When Sam buried Jawn O'Brien IN

Sam will have to fill out the original

Sam will be the leading attraction at
the funeral services. but as poor Yor1ck

The worst of it is that most these old

some dear friends should whisper to
them to turn over and wake up. There
are very few real good fighters now
in sight, and If the veterans clambered
back, Zowfe, 1t would be awful. Their

The Pirates have been Slumpin
frightfully recently, and Dreyfuss and

bolster UP the team before the three
quarter pole is reached III the big Ma
tional chase The Pirates were going
fine during the latter part OF July and
first of August. but something has
happened to the machine In the last
few DAYS. They win once in a while,
but the pennant race will require bet
ter work on the part OF the Dreyfusites
If they expect to win the trophy
With only three slab men on the
mound for the slumping Pirates. the
work upon this trio naturally calls in
the aid of Marty O'Toole. O'Toole has
one system of pitching. He has fast
ball with a hop on it, and a spit ball,
and he has enough sense to mix them
iudiciously. He goes through the ect
of moistening every ball he throws, but
of course, only about three out of 10
are the real saliva slants. Marty
starts by wetting the third finger OF
his pitching hand, and when he lets go
OF the ball you can hear the snap,
feature that inevitably warns the bat
ter. but in vain. O'Toole has the big
gest break on his delivery any pitcher
ever possessed, as he starts the ball at
the letters on the batter's shirt, and
the catcher usually catches the ball
below the strikers knees. With Mar
" in the box a weak batter mas as
much show as a 800 man, as the only
thing to do is to stand up to the pan
and swing three times, and take long
chance on connecting.

the Pirates this year to Kansas CITY,
NAV be called back. He has recently
nitched three two-hit games IN sue

Victim is Dragged From His Hiding
Place, Hanged, and, at Signal,
Filled With Bullets by In
furiated Citizens.

Livermore, Ky.-Will Potter, a ne
gro. was the central figure in a trag-
edy when SO citizens dragged him
upon the opera house stage and, after
hanging him, riddled the body with
bullets.
Potter had shot and killed Frank
Mitchell, % years old, while in a quar-.
rel.
What the pair quarreled about is not
known. A pistol shot was heard and
the negro was seen fleeing from the
scene.
News spread rapidly that Mitchell
had been killed and the citizens be-
gan searching for Potter. All were
armed, and 1t was freely stated that
if Potter was caught he would be
lynched.
Potter was captured by Marshal V.
P. Stabler and placed in the city Jail.
Hearing the mob approaching, the
marshal swore in half a dozen depu.
| ties, and the prisoner was rushed to
the opera house, where he was hid
den beneath the stage. A messenger
was sent for the sheriff, but before he
arrived the mob had taken the place
and the negro had been captured.
Cringing from terror, the black was
dragged from his hiding place.
He was taken upon the stage and
tied securely to n of the uprights
while the mob gathered in the orches
ira pit below.
A signal was given and the bod!
was riddled with bullets.
A few minutes later the mob stole
quietly from the playhouse and the
drama was over
