notable ninth hole medal play contest
at the Country Cub, where as Il
caddy he learned the game.
The match today was marked by
Ouimet's poor putting in the first
nine holes, his wonderful brace in the
second nine and his finished play
during the afternoon. Travers, a.
though wild from the tee, played a
strong short game which gave him
the advance up to the seventeenth
hole in the morning play, where Oui-
met squared the match for the full
time AT the home hole Ouimet took
the lead and maintained it to the
finish. Trayers was even more un-
certain in his wooden spots in the aft

Ouimet proved the longer driver and

putter. The second game OF the pair

TWO WOUNDED RY
TRAIN ROBBERS
PASSENGER TRAIN NEAR DE
TRolT is HELD UP BY TWO
MASKED ROBBERS.
Two Passengers Who Showed Resist
ance Are Shot by the Hiahwaymen,
Who Make Their Escape.

Detroit, Sept. 5.--Two passengers
OH a Grand Trunk passenger train In
bound from Toronto tonight were
shot and seriously wounded by two
masked robbers who boarded the
train soon after it entered the city.
After obtaining money ard valuables
from the other passengers in the
coaches, the bandits disappeared.
The men wounded are Cornelius
Bozekerk, a travelling salesman of
Berlin, Ohio, and Joseph Settler oil
Shelby, Ohio. Bozekerk was shot
through the stomach and physicians
sad his recovery was doubtful. After
Setter had been taken to the hospital
it developed that his condition was
not as serious as at first indicated
and he is expected to recover.
The robbers entered the parlor car
of the train at Milwaukee Junction,
within the city limits. Both immedi-
ately began firing reyolvers and pas
seneers were ordered to hold up their
hands. One bandit reached in a
linen closet, gfdDDed pllloM sup
and into this the passengers were or
dered to drop valuables. AS oae rob
Der collected booty his companion
backed him up with the revolver.
After Bokekerk had been shot,
Setter attempted to get into an ad-
Joining coach and notify the train
crew. He was not quick enough,
however, and feh with a bullet in his
hip AT this juncture both bandits
ran to the door and leaped off the
train, carrying their plumber with
them. The whole affair lasted but
two or three minutes. The passen-
gers were unable to say how much
money the robbers took but it was
claimed several women dropped
money into. the pillow slip and two
men gave up their valuables.
Within a few minutes after the rob
berry the police had taken half a
dozen suspects into custody.

PENSION SYSTEM
PROVES SUCCESS
COUNTY JUDGE ENABLED TO
CARE FOR COUNTY POOR AT
MINIMUM EXPENSE.
Comparison is Made Showing Cost to
ton, and First Month Thereafter.

The pension system for taking care
of the county poor as adopted by
County Judge Mooney immediatciy
after the destruction by fire of some
OF the county farm buildings, has
proven a success and a material say
ing to the county finances.
For many years the county had OF
Grated county farm near the Bull
Bayou creek. and had kept the county
poor there. Aside from the fact that
the farm was costing the county a
whore lot of money, there were coli
stantly creeping out little criticisms
of the manner in which the inmates
were treated whether the criticism
was just or not The county received
a whole lot Of blame.
After the fire destroyed the build
ings on the farm Judge Mooney put
into operation a change he had long
contemplated that of disposing by
sale of the county farm, AID of pen
sioning the dependent poor out of the
county funds.
The last month the county farm
was operated it cost the county sac.
The average cost per year to main.
tain the farm was about $4,000. AS
comparison there are now - pau-
pers dependent on this county for
support, and the bill for thi5 support
during the month of August was $llt.
The - paupcrs now supported under
this system is Z more than were re-
ceiying upkeep at the county farm the
last month it was operated.
Il believe that experience has dem
onstrated that it is cheaper to pen
sion the county poor than to support
a farm for the unfortunates," said
Judge Mooney yesterday. we are

of these are insane, and cannot be

cause their condition is incurable.
Others are broken and afflicted UNI
fortunates who must be taken care
of. Under the present system they
are enabled to find homes where they
can be cared for cheaply, and the
county pays the pension bill, which Is
materially cheaper by comparison
than had been the upkeep OF these
persons on the farm
