CARELESS HANDLING OF REvOL.
YER CAUSES BOYS DEATH.

A distressing accident occurred at
the home of Mr. and Mrs. w. NJ. Huff
man on North Main street, in Cynthi-
ana, resulting in the death of Wal
ter Crawford.
Tom Huffman, aged 20, who is en-
plOyed by the w. B. Rouse Company,
and Crawford, who were close
! friends, were preparing to go fishing.
Huffman was handling an old model
revolver. and was pushing the
cartridges out of the cylinder. While
thus engaged he is alleged to have
accidently pulled the trigger. The
bullet passed over the shoulder of his
little sister, Edith, who was in the
room with him, and powder-burned
her dress. 1t struck young Crawford,
who was in the yard, the ball enter
ing his skull near the temple. He
fell unconscious and died in a few
hours.
Young Huffman is greatly distress
ed over the accident, as he and Craw-
ford were most intimate friends.
The dead boy was almost 10 years
Of age and was employed by Clarence
LeBus. He was the son of Mrs.
Amandy Crawford. His father, Geo.
Crawford, died in Tennessee, about
four months ago.

Carlson No Has-Been

The Grosvenordales met defeat at Wauregan last Saturday by score of to 1. The Grosvanordales outhit the home team to 5, but Wauregan got most of the breaks and Grosven- ordales' errors helped also. George Carlson was on the mound for the GrosVenordales, and only permitted five hits two of which were scratch hits. He struck out ? men and only allowed one earned run. George used to twirl for Wauregan, and the fans there called him a has been. Now however, they are trying to get him to pitch for them in the future
 In only one inning did the boys frem North GrosVenordale get the breaks. That was in the sixth inning as follows:
 Charles Fountaine singled to left and took second when Duval let Der rvs hit go through his legs. N. Ray enelle forced Derry at second. Feun- tame taking third \ Ravenelle stole second ForsberY singled, Fountaine and N Ravenelle scoring. Forsberg took second on the throw in. Plankey fumhled Swanson's drive, Forsberg staying on second Carlson famed, making two out. Berthiaume was giY- en four balls, loading the bases. H Ravenelle drove hot single to left Forsbery and Swanson scoring. Der thiaume tried to score when the throw in went past Goven and was safe. but as the umpire could not very well see the play he said out, and that settled it. It may be said here that Umpire Pete Reynolds was the squarest and fairest umpire the Grosvenordale
 boys ever run up against. Much cred it must be given him.
 Rabbit" Ravenelle opened the ninth with a hit to center that went far over the centerfield wall. If the Rabbit had not stumbled near first it would have been a homer Nc scoring was done, however, and the game WAS over
