BUTLER WIS EASY Collegians Put Up Weak Ball
Game Against the Earham Nine.
GAME WAS UNINTERESTING
There was little to the game of baseball on Reid Field yesterday afternoon between Earlham and Butler colleges but the score. That was pretty big, 10 to 3 and the Quakers had
the larger section. It was a game of the "so-so" order. At no time was there any semblance of a high class
contest. The Earlhamites had gone through a grueling battle last Satur
day and did not seem to have awak
ened yesterday. Butler played with lead in her shoes. She was a perfect lady, however, and did not refuse to permit the Quakers to win. Errors were too frecuent to make the game
Clean cut and there was a spirit of
HstleBsness that did not help matters.
GOOD BOWLING GAME
' A crimp was put in the champion-
ship aspirations of Graham and Rob
erts in the two-man bowling tourna
ment at the City . Bowling alleys, last
evening, by Waldrip and Kenney,
which team is pressing the leaders for first position. Waldrip and Kenney took two of the three games, the
team scores for the match being as follows: Waldrip and Kenney, 329, 351
and 394; Roberts and Graham, 362,
34S and 334.

TAKES THE MEDAL
Bird Last Evening While Speeding Along, Smashes -f Into Headlight.
IS CARRIED BY THE ENGINE WHILE A WIPER WAS AT WORK THIS MORNING IN THE LOCAL. YARDS HE DISCOVERED THE STUNNED BIRD.
Another story of bird lore has been
produced by the local branch of the
Panhandle Ifnes. This bids well to
outrank the robin episode of a recent date and as a matter of fact, seems
really more remarkable. How does the story of a robin sitting on her nest on the journal box of a freight
car and riding from New York to Rich
mond to become the mother of three
little birds, be murdered and have her young ones stolen, compare to the tale of the homing pigeon that flew
through the glass on the front of a locomotive engine's headlight?
Bird is Captive. But did a bird ever fly through the
front of a headlig'at? Yes, and lived
"to tell the ta'.e." And the bird now is in the custody of Pietro Tarrara, a hostler at the P. C. C. & St. L. railway company'3 roundhouse on North Twelfth street. It is a pretty blue
homer with a green stripe across its
head and neck. On the left les of the
bird is a silver band bearing the marking "E 40,009" and on the right leg is a copper band marked "R. B. 06." It is evident the pigeon is valued by its owner and probably was on a mission last night. And this leads to the story. As Panhandle passenger train " No. 40 was bowling along on its way to Richmond last evening with Lon Smyser at the throttle, there was a brief impact as from a stone against the glass on the headlight. The light was not in use at the time, so no attention was paid to the matter except the trainmen reported the glass as broken. Heard a Noise. When Pietro, the hostler, was climbing around wiping off the engine some hours later he heard a peculiar noise. He could not locate it, although it seemed in the vicinity of the smokestack. He kept on with his work, interrupting his labors occasionally to listen to the scratching noise. But all
I kinds of noises are heard . about . a
! roundhouse, so Pietro thought little of
the matter.
Finally his labors brought him to
the headlight and he began' removing the pieces of shattered glass. The chimney of the lamp had been broken and he reached into the opening to gather up the fragments. He heard the same peculiar noise and looking carefully he saw something behind the reflector. He reached his hand in and pulled out a beautifully marked homing pigeon. Mystery Is Solved. The mystery of the broken? glass was solved. Trainmen say the bird must have been flying straight ahead at high speed and struck the glass when the train was going rapidly also.
The compact of the two was sufficient
to break the glass and the bird fell inside. It had suffered a severe cut on
the left shoulder and had been stunned
by the blow. It was aroused after
Pietro pulled it from the darkness and
fluttered about, but unable to escape.
Tarrara called the attention of other employes at the roundhouse to his captive bird and told where he found
it This morning the pigeon was turn
ed over to Gus Pfafflin, the foreman.
He took it to a veterinarian and had
the injury dressed. A box has been
converted into a cage and the train
men will care for their pet until pub
licity of the numbers on its bands
brings word from Its owner or it re
gains strength enough to fly again.
The experience of the bird is be
lieved to be one of the strangest on
record. The mother robin brought notice to the employes at the Panhandle freight depot but the roundhouse boys
expect their feathered friend to prove
a greater freak in the life of the wing
ed creatures. .

Today Outlines the Cuban Program. .
IT IS STATED THAT IT IS PRO
POSED TO SEND DIPLOMATIC AGENT WITH HIGH POWERS TO ISLAND REPUBLIC.
Washington, May 25. The Army
and Navy Register, the semi-official
publication, usually inspired by the high officials of the government, contains an editorial today, which indi
cates that the suddenly terminated visit of the secretary of war to Cuba has something to do with the prospec
tive changes there, which may be it shape of an American diplomatic representative being appointed with prac tically the powers of a governor. I is believed such intervention woulo avoid the sending of troops, as here
tofore outlined in these dispatches.
