week the case of Jake Stahl, recently
signed as manager of the Boston
American club, will come up
Stahl is an ineligible player in the
eyes of the base ball commission, by
virtue of his failure to report for play

Knocked From His Seat by Explosion
He Set Air Brakes.
Atchison, Kan, Dec. "a wreck that
might have resulted disastrously was
narrowly averted by Talbot Henry, a
Missouri Pacific engineer, as he was
pulling his train, passenger No. 103
from Kansas City, into the Atchison
yards at 11:15 Thursday morning.
Running at a speed estimated at 40
miles an hour, the packing in the throt-
tie of the locomotive pulling No. 103,
blew out. filling the cab with steam and
blowing Mr.. Henry's face full of asbes-
tos packing.
Realizing that the train would be
certain to into the ditch when it
hit the curves in the yards unless the
speed was checked, Mr.. Henry got up
from the floor where he was knocked
by the explosion, took a. pick and be-
gan a search in the steam filed cab
for the lever with which he put on the
air to stop the train. In the mean
time the fireman crawled back over
the tender where he intended to put
on the brakes, but before he had time
to do so, Engineer Henry struck the
air lever with the pick. The train
came to a sudden stop and Engineer
Henry fell from the cab. He was pick
ed up by passenger, J. V. Scott, for
merly of " aterville, but now OF Kan
sas City, and taken to the baggage car.

DOESN'T INTEND TO
OBEY HER HUSBAND
Ez
Suffragette and D. G. Mac
Lean, New York, In
formally Wed.
(National News Association

NEW YORK, Sept. Mrs. Freda
Ke1lar Mclean, ardent supporter of
the woman's suffrage movement, does
not intend to be forced to obey her
husband, Donald c. MacLean, and
therefore objected to the clause in the
ceremony whereby she would
have to pledge herself to obedience.
So today the couple are man and wife,
held together by a simple written con-
tract in which they declare their in
tention of living together as man and
wife.
For long time the bride held strong
views on this subject and some time
ago when MacLean asked her to be-
come his wife she consented provided
he find way to be married without
obtaining marriage license.
MacLean racked his brain and final.
ly consulted a lawyer. As the result
the couple signed marriage contract
in the presence of two witnesses as
provided under the amended contract
marriage law of 1907. The couple i'm.
mediately left the city on their honey
moon without the formality of a mar
riage ceremony, for as required by
law, the marriage contract was filed in
the county clerks Office.
