BY J. ED GRILLO.

The tie game of yesterday furnish ed
one of the best struggles seen on the
local grounds this season. The fact
that the Nationals came from the rear
and overcame a three-run lead made
the game all the more interesting. 1t
was Joe Judge who made this possible.
But for the good work of the clever
first baseman the Nationals would have
gone down to defeat. and the Cleve-
land Indians would once more have
been a full game ahead of the locals
The ending however, was not sat

more innings. 1t was just a s light at
the close of the fourteenth inning as it
had been three innings prior to that,
and it would have been good policy to
have continued the struggle until de-
cision was reached or until it really
was too dark to play.
This tie game means the Griffmen
and the Sox will have to play double
a visit.
II was the original intention to play
the postponed game with the Athletics
today in the form of double header.
but Manager Griffith after giving the
matter some thought concluded it
would be better to have the double
header Saturday, when more spectators
will be a BILE to axe advantage of it.
1t is Griffiths intention to pitch both
Johnson and Gallia in the double head

both and thus passing Cleveland in the
race.

FIRE MINOR IMPORTANCE.

The fire alarm, with West HEX
man signal, was turned In short
ly after noon Sunday, but the
blaze proved to be only the burn
ing of a pile of lumber ON the
railroad right-of-way, near where
the old grain elevator was dis
mantled. The fire department
responded and stopped the fire,
as it endangered a lot of cotton
and other nearby property. A
passing train probably ignited
the dry grass, which in turn set
the lumber afire.

A WORD ABOUT sAMBURG.

The little city Of Samburg,
down on Reelfoot Lake, was well
represented by Hickman folks
Sunday, who were out motoring,
enjoying the balmy October days.
Among those from Hickman we
noticed Esq. A. M. Shaw and
party, w. NJ. Shaw and party,
Henry Sanger and wife, b. G.
Hale and wife, B. G.. Hale, Jr.
and wife, DR.. H. E. Prather and
wife, Richard Prather, Miss Het-
tie Williams and mother, w. e.
Lynch and wife, N. r. Holcombe,
Misses Frankye and Lite Reid,
Miss Newbill, Mrs. Dee Reid, Miss
Homer Green, Miss Kate Hackett,
A. Minitree, Mack Reid, Leslie
Hackett, Wiley Tummins, j. c.
Sexton and wife, w. G. Speer and
wife and others whose names we
failed to get. Samburg seems to
be forging right ahead, even if
the oil boom did die a natural
death. The boring for oil has
ceased and the machinery has all
been moved away. Residents of
that section seem to know little
or nothing Of the results of the
drilling, except that the casing
has been pulled out and the
"hole plugged up with mud. If
oil was found, the matter is
secret. Mrs. w. j. Logan, form
erly of this city, runs the princi-
pal hotel of Samburg and Is do
ing nicely with the business. The
jolly bunch that meets at SAM
burg for hunting, fishing and ont
ing, find it an ideal spot for the
purpose, although this village was
once famed as the cradle Of
Nightriderism." Even some Of
the members Of the once famous
organization - Sam Applewhite
and others who were sentenced
to be hung uptil dead-are there
to greet the visitors very much
alive and apparently the best Of
fellows. The little town, unique IN
a way, is maintained by the fish
ing industry and enjoys good
income as q sp0rtsmans resort.

ORIGIN OF SPECIES.

The Republican elephant and

originated by Thomas Mast in his
cartoons in Harper's Weekly in

of the Central Park menagerie
had broken and loose and were
wandering about the city. Soon
after Mast labelled the two politi-
cal parties as well as the Tam

Experiments with jack pine have shown that it is well suited for mak- ing kraft paper. On some Of the Ma tiOnaI Forests this tree is used to plant land which is too poor to grow other timber.
 A new fre-fghting tool has been in- vented by a Forest ranger in Ca1ifor- nia which consists of an interchang- able hoe and rake. It is said to be the best tool of that sort yet devised.
 The use of. osage orange for mak- ing dyes promises to be extensive. The Forest Products Laborator is making 9 census which shows that the supply of the wood is more than ample to meet present needs. ,lss.i.
