Frank Cree, the center fielder of the New York Yankees, stealing home during the recent Yankee-Red Sox game in Boston. Cree and Roach worked a double steal, but the center field collegian was not satisfied with this. After taking a long lead from third, he stole home before the pitcher of the Red Sox could wind himself up to twirl the ball to the catcher.

CHANGE IN CHARGE New Affidavit Alleging Assault With Intent Is Placed Against McMillan. MAY NOT BE PROSECUTED. The charge which has been pending in the circuit court against Lemuel McMullen of Dublin, was dismissed this morning by Prosecuting Attorney Charles Ladd and an affidavit alleging assault and battery with intent to kill Deputy Rabey of Dublin substituted. Though the affidavit alleges a serious offense, it is not expected it will be pressed as sentiment seems to favor McMullen. McMullen was shot in the leg, it is said, by Rabey during the former's flight from the posse and he still suffers much pain. No charge has been filed by the prosecutor against Rabey for his alleged shooting of McMullen.- Attorney Ladd stated that he. would await the outcome of McMulien's injuries before taking any action against the officer. , FRAUDS IN WHISKEY (American News Service) Philadelphia, Aug. 5.

From the time when- the .shocks were first observed, ' they continued for 47 minutes, growing stronger and stronger until 8:56 o'clock, when they diminished in strength, but did not entirely subside until 9:33. The peculiar and unusual feature of these shock Indications was the fact thut they were recorded with almost equal violence on. both ... seismographs, the vertical and the horizontal.
