Mr.. ". |. PLUMB KILLED

This community vas shocked last
night by the news that Mr.. w. L.
Plumb of Tuscarora had been killed
in an accident about 8 o'clock
Saturday night. The particulars
as we got them from Attorney
Henderson who was at the Spanish
ranch, Saturday night are as
follows:
Mr.. Plumb and Mrs. King. his
daughter, and her baby and Frank
WARDROBE were on the way to
Salmon Basin on camping trip.
There they were to meet Mr.. and
Mrs. Billings, another daughter,
and spend few weeks in hunting
and fishing. They reached Noun
tain City Friday night and left for
the camping ground SATURDAY.
morning.
Mr.. WARDROBE was on horse
back ahead picking out the road
and Mr.. Plumb and Mrs. King and
baby followed in a covered buggy.
When within about fifty yards of
the camping place, the buggy up
set. MIR. Plumb was thrown to the
ground and one Of the ribs in the
buggy top struck him across the
neck, breaking it. Mr.. WARDROBE
had just turned a sharp point in the
road some distance ahead of the
team when he heard the noise
made by the buggy upsetting. He
went back and found Mr.. Plumb
pinned under the buggy, Mrs. King
and child we're unhurt. After
releasing Mr.. Plumb Mr.. WARDROBE
went to Mountain City and tried
to call up DIR. Secor, but W as
unable to get him on account of
the lateness of the hour. He then
called up the Spanish ranch and
asked for Mr.. Carat and informed
him of the accident and asked him
to send his car to Tuscarora for the
doctor. Mr.. Carat and Mr.. Prem
tice, who happened to be at the
ranch, left at once for Tuscarora.
Miss Alma Plumb was informed of
her fathers injuries and begged to
he taken to him. Her request was
finally granted aud after an all
night trip the party reached the
scene of the accident. They found
Mr.. Plumb dead.
1t is thought that Mr.. Plumb
was trying to get out of the buggy
when it turned over. He was con-
scious long enough to say "I'm done
for" His remains were taken tn
Tuscarora yesterday. Mrs. King
and child and Miss Plumb were
taken to Mountain City where
frien ds cared for them.
Tomorrow we will publish a suit
able obituary.

ALMOST SURE OF
REGATTA IN 1913
Prospects Look Good for keokuk
Bringing the Big Events Here
Next Year.

MUSCATINE, March 7.--Keokuk is
letting little Of the verdant grow
under its feet in its endeayors to have
the 1913 M. v. P. A. regatta held in
that city. The program for the
event to be held at Davenport in July
has not even been completed but not
withstanding this, Keokuk has con-
fidently followed certain colonel's
example and thrown its hat in the
ring. Preparations are now being
made by the Keokuk boat club for en-
PERTAINING the hosts in 1913.
That the Keokuk club is a hustler
Is evidenced by it's recent purchase OF
a three acre tract from the Missis-
sippi River Power company A new
club house is also contemplated. The
keokuk organization is not only ex-
pecting to catch the big fish for 1913
but is also completing arrangements
for canoe and skiff regatta to be
held this season. The members OF
the Dam city club are optimistic over
their chances to secure the big event
for next year and will likely attend
the regatta at Davenport in large
numbers in order to make a good
showing.

Sporting Views
By the Editor

Frank Belt, who recently resigned
the management of the Keokuk club
of the Central Association, and an
nounced he has retired from base
ball after % years of service in the
game, was responsible for Captain
Larry Doyle, of the National league
champions, becoming one of baseball's
bright stars. Doyle branched out as a
professional at Mattoon in the Kitty
league in 1905. Nation was In need
of pitcher and appealed to President
Dick Kinsella of the Springfield
Three Eye league team for aid.
kinsella saw chance to make a
bargain when Nation hoisted the
distress sign and struck one. "Ill
let you have a pitcher for the pick of
your team at the end of the season, !"
Kinsella told the Nation people. His
offer was accepted and Pitcher
Jokerst was sent to the Kitty league
team by Springfield.
DOYLE didn't do well with Nation
that season. Kinsella had not even
considered him in deciding what play
.er to pick. He had almost made up
his mind to take veteran pitcher
who he thought could give Springfield
at least one seasons good work, when
he ran into Belt one day. Belt was
managing the Jacksonville team of
the Kitty league at that time.
Have yon seen Doyle play quer-
lied Beli
NO" anwsered Kinsella.
Well DOM pick any one until you
/ do and then pick him. He's the coming
ball player Of that club. He hasn't
looked good in the box scores, but
hes there any way you take him.

Forest.

Athletes from three states who par
ticipate in the Fifth Annual Tri-State
Track and Field Meet in Keokuk on
May 4 will be guests of honor at a
ball given in the evening at Armory
hall, according to an announcement
made today by Hugh Robertson, who
is chairman of the committee which
has the entertaining features in
charge.
The ball, according to tentative
plans outlined, will easily eclipse
those that have been given in previ-
GUS years. The committee is web
pleased that the Armory hall can be
secured, because 1t will enable them
to carry out extensive decorative
plans. The ball room will be decorat-
ed in purple and white, and promises
to be very beautiful. The large club
room adjoining which will be used
for the reception OF the guests will
be transformed into a forest, with
decorations of an original design
everywhere.
The reception Of the visiting attn
letes will begin about eight o'clock
in the evening and the dance program
will begin about half hour later.
The medals will be presented by
Principal r. L. Reid of the Keokuk
high school. sample medal has been
received and meets with perfect salts
faction It is slightly different from
those OF previous years, and are the.
regulation gold, silver and bronze for
first second and third place In each
event. In addition to the silver loving
cup for teom winner of the meet, there
will be Individual prizes and a special
prize for the relay.
With one hundred and seventy-five
schools invited it is believed the
meet will attract the largest entry
list in It's history. Last year about
twenty-five schools participated, but
It was difficult to draw more for the
reason that the records were very
poor. At the fourth annual meet, how
ever, every tri-state record was brok-
en- and some good marks hung up.
Poor records will no longer be an
obstacle to some of the leading High
schools in this section.
Manager Arthur Morgan has secur-
ed much publicity for the meet SO far,
news stories having appeared in
many of the larger and smaller pa
pers. 1t is expected that Des Moines
High schools may send teams to par
ticipate.
