GRAY ROOTERS III TEARS OVER First Contest for County Championship Goes to Richmond Outfit. LOCALS CLOUTED HEAVY "TICK" CONNER FOR CAMBRIDGE CITY WAS NOT IN THE BEST FORM AND THE QUAKERS SLAMMED HIS 8LANTS. Richmond 8; Cambridge City, 2. Not so anxious now are t Cambridge City Gray supporters' to cover Rich mond. money, as to respective merits of the two teams, after thie big victory won by Richmond at Cambridge City yesterday afternoon. The locals went after the Grays much in the same fashion that youngsters go after wedding cake. The largest crowd of the season was present, it being greatly swelled by a good sized delegation from this city. Although: Richmond has won the first game of the series for the championship of the county, yet the interest taken in the games between these two teams at Cambridge . City July. 4, and on the following day, in this city, will be at fever heat. Some complaint is made about: the showing of "Tick" Conner, the Grays' pitcher, who performed for two seasons on local lota. He is accused of getting in the air at critical stages of the game. The line up of the locals was changed slightly, by Manager Warfei. Kel? ley was supplanted by Warfei, whose position as guardian of the third sack, was taken by Schmidt, a new man. The change proved satisfactory. The fun for the locals began in the very first inning. Warfei singled, DriscoU walked, Clark and Wise struck out, and Schmidt in his first appearance at the bat, scored' Warfei and DriscoU with a long single. ' Weaver scored Schmidt. Not until the fourth was Cambridge able to score. Goehner, the local boy, catching for Cambridge City, scored TomkJns by hitting to right. In the fifth the Grays scored their second- and last run, with Schattel crossing the pan oh Jones' effort. ' Just to clinch the victory. Richmond scored five times in their half of the ninth inning. Schmidt the first man up singled, as did Joco Weaver, both scoring on Clutter's clout.- Boyd's single brought in Clutter and Bulla, who had singled previously. Boyd was caught at second trying to make his hit good for two bases. The scoring tended with Wise singling' and scoring Warfei. Line up and summary:'

The case of the Farmers and Merchants bank of Bryant, Ind., vs. Miller is set for trial on that date. It is expected the trial will last for several days. The case has been on the' docket for about two years. The complaint contained fifty-two paragraphs. .Judge Fox said the problem is more complex than any he has dealt with for some time. CITY COURT LIKE TOWER OF BABEL Wild and Awesome Clash of Tongues Heard. It was hard lines for the prosecutor today when he saw all the cases in city court go without fines being as sessed. The Tower of Babel would have been like a morgue compared to city court when Lewis Salzarulo, Pats'-- "a'zarulo, Frank Cafazzo and Tor -one let loose. They are Ital. oorers and were arrested on the charge of assault and battery. They were accused of engaging, in a fight Saturday night. The men understood little English and could talk less. An interpreter tried to get the story and all of the defendants said there was no fight. AH the witnesses were Italians and the prosecutor could not make headway against their Jargon to warrant prosecution. COE IS HAPPY MAII His hopes, his fears, his prayers, his tears are all enwrapped in the tiny bit of humanity that arrived last night to gladden the home of Demas S. Coe, county auditor. When the doctor whispered "It's a boy," the genial ''Nick" almost fainted. The babe was born last night at the hospital. Mrs. Coe is doing well and the new addition to the family promises to be a strong rival in the affections of the parents to Miss Margaret, whose debut into life was made about three years ago. The announcement at the court house almost wrecked the building. The father couldn't tell a warranty deed from a tobacco bill. GOES 111 BUSINESS Harry Downing, member of-the undertaking firm of Wilson, Pohlmeyer and Downing, will engage in a brass manufacturing business in Chicago, according to word received by local friends today. He will retain a financial interest in the undertakinc e tablishment but it is probable that ho will spend most of bis time in Chicago.

1 WOMAN FOUND DEAD Mrs. Elizabeth Galyeon, aged 85 years, was found dead in her bed this morning at her home 1216 North H street. Coroner Bramkamp was not called, evidence being plain that death was due to senility. Mrs. Galyeon was a soldier's widow and was well known in the north part of the city. She is survived by a number of relatives. The funeral arrangements will be announced later. CLARENCE PARKER VASIH BAD LUCK Took Gun From His Brother, Then Pinched. . When Clarence Parker took & loaded thirty-two caliber-, revolver away from his brother and then induced him to part company with a lead filled "billy," he did not expect serious consequences to himself. But, they hame. Sdmebody saw Parker with the revolver and billy and told patrolman Lambertson. Parker's arrest followed. Although he felt his feet slipping during the ordeal, Parker managed to lead Judge Converse to believe the story about the .brother and the weapons, and secured his release. Parker is a neat appearing young man and his story carried weight with the court room crowd as well as the court, which was worth more. He was released under suspended judgment. HE MET A He met a. friend whom he hadn't seen for ten years. The friend induced him to drink one, then two, another and at the end, Ambrose J. Murray was so drunk that he was arrested. No less influential persons than John Hollowell, president of the board of public works and Judge Abbott, interceded in Murray's behalf. They induced the court to permit him to go under suspended sentence. UEIIT KHTSTOll About forty members .of "Richmond Division, No. 14, Uniform Rank, Knights of Pythias, went to Knightstown yesterday on a special interurban car to attend the memorial service of the Third Regiment Uniform- Rank. The local delegation left this city at 9.-25 o'clock in the morning and returned at 8:30 o'clock in the evening. OPEN AIR SERVICES At the meeting of the Ministerial Association this morning, Y. M. C.

