ROCK ISLAND WRECK KILLS ONE
Light Engines Crash Into No. 8 at
Ramah, Colo.

A flagman named Windsor of Good
land, Kan, was killed in Rock Is
land wreck at Ramah, Colo, Tuesday
night when two light engines ran into
the head end of No. 8, a passenger
train going east. A number of pas
sengers on No. 8 were shaken up but
none seriously. The front ends of
two locomotives were smashed-also
the head vestibule of a car on the pas
Senger train.
Two engines at Arriba out of water
made a run to Ramah where a Rock
Island watering tank is located. The
engineer of the head engine did not
see No. s standing at the water tank
because of the binding snow and al
lowed his two engines to smash into
the locomotive of the passenger train.
Ramah and Arriba are located not
far east of Colorado SPRINGS. The two
stations are between Colorado Springs
and Limon. Officials of the Rock Is
land in Topeka say that the trains
were delayed only a short time.

Most of US get old, feet first. The
bunions get stale, more wearisome
and painful. Corns get harder and
more stubborn as the feet become
more tender. At a time when old
people need their feet most, they can
use them less-unless they use TIZ.
If you have never used TIZ before.
your first use of it will bring back
some of your girlhood days. TIZ will
make your feet feel young, strong and
vigorous. They'll never be tender,
never chafe or ache, never get blister
ed or swollen, and your corns. bun
ions and callouses will be no more.
Nothing will do 1t or can do 1t like
TTZ. Don't experiment with other
things; other people have done that
for you and they are all now using TIZ.
TTZ acts on a new principle-draws
out all the poisonous exudations that
make foot troubles.

eminence unless they meet with the general
approval, not of individuals only, but of the many
who have the happy faculty of selecting and en-
joying the choicest products. Their commenda-

Roy Hartzell, the Colorado boy who
first made his reputation playing for
the Denver Grizzlies, last year made
a unique batting record in the Anne l.
can League while playing with the
New York Highlanders.
Interesting statistics on pinch hit
ting in the American League in 1911
have been prepared by Ernest J. LAM
gan. They show that the single spec
tacuIar feat of the season was the per-
Torrance of HartzeI in batting IN
eight runs in one game-and it was
against his old team, the Browns, thai
he did 1t.
The record for opportune clubbing
was made on July II in st. Louis. In
this game, which New York won, II
to 2, Hartzell twice swept the popula-
ted bases clean with long smashes and
also hit a long fly that allowed a man
to score from third. In the third in
ming Hartzell hit for two bases, scor-
ing three men; in the seventh he hit
his long fly and in the eighth he h1r
a home run.
Word has been received in Denver
that Chick Hartman, formerly short
stop and third baseman on the Denver
Grizzlies, has been signed by the Mon
treal club of the International League.
Chick played in Denver three years ago,
later going to Sioux City, where he
played during the past two seasons.
He is a crack fielder and is slowly but
surely pulling up his batting average.
The only thing that caused his release
locally was inexperience, which he has
since overcome
