Cecil Ferguson. the Adonis Of the Boston National league team, made what was perhaps the most peculiar assist ever made in the season 0f 1910. The play came up late in the season in a game against Brooklyn and resulted in a victory for the Bos- ton team. At least it prevented Brook lyn from taking the lead and as Bos- ton afterwsrd won the game the chances are the play turned the tide.
 Ferguson was pitching Both teams had been hitting hard and mak- ing many runs and Fergy was thrown in to save the day with a runner on third base and one out He pitched we'll enough. but in spite of his efforts the batter drove a fly to Miller. who was over in deep left center. The runner held his base and the battei tore arouad first to race to second or the throw to the plate. Ferguson went over on a line between the shori stop and catcher, being ready 10 catci the ball and throw to second base ir case he decided there wasn't chance 10 catch the runner going home. H' | decided at the last instant that Ma: ler's throw was good enough to catei l inc runner at the plate and dodgeS quickly into a stooplng position to le he bail go or to Harry Smith, wh' was catching. But in dodging Fergl

AUT0lST KILLS BULL
 CHARGING HIS MACHINE

BANGOR. Me. July G.-George o. Conner of New York. a mining engin- eer. is the hero of the first red automObile-Jersey bull story of the season. It was O'Conner who killed the bull with his little automobile gun when that animal attacked the automobile belonging to Herman Scott. also a mining man of New York During the scrimmage, how ever, two women fell over a stone wall and were badly bruised. while Scott managed to faint just as the hup dropped ana caused O'Conner to fear that the bullet had hit him fn- stead of the bull.
 The women of the party were Mrs. Scott and Miss Bertha Taylor. Of Bloomington, N. J. They had been touring in the rsddist car that ever hit the state. and when out on the Ellsworth road the magneto began to go wrong. 1t happened that the Scott car broke down right by the side of the pasture owned by Sum ner Smith. and exclusively occupied hv a large and obstreperous Jersey ItuI. When the Jersey caught sight oi ihe red car he put his head down and ! charged. overlooking the fact that a stone wall intervened between him self and his intended prey. Head down. he hit the wall with such force that he turned a double somer sault. alighting in the road by ths fear The ladies screamed and fled O'Conner rushed for his traveiini iI,ag and withdrew therefrom a smal sutOmatnc revolver.
 The bull got up and charged again

SAYS MEXICO PEACE
 TOO GOOD ID LAST
CoteS Appears to Have Little Faith in Ability of
 Madero

k. P. Cortes. formerly private sec retary of General Torres. at the state capital of Sonora. passed through Tucson Tuesday on bis way from Los Angeles to the City of Mexico. He was interviewed by the reporters of the Tucson papers, as to his opinion of conditions in Mexico.
 Senor Cortes made the statement that General Torres is not in disfav- or ia Mexico. and will probably re- turn after having spent his vacation on the coast. He said further:
 Tn regard to the conditions in Mexico they are all quiet through cut the country. This is only tempo rary, however, and will not last very long. The Maderistos are in full power and everyone is looking at the present time to see If Madero will make good" to use the Amer ican term. It is not possible to say lat such an early date whether he
 
 as was Diaz Of course, I can't say whether k Yill be necessary to re .call Diaz or not It is all accord ing to whether Madero does the right thing. It may be that Diaz will never be recalled. don't know.
 There is general feeAng of good will throughout the country at the present time, but I don't think that 1t will last for all time. There were a good many people under arms during the revolution, and a good many of them have not as yet given up their arms. in spite of the quiet which now reigns. There are several parties in the country and there is a good deal of friction. I expect that during the elections there will be trouble. Of course. l can't say as 10 this with any great degree of surety. There may be, and there may not be. but things point that way just at present.
 The revolution was a successful one as far as a change of govern ment went. Diaz was busted and also his whole regime was put out, but there are friends of Diaz in the country still, and there are a good many of them. If a second fight comes up. don't know just how things will go. The parties will be more evenly divided, of course. than they were in the last trouble. It all depends on Madero and his pol icy. I don't know just what he will do
 General Torres will probably go back to Hermosillo after he has spent his vacation on the coast He takes a trip there every year, and this is only one of his usual ones. He has talked Of remaining in the United States some place during the next few years. I am on my way now to Hermosillo to my home"

