run at breakneck speed and plunge
headlong into Red Run. nearly being
drowned.
The young man was returning
from paying a visit to friends near
Beartown when he heard mysterious
noises in the darkened forest beside
the road.
Feeling sure that he was being fol-
lowed by sinister objects, as that
section of the hollow is said to be
haunted, McClain put on full speed
ahead. While crossing Red Run on
q shaky log, he missed his footing
and fell into several feet OF water
striking his head upon a rock.
He was stunned and had to strug-
gle for some time before he could
reach the bank. The accident did
not interfere with McClain's speed
after he regained solid ground and he
made good time from that point to
his home Residents of the COM
munity think McClain's scare was
practical joke played upon him by
some BeartoWn folks.

Union Station Players Win;
Challenge Any Club in City

Say, isn't this Union Station team
going it! Won eleven battles with
out defeat. The last victim to get
in the way OF the Union Station Inn
tied was the New Cumberland A. C.
last evening Ga, the teams playing
over there. Captain e. B.. Snyder
had his men on the job from the
moment the umpire called play.
Snyder used his star pitcher, Et-
noyer like Uncle Sam taking care
comet himself, banging out two hits,
scoring twice and supporting Et-
noyer like Unkle Sam taking care
of his soldiers. Rhinehart, short
stop, was a constellation, too, doing
all kinds of stunts in the short field.
Under Snyder, old Tri-State player
the Union Station looks to be as
swell a ball club as Harrisburg
sports right now. Their challenge
includes anybody and everybody.
Next Tuesday they play Mount st.
Mary's at Steelton. New Cumberland
put up a good game, with Martin
and Phillips in the points, but a
couple errors helped to lose the game
and, besides. Etnoyer had too much
on his slants.

John Redding, passer, drove 5,691

The gangs worked nine hours a
day, and drove oil-tight, bottom

It was not necessary to cut any
of the rivets out after driving.
Mr.. Schwab expressed himself very

Old Printers Talent
Puts Cash in Pocket

Macon, Ga.-There was Shelley,
the Irish Count, as he styled him
self, who would come occasionally
for a month or so from a round
the-world trip, making the circuit
without a dollar and all his baggage
cralnmed in his vest pocket, if he
had Vest; if not it didn't matter.
When he blew into a printing office
here in Atlanta. New ORLEANS or
Charleston-anywhere-he was as
welcome as a keg of beer at mid
night, and that was some welcome.
The Count was rated as one of the
swiftest printers, and where some
made So the day he could easily
make SS or $40. But a days work
was n gracious plenty at time. In
the days when the late Col. w. A.
HUFF was Mayor and presided over
the police court, the police had or
ders to let the Count alone unless
he got to fighting, but. unlike old
Limerick, he was not a fighter. On
the other hand, the drunker he got
the jollier he became. And yet he
had his sober moments, even when
drunk.
1t was his habit to sleep all day,
for night was his time to work and
to play. Generally he would pile
himself in some out-of-the-way cor
ner of an office or under the stair
way or in the cellar and sleep. He
loved the hours of midnight or the
small hours of the morning. Some
times seeing a number of men on
the street together he would mount
drygoods box or barrow and re-
site Poes Raven" or other poem.
Being a born actor and possessed
of q rich and resonant voice he
would stir his hearers to that pitch
they thought him equal to Booth or
Forrest. Following hiArecitation he
would launch a TRADE against the
world for not recognizing true genius
and upbraid the crowd of listeners
for not furnishing sufficient coin
to fan the dramatic spark which he
possessed into flame. 1t was such
exquisite nerve that the coin was
forthcoming. With his pockets full
he visited the printing office, bade
the boys an affectionate farewell and
