TO keep the bacteria out, keep the

HERE FOR
THREE GAMES
Nailnor will be Here for Series Of
Three Games, Sunday. Mon
day and Tuesday
SHOULD WIN AT LEAST Two
These Should Re Some Of the Best
Ball Games Of the Season as
Nilnor has Fast Team

Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
should be banner days in the base
ball circles of the Little Twins.
Minor is coming for series OF
three games and everybody who is
fan Of any degree shouldn't miss
any of these games, as you will
more than get your moneys worth
Milnor has been winning very
nearly all her games this year and
so far have won one game from
the little twins by the score of one
to nothing. But it is claimed by
those who saw the game that the
little twins played he better ball,
but the breaks of the game were
against them.
So let us celebrate the Fourth
of July this year by attending all
these games in row and give the
boys of the management a helping
hand, as they have been bucking
up against some pretty severe wca
ther and it takes quite a lot Of
money to handle ball team.
We have this year a real bail
club. In the batting list Erwin has
proven himself to be dandy lead
off man, as he is not only scared
deer on bases, but is pretty handy
with the stick and has been play
ing a rattling good grade of ball
around third base.
Wade at short has been putting
up some dandy ball and is among
the heavy stickers with the wei
club. Handschu is receiving be-
hind the bat in grand style and is
a dependable hitter. Scheifer al
first is grabbing everything unless
they throw it the other way and
is the cleanup hitter. Hyperion at
second is always dependable to dc
his share. and it doesn't make any
difference what he is called upon
to do.
Jordan is hitting in great style
this year and is covering more
ground than ever in the left gar
den. Faust, the pride of the Red
is still that old run driver with
the club and is pitching in his Old
time form, which means that you
have got to be Ty Cobbs or Bakers
to beat him.
Giles is playing a dandy game
in the field, but is hitting in hard
luck, but as soon as the old jinS
leaves him, Root" will be there
as he has been i'm the past.
Boil. who has been plyaing
right field and the bench is the
same old Gardy. who is never
afraid to get up there and take
three healthy swings at the old
pill. but is not hitting up his
usual standard.
Jones. the old war horse from
the regions of where hurlers come
from. is one of the main stays Of
the team. and is going better ev-
cry game. Bumpus is hitting the
horsehide with the same old ven
geance.
Whiting is the same old E. c.
always reliable to do his share
either at bat or in the field.

had covered about four miles of their
journey when they reached hill. They
were descending this hill when Miss
Morrison lost control Of the car she was
driving and it began to pick up mo-
mentum. Suddenly the wheels struck a
deep rut and in an instant the large
touring car had turned over burying it's
occupants beneath it. Miss Nuna-
maker, who occupied the seat with the
driver, was thrown to the ground and
when the car turned over, She found
herself under the body imprisoned but

RAILROADS APPLY FOR RETRIALs
IN TWO DAMAGE SUITS
RECENTLY DECIDED.
GREAT WESTERN CLAIMS
VERDICT is EXCESSIVE
Estate Of Engineer spiIIman Secures
Judgment For $11,15o and Company
Asserts This Is Too Mueh-North-
western Objects to Paying Double
Damage For Killing Horse.

Des Moines, June 6.-The Chicago
Great Western Railroad Company yes
terday petitioned the supreme court
for rehearing in the case of the es-
tate of John j. Spellman VS.. the Chi
cago Great Western in which verdict
of $11,150 was rendered against the
railroad. The case was tried in the
Polk county district court and affirmed
in the high court.
Spellman was an engineer on the
Great Western. He was killed when
his train was wrecked March %, 1910,
on his run between Des Moines and
Oelwein. Suit was filed for $4,000
damages The jury granted $11,150.
The railroad company complains that
the judgment is too high and that the
statute of limitations had run against
the claim. The company also claimed
that an amendment to the suit took
the case out from under the state
workmen's compensation law and
placed it under the federal employers
liability act. Spellman was 63 years
Of age when he died and was making
$175 a month.
The Northwestern railroad asked the
supreme court yesterday for a rehear-
ing in the case Of George l.. Pierce vs..
the Northwestern, appellant. The case
was tried in the Marshall county dis
trict court and affirmed in the high
court. Pierce was given double dam
ages for the killing of his horse on the
railroad right-of-way.
The railroad company asks that the
case be reopened. 1t is claimed that
the construction placed on section
2055 of the cade, and the allowance of
double damages under the undisputed
facts in this case render that section
of the code unconstitutional and void,
as being violative of the due process
and equal protection clauses of the
federal constitution
The section in question provides
that where live stock is killed on the
right-of-way by failure Of the rail-
road company to maintain fences or
cattle guards, if the company shall fail
to settle for damages within thirty
days after notice in writing of tile
loss Is given to the proper representa-
tive Of the railroad. the owner of said
stock may recover double damages
from the railroad
