Highlanders, springs one which pre-

old players are better card players than
the recruits and to trim the recruits

will cause ill feeling. On account of
this he believes the club will get better
service if the game is not permitted.

CHARLES KENNEDY K|[&ED
At Andrews-One Man Kiiiled
Another Seriously Injured.

One of the most horrible a)ecl
dents that has occurred in thisi vi
entity for a number of years tPot
place yesterday morning, about hail
past seven O'Clock, when the boflel
| in the saw mill of Frank Ritfen
house, located at Andrews, ahls
county, exploded, killing the efgi
neer and sawyer, Charles Kennedy
of Windy Point, Talbot county, Tn-
stantIy. and blowing Lewis EnSle
who happened to be near, distance
Of fifteen or twenty feet, infllc61Re
serious injuries about his head
and back
So far as can be learned, the ae-
cident, which occurred IN t he woRd,
about three or four hundred yards
in the rear of the general store of
r. L. simmons & Co., at Andrews,
was the result of having too much
steam on the boiler, the gage of
which, apparently. failed to register
the real amount carried.
Mr. Kennedy, who was killed,was
employed by Mr.. Rittenhouse as en-
gineer and sawyer. At the time of
the accident he was working on the
injector. trying to get it to work,
so as to put more water in the
boiler, although the glass showed
from enc to two inches of water at
the time, and the steam gauge
registered 80 lbs of steam. Sud-
denly, without any warning what
ever, the boiler exploded, horribly
mangling the unfortunate man and
killing him instantly.
Mr.. Engle, who was at slight
distance from the boiler, was hurled
by the force of the explosion a dis
lance of fifteen or twenty feet, right
through the carriage of the saw
mill, and it is possible that some of
his injuries were received in this
way. His wounds consist of a bad
ly cut head and fourteen holes in
the back, besides being badly shak-
en- up by the force of the explosion.
He was taken to his home nearby
and has been under the care of
physicians, and is reported as get
ting along very we'll.
Illustrating the force of the ex-
plosion is the fact that an oak tree,
fifteen inches in diameter, which
was located some distance away was
cut squarely off, as if with a saw
The whole end of the boiler blew
out, and the boiler, as well as the
engine used for saving, was COM
pletely demolished.
That more persons were not ill-
jured seems miraculous, as five or
six men are employed around the
mill. The accident occurred about
half-past seven o'clock in the morIl-
ing, just after the time for starting
up, and, as a rule, the men may be
found in the near vicinity of the
boiler and engine. Only one Other
man, however, was injured, he be-
ing Joseph Moore, who was slight
ly injured on the head

was purchased by Mr.. Frank Ritssn-
house, and it was his mill that was
saving the lumber. The explosion
caused so great noise that many
of the people could not conjecture
what had happened until they be-
gan to make an investigation for
the purpose of ascertaining.
The remains of Mr.. Kennedy were
brought to Cambridge and were
shipped to his home at Windy Hill.
He was young man, being only
about twenty-one years of age, and
much sympathy is felt for his
family.

Garrison has declined a request of the

have some Of it's ordnance officers in
spect the processes of American Pow
der manufacture. The original re-
quest covers not only the government
factories, but the great private cor
porations which make the larger part
of the smokeless powder of the gov.
ernment. The secretary's declination
as to the government factories was
based on the lack of reciprocity on
the French government, which has de-
clined to allow American ordnance Of

VILLA WILL GET
HELP OF D0ZAL
MAN WHO PROPOSES TO ATTACK
JuAREZ TO HAVE ADDITION
AL FIELD PIECES

FL Paso, Tex, July I4.-Juan Dozal,
chief of staff for Francisco Villa, is
today at Nogales, Sonora, consulting
with Rebel Governor Pesquira reia-
tive to assistance, at least in the
form Of field pieces, for Villas army
in attacking Juarez.
Villa is reported today to have
rushed about 500 Of his command
back to casas Grandes, 150 miles
southeast of Juarez, where on Sat
urday his rebel garrison is reported
to have been attacked by a force Of
independents under Maxine Castillo,
supposed to be operating for the fed
eral government.
TO Americans from El Paso who
called on Toribio Ortega, now at
Guadalupe with 700 men, 40 miles
east Of Juarez. declared he would at
tack Juarez inside Of ten days If
villa did not come in to cooperate
with him. This is hardly considered,
however as the Juarez commanders
claim to have 2,40O available fighters.
