Killed hY Baseball

A blow from a baseball batted or
thrown high into the air by an older
boy of the neighborhood playing with
his mates, brought almost instant
death to Mildred Marek, little daugh-
ter of Frank Marek, living northwest
of Nampa, Sunday afternoon. No
bruise was found on the little girls
body by the Nampa physician immed-
lately summoned, but he gave it as
his opinion that death resulted from
rupture or stoppage of the heart by
the force of the impact. After being
struck the girl walked a few steps
and crumpled over a box in her path.
Efforts made to restore circulation
proved fruitless.

PARK WARDWELL KILL
ED BY TRAIN
Meets Death at Ogden, Utah
Particulars of Accident
Very Meager.

Park Wardwell, a resident of En-
nett since the '60's and probably one
of the most widely known men in this
section, was killed yesterday at
Ogden, Utah, by being run over by a
train
News of the unfortunate accident
came yesterday in telegram to his
sister, Mrs. E. X. Hayes, from an
Ogden undertaken, who stated simply
that Mr.. Wardwell had been accidently
killed by a train and that his body
was being held awaiting instructions
as to its disposition. Mrs. Hayes re-
quested that the body be at once sent
to Emmett, and she left yesterday
afternoon to meet it. 1t is expected
the body will arrive on tomorrow
mornin's train and will be taken di-
rect to the cemetery for burial.
Park Wardwell had been in Utah
for some time developing mine. A
letter received a short time ago by
Mrs. Hayes from him contained very
optimistic news of his prospects. The
,enws of his sudden death was a severe
shock not only to his relatives here,
but to all who knew him. He was
born in Umatilla, Ore, about so years
ago and had spent all his life from
childhood to manhood here. He was
an expert logger anc timber man
and was in his element when work
ing on a drive. He was man of
rugged physique and of great powers
of endurance. He knew no fear and
was noted for his reckless feats of
daring. He had had many narrow es-
capes from death while on log drive.
OF the Wardwell family Mrs. Hayes
is now the sole survivor.
No particulars of how the accident
occurred has been received. -

mercial Club Rooms

The Commercial Club has arranged
for a meeting to be held Friday
evening to discuss Rural Credits. The
meeting will be held in the club rooms,

system, which has been in successful
operation there for two years, and
has been of great help to the ranchers
of that section. Mr.. Purcell is an
able and entertaining speaker.

this matter in the interest of the
farmers, and it is hoped a goodly
number will be present.

point and stop when tank is full. The
capacity of the sump will be increased
so that with the tank full, fire may

Older BUT STRONGER

To be healthy at seventy, prepare at
forty, is sound advice, because in the
strength of middle life we too often forget
that neglected colds, or careless treat
ment of slight aches and pains, simply
undermine strength and bring chronic
weakness for later years.
To be stronger when older, keep your.
blood pure and rich and active with the.
strength-building and blood-nourishing
properties of SCOTS Emulsion which is a
food, a tonic and amedicine to keep your
blood rich, alleviate rheumatism and
avoid sickness. No alcohol in SCOTS.
