Bruce Lane. who Was hurt in a
haV press IN Starr Valley Tuesday
rested nicely last night. His right
leg is broken just above the ankle
and the flesh is badly bruised.
He was in the press for an hour or
more and must have been i'm great
pain, but he murmured and
assisted those who we're irving to
get him out. His pluck will make
his stay in bed less tiresome than il
would otherwise be.
1t used to be that when q man
had finished his bite in a cafe and
started to 60 out, he put his hand
in the tooth-pick tray and took out

ried look. But now the ~tooth-pick

little automatic affair that deals

W|N0NA TEAM
SW|PES BASEBALL
Loss of Sphere at Winnipeg
Results in a Forfeited
Game to Maroons.

Winnipeg, Man., July 31.-The al
legged theft Of an ordinary ten-bit
baseball. which had just seen the light
of day for a few moments in the
eighth round. was the means Of wind
ing up a thrilling baseball contest
in a most dramatic manner at the
River Park pasture last night. in
which Umpire Timothy Flood awarded
the conflict to Winnipeg 9 to 0 in the
ninth round. The Maroons had brok-
en- a 2 to Q tie in the eighth by scor-
ing two runs and we're leading by a
score of 4 to 2 when the game was
terminated so suddenly. 1t was a pref
ty expensive ball for the Winona club
to take. as Flood plastered at least
two fines during the mix-up in which
most Of the visiting players engaged,
and after the umpire had given the
team one minute to produce the ball
he declared the game forfeited to
Winnipeg. First Baseman De Russia
was the last man seen with the ball,
he making the final put-out in the
eighth round, and when the Maroons
went to the field there was no ball to
be found. and many. spectators claim
ed they saw the first baseman lake
the ball to the bench. At any rate, 1t
cost the Winona team-any chance they
had Of winning. which was cry slight
at that. stage of the play. as Boly had
settled down and was getting them
pretty regular. E (, ~

VICTIM
NOT IDENTIFIED
Struck by N. P. Engine
EARLY This Morning
Asleep on Track.

No clue has been found to the iden-
tity of the man killed by a Northern
Pacific freight train near the fair
grounds early this morning.
A search of his pockets by Coroner
w.. H. Witherstine revealed only a
knife and an empty purse. There Is no
mark on his clothing which reveals
either his identity or his home.
s. ". Smith, of Grafton. who was
sleeping beside the unknown on the
N. P. grade at the time the tragedy
occurred, says that he had only met
his companion that day, and has no
idea az to his identity.
The two were, 1t appears. sleeping
close beside the rails when the
freight train came along. Smith
awoke in time to ave himself, and
called to his companion.
The latter awoke. and sat up. As
he did SO, one Of the .projecting parts
of the engine struck him on the top
Of the head. SCATTERING the skull. and
causing instantaneous DEATH.
Smith notified the authorities, and
the body was brought. to the city by
Coroner W~itherstine. It wifi be kept
for a.day or SO on the chance of iden-
tification. No inquest will be held.
The. unknown was about 80 years OF
age, 8 feet 10 inches tall and weigh
ing about 175 pounds. with dark brown
hair and dark grey eyes,. He was
dressed in set of blue overalls, and
q light blue shirt, with grey socks
and well worn shoes.

HOMEOPATHY

1t has developed as a result OF the
inability Of allopathic physicians to
cure certain diseases that these dis
eases are considered incurable. The
physician who practices pure homeo-
pathy, however, knows that there are
no incurable diseases. An individual
may be incurable because the dura-
Tor Of his trouble has so weakened
his vitality that he Is unable to react
to appropriate treatment. He is not
incurable because Of the particular
disease name that is given to his dis
eased state. No matter what the
name Of the disease from which an
individual suffers, the appropriate
treatment aimed at the In
dividual will stop the progress Of
the disease and restore health. The
only treatment able to reach and cure
these so-called incurable cases is
homeopathy.

BEAT BOSTON REDS
Local Team Gave Good Exhibition
Saturday-CannOt Get Ahead
of LittIeton.

The Boston Reds, putting up a
fine article of ball, were outclassed
by the local team Saturday. st.
Johnsbury had more life in the play
ing, took advantage of opportunities
better. and showed more team work
than has been exhibited by them for
several weeks. The lovers of a close
game, and the lovers of free hitting,
were treated to exhibitions of their
favorite brand of base ball.
In the third inning the fire works
were set. Scott hit a fly to center
that Hastings pinched at the end of
a good run. Bridge slammed a ball
through Wholley, and on the first
ball, Hoernle signaled for hit and
run game. Bridge streaked it for
second, and Moore lifted the ball
over first for a single, while Bridge
kept on to third base. Gray singled,
scoring Bridge, and then ran Moore
off second so that he was thrown out
on the return of the ball. Gray went
to second on a passed ball, and scor-
ed when Hoernle singled. Then Witt
came to time with screeching drive
to center field. Hastings made
great try for the ball, running way
back and leaping into the air for
it, but it was still travelling on a
line and way over his head. Before
the ball was relayed to the diamond,
Witt had crossed the plate. The
hit was the longest yet seen on the
grounds. Conner struck out.
The next excitement was in the
fifth inning. big Lacquer Moore
made the most sensational catch OF
the year off Keefe's hard drive. 1t
was travelling between right and
center and Joe chased it backwards
and to his left, and finally leaped in.
the air spearing the ball with his
left hand. In the next inning Gildea
was retired by Witt, who stopped
his grounder with one hand and
threw him out. Then Hastings hit
to Connor and Morrison got his throw
by stretching the limit and catching
the ball with his left hand. Gray
dropped Harber's fly, and Speare
threw to Morrison when Harder had
a lead, and he was run down with
the aid of Witt and Conner. In the
locals half, Edwards did a Morrison
stretch and retired Hoernle. Witt
was passed, stole second and went
to third on the throw passing Gildea.
The squeeze play was ordered and
Witt tore home as the ball was
pitched. Morrison laid down per-
feet bunt, and was on first before
the ball was feIded, while the stands
enjoyed one of the neatest plays that
has been shown here. Morrison was
out trying to steal. In this inning
Hastings made a fine catch off Con-
nor. St. Johnsbury did not do any
more active offensive work.
The Reds run came in the eighth
when Donnelly hit through Scott and
Gildea singled, and Scott missed the
ball to head off Donnelly, who scored.
The Reds got on bases in the ninth
but did no damage.
