Charles 7. Dempsey, of Ste. Gene
We've, Mo-, steward on the U. S.
dredge boat, Fort Gage, fell overheard
last night shortly after 8 o'clock and
was almost drowned before being res
cued
The boat had tied up at the river
front in this city for the night, and
Dempsey was preparing to leave the
boat and visit the city. He walked out
of the engine room and started to
walk across some pontOOns to the
shore.
He had proceeded but short dis
tance when he made a misstep and fell
between the barges. He was carried
| by the swift current under the barges
for distance of $50 feet, and finally
was seen to come up near the wheel
at the stern of the boat. Just as he
was being carried into the wheel he
was seized and held by hook in the
hands of one of the men on the
steamer.
A small boat was lowered and a
number of the crew rowed to the res
cue Of the sailor.
He was dragged into the yawl and a
short time later was carried on board
the steamer.
He was unconscious when placed on
the deck of the steamer, and at first
it was believed that he was dead. A
physician was summoned, and in the
meantime the rescuerS sought to re-
store him by suspending him. head
downward across some water pipes.
The attempts proved effective and
in q short time his lungs were relieved
of the water and he began to breathe
Iaboriously. The work of artificial
respiration was kept up until he had
fully recovered consciousness and was
-out of danger.
When the physician arrived he
found his patient greatly revived, and
after administering stimulants, Demp-
sey rapidly gained strength.
In addition to having his lungs fill
ed with water, he received several
cuts on his left leg, and also a serious
scalp wound.

Haileck Wilson Wounds Cir

VICTIM is BROUGHT
TO HOSPITAL HERE
Jose Garcia is Charged With At
tempting to Stab Scott
Officer.

Jose Garcia, Mexican performer in
a street fair circus that has been ex-
hlblting for several days in limo, was
shot Friday night and perhaps fatally
injured while resisting arrest.
Garcia was accused of having stolen
duck from woman living near the
encampment, and when Deputy Sher-
iff Halleck Wilson approached the
Mexican for the purpose of arresting
him, he drew a dagger from its place
of concealment in his sash and at
tempted to slash the officer.
Mr.. Wilson stepped to one side and
at the same time drew his revolver
and pointed it toward Garcia. This ac-
ton appeared to madden the swarthy
Snowman and he resumed the attack
in vicious manner. The officer fired
Il shot above his head, but failed to
intimidate the angry trooper"
Realizing the necessity for quick
and decisive action, Mr.. Wilson fired
the second shot, the bullet entering
the right arm and going through both
lungs.
Before cOllapsing the Mexican ut
tered the shOwman'S customary war
cry of "Hey Rube," and before the
officer realized the seriousness of his
position, he was surrounded by mob
of angry showmen armed with stakes
and handspikes.
He stood the mob off with his gun
until the arrival of a force of officers
who had been aroused by the commo-
ton. Garcia was taken in charge by
the authorities, and his companions
sullenly departed for the quarters in
which they belonged.
Garcia was brought to the hospital
in this city where he is now lying in
critical condition.
The incident has stirred up bitter
antagonism between the show people
and the citizens Of limo, and an extra
force of deputies have been sworn in
to help maintain order and quell any
disturbance that might arise.
Mr.. Wilson is regarded as one of
the most fearless officers in the State.
He is special agent for the Cotton
Belt Railroad Company, and deputy
sheriff of Scott County.
A few months ago he was attacked
by a negro prisoner, who struck him
with sash weight and left him I'M
conscious in the cell When he revived
Il short time later, he secured a rifle
and started in pursuit of the fleeing
negro. He came upon the fugitive who
ignored his order to halt and attempt
cd to run away, but was shot and kill
cd by the officer.

TIP TOPS TURN
AND BEAT THE
BUFFALO BLUES
Drive Ford from the Box
and Pound Marshall
Hal Chase in Breach.
lbs Telegraph to Tn. Tribunel

Buffalo, July l2.-Totterng on the
verge of seventh place, the Brooklyn
Tip Tops suddenly whirled. and for the
day at least were champions. They de-
feated the Blues here this afternoon
by a score Of to 4 and stayed in sixth
position, which in itself is none too de-
sirable. Ford and Marshall, who took
turns pitching for the Blues in the first
seven innings, were ineffective. Ed
LATTE, the former Brooklyn man, had
little trouble in holding his own.
Ford was knocked out of the box in
the middle Of the fifth inning and Mar
shall replaced him. The merry business
of scoring runs continued with him in
the box, and at last LATTE was pressed
into service. Every man on the Tip
Tops got at least one hit. and Benny
Kauf, the well known jumper, gathered
three for himself
Hal Chase saved the Blues from utter
rout. and in doing so sent Jim Blue
jacket, the big Indian, to the shower
bath in the sixth inning. With three
men on bases Hal tripled to centre field
and scored few seconds later on a
wild pitch.
The score follows:

