Uncle Seizes Little Boy ToddIing To.
ward the Wild Animal.

Leavenworth, Wash.-A little three
year-old boy running toward a big
brown bear caused quick action on the
part of William Peopmeller, a Chum-
stick rancher, the other day.
Mr.. Peopmeller was loading car of
wood at the siding, and his little neph-
ew was playing about the car when
Mr. Peopmeller was attracted by his
two dogs barking in the underbrush
about 100 feet distant
He observed the bear coming out of
the canyon and also saw the child GO
ing to meet it. The child had not seen
the animal, buG was going over to
where the dogs were. Mr.. Peopmeller
reached the child and, with it under
his arm, ran a short distance to the
house and got his rife. He got few
shots at the animal before it again en-
tered the british, but failed to hit it.

CARRlZAL BATTLE TALE OF HEROISM
 OF US. TROOPERS

Field Headquarters, June 26- Twenty-three American soldiers are known to have lost their lives on the battlefield at Carrizal, according to report to General Pershing from Ma jor General Jenkins, commanding the 11th cavalry column ordered to SCOUT the country in that vicinity for sur vivors.
 The report told of the rescue in safety of Captain Lewis s. Mercy, af- ter he had made a daring stand Tn the face of heavy Mexican odds and heroic personal sacrifices in an effort to save the lives of his men. Major Jenkins said he had evidence that nine American troops, in addition to those previously reported dead, had been killed.
 A note found on the body of Cap tain Charles Boyd, the American who lost his life in a charge on the Mex ican machine gun trench, proved that General Felix Gomez, the Mexican commander, invited him into the town of CarrizaI and that he had refused and afterward conferred with Gomez outside the town. Neither the note book of Captain Boyd nor that of Captain Mercy, both of which were recovered, threw any new light on the clash, according to report.

BAY STATE READY
 TO START TROOPS
 SOUTH BY NIGHT

Birmingham, Mass, June 26.-Long before daylight officers and men of the Massachusetts militia at Camp Whitney were hard at work breaking camp in preparation for a start later in the day for the Mexican border. The troops were under orders to be- gin entraining at 8 o'clock this after noon. The officers were in touch dur ing the night with officials of the Bos- ton & Albany and New York, New Haven & Hartford railroads, who made hurried preparations to provide the necessary trains.
 Adjutant General Cole early in the motor trucks to lend their cars for transportation of equipment to the railroad station.
 Except for a recently organized bat talion of field artillery, every organ ization of the states militia which had been mobilized was under orders to entrain. Four regiments of infan- try, comprising the Second Brigade intact, with Brig. General E. Leroy Sweetser and his staff and the Second Regiment; the First Battalion of Field Artillery, the First Squadron of Cava1- ry, the Hospital Company, the Ambu- lance Corps and the Signal Corjs, were em braced in the projected movement. The Cavalry and Signal Corps were added to the troops ordered under way in supplementary instructions re- ceived early today.
 Not all of the men in the several units will proceed with them, however. It is proposed to take along only the minimum required strength of TO men ito a company, the recruits added within the past week to be kept in camp here for further preparation. They will be sent to join their com panies at various points along the bor- der as rapidly as their developmen
 warrants.
 Much of the work of preparation for departure related to physical exam ination of the men.
 Some of the companies. it was found had lost their minimum strength rat ] ing because of defections due to refus- al to take the new oath which would bind them to six years of service, ac- l tive or reserve, and to withdrawals | because of youth or responsibility for | the support of families. The extent
 of the refusal to subscribe to the fed eral enlistment oath could not be de termined today but regimenta1 officers
 said that in some companies it was l considerable. No effort was made to
 urge the men to reconsider, nor was
 there any sign of reproach when their i decision became known.

kins reported. Realizing that they were surrounded and outnumbered by Mexican troops, he ordered his men to leave the hut in small attachments that their chances of escape might be increased.
 Captain Mercy, himself suffering with slight wounds, with four men, remained hidden throughout the day in the house, which was within 2,000 yards of the Carranza line. That night the party of four started afoot in an the expeditionary command. How ever, Captain Mercy soon became so week from loss of blood that he was unable to walk and, believing he was dying, he ordered his men to leave him and save themselves.
 This they did, but shortly the wounded officer regained strength to crawl to the ranch house of an Amer jean named McCabe, about nine miles from CarrizaI.
 Major Jenkins reported that he had found Captain Mercy hidden in Nc Cabe's house and that his wounds were not dangerous. Upon the receipt of the despatch, General Pershing said 43 members of the command en- gagged are accounted for and that one more is known to be alive but is lost in the desert The remainder of the 84 men who made up the detach- ment are believed to have been killed or made prisoner.

BONEHEAD BASEBALL.
One Curious Break That Even the I'm
pires Did Not Notice.

Baseballs champion foolish play was
made in game between Washington
and the White Sox in 1907. In that
battle Larry Schlafiy was captain of
the Washingtons and also played sec
ond base.
At the end of an early inning Schlafy
went out to telephone or buy goat or
something and was delayed so long
that the Senator's had three men pu.
out before his return.
The Sox came trotting in for their
turn at hat. Washington took the field,
with only eight men and nobody on
second, and the game went on that
way till Fielder Jones hit one straight
across second. Then, and not till then.
was it discovered that there was no
body on second base.
Incredible as il may seem. nineteen
men-seventeen players and two UNI
pires had started the half inning in
this fashion and not one of them got
wise till Jones hit shot over the
cnpty station
Schl' ,!y reappeared at this iuncture
and IL umpircs decided that the hit
wac egal when made with only eight
Jrcn in the field Jones had TO 20 back
and bat over New York Sun.
