on the ground in front of the lines Of
the allies is estimated at a total of

ANTHRAX VICTIM

Third Case Recently In New

sheep and cattle. received newspaper
men at his bedside today. and believ-
ing his death to be only few hours

MY message to the public is from a
far greater and better man than l am.
comes I am ready to go. Now that my
end Is near. am ready. I am seventy

mans life one must expect death at any
moment. To the young. to whom death
may come at any time as a lightning
stroke, let me say. be prepared always

Its Origin a Mystery.
Mr.. Stackpole was very weak after a
night of pain. and his face was swollen
far beyond it's normal size. How he
contracted the unusual malady is not
known, but 1t is believed he may have
become inoculated from a hitching post
in Riverhead used by farmers to tie
their horses.
Ultraviolet rays were to be focused
on his throat today In the hope that
they might destroy the anthrax germs
His wife and daughter were with him
and his son. Junior at Dartmouth, is

role lay first In tying the score with
home run drive inside the enclosure after
two were out in the ninth and Demaree
had him in the hole with two strikes and
no balls. Zach had to wait till the
eleventh to drive in the winning run.
Then he won the game by a score of

Thanks to the reckless abandon OF
the Butte Wheezer. the loyal Flatbush
legion was treated to one Of the most
spectacular games seen this season. The
wildness OF young Dell which ap-
preached the borderland OF vicious
cr.me from the sixth to the ninth was
chiefly responsible for the most thrilling
situations. Dell may he forgiven for his
villainy this time. as IL turned out all

to third on Connolly's drive. Magee's
timely hit brought Fitz home for the
first run of the game.
Matty frightened up after that. and
