Plunging backward into the creek
fifty feet below and piling in a heap
of wreckage yesterday afternoon, the
new threshing outfit of James Nc
Quade of Lorraine, ILL.,, was ruined and

at the foot of College hill in Warsaw.
The accident happened about 4 o'clock
and attracted quite a number of peo-

McQuade had been threshing in the
vicinity of Warsaw and was taking
his outfit to the farm of John Filz to
thresh some clover. He was on the
seat of the engine and was accom-,

College hill is an extremely steep
one, two sharp inclined meeting at
the little bridge which crosses a deep
ravine. The hill is In process of re-

led with small pieces Of macadam,
this not having yet been rolled.
The engine had come down one
side Of the bill, crossed the bridge and
started up the incline on the other
side. When the wheels struck this
new macadam, they were unable to
get a grip and wore rut in the loose
rocks. Finally striking The clay I'M
derneath, the sudden shock pulled the
gearing out of place and the outfit
began to back down the hill toward

Strange Story Comes
From New York City
About Reno Dragging

New York. Aug. 16.-The direct stat.-
ment that James J. Jeffries. after his de-
feat by Jack johnson at Reno. sought
and secured proof that he had been
drugged before the battle with the negro
is made in signed article written by a
New York sporting editor. and published
in an evening paper today.
The statement follows in part:
"Jeffries hired one of the greatest de-
tective agencies in the world to run
down the facts. The details gathered
make up a complete story of the most
sordid plot that ever turned fair sport
into a sure thing gamble. Possibly John
son would have won in any case, but tn
a certainty by drugging Jeffries with the
help of men who were in his confidence
and who had the run of his camp.
They cleaned up fortune through bet
ting commissioners stationed in many
cities In Paris alone, they wagered s2i.-
600 and won $4,000. In Reno and San
Francisco and Los Angeles and New
