It is rather q shock to look at
Mccoy now, with his head shaved,
and wearing a blue prison shirt.
Those Of you who remember the
Mccoy Of twenty years ago with
his black curly hair, his stylish
clothes, his little cane, and his
jaunty stride, as he strolled
around the old Metropole, at For
ty-second street and Broadway.
That Kid Mccoy never dreamed
that he'd spend his last days in
a prison, but sucht is the case.
The writer visited this prison
about four years ago, with Billy
Gibson, Jim Coffroth, Benny
Leonard, Willie Meehan and some
others.
It is about an hours ride from
San Francisco and a very pretty
place. Leonard and Meehan had
a three-round boxing act for the
prisoners, and Meehan finished up
with song. One of the keepers
then took US around on a tour of
inspection. We saw the jute mill;
the baseball grounds; the rock
pile; the fields of wheat; and

The galloWs which are described
in 1.-THE Ballad of Reading Gaop'
this way:
"For oak and elm have pleasant
leaves
That in the spring-time shoot;
But grim to see is the gallows-
tree,
With it's adder-bitten root,
And, green or dry, man must
die
Before it bears its fruit!"
The gallows platform, a double
affair, stands about eight feet off
the ground, and there are. two
trap doors that the condemned
men drop through. The ropes used
in hanging are stretched for weeks,
with 30O-pounds weights, which
take the spring out Of them. One
look at that old gallows and a
fellow feels like being kind Of
good for the rest Of his life.
Mccoy missed the gallows, but
he's always within sight of it.

room for doubt that Ely lost to the
Falls in the second game. When
the third relief at the scoreboard
fell from sheer exhaustion, he had
hung up II markers for the gallop-
ing victors and not even Manager
Hall himself could discover where
his team had scored more than three.
Under, Kowalke, Gianotti and
Lindbeck might recover but they'll
never look the same. Under who
was procured from Superior was
yanked before things took a serious
turn. Two runs had been scored
off his deliveries in two innings.
Even Shoulder was forced into the
struggle but he had other ideas
than hurting two games.
In the course of events nine fair
balls parted company with the in
terror regions of the park. Lam
bert, Hoefier and Lindbeck started
three of them on their way. 1t got
so that every time a Border City
player failed to make a home run
he was razzed. King got three
homeruns and a single; Berrigan
collected two homers and single
but that's enough to illustrate how
the wind blew and the baseball
travelled. 1t would be too fearful
to dwell on the morbid details.

SPECIAL ROAD JOBS =

In addition to the lists of trunk
highway improvements by contract
The Ely miner. [volume] (Ely, Minn.) 1895-1986, 1925-07-24

already announced and aside from
regular maintenance work, says q
current bulletin, the Minnesota
Highway department this summer
is making many special betterments
on trunk routes in this and other
parts Of the state.
Commissioner Charles NJ Bah
cock already has signed 1925 au-
thorizations for nearly 100000 of
expenditures on work of tn class.
The list includes 100 projects aver
aging more than $1,000 each and a
few run over $4,000.
Many of the jobs are in tho twi-
light zone between construction
a n d maintenance classifications.
They are being more economically
and advantageously built under the
special plan, highway officials assert.
In many cases state owned equip
ment and crews are being employ
ed. Local labor, notably farm
teams are provided work during
slack times under the plan, and
care is taken to avoid competing
with the farmers for needei labor.
The scheme leav a big share of
the money spent in the locality of
each improvement, and other special
benefits are claimed for it. Work
costs compare favorably with those
on similar contract projects.
The OUTLAWS are covered by special
Authorizations For Expe 1diture,
known among the highwaymen as
"a. F. E. s." In like manner is
handled other extraordinary highway
work such as the annual census,
highway marking expense, and so
forth. Like other disbursements for
the Improvement and maintenance
Of Minnesota's big 7,000-mile state
wide system of main highways, they
are drawn on the fund accruing
from the motor vehicle and gasoline
taxes.
: Competitive bids on a new list of
trunk highway improvements were
opened Tuesday and awards IF con-
tracts will be announced next week.
