Duluth Must Depend on Reservoirs
Until Damage is Repaired.

Duluth, Dec. 2S.-Duluth may go
dry" within a day or two, owing to
a break In the big forty-two-inch steel
water main, the main pipe feed from
the pumping station to the reservoirs.
The main broke early in the morning
and before the pumps could be stopped
1t had flooded a large district in the
East end of the city.
The reservoirs carry water sufi-
cient for two or three days consump-
ton, but a big fire would quickly ex-
haust the supply. The break probably
can be repaired before there is any
serious inconvenience from shortage
of water.

DREAMS OF DEATH
Nebraska Woman In Cataleptic
State From the
Shock

Lincoln, Neb., Dec. 2s.-Mrs. K.
K. Cleaveland, wife of an Atchison
railway conductor. has been lying for
several days in a cataleptic sleep at a
Lincoln hospital, as the result of a
nervous shock caused by a dream that
she was dying.
Mrs. Cleaveland was taken i'll in
Atchison seven day ago, but when the
physicians there announced they could
do nothing for her she was brought to
Lincoln. She arrived in an unconsci-
Gus condition. from which she was
aroused twice in the next three DAYS.
after which she sank into her present
state. The doctors decline to predict
what will happen. She may die any
moment. and she may recover.
Several weeks ago the wife of an
orphan boy who had been reared In
the Cleaveland family was taken i'll.
Mrs. Cleaveland nursed her. The case
developed into one of uremic poison.
ing. the girl losing her mind and dy-
ing in spasms.
Mrs. cleveland was greatly shaken
by the sights she witnessed at the
girls bedside, but the night after
the funeral she was apparently In
normal health. She and her husband
went to church afterwsrd, retiring at
Dab o'clock. At IL o'clock her hus-
band was awakened by the frenzied
grasp of bis wife on his arm. She said
she had just had a horrible dream, in
which she again saw all of the agon-
les of the dying girl, only that it
was herself she saw lying upon the
bed.
The was greatly shaken and
ten minutes later was taken with a
chill. Finally a doctor was called,
but by that time she was unconscious
and all efforts 10 arouse her were futile.
The doctors said they had read of cases
where q dream IF such vivid and ter
iifying character produced a ner vous
shock that threatened and sometimes
caused death. They advised that the
woman be brought to Lincoln, the
former home of the Cleavelands.
Nearly eve doctor in Lincoln has
been drawn by scientific curiosity to
call on the patient, but not one has
admitted having seen any similar case.
All declare the woman's condition to
be the result of the nervous shock,
as diagnosed by the Atchinson doctors.
Cleaveland is a veteran railroad
man, having served on the Burlington
railroad for forty years. The young
woman whose death caused the elder
woman's illness was the wife of the
fireman on Cleayeland's run, and was
regarded by them as u daughter of
the family.
The doctors believe the shock caused
n congestion of blood on the brain,
and the patients head is being kept
packed in ice.

SPARE THE BIRDS
North Dakota Agricultural Col
lege Makes Plea in
Their Favor

Fargo, N. D., Dec. 2S.-Better pro-
lection for and the preseI walton of the
bird life of North Dakota, and for that
purpose the study Of birds, are strongly
urged in a bulletin inst issued by DR..
w. r. Bell of the North Dakota agIi-
cultural college. The doctor is at the
head of the biological work and his
bulletin is made the special feature of
the last issue of the Extension.
While North Dakota is not supposed
to have a wide variety of bird life, the
Investigations of the biological survey
of the federal government has disclosed
there are over $40 varieties seen here
during the year. AT least sixteen
varieties remain here through the
winter.
The bulletin endeavors to reach the
boys and impress them with the value
of bird life in the destruction of seeds,
insects and small mammals that are a
constant menace to property, especially
grain. OF all the varieties of bird life
outside of game birds, the bulletin
urges warfare on only the English spar
rows. hlackbird and crow, the sharp
skinned hawk and the great horned
owls. All the rest, even other varie-
ties of hawks and owls, are shown to
have great value in the destruction of
mice and insects.
The state has a game association
which protects birds of value to sports
men. The North Dakota Audubon So
ciety seeks to preserve other bird life
and has a large membership over the
state.
There are national and state game
reservations at Stump lake, Nelson
county; Chase lake. Stutsman county,
and Bird island in Devils Lake. Resi-
dents of the Turtle mountain country
and certain districts of the Missouri
slope dsmand reservations there and
they may BE- created.
The federal department has men on
a biological survey of the state VINO
have discovered many varieties of birds
not popularity known to visit this
state even temporarily.

