Washington Wins TODAY q.

Griffith Stadium: Behind the teas
ing curves OF big Tom Zachary the
stout hearted Washington Senators
squared the world series with the
New York Giants at 3 all here this
p. m. When they won the sixth
and BEST played game of the series
before $4,000 raving fans. Young
Bucky Harris, the Washington man
ager, won the game with a good old
fashioned punch off Art Nehf in the
fifth inning. Roger Peckinpaugh.
the star Washington short stop who
returned after two days absence in
the lineup started the inning with
his End single Of the day.
Ruel sacrificed him to End and lie
reached 3rd on Zachary's infield out.
Nehf, who had held the Senators to
two hits in four innings weakened
at this point and passed Young Earl
McNeely, McNeely stole End. Har-
ris then drove over End for a long
single and Peck and McNeely scored
with the only 2 senator runs of the
game.
The Giants scored their first and
only run before the left handed
Zachary had got his arm in good or
der. Frisch doubled after Lindstrom
had been retired. Young hit to Zach
airy who made u smart play and got
the fleet footed Frisch between End
and 3rd.
Young went to End during the run
down and home on Kelly's single.
From then on Zachary was almost in
vincible.
The Giants started n rally. in the
fourth inning but 1t was nipped by
a fast double play. Zachary had the
Giants swinging futilely and wildly
on wide sweeping curves and a tan
talking slow ball.
Art Nehf was relieved for a pinch
hitter in the Sth inning. He held the
Senators to only four hits, but two
of them came in n pinch and blew
up his ball game. The Giants south
paw who won the first game of the
series did not pitch as well as n -four
hit game would indicate. He was in
trouble on almost every batter. The
two clubs remained here for the sew
onth game which will end the series,
Seats were placed ON sale an hour
after game time and the ticket of
flee was almost pushed over before
the list had been made by n mob
that swept for first place In the line.
No one was willing TO venture n
selection OF tomorrows pitchers. Cur
ley ogden Is the only first string
pitcher Washington has not used In
the series and McGraw's handling Of
pitchers In the bull pen Indicated
that he might ask Hugh McQuillan
to start the game.

that they had all been preparing din
ner when a scuffle between Taylor

about eight o'clock near the oil load
ing racks about three miles west of

Mexican above the heart but 1t hit
n rib. glanced off. and came out
about five inches lower on his abdo-
men. The Mexican was sent to the
Parco hospital whore the wound was
dressed and he is able to be around
again today.
Both men were working On an ex-
ira gang on the railroad at Lakota.
The negro had already discharged
one shot which passed the end Of n
box car which was In the yards and
the Mexican thought the egr was
thru shooting so he stepped out from
the end Of the car just as the negro
fired the second shot. Both OF the
men say the shooting was accidental,
however. Sheriff Sanders arrested
the negro and placed him In the
iail on Wednesday evening.

LIVED LIFE Of HORROR
and TORTURE EIGHT YEARS

One of the most pihful sights and one of the most brutal
stories which has come to light in this city for many years
was when Mrs. j. B. King, who for about three years has been
living on a homestead about eight miles north of the General
Petroleum Oil Camp No. 16 with her husband, was brought
to Rawlins a mass of bruises, cuts, practically all her hair
pulled out and her left arm still in a bent position as the re-
suit of alleged beatings and fortunes by her husband. j. B.
King. her husband, was arrested the middle part Of last week
, 1924-10-09

n has been pound over TO the DIS
trict court on a charge of aggravat-
ed assault and battery.
The last beating which is alleged
to have been administered by her
husband occurred a little over three
weeks ago. 1t is believed that he
kept her hidden so that the few
cinity could not see her condition.
On Monday September 10th, Mr..
King left the homestead for Raw
Inns where he came to get a supply
of groceries and it was at that time
that Mrs. Benson who has been
teaching in the near vicinity saw
Mrs. King. Mrs. Benson Immediate
ly left the homestead with Mrs. King
and they came to Rawlins where Mrs.
King was taken to a doctor. A
warrant was sworn out for Kings
arrest and he was placed in the
county Jail the following Wednesday
night.
When Mrs. King was brought to
this city 1t was found that she had
a deep cut across the upper part of
her nose, and her nose had been
broken, her arms and body were a
mass of bruises, she had cuts on her
head. most of her hair had been
pulled out so that her scalp could
be seen in most places, both of her
ears were cauliflowered; in fact,
were so bad that they were almost
swollen shut, both of her hands we're
swollen and she had only a slight
movement of far left arm. She
states that her husband beat her
with n club. causing the elbow stiff
ness and that he used his fists, or
1,aat 1Ar with onyfhinu which was
handy. The story as told by Mrs.
King is as follows:
"I have been married for eight
years and we have three children,
ages six, five and three. We lived
in Pennsylvania for five years and
came to this country about three
years z We lived in Rawlins for
some time and then We took the
homestead and have lived on 1t over
two years. My husband has beaten
me ever since we were married n
I have left him several times III
each time he would come to me and
beg me to come back saying that he
would never beat me again. sup
pose am tender hearted for ! al
ways went back to him.
81 have reported that he had beat
en- me several times and he was ar
rested twice for 1t; one time serving
% days in the county jail. When
he came back he peat me for hav-
ing him arrested. He hit me with
n poker. hammer. stick OF wood or
anything handy. He beat me with
his fists practically all the time
Question: why didn't you leave
him whenever he beat your"
II did but he would always beg
me to come back to him. He would
also beat the children and pull out
their hair. We had to shave the
oldest boys head once because most
OF his hair was pulled out. lie
would also kick them. Many times
he was teaching the children spell
ing and when they didn't know how
to spell n word he would kick them
almost across the room. IL WASH
so bnd when we were In town nut
after we got out here away from
neople he beat me most OF the Tune
I couldn't get away from him Tor
he watched mo continually and when
anybody would come he would put
me in The cellar and keep me there