VAR ID POLITICS IS
 CHIHUAHUES FAYE
Orozco Said to Be Candidate of the Old Federal
 Machine
fChlhuahua Enterprlse.l )


 Grim visaged war hath smooth ss her wrinkled front and now, Instead of mounting barbed steeds to fright the souls Of fearful ad- versaries. or words to that effect. she plunges this unhappy state in- to the uncertain sea of politics.
 General Pascual OrozcO. who has the gubernatorial bee buzzing in his bonnet to beat the band, is early in the field with a manifesto to the pueblo Chihuahuense. lie says:
 "A group of citizens have pub lished an address proposing me as candidate for governor of the state,
 Tn this manifesto they have greatly exaggerated my modest ser vices. which, as a citizen. it was my simple duty to offer to my coun, try in the hour of her danger"
 He then goes on to pay his re- spects to the authors of an article in a morning paper which attacks the people who are behind candidate orozsco in his march on the guber- material chair.
 But as I am represented in this article as having thrown my self into the arms of those who are the enemies of la Patria and who have shed the blood of my brothers I protest with indignation against this imputation and appeal to the record of my life and to the public that newspapers called independent shall not mislead them by the pub lication Of unjust and sensational charges.
 T know I must expect attack by the press. but why? I have not yet accepted the candidacy, not withstanding that Q multitude Of peo pie all over the state have urged me to do so; but if the people de sire. I will accept it, and you may rest assured that will. if elected, SUI V --t4A 4-s oEaA tA A-4c b-HL ttr- ments in the state who will lend prestige to my administration. whose motto shall be: Without malice for the past and without fear for the future"
 Certainly, the gentlemen who con structs these well-rounded phrases for candidate Orozco is gifted with graces, for no one at all acquainted with the hero of the rev olution would accuse that rugged warrior of being able to sling ink like that
 While it Is no fight of ours and we can look on as an entertained spectator, 1t is a matter Of com mon talk among intelligent oD- servers. that the prime movers iu this scheme to present Orozco as a candidate, are the defeated ma chine and it's entourage, who would play upon the vanity of a brave but misguided man. split in twain the party of reform and un do the work Of tue revolution.

KEEPER PENN MAY
SUCCEED WOOD

To those on the inside looking out,
1t would not be surprising II Major
James b. Wood. superintendent Of the
Virginia penitentiary, were officially
decapitated at the meeting OF the
prison board Saturday afternoon.
They say that the the boot and shoe
company. which leases convict labor in
the prison, is not inclined to favor
Major Wood. They also say that Mr..
Reid r. Penn. one OF the head keepers.
Is most acceptable to the company
However. those who know the men,
bers Of the board do not believe that
the shoe companys preference would
affect them In the least.
The members are not doing any
talking, but they are reported to be
doing a good deal Of thinking among
themselves.
The fact that Mr.. Clyde w. Saun-
ders Is reported to be backing the
candidacy Of Major Wood is under
stood to have complicated matters
somewhat, Mr.. Saunders having also
supported DR.. Darlington. who was re-
Gently ousted from the position OF
prison surgeon.
The election of superintendent mus
take place not later than December
ist next.

his eye on the place good and hard.

The exact number of prisoners in
the Jail become known yesterday
when City Attorney Pollard called up
the bastle over the phone and piled
a few questions to the custodian who
answered the call. 1t developed that
160 prisoners are male and forty-four
female.
Not only were there no city pris-
oners In the bastile, ii was explained,
but there had been none in the place

Some OF the prisoners are sent down
from the Hastings Court and the
others from Squire crutchfield's court
All prisoners, except those convicted
of violating city ordinance and SEN
fenced to jail. are denominated as
State prisoners. whether they come
from one court or the other.
ANY workhouse established under
the law as 1t now stands would be q

TO Mr.. Vonderlehr yesterday.
However. by proper charter amend

Mr.. Pollard feels sure that there will
be no legal obstacle inthe way OF the

The workhouse ordinance. with a
clause providing for charter amend
ment. was recently recommended to