ASK STEWARDS
To INVESTIGATE
SWEEPER||R RACE
By G. w. Williams.

U ONDON, June cat was
learned today that the stew
ards of the Jockey club have
been asked to conduct an inquiry
into the running of the American
colt Sweeper II in the derby. AS
mentioned after that race, Sweep
er II did not run within fourteen
pounds of his real worth, and APP
peared to be "doped" That per-
Torrance is still main topic
among the members of the turf
world
The one name most frequently
mentioned in, connection with the
race is Danny Maher, who rode the
colt. The American rider feels
keenly the slight put upon him
when Duryea engaged frankie
O'Neill to ride for the stable dur
ing the remainder of the season.
One Of the leading sporting jour
nails comes out with the following
editorial:
er II ran like a dead horse in the
derby and considering that in his
trials he showed such remarkable
performances, 1t is in all fairness
to his owner, trainer and jockey
that an investigation be held. Mr..
Duryea Is on terms OF personal
friendship with most members of
the Jockey club, and his influence
is powerful. 1t is only proper that
some action should be taken to
stop the many reports that are be-
ing circulated about the race"
This journal also asserts that
before the rider for Sweeper II
was definitely decided upon a lead
ing bookmaker evinced anxiety
many times and tried his best to
find out the rider selected.

CINCINNATI June 22.--Miss May
Sutton will play in the annual tri-
state tennis championship tournament,
which will be held at the Cincinnati
Tennis club from June 90 to July 6.
All doubt over Peerless Mays entry
vanished yesterday when the commit
tee in charge of the tourney received
a note from her stating that there is
nothing which could keep her from
coming here. Miss Sutton is now in
the East She will play in the Clay
Court championships at Pittsburg,
which wind up on the day the local
tourney starts. 1t will be the first time
in four years that Miss Sutton, still the
best of all of the feminine racquet
wielders, has taken part in the tri-
state. Along with Miss Sutton, Miss
Brown, of the Pacific coast, may also
come. Miss Brown won the women's
national title at Philadelphia last week
by defeating Miss Elanore Sears, of
Boston. An effort will be made to Sc
cure Miss Sears entry, along with sew
eral of the other female stars.

Killing READY TO QUIT;
DOESN'T LIKE J. WARD

BOSTON, MASS, June 22.-John
King is about to retire as manager of
the Boston National league club and,
in fact, may quit the game altogether,
according to a we'll authenticated re-
port. King is in trouble with the local
club just as he was in Chicago for sew
eral years.
The retirement microbe has followed
King here and apparently the famous
catcher has been stung again. 1t is re-
ported that the trouble has been be-
tween King and John Montgomery
Ward, president of the club King S
friends say Ward was out of date and
wanted to conduct the team on meth
DDS in vogue twenty years ago.
Ward is too old ia shioned. He only

According to Kings friends, they
would not be the least surprised if
Johnny should go marching home be-
fore the Braves begin their next inva-
sion of the Western section of the
Lynch circuit. They state that they
believe that King will turn in his uni
form before that time

ening the tail-end Volunteers has
just been made. He has practical
ly closed a deal with Brooklyn for
the purchase of Pitcher Morrow, a
big left handler from Perdpe uni
versity, who is said to have very
bright future before him. Morrow
took the spring training trip with
the Trolley Dodgers and made a
favorable impression, although he
was not looked upon as ripe for the
big tent He was discovered by
Larry Sutton, scout of Brooklyn,
and that well known authority de-
clared while in this city some time
ago that he would make a wonder
in Glass A ball.
1t is generally conceded here that
the Volunteers need strengthen
ing in more ways than one. A
good pitcher will help, but the fail-
ure of Second Baseman Perry and
Third Baseman Mcdonald to live
up to expectations has been the
severest blow to the local manager.
Perry last year was one Of the best
hitters in the league and a classy
fielder. This year he has gone
back rapidly and no longer seems
fit for this company.
If Schwartz can land a compe-
tent second sacker in the near flu
ture, he will probably let Perry go.

Lack of speed is the chief thing
that is hurting the locals chances
this year, and unless some new
blood is infused into the lineup the
fans have little hope of pulling off
the bottom. The Vols can boast
of no good base runners. and most
of them are extremely weak in this
department of the game.
