who is able to collect back subscrp-
tions must have the nerve and grit
and that is what is going to count in
the long run. Our advice is to take
the subscription list which has been
furnished all the contestants who have
asked for them and study it as if it
were a map. Then Strike out for that
territory that has the largest number
OF subscribers in areas. DO not ask
FOR one dollar, but two and three in
TACT. ask for all the Indebtedness and
Il payment in advance. Five dollars COL

fast.
Now, all the contestants have rola-
tivcS and close friends. And all OF
thcsc relatives and friends should
help, not only by paying up themselves
but by actually soliciting. Orguntza-

FOUR MATCHES
In Tennis Tournament Play.
ed Wednesday

In the second days play of the ten
mis- tournament, some excellent ten
mis- was witnessed by those present
at the Round Hill court.
F. Weida, of Gambler, defeated
Wills, SO and 6-3, never being in dam
ger Of losing out.
The second match of the afternoon,
which was played between Blair and
Stoyle, was very hotly contested
throughout. Blair started out with a
rush and captured the first set 6-1 be-
fore Stoyle seemed to get his bear
ings. In the second and third sets,
however, Stoyle took a decided brace
playing almost sensational tennis at
times, with the result that he won
these two sets 6.3 and 6-3 thus giving
him the match.
Following this, came one of the
closest and most exciting matches
played so far, the one between r..
Levering and V. Dowds. This match
was in a way a repetition of the one
played between Stoyle and Blair. -,
in each case, the loser of the match
won the first set by large margin.
Levering started strong by defeating
Dowds the first set 60. But, playing
an uphill game, Dowds came from be-
hind, won deuce set from Levering,
rs and then sewed up the match by
winning the third set, 6-3. In these
last two sets, the stroking and placing
of Dowds was exceptional.
c. Levering then defeated X. Har-
per in straight sets, 60 and 6.4.
The ladies' singles this year were
put in charge Of Miss Ila Williams, SO
any lady wishing to enter, who has
not been seen by Miss Williams, will
please call her at her home early this
evening as the drawing will occur
about eight o'clock.

were paired off as follows: Levering
brothers VS.. Kinney and Tiger; Nor
ton and X. Harper VS.. F. Weida and

Victim Was Under The InfIu.
enCe Of Liquor
And Is Supposed To Have
Staggered Onto Track

Ankenytown, Aug. 26-When R. s.
McCann, B. & o. station agent at this
place, returned last evening on the
1917 train from Mt. Vernon, he
stumbled over dark object near the
station platform which investigation
showed was the severed legs and
hips of a man. Proceeding down the
track distance of some 25 feet, he
discovered the head and shoulders.
All portions of the body were in a
mutilated condition.
McCann Immediately summoned aid
and the remains were identified as
those of John Fulton of Newville,
Richland county. who had spent the
afternoon here and had intended 60
ing to Butler in the evening. Coroner
j. M. Pumphrey of Mt. Vernon was
summoned to view the remains and
he pronounced death due to being
struck by train The remains were
placed in charge of a Butler under
taker.
Fulton came here yesterday after
noon on the 81 east bound train. He
had started for Butler, but an over
dose of whiskey is said to have
caused him to pass through that vii
lage. He got off at Ankenytown and
conversed with number of people
here, stating that he had several
cousins in the village whom he would
like to locate, not having seen them
for a number of years. He told of his
experience in passing through But
ler and stated that it was his inten-
ton to return to Butler on the 1917
train.
Local people with whom Fulton con-
versed state that he seemed to be
very much the worse for drink and
appeared to be in a rather helpless
condition. His old age rendered him
an object of pity to all with whom he
talked.
He was last seen shortly after 5
o'clock when he announced his inten'
ton of going to the station and wait
ing for the 1917 train. Somewhere
between the hours of 8 and o'clock
the accident occurred. From the po
sition in which the remains were
found, it was evident that Fulton had
seated himself on the east end Of the
station platform to await the trair
which would convey him to Butler.
Between the aforementioned
hours, freight train, No. 98, passed
through here and it is thought tina
this was the train that struck him

was only after Agent McCann arrived
that the sickening details were re
vealed.
There is strong presumption her
that Fulton kept on with his drinking
and finally fell across the tracks. Il
his hip pocket two smashed bottle
were found. Whatever was left of tn
contents had been spilled when tn
bottles were broken. When the trai
hit Fulton, the upper part of hi
body was evidently carried along o
