Judge Holds Tucker
Gets No Damages for
Horses Death by Auto

jamestown, N. D., Sept. 25.-When
Albert Ness, employed by the Berg
estate of Courtenay, driving an auto
mobile, struck horse belonging to H.
N. Tucker of Courtenay, chairman of
the North Dakota Progressives, with
the result that the animal had to be
shot, Tucker filed suit to recover $185
damages. Judge George Bouer, of
Courtenay, has held that Tucker was
not entitled to any damage because the
accident was entirely one sided.
Dissatisfied with the decision of the
local justice, Tucker may appeal his
case and bring it into the district
court Of Stutsman county. Much
interest is manifested in the case by
the farmers near Courtenay. ''FA

sheriff entered the room only to dis.
cover that the bird had flown. A small
window of the room had been left open,

Campbell had escaped. The man is quite

through the window.

VAN HALTREN AS HE is TODAY

Newspaper Enterprise AssOciation)
OAKLAND, Nov. 23.-George
Van Haltren, former famous CEN
ter fielder of the New York
Giants, lives in this city. He
owns several rented houses. His
real estate operations gives rise
to belief that he may be we'll
off. Van admits that he only
works when the notion strikes
him.
At $50 Merrimac street, Van
Haltren resides in his own home.
Before he became a national base
ball star he learned the lather
and plaster trade. He takes a
turn at 1t now and then, but his
real estate investments appear to
have provided against old age.
Rusie and Meekin were famous
twirlers of their day, but fans Of
the time will recall that Van
Haltren figured in many a play
which helped these master pitch
ers develop their regulations.
Van Haltren weighs 16S pounds
in his street clothes. In his base
ball prime he tipped the beam ut
1862, with a uniform on. Therein
lies the secret OF Van Haltren's
physical endurance. He did not
have to wear himself out making

TURKEY DAY
GAMES WILL
BE BATTLES

Two corking good football
games will be played in Tacoma
on Thanksgiving afternoon.
The South Tacoma Athletic club
which last week defeated the Ia
homa club, will meet st. Martins
college at the baseball park. The
Tahomas will risk their lives with
the husky Hoquiam Alumni team.
Both games should be exciting,
and large crowds of fans are ex-
pected.
South Tacoma is chosen as a
winner in its game with the Lacey
college. The team has already
scored a victory over the colleg-
fans, and 1t has been strengthened
greatly since the first game.
Tahoma will have harder
time of it. Hoquiam's team is
composed of former Hoquiam high
school players and former univer-
sity stars, averaging over 165
pounds. 1t defeated Dupont Ath-
letic club last week, 28 to 0.

weight from one summer to an
other. And today he weighs but
six pounds more than when mis-
speed had the National league
guessing.
No baseball fan of a few years
back need be advised regarding
Van Haltren's reputation as a
mighty wielder of the stick and
a scorching outfielder. Any man
who can remain ten years with
New York and retire only be-
cause Of abroken leg is a fair to
middling ball player.
Born in 1865, Van Haltren
opened his big league career with
the Chicago White Stockings in
1887. He played with the great
Arson club for three years.
Brooklyn, Baltimore and Pitts
burg had him successfully until
the season OF 1894 saw him with
the Giants. Here he remained
until 1904. Running to second
base one afternoon Van Haltren
broke his leg.
Like many other great ones of
his time, Van Haltren cannot but
regret that the big salaries now
paid stars OF the diamond we're
lacking In his day. But he does
no particular financial worrying.

IN acceptance of the challenge.
He says that he will take the
Burnsides on at his alleys for any
Kind of match that the challengers
may desire. He will post q side
bet, II 1t is sought. But he would
rather play for dinner at some
big Tacoma restaurant, to be fol-
lowed by an auto ride about the
