SLIGHTLY IMPROVED


Jelloway, o., Aug. 26-After passing
night as restful as could be expect
ed under the circumstances, Mrs. Hen
ry Motz of this place, who was ter
ribly gored about the body Saturday
evening by an angry bull, and who
sustained a fractured skull by being
struck on the head by the animals
hoofs, is in a very slightly improved
condition. Most of the time she is un
conscious but is only semi-conscious
At no time since the accident has she
been able to speak.
The young son whom the mother
sacrificed herself TO save from the
bull, is recovering rapidly from the
effects of his experience. His injuries
are not of a serious nature.

Death
Comes To Brother Of Mrs.
Barbara Garlic Of This City
The Result Of An Accident In
Columbus, Ohio

| Peter Merkle, brother of Mrs. Bar
bara Carrie of this city, died in Grant
hospital, Columbus, Tuesday morning
at $3.50 o'clock, the result Of an ac-
cident which he sustained last Satur.
day.
The Columbus Journal of Tuesday
morning gave the following account
Of the accident:
To surgeons at Grant Hospital the
case of Peter Merkle. aged 20 years,
presents a rare condition of injury.
Mr.. Merkle is in serious condition
as a result of peculiar accident he
suffered last Saturday night while
trying to board car at Oak street
and Parsons Avenue. He was dragged
about 80 fet, but succeeded in getting
on the car. Immediately he began
suffering abdominal pain and left the
car at Grant Avenue and visited the
office of DR.. II. W. Whitaker. After
being moved to this home, DR.. T.
w. INdllhln WaO Cdllth III tODSulIdllOU.
Mr.. Merkle did not respond to treat
ment and DR.. J. F. Baldwin twas
called as surgical consultant yester-
day. 1t was apparent to the physi-
clans that Mr.. Merkle was suffering
with an abdominal calamity and an
immediate surgical operation was
deemed advisable.
On opening Mr.. Merkle's abdomen
at Grant Hospital, II was found that
a hole had been torn in one of the
intestines and that general peritoni-
tbs had developed. Mr.. Merkle rallied
nicely from the anesthetic. Owing to
the extent of the abdominal inflam-
nation and his advanced years, his re-
covery is not expected by the physi-
clans. although all hope has not been
abandoned.
Mr.. Merkle is proprietor of the
Union Depot restaurant and of lunch
rooms in many cities.

doing very well for one who is with a
pennant winner.
But Just the same, HouclS is one of the
leading hurlers for the MaclSers taking
the won and lost columns into considera-
ton. lie has been returned the winner
in 13 contests this campaign, while his
black marks total only g. percentage of
oSi which is just 20 points better than the
one oNlied by his club.
But getting back to the pitching efforts
of Houek and scanning through the
dope book, it will be found that he has
labored In 40 innings. In this time ne
has been found for 103 safe swats whlie
GA tallies have been scored blythe oppo-
siton while he was on duty He has been
relieved by mates IL times this campaign,
while eight times he has gone TO the
rescue of pitcher
That he is very wild man is shown
by the fact that ne has issued 100 bases
on balls this campaign. which just about
eclipses the wild man. marks of any Of
the other moundmen in the Ban Johnson
circuit One hundred bases on balls In
40 innings is an average of almost l per
inning or 8 in each game. And on sew
eral oeca sions this campaign he has Is
sued that many passes in less than nine
rounds.
So If he is to aid the Maclers In down
ing the Giants in the coming world s
championship series, Manager Mack had
better get his board of strategy-Harry
Davis, Danny Murphy and Ira Thomas
busy printing this right handler for the
coming blue ribbon clashes.
1t makes no difference, though, what
club he faces. He has Jared equally as
well against any of them. They all look
alike. but, then, a pitcherd who cannot
finish what he starts is not going to be
such big aid to a club fighting for a
worlds title.
In the line of being replaced by mate,
HouclS rivals Cal Brown, another hurer
for the Aiaclmen. 1t looks just like
double play when one of this pair starts
a game If Brown starts, Houck is gen
orally called to the rescue before the fin
ish is reached, while II is the other way
when Houck is called on to BATTLE the OPP
position.