Air tight pitching, that primal neces-
sity TO ultimate success, was just one
Of the reasons for Brooklyn's success.
Sherrod Smith set the standard, and
his mates lived up 10 IL both in the
field and at the bat. IL is true that
Buck Wheat made his sen; occasional
error and was directly responsible for
the first run scoreI by the Cubs. but
there were few who held 1t against
him.
Nine hits were made off Smith, but
it was only in the eighth inning that
he really showed any sign OF waver-
ing. At the first indication. Robbie
sent Ed Appleton out to warm up, but
with the able assistance of Myers,
Smith kept out of serious danger.
The wonderful catch by Williams
took precedence in the line OF fielding
endeavor. This same Williams robbed
Gus Getz of a triple by a great pick
up of a line single 10 left centre. Getz
made a pretty play on a pulling roller
by Wilbur Good IN the first inning, and
Ollie OMara ranged all over the field
pulling down flies. incidentally, Buck
Wheat robbed Pete Knisely Of triple
az least. by camping under ms ny out
near the scoreboard.
Opportunity fairly stormed Brooklyn
in the first four innings, when George

Eight hits were made of this left

livery. aud not all of them were fukes,

records. This tally came in the first
inning. when lille O'Msra doubled TO
left field, and completed the circuit on

The Superbas pressed closely in the
following innings, but II was not until
the sixth inning, with Jimmy Lavender
in the box, that they managed to batter
down the bunkers that guarded the way
TO the plate.

Drop One Place in Standing
as St. Louis Wins
Twice, but Gain
on Leaders.

The Brooklyn Superbas took another
stride toward the top in the National
League pennant race at Ebbets Field
Yesterday, but were driven back in the
percentage column. They defeated the
Chicago Cubs for the fourth time IN
succession, and so continued their mad
dash. The score was 3 TO ,, and VIC
tory was won only after a battle IN
which thrills were many.
In winning Brooklyn captured us
eighth straight game and the twelfth
of the last fourteen played, Of when
one was a siXteen-inning tie. Yet the
team slipped back into fourth place, as
the st. Louis Cardinals beat the Bos-
ton Braves in both games Of double
header.
But even in fourth place the Su-
perbas can see the light. The Chicago
Cubs, leading the league, are only two
full games, or p points, in the van,
while the Philles hold second place
by the scant margin of one game.
The Cincinnati Reds Will be at Eb6ets
Field this afternoon, and the Brooklyn
fans are LISTING for more victories.
The Cubs made determined rally in
the eighth inning, but Hy Myers stood
in the path and prevented a possible
tie with remarkable throw, which cut
down Jack Murray at third base. There
was only one out al the time, and Bob
Fishers long fly, which closed the inn
ing, would have been the producing
agent of the tieing run.
Sherrod Smith had no trouble in foil
ing the Bruins for seven frames, but
he faltered bit in the eighth. He
passed Bresnahan, and Jack Murray,
pinch hitting for Jimmy Lavender,
laced a drive TO left. Jimmy Archer,
hitting for Wilbur Good, followed with
single to centre, and Bresnahan
scored Murray, however. was thrown
out at he far turn, and then came
Fishers fly 10 Stengel, which choked
Off the Danger
Casey Stengel achieved the signal
distinction of scoring from second base
on a fly TO the outfield. 1t may be
said without detracting from the Cobb
like performance Of the big German
that few runners have had the fortune
to be on second when such a terrific
blow was struck and such marvel
lous capture made. Even Nllbert Rob
inson might have scored.
Stengel opened the sixth inning with
a clean single to right field, and made
second base when Getz laid down a
we'll placed sacrifice bunt. Then Miller
stepped up and drove d terrific fly 20
centre field. Il was mile over the
head of Williams, but Cy turned and
raced with il. At Notre Dame, some
wears ago, Williams was c:ar Splinter
and hurCler. His training stood him
in good stead. Running as few men Of
the cinder paths can run, he got up
in the nick of time, and making mad
lean i'm the air made the catch.
Such was his speed, and so violent
the impact Of the hurting sphere tina;
he was carried on a full fifteen yards
before he could turn TO make the throw.
At the instant ne ball hit glove, Stem
gel was off, and fairly flying along ct
over the plate. Heinie Zimmerman in
tercepted the throw and fumbled. THIS,
while it overshadowed Stengels run,
had no material bearing, for Casey IN

to-day's game, Washington winning the
hnal contest by score Of to 3.
In the third inning Gandil wrenched
his ankle swinging at a ball, and Row.
land permitted Williams to finish Gan
dis turn at bat and allowed Gandil
to resume his position in the field In
the fifth inning Gandil made a double,
which sent the winning run across the
plate, after two men were out. Russell
was nit hard in this round.
Chicago had severa' opportunities 70
score, but failed 70 deliver pinch hits.
With the bases .lled in the eighth inn
ing and two out, Walter Johnson re-
lieyed Shaw and stopped the rally.
The score follows:
