The contest between the two big

course, while the Defiance sailed
straight for the mark, but going slow

MARATHON STAR
S0CKALEXIS OUT
OF ALL RACES

Andrew SockaleXiS of Old Town, a
star Of many Marathon races. has
run his last long distance contest. He
is now an inmate of the Hebron sana-
forum, where he is said to be suffer-
ing from a throat malady that will
prevent him from ever competing i'll
another long grind. Those who have
followed the career of the Indian
closely, were not surprised to learn
of the Redskins condition. SockaleXis
was known to be suffering from such
a trouble and, in a way, it prevented
him from winning some of the big lau-
rels in the Marathon running game.
In the Swedish Marathon at Stock
holm. Andy was one of the most for
midahle competitors in the race, but
he was not picked TO win simply be-
cause his throat was thought TO affect
his wind. In the b. A. A. Marathon OF
1912, when Mike Ryan made his rec
ord, Andy just lacked the necessary
punch at the finish TO win the big race.
Although Sockalexis' condition is not
thought TO be grave. still the doctors
have advised him to give up all
thoughts of ever running any more
long distance races.

WAS ATTENDING ST. JOHNS
DAY AT PENNINGTON
Slight Bruise on Left Temple In
dicates Probable Cause of
Death-Returned on Special
Train Thursday Night

Bath, June 26.-The body of a
Knight Templar in fatigue uniform,
later identified as that of j. Tyleston
Gould of Rockport said TO be past
commander of Camden commandery of
Camden, was discovered early this
morning in the Maine Central Railroad
ferry slip.
Gould was member of the com
mandery which returned from Farm
ington last night passing through this
city by special train at 1922 1t is
supposed he must have left the train
in the freight yard and started to
walk aboard the big ferry boat, but
missed his way and fell between the
slip and the pier. There is a slight
bruise over the left temple which
would indicate that he struck on his
head, the blow probably being suffi-
cient to cause immediate death His
watch was stopped at 80.
The body of the victim was removed
to Curtis undertaking rooms and inn
mediate steps taken to identify the
victim. This was accomplished in
short order. Coroner Curtis immedi-
ately empanelled jury composed of
George Il. Thompson, Harry E. Stet-
son, Seneca H. Conley. Fred B. Reed,
E. Randall Leonard and John w. Gil
more.
The body of the victim was found in
about the same locality where other
accidents have happened. A couple
of years ago the railroad was cen
sured by coroner's jury because there
was no rail or fence to protect foot
passengers from walking overheard
but the railroad claims that its prop
erty is private and trespassers have
no right to be walking about there.

A MISLEADING CRITICISM

The criticism which Brazos County
is under as not doing anything In the
way OF road improvement Is hardly
fair or Just. In fact. 1t is not true In
a strict sense OF the word. Brazos
County has suffered greatly in road
and bridge destruction by the terrible
floods OF last fall and winter and to
overcome these losses is no small feat.
The county has recently let contracts
for bridge construction In the sum OF
$4,000, and in addition keeps force
OF hands with a modern road-making
outfit constantly at work on the roads
OF the county. The roads are being
improved all the time and had II not
been for the floods referred to the
roads would have been in fairly good
condition.
True, we have not provided for any
permanent highways by bond issue
or special tax, but because OF this fact
the Eagle most vigorously protests
that the misstatement or misinforma-
ton be given publicity that Brazos
County is doing nothing whatever on
its roads.
We say this in justice to the County
Judge and Commissioners Court, who
are doing all in their power to keep
the roads in condition with the means
at hand. At the same time we do not
condone the lack of public spiritedness
on the part of the people as a whole
in the matter Of road Improvement.
The Eagle believes, however, there has
been widespread change of opinion
among the people Of the county on this
subject, and that sentiment favoring
more advanced methods is fast crys-
TALKING and will soon take concrete
form. The outlook now is that II will
only be short time until the cause
of the criticism referred to will be re-
moved and "Old Brazos" will move
right up into the ranks of the most
progressive counties of the State in the
matter of permanent highways.