DONT' CARC A HANO IF RAILROAD COMPANY TAKES THE MATTER TO THE " SUPREME COURT HAAS INFORMED. The state railroad commission den ies the . reports emanating from In dianapolis that -the Pennsylvania rail road has secured a triumph by its threat to carry the local freight in terchange question to the United States supreme court. The commis sion has informed Secretary Haas of the Commercial Club that it will fight the railroad to the last ditch and if it wants the ditch to be in the su preme court room, it makes no differ ence to the commission. Drew Company Out. The commission claims the railroad company's decision came in response to a request to know what it Intended to do. "We wanted to know what to expect whether they would abide by the ruling or contest it," explained one of the commissioners to Mr. Haas. As to having been bluffed out bv t'ie railroad company the commissioner denied it very vigorously. He made it emphatic that the problem involved is one of Importance and will have to be decided one way or the other. LADD TAKES ACTION Prosecutor Ladd has placed in the hands of justices Abbott and Beyerle about forty affidavits against owners of dogs upon which the tax has not been paid. It is somewhat singular that every delinquent dog owner in the list is a resident of Wayne township. The assessors in all. the other townships of the county failed to report any dog owners as delinquent. LOU BOYD III TOWN Loo Boyd, deputy . United States Marshal with headquarters at Indianapolis was In the city today, on business. He, accompanied by Postmaster J. A. Spekenhier, went to Greensfork in the letter's automobile. The exact nature of Mr. Boyd's visit is not known. BEARS GENERALLY JOLLY. But Sometimes One Cemes Aleng With a Settled Grouch, "Rarely are bears born ill tempered. They .may show some resentment at the time of their capture when but two months old, but this feeling soon disappears, leaving a Jolly rogue ever filing te box and wrestle. I once knew a cub that was a regular terrors" says a writer In Collier's, "and he never reformed. He would attack anything regardless of its slxe .or strength. "At the age of three months be would charge at me. snorting, sniffing and striking with his tiny paws, 'and when I did not protect myself be seised my trousers leg between his teeth and .shook it violently. ."At first I thought that he bad been abused by bis former owner and that by kind treatment be would soon outgrow his temper; but, no, be Just had it in him, and he became more and more dangerous as time sped by. "Finally be grew large enough to be put in with the mature bears without danger of bis sqneeslng between the bars and escaping, and to the surprise of every one be immediately took charge of the den. Old bears twenty times his size, possibly from some sense of honor, if animals nave boner, submitted to cuffs and slaps In the face and actually allowed him to snatch food from their mouths without resenting the insult.' Mansfield's Baren Chevrial. .Richard Mansfield's first great sue cess in January. 1883. was as Baron Chevrial in "A Parisian Romance, a part that came to him through the refusal of the veteran J. H. Stoddart In A. M. Palmer's Union Square company to play the part. Mansfield gave many hours to a study of its possibilities and the details of a realistic makeup. "It was probably the most realistically detailed figure of refined moral and physical depravity, searched to its Inevitable end. the stage has ever seen. For a moment after the curtain fell there was a hush of awe and surprise; then the audience found itself and called Mansfield to the footlights a dozen times. " But neither then nor thereafter would he appear until be. had removed the wig and makeup of the dead baron. There was no occasion to change his clothes. - He wore the conventional evening suit. r The effect of shriveled undersized ness was purely a muscular effect of the actor. The contrast between the. figure that fell at the bead of the stairs and the athletic young gentleman who acknowledged the applause was' no ' anticlimax.

