Final standing OF the Teams

old superstition here on the eastern
slope that we could have cherry
year only one season in seven for tho
truth works out in practically the re-
verse ratio. As a fruit for home use
II has few equals. since It comes Z
time when there are few fresh fruits
and by use OF good selection OF va
rleiies II can be made to cover n pert
cd OF two months. For commercial
same reasons as well as on account
the highly remunerative returns thar
may be expected. The principal draw
back to the extensive culture OF this
fruit is the difficulty Of securing pick
ers.

of the best games OF the season. and

The Presbyterian boys won the Lo--
Ing Cup with a $50 per cent. They
won it because they played a little
better ball than the other teams. Their
men were excellent batters and field
ers. Their pitching force did splendid
work and no little credit is due Dun
can. catcher and manager. for the sue
cess of the team. These players were
practically always present. They
played together all season and played
to win. They did not lay down. They
were always agreeable. and won tho
admiration OF the spectators
The Catholics finished in second
place. They. too. had a good team
and used largely the same men
throughout the season Team play
was an asset, and what they got they
won fairly. In fact this is true OF
all the teams They have all done
themselves honor. but OF course could
not all be top-notchers. The Meth
odist and Christian teams had a hard
time of II because OF their lineup hav-
ing to be changed so often on account
Of their men leaving the city or being
obliged to work during playing hours
Early in the season the Baptists were
up against difficulties which compeIl-

as great this year as it was the two
previous seasons. yet the League has
been n success Much credit is due

There will be a few practice games
throughout the remainder OF the sea-

WRECK VICTIMS
ABLE TO TALK
AND Give NAMES
(from Saturdays Daily.)

~ <V&ss y DahfsV
The men who were injured In the
wreck of yesterday morning about
a quarter of mile from Gorge sta
ton in the Royal Gorge we're able 70
talk last night and identifications were
made complete.
The man that was killed was John
J. Smith of Fayetteville. Georgia. lie
was about twenty-seven years OF age.
Yesterday morning when the report
came into the local telegraph office
IT was stated that one man was killed
and two injured.
Preparations were Immediately male
to take care OF the two Injured men
and a box was sent out to bring the
dead man In. There is no telephone
connection between the point OF the
wreck and Canon City and word OF the
mishap had to be brought b. train
This made details OF the affair very
meager.
The rescue train went to the scene
st 10: 30. Jus, twenty-five minutes after
the accident occurred. When DR.. Lit
tie and Undertaken Wilson and Agent
Wood arrived they expected to find
a dead man and two Injured. Imagine
their surprise when they pulled the
supposed dead man ou; from under
the debris and found that he still lived.
n was with some difficulty that they
managed to take care of the three tn
jured men In as careful a manner rs
possible.
Smith. though alive. was 50 badly
injured that he could not live and he
died about an hour after reaching the
hospital The ether two men gave
their names as Moran Cornwall Of
Chicago. aged 2i. and George Luby
OF West 3sth avenue. Denver. age -.
Cornwall was badly bruised and had
his knee badly wr.nched. Lnby had
his foot crushed. Both men we're 10
the back part OF the car and thus did
not bear the brunt OF the dash into
the river as did Smith.
The dead man was buried under
large amount OF debris and his life
was practically crushed out OF him.
II seems remarkable. so state those
who saw him lying in the wreckarr.
that he lived as long as he did.
1t was because OF the large amouat
OF heavy material that was lying up
on him that the report became cur
rent that he was dead. The railroad
men could not get to him at first be.
cause OF the heavy rush OF water that
comes down the Arkansas at that
point 1t was not until after the res
cue train arrived that means we're
obtained by which he could be taken
from his death dealing position.
Smiths folks have been notified AMI
II Is expected that they viii come and
take charge OF his body.
The wreck OF yesterday Is the FIRST
mishap OF that nature that has taken
place In about a year About that
length OF time ago a young boy was
caught in a similar accident and had
his leg taken on from the effects II
which he died.

WATER
IN JAMES RIVER

For the protection OF the waters OF
rivers which form the water supply
Of cities, bills Were introduced in the
house yesterday to require plants
whose products pollute such streams
to purify the water at their own cx-
pense. under the direction Of the state
Board of Health. While the bills are
general. they are evidently intended
to apply In the main to James River
and to Richmond. since the patrons
are Senator 4. c. Hartman and Dele
gates John a. Curtis, James J. Cream
or. Edwin =. Cox. John S. IIarwood
and Hill Montague, all of this city.
1t is stated That pulp plants near the
head of the river are Offenders.
The bill says: Every person who
shall maintain manufacturing cs-
Establishment from which deleterious
noNious or unhealthy waste material
may flow or be placed in any river
or stream or tributary of any such
river or stream IN the Commonwealth
from which any city or town obtains
It's water supply for domestic pur-
poses, shall establish and maintain, un-
der rules and regulations TO be pre-
scribed by the State Board OF Health,
suitable and efficient plant or plants
for the publication OF said waste ma
terial. so as to prevent possible poIlu-
ton of waters flowing in such rivers
or streams or the tributaries thereof"
A fine of from S25 to 800 daily is pro-
vided for violation.
