NARROW ESCAPE
FROM DEATH
Luter Yantis of "A Modern Eve"
Company, Struck by West Bound
Train Yesterday Morning.
WAS TAKEN UP TO CARROLL
Suffered Considerable Pain From In.
jury in Head, But It Is Thought
That He Will Recover. .

Mr.. Luter iantis, one of the actors
OF "A Modern Eve" troupe, was struck
by the west bound Los Angeles Limit
ed train at the Northwestern Depot in
Denison yesterday morning and mar
roWly escaped with his life Mr.. Yam
It's together with the other members
of the company, was at the station
to take the local east for Carroll
where they played Tuesday night and
seeing the train from the east, he
supposed he should cross over to the
south platform. When on the other
side of the tracks, he discovered his
mistake and started back supposing
that he would have ample time to do
SO. The train drew into the station
faster than he supposed and just as
he was stepping over the last rail he
was struck in the head by the pilot
intiicting bad cash Oh his forehead.
Other members Of the company
We're on the north platform at the time
and called 10 him to make haste and
some of the men seeing that it would
be close call rushed out to pull him
across. They grabbed him just as he
was struck and pulled him away thus
keeping him from being dragged I'M
der the wheels to certain death.
Mr.. Yantis was able TO go with the
troupe to Carroll although he was SUI
fering considerable pain with the mas
ty cut across his forehead. The suit
case which he was carrying was com
pletely demolished. Those who at
tended the play Monday evening will
remember that he played the part OF
DicM.e Rutherford.

WAS A SPLENDID PLAY.
THE Divorce Question:" Drew a Large
Crowd Friday Eyening-Excep-
tionaliy Strong Cast.

Wingfield and Rulings presented
"The Divorce Question to a well
filled house at the Germania opera
house Friday evening, and the cast
was one Of the strongest seen on the
local stage for some time. The play
is an exceptionally strong one and
requires actors OF ability to present it
and those who took part in it were in
deed masters.
The play was not a frivolous one.
but dealt with common, everyday life
in its true form and the moral was
one that would be of benefit to most
anyone. In 4 realistic way it por-
trayed the sad conditions that arise
from many of the divorces OF today
and the play suggests a way that this
might be rectilied. The play held the
audience spellbound from beginning
to end and those who attended we're
OF the opinion that it teaches les
son never to be forgotten.

McDERMoTr ADJUDGED INSANE
George McDermott, of Manila, !.
Brought Before Insane Com
nssioners on Monday.

Mr.. George McDermott, of Manila
was brought before the county insane
commission Monday and after thor
ough investigation had been made by
the insane board it was found that he
was of unsound mind. Deputy Sher-
iii O'Meara accompanied him to Cla-
rinda Monday afternoon, where he
was placed in the state hospital for
treatment.
Tie case is a particularly sad one,
as Mr.. McDermott is a comparatively
young man and up until few weeks
ago enjoyed the best of health. He
held responsible position with the
Milwaukee Railway company at Ma
nilla, being superintendent OF the re-
pair shops. 1t is believed that the re-.
sponsibility connected with this pO-
sition caused him to worry to such an
extent that he lost his mind. Phys
icians believe that after a thorough
course OF treatment at the state insti-
tuition he will recover from the trou-
bic.

About mile and q quarter south

stepped out OF the road to one side

road to the side where Mrs. Johnson
was walking. the car striking her
quite forciby, telling her TO the

to aid or assist her or to find out what
mischief he had done, he speeded up

ened to her home. She did not real
i2e at first that she had been given
the shaking up and bruises which
she received. 1t however proved luck"
for her that she escaped from what
might have proven more serious. Had
she not been able to reach home the
possibilities are she would have spent
the night along the roadside until
found her.
Positive facts as to the guilty and
reckless party are yet to be proven,
while sufficient evidence has been Sc
cured which may eventually locate
him. Considerable criticism and com
meni have been passed upon this ne
ia. ious party whoever he may be. and
should he be apprehended the limit Of
the law should be given. Had he
stopped and given the aid he should
it would have placed matters in Il

LECTURE COURSE
FOR THE WINTER
Students of Public Schools, Assisted
by Teachers. viii Have Charge
Of Lecture Course.
GIVE FIVE NUMBERS FOR $500
First Number Will Be Given or Ne.
vember oath, When Arden Dra-
matte Company Appears.

Denison is to have lecture course
this season which has been arranged
for by the students OF our public
schools with the help Of their teach
ers. 1t is planned to have five num-
bers in the course and tile season
tickets will be sold for $100 and the
will be used for purchasing equip
ment for the new gymnasium and
pictures for the school rooms.
Superintendent OF the schools, Prof.
c. e. Humphrey and Prof. Knowlton
have signed the necessary guarantee
and with the boys and girls of the
schools back of the movement it is
hoped to make it a grand success.
The attractions that are booked are
of very high class character and
well worth the small price OF admis-
sion. Last year was the first year
that Denison has been without lee
ture course for some time and people
generally were disappointed that ar
engagements had not been made for
one. 1t was given up last year on
account of the fact that there was no
suitable place in which to give the
entertainments but now that the ole
opera house has been leased by the
school board, it will be at the disposal
OF the children for a lecture course
such as they have planned.
We are told that the first number
of the lecture course will come on
Tuesday, November Oath, when the
Arden Dramatic Company will present
the Shakesperian play, "The Tanning
of The Shrew." This is an entertain
ment that should be great drawing
card among the club women OF Den
ison and the company which presents
it comes to Denison with the highest
recommendations. Other numbers
of the course are as follows: Tom
Hendricks Humorous Lecture. The
Stratford Male quartet, Sidney Land
On, the great impersonator and the
Oxford Opera Company which will
present THE Gondolier."
Every resident OF DenisOn should
take an active interest in this lecture
course and help our boys and girls
make success of it. They are anX-
ious to help decorate their school
rooms and make them more pleasant
and certainly their cause is a worthy
one. Let's all help the boys and girls
OF Denison make a success OF their
venture.

GERMANS ABANDON
THE BELGIAN COAST
kaisel's Forces Are Letting Up
on Attacks Near Calais.

London, Nov. 4.-That the German
army has abandoned its attempt to
hack it's way along the Belgian coast
to Calais is agreed by all reports.
A combination OF inundated country
the remnant OF the. Belgian army un,
der King Albert and the activity o..
the British warships seemingly all
contributed toward ending the costly
struggle.
A Berlin official report attributes
the failure of the Germans entirely to
the flooded state OF the country, where
the water in places is over a mans
head; but it declares that the army OF
Emperor William withdrew III goo!
order and without losses.
After nearly three weeks Of desper.
ate fighting the brunt of the attack
has now shifted to the Ypres region,
where the English army of Field Mar
shall Sir John French, reinforced by
Indians and territorials, apparently
must meet another onslaught. On the
scene of this contemplated battle, ac
cording to reports, Emperor William
has gene to give encouragement TO his
men by his presence.
A state OF war exists between Tur
key on the one side and Russia, Great
Britain and Servia Oh the other, yet
the Ottoman government appears as
a house divided against itself, one
seemingly being DESTROYS of war, while
the conservatives are trying to smooth
over the situation arising from the at
tacks upon Russian ports and ships
by Turkish war vessels directed by
German officers
