbrella had to go
And put his ribs in soak.
At last 1t broke up in row,
And Gate let out shout;
IF you had only let me pitch,
] could have shut them Quit"

HE colonial style always has
been and always will be dear
to the American heart. There
gssesrr is no more pleasant hobby
3NF9fl than making a collection of
S=sY the beautiful things in colonial
bric-a-brac and furniture Naturally. the
oonnoisseur prefers to have the original
for examples, but since there are seldom
enough to go around there Is no good
reason why faithful copies Of original
pieces Of furniture made Of a good ma
terial and in as good way should not be
as popular as the now somewhat marred
and time-worn pieces that have been
resurrected from our grandfathers' attios
and handed down to use as a priceless
heritage.
There is one class OF colonial art, which
we are forced to copy, Tor both location
and lack of number prevents us all from
owning the Originals" That is the
domestic colonial architecture. While we
have come to look upon the colonial style
of architecture as the American renais-
sance, 1t is, in fact, native OF England,
where II was known as the Georgian
style. 1t was considered as only fad In
the mother country, however, and was
soon discarded for the ancient styles
which are dear to the English and Scotch
people. It was at this time in English
history that the colonists were building
their first homes and buildings and since
they employed English architects their
homes received the distinctive stamp OF
the Georgian style, then in vogue in Eng
land. 1t was in this school that our first
American architects were cultured ard
trained with the result that the style
came into national use and because OF
its association with the early colonial
history Of this country, we have come
TO know it as the colonial style Of archl-
lecture. 1t Is best known by its clean
cut classic details, the generous use Of
Omaha daily bee., 1911-10-22

columns and p!iasters, and the ever pres
ent triple group FOR windows or doors,
taken from the Paladian buildings OF
Italy.
II is especially adapted to construction
in wood, and from this fact it has derived
its somewhat misleading name OF the
carpenters renaissance" White paint is
used to large extent in colonial aiEhi-
lecture, the deep shadows bringing out
its exquisite details. In architecture as
in life, It IL the shadows which bring out
the true character. Contrast Of color is
always prevalent, White columns, how
ever, can never make colonial house,
the details and proportion Of the rest Of
the house must be In keeping. There
must be a feeling of harmony through
out. II you do not know in what style
to design your home, select a competent
architect and instruct him to make It

pressing as the city builds up and resi-

There are number OF such places
where property could be had at quite
reasonable prices now, and In some cases
where the city practically owns little
tracts because OF their tax claim on the
property. In the case Of the tract that
we are buying we found that there were
several lots that had practically been
abandoned by the owners and the city
had tax claims OF as much as the lots
were WORTH"
