Political and industrial conditions

Three Hurt in Runaway.


Dragged ninety feet over the Nor
folk avenue brick pavement after be-
ing thrown from her seat in buggy,
Mrs. Charles Murphy of Elrod, S. D.,
never once let loose of her year-old
baby boy until her grasp was loosened
by the contact of the wagon striking
against a high step at Norfolk avenue
and Fifth street. The baby boy is
badly hurt 1t was believed that at
least one limb was broken. Mrs. Muir
ply is probably hurt internally. The
left side of her face was badly bruis-
ed. Her 7-year-old daughter, Ruth
Murphy, has some minor bruises and
Mrs. Burrill Reed is suffering from a
nervous shock and some bruises as
the result of the runaway accident,
which occurred at 100 Friday after
noon.
Mrs. Murphy and her two children
have been visiting at the Reed farm
for several days. Mrs. Reed brought
them to the city to catch the train for
their home in South Dakota. The sim
gle buggy was filled with baggage and
| trunk. The two women, Mrs Muir
ply holding the baby in her arms and
Mrs. Reed holding the 7-year-old girl,
sat in the seat. When Sixth street
and Norfolk avenue was reached a
bolt in the shafts slipped out and the
! vehicle was forced to the sidewalk on
| the south side of the street. The con
tinual humping of the end of the
shafts on the pavement frightened the
horse. The axle was striking the an
imal on the legs. Mrs. Reed tried tC
stop the horse but the punishment il
was receiving from the axle had Its
effect and Mrs. Murphy was thrown
out with her babe in her arms.

PIay Purely for Sport.


The Norfolk ball players, under the
ford, Secretary Hulac and Treasurer
Zuelow, went into the game from the
start with the avowed purpose of not
hiring any outside players, excluding
a pitcher at frequent intervals. The
game was played this way and only a
few weeks ago one or two paid players
were added to the lineup. The home
players were satisfied to play the
game and share alike at the end of
the season should there remain any
thing in the treasury. If they found
the sack empty, they have declared
throughout the season that they would
be satisfied with the sport they have
had on the diamond. The Norfolk
ball fans have appreciated this enthu-
siasm by appearing on the roofing line
in large numbers.