"AS TO LOSING MONEY. A CN Shwlin tH lifrUiw Tan Dellar Bill May Reach. "To some men, said a man now of amplest means, "the km of flO.OO) might be a joke, and then to some the loss of a ten dollar bill might be a tragedy. -Poor? Why. we were so poor that we had to count every cent, every penny. Not that we were miserable. We were very far from that. As a matter of fact, we were happy, but we certainly did hsve all the time to sail very close to the wind. "There were four of us wife, two children and myself and. bless you. how we did have to figure and scrimp to make both ends meet l seen the time, many a time, when a nickel was of great importance to us, when it was the last cent for carfare. I often think what a blessing It was that we were none of us ever sick; that nothing ever happened to u. I don't know what we'd done If there had. ,-:,:Jv I was going to tell you vhat it might be to some folks to lose ten dollar bill. "Tea dollars was the amount of our monthly rent, and whatever else we did we always saved out of my week's pay the weekly proportion of the rent, to have it ready when It was due. I always used to get a ten dollar bill In my pay envelope, and when It came to the last Saturday in the month we Just used to take the ten dollar bill out of the envelope to pay the rent with, aud then we had the amount we'd saved out of three weeks to go on for current expenses. "Well, one last Saturday that bsppened to come three days before the
end of the month we took the ten dollar bill out of the envelope as usual for the rent snd ss usual my wife put it away she always looked after the finances and there we were all com fortable ad hnppy, with the next month's rent all ready, and then on the last day of the month, when she went to get It out to have It handy when the landlord came she coulda't find It! . "If that wasnt a trasjely I doat know a tragedy when X meet It. I don't suppose I took It quite so bard as she did, and rd hsve shown it as little as I could anyway on her account, but to her it was nothing less than a calamity. "When the children had gone to bed we tore the house apart. We looked and looked and looked Into every nook and corner over and over again, but that ten dollar bill, with all that It meant to us and I doubt If yon can imagine bow much It did mean was gone. That was the first thing we had on our minds when we woke np In the morning, snd gloomy enough for us that morning was. And then when I was eating my breakfast in our modest dining room she looked In at the door from the kitchen, and Tve found ltr she said, and so she had. Just where three days before she had bidden it away, and so was our great glooat changed to joyto Joy with a large, large J. ... . "Tee, sir. We got more now, by considerable, and now she has what she wants; now she doesn't have to skimp. In these days I take her home myself now and .then a ten dollar bouquet. We tan afford it. But I never shall forget as long as I live how we felt when we thought. we'd lost thst ten dollar bill or the Joy that came to ns when we found It for, you tea, how a loss strikes yon depends so much on how much you've got. New Tork Sun. Climbs Up the Trunk. The native elephant driver never has to bother with a step ladder In mounting his beast after he has trained him for a little time, for the easiest wsy to get up is to ascend by way of the trunk. Standing la front of the elephant, the driver grasps him by the ears, this being a signal thst he wishes to mount, and the obedient monster promptly arches his trunk so that the master can easily step upon it snd go right on np to the top of the elephant's head. . ; - Tern's Wsllwishsr.

MODERN" TROGLODYTES.
- Tunisia. Africa. One of tbe strangest of capital cttkw Is that of tbe trcclctirtt. or Matiua taa, the care dwellers of TnuUla. Africa. It contains about 3.000 Inhabitants, and the irinc!pte of Its architect ture Is to dl? Into tbe earth rather I ban to build upon it. These troglodytes arc to be found between tbe town of Gates, on tbe Tunisian coast, and the sand bills of tbe Sahara. Tbe country is a h!sh. rocky plateau, barren, sun baked and swept by tbe simoom. When a Matnuta wants a new dwelling be chooses bis spot, traces a circle and then digs nntil be has reached the desired depth, which varies according to tbe number of stories he requires. The rooms consist of caves hollowed put In the sides of the circular pit. the bottom of which forms a patio, or courtyard, which is tbe ususl feature' of a Moorish house. Besides tbe rooms, a tiassage is also dug. communicating with the outside world, and a door Is made at tbe outer end. The soil, which Is a kind of malleable clay. Is easily cut and lends Itself well to excavation, tbe roof of each room requiring no support as long aa It Is arched. These underground dwellings are not damp. Chicago News. POSITION FOR SLEEP. A Variety ef pinions Among Iml newt French Medical Men. A number of eminent French medical men have given their opinion to tbe Matin of Paris on whst they consider the healthiest position for sleep. Dr. Delorme, army medical Inspector, declares that tbe natural position Is to He fiat on one's back. lrofessor Debone and Dr. Darenlere.of tbe School of Hygiene are .of the' same opinion scd point out thst lying on either side caases pressure of the arm. Which may eventually bring about paralysis. Dr. Landouty of tbe medical faculty says thst tbe best position Is the most . comfortsble position, and this Is acquired by habit. It would be well, however, to accustom oneself to sleep on the. right side. Dr. Letulle of tbe Medical academy maintains emphatically that tbe sleeper should alwsys Tie on tbe right side and thus avoid indigestion snd heart troubles. In startling contradiction comes a statement from a heart specialist. Dr. Hue hard: "I always sleep on my left side, and I think It Is quite Immaterial whether yon lie on your left or right' side. Tbe ides, however, thst those who cannot lie on the left side suffer from heart affection la quite What Brown Did.
