Excelling the Indians in all depart
ments of the game, the Burlington
Cowboys again came off victor in the
second game OF the series at Athle-
tic park yesterday afternoon. They
hit the ball more opportunity, they
fielded in much better style. the
Indians having nine hobbies, and it
was seen from the start that Burling-
ton had the much better chance to
win.
The game was slow requiring over
an hour and forty-five minutes, and
this was largely the fault of some OF
the Keokuk players, who took too
much time in coming UP to the plate,
while poor fielding did the rest.
Umpire Brennan made his initial
appearance and his work seemed very
poor. He made a number of deci-
sions which disguised the crowd.
Once he called Sutton safe at second,
and Clifton out at the plate. when
Sutton lodged Baumann in going to
second and Clifton slid into the plate
and was safe beyond any dough. An.
other time he called Madigan safe at
second when he was plainly out. He
made numerous other poor decisions.
He had just arrived On an afternoon
train and his poor showing may have
been at least partially due to that
fact.
The game itself was farcial in spots

WATTS AT MINE
FOR HUSBAND
Man %Entombed, Wife Hopes
for Rescue.

Chicago, Dec. 27.-Mrs. Henry Luke.
a bride Of a few months, was still ut
her post early today at the mouth Of
the mine at Streator, ILL.,. where on
Tuesday her husband was swallowed
by quicksand when an old shaft caved
In. With despair in every line Of her
young face. she still clings to the hope
that he may be rescued alive and re-
turned to her.
Luke was q trackman on the Santa
Fe railway. Many OF his companions
were near him when the cavein &C.
Cured. but SO quick was the rush Of
the sands that he was buried alive be-
fore they could reach him.
Night and day ever since the accident
scores Of workmen have been endeav-
oring to reach the point where he was
last seen.
No trace of Luke has been discovered.
and hope has been abandoned that he
will cver be taken from the mine alive
by all except his bride.
Mrs. Luke. among the first to arrive
after news OF the accident became
known, has not left the mouth of the
pit for a moment. Her meals have been
brought to her by sympathetic friends.
and she has not closed her eyes in
sleep.
Wrapped In blankets, she sits by the
mine waiting. most Of the time In deep
despair, for news from the men below.
The search will be continued until
Luke Is found, dead or alive.
