BIG DAMAGE SUIT
AGAINST w. & A.

A suit for twenty thousand dollars
damages for alleged personal injuries
has been filed against the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Company by Garnett
C. Mason. He claims that while in the
discharge of his duties on top of a
freight train of the defendant company
the train was suddenly stopped by the
engineer without warning and without
cause and that it was such a sudden
shock that he was thrown from the top
of the box car to the ground being
very badly injured. The accident, it is
claimed, happened while the train was
near Elizabeth, Ga, in Cobb County,
on or about the tenth day of March
1911. Mr.. Mason says that he struck
the ground on his back and that he is
permanently injured. He is % years of
age.

THE KENNESAW MONUMENT.

Mr.. w. A. Coursen favors us with
this clipping from the National Trib-
une of Washington:
After II years of effort, the move
ment to erect a monument on the Ken
nesaw Mountain battlefield is in the
way of success. The Illinois legislature
has appropriated 500, 600, and Gov. De-
neen has appointed commission con-
sisting of William A. Payton, Danville;
DR.. j. B. Shawgo, Quincy, and Capt.
Dansing j. Dawdy, Peoria, to carry
out the direction of the legislature.
Commenting on this item Mr.. Cour-
sen says:
"This may indicate one of the first
steps toward military park on Ken
nesaw and fine driveway from the
city around the mountain. If so, we
hope the proper authorities will take
the necessary steps to preserve that
fine long line of earthworks on the
mountain ridge. These works are
much better preserved than those at
Gettysburg or Chicamauga, in fact
there are very few battlefelds that can
show any better or even as good. That
was grand fight on the mountain and
reflects great credit on the bravery of
the American soldier"

AUSTELL BANK BLOWN
OPEN AND ROBBED
Cracksmen Were Profess
SIGNALS and Made Good
Get Away.

Four professionalyeggrnen blew open
the safe in the Austell Bank on Mon
day morning at half past one o'clock,
secured money and jewelry worth
about So, 500 and escaped. The robbers
entered the bank by breaking open the
door. Two of the party stood guard
on the outside while two worked on the
safe in the bank. The first explosion
did not break the safe open and two
other charges were fired. When the
first explosion took place Jesse West
moreland, night telegraph operator at
the railroad block station, stepped out
on the platform of his Office and was
fired upon by one of the men outside
the bank. He did not dare go back
outside his Office but watched the men
until they left the bank. He says
there were four men in the party.
The robbers went from Austell to
Floyd's station on the Seaboard Air
Line railroad broke open the railroad
tool house and stole a hand car. They
are supposed to have gone to Atlanta
but all trace of them has been lost.

FIRE AT MR.. ROBERTS HOME
ON KENNESAW AVENUE

Saturday morning fire was discoy-
cred in linen closet under the front
staircase in the residence of Mr.. George
Roberts. Mrs. Roberts was not at
home and little Pearl Roberts was the
first to notice the flames. The cook
sent in an alarm to which the firemen
quickly responded. The handsome
staircase and several doors opening
into the hall were ruined. The ascend
ing heat broke window panes and mir
rors in the upstairs rooms. Lace cur
tains were also scorched until, they
were ruined although they did not blaze.
Mr.. Roberts estimates the entire loss
at between five and eight hundred dol
lars. The house is new and elegant
and the loss is therefore more than it
would have been otherwise.

The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1912-08-30

siderable discussion has been had
as to what constitutes hit. Harry
Wright, an authority on scoring
gives the following as the rules for
scoring hits and errors:
A base hit should be scored in
the following cases: 1. When the
ball from the bat strikes the ground
between the foul lines and out of
the reach of the fielders. 2. When
a hit is wholly or partially stopped
by a fielder in motion, but such
player cannot recover himself in
time to handle the ball before the
striker reaches first base. 8. When
the ball is hit so sharply to an in
fielder that he cannot handle it in
time to put out man. In case
of doubt over this class of hit, give
the fielder the benefit, and score a
base hit. 4. When a ball is hit
so slowly toward fielder that he
cannot reach it before the batsman
is safe"
An error should be given for
each mis-play which allows the
striker or base-runner to make one
or more bases, when perfect play
would have insured his being put
out"

ELY IT AGAIN
Take Another Game from
Fast WintOn Bunch

Last Sunday on the Winton
grounds, Ely again demonstrated
the fact to the Winton players and
fans that they could play a little
bit of baseball. Nine innings, six
of which were of the league order,
forcibly impressed on the spectat-
ors that the teams were evenly
matched, with Ely having just a
shade the best of the argument.
The game was attended by every
one that could possibly get there
and the gate receipts were ample.
Martin, the first man up for Ely
slammed out two-bagger, the
first ball thrown being picked out
for this purpose. Two others got
on bases in this inning but the side
was retired without a score. Byers
who was on the mound for Winton
kept the boys we'll in hand and had
it not been for his excellent work
a disastrous score would have re-
suited. All conceded that the
support accorded him was not of
the kind that wins games.
Williamson pitched a good steady
game for Ely and his support was
of the best. Martin behind the
bat made some phenomenal stops
and his pegging was good. The
Ely infeld played errorless ball up
to the seventh inning after which a
few mishaps nearly started things
but the boys again frightened up
and had the game we'll in hand in
the next. Bartol the new one on
the Ely team showed he was made
of the proper stuff as did also Nee
han of Virginia playing left field
for Ely.
The lineup and score by innings
as given by the score book was as
follows:
