A FATAL ACCIDENT ,
Last Thursday evening as the
passenger from the east was ap-
proaching Wood Lake , Mr. and
Mrs. , V m. Lee , of Brownlee , and
their 7-year-old daughtervCaldoc ,
started hurriedly from the hotel to
board the train for Valentin ,
where Mrs. Lee had intended re-
maining for the winter to enter
the little girl in school and to re-
ceive proper medical attention and ]
care for herself. The hotel is on (
the street in line with the depc .
but it is necessary to cross the
track to reach the station. : 1r.
Lee carried tv'o grips and with his
daughter was a few steps in ad-
vanc < of his wife. Though the tra
was fast approaching , and but a
short way off , he gauged the dis-
tance and felt secure in crossin , ,
and did so , but just as he releasi
his- hold on the grips and set them
on the station platform , Caldoi
said"Papa , mama fell down , " and
the father , horrified , leaped to her
assistance. Barely had he raised
her body from the ground when
the locomotive struck them , toss-
ing himself to one side of the track
while Mrs. Lee's body was drug
beyond the
over the ties 150 yards
spot where the accident occurrei .
But for her clothing having beconr I
entangled , which held up her bod. , :
she doubtless would haVe been' '
ground under the merciless whee
of the engine. The engineer ai p-
plied the emergency brakes as soon
as he saw the woman fall , but the
distance was too short for the
. . The accidei
brakes to be effective.
was witnessed by persons at the
station who rushed to give first
aid to the injured ones. Stout hear
shrank from the awful sight as i
they beheld the mangled form of (
Mrs. . Lee on the cow-catcher of the ]
angine. .
It was evident that the unforti :
nate woman had received probabl
. Fatal injuries and Dr. Tische was
Summoned and instantly came to t
aid. The injured wereremoved to t I
the station waiting room , and the
train held up until temporary care
could bft given them.
Mrs. : Lee sustained a deep gash
.n the hip , extending across the :
ibdomen , the lower limbs wer
frightfully bruised and mangled ,
ler clothing torn into shreds but
ier face bore no marks. Mr. Lee '
injuries were not serious thoug
30 was struck in the right side of
the head } and bore an ugly gash
and bad bruise.
Ilestoratives applied , he soon
regained consciousness and had
the presence of mind to give in-
structions to have the little girl
taken to the home of a friend ui -
tJ : il I sent for , the parents of Mr . ! ; .
Lee wired to come at once to Ya -
jntine , also a sister and physicia
wired at Chadron. He thenbecarr
unconscious for a short time. The
injured were placed on stretchei
and in care of Dr. Tische , brougl ht
to Valentine , the train arrivin ; -
rery late , due to the long delay at
I Wood Lake and slow progrej
coming. Mr. and Mrs. Lee wei
taken ; to the home of John Harde
where accommodations had bee
provided. Her sister , Mrs. Sc < .
yille and l\usbandand I a physiciar
irrivod that night on the , 11:0C
o'clock train. Doctors Compto
and Hoxie were called into consu I ,
Cation. Dr. Jonas of Omaha wa
wired and came with a traine
nurse on the first train. Ever.i '
thing that human hands and med
cal skill could possibly do was ex.
erted to save the injured woman
but in vain. Friday a baby < ji ir
was born to her. Saturday he ]
condition seemed to be less hop <
Ful and Caldona was sent for ; he
Father , mother and sister froi
Brownlee also arriving Sunday
She passed away Monday aftei
. noon surrounded by those mos
, near and dear to her. She ha (
: recognized and spoke to the an
ious loved ones gathered about he
during intervals of consciousnes
the last day and knew the end wz
fast approaching.
: % /I / r. Lee will jolly recover fror
the injuries and awful shock ! he rE
ceived from the locomotive.
The infant child is hearty an
I gives promise of surviving ar
will be cared for- by the parents (
deceased Mr. and Mrs. S.0-.Cam
bsll , of Brownlee.
. Funeral services were conduc
ad by Rev. Caldwell , pastor of tl
. Presbyterian church of this cit ;
: at the Harden residence Tuesdt
morning at 11 o'clock. The r ,
r mains were taken to Brownlee f ( <
,
burial.
THE CHAMPION SERIES OF BALL
The eagerly antic J.ated series of
baseball games for the champio : -
ship of northwestern Nebraska and
southern Dakota was opened on the
local grounds Saturday afternoo .
The Burke , S. D. , team arrived i ; in
Valentine early Friday evening in i i
five fine autos , and with that big ,
affable manager , Mr. Sanderso ,
at the head of his "flying squadror "
like Dewey's flag ship steaming be-
fore that mighty squadron whic
stole into Manila bay that calm
May day , they presented a formidi -
ble aspect and sent a shudder of <
creeps into the camp of Manag <
Fischer's Invinciblesnot unlike that
feeling of momentary fear whic
suddenly possesses the unseasone
soldier at the first sight of the
enemy as he defiantly approache .
The first game , as advertised , was
called at 3:30 Saturday afternoon ,
and a good many of the lovers of
that best of all of the America
sports , abandoned work and bus ; -
ness , and hiked to the scene of bal -
, tie to lend their presence and yell
toward stimulating and urging our
boys on to-victory. But the halo
of seeming fear and alarm whic
surrounded them upon first sight of
the t enemy , would not away , and
with exception of afew of the "tried
ones , the locals took their sta-
tions arrayed in trembling. ' It i is i
not necessary to go into details to
tell what happened , for nearl
everybody knows what usually hap
pens to the individual or to the
army that goes into a fight or anj
thing else with weak knees and lack
of v confidence. Pa Grimes , tha
I calm , seasoned veteran , did his bes
and far . more than most pitcher
would have done , under such trying
conditions , but with all his splec -
did determination , sticking qualitie
and calmness in the box he coul
not stay the inevitable. The gam
ended in a crushing defeat , 9 f to 3.
A pall of gloom hung over the
rendezvous of the bas $ ball fratei -
nity of our village Saturday nigh
something not unlike that whic
possessed the inhabitants of the
recent forest fire district , and noth
ng ; could appease or comfort them ,
for [ the idols of their hope and joy
tiad fallen , while the mighty heroes
strutted about town , proud con
juerors that they were , with smiles ;
of glee on their phizes and jingling
Jamolions in their jeans , offering to ! .
wager any kind of odds that migb
please or tempt the sporting in -
alined , on the outcome of the gam
011 the morrow. Such sweet inor
sels as 5 to 1 were offered in vain
But when the news was " sprta
ibroad that offerings of 10 to 1
were > awaiting to be capped , that the
locals would not even make a scor
in the next game , the cloud of
* looin and depression that hoverei
50 densely in our camp , suddenl ; ;
bursted and vanished like an ex -
ploded soap bupple. Just as the
mn , that never fail # to shine eve ]
after the darkest hourp , so did that
, old spirit of confidence suclclenl ;
jome back as a flash and go lea-kin ;
and bounding down the whole line
I of players and fans. Their repu
ation : was being scandalously abus
3d , their prowess questioned , thei
pride dragged in the dust , anl Jt
caused their blood to fairly sizzle. A
jounsel of war was held and a defy : ;
in the shape of I he silencing "lonj
'
jreen" sent to the enemy's camp .
I . Everything offered was covered am
then began -the preparations to go <
in to win. Pa Grimes again ap -
_ peared in the t box , and though hi
fferings were frequently gobblei
. up , his support was good , and the
Doys had their batting clothes on
too ; , making the circuit for twenty ;
-tins to the visitors ten. It wa
_ a swat-fest , and told plainly wha
' ihe boys can do if they try. Tin (
[ Burge aggregation went up in the
} lir and came down again in closei )
_ parachute fashion. Three pitcher :
were put in the box and as oftei
sacrificed to the terrific bombard
ill en t.
Great gobs of grief now filled th
r souls of the Burkites and in thei
s
pocket-books great vacuums. Thei
s tiumiliation was sad to look upon
11 It was the Invisibles' turn t (
_ crow now , and crow they did , awak
ening every rooter and hall fiend i iI :
a" ' the town from his lethargy and ur
d interestedness. Store keepers wer
) f asked and agreed to close shop an
r come out to the final game on th
home grounds and with their pres
t- ence and enthusiasm inspire th
Ie player to greater elfort at Mor
I . , . day's game.
J .j . Monday dawned ensconsed i :
e- gloom , for a'dense blanket of cloud
) r I hi.d"tbe sun and the clammy ai
caused most everybody to haul 01
. .
. . . . .
winter cloaks and coats -those win
had none or had lost the pawr
ticket , shuddered and wond-.re <
about the absence of their summer'
wages. After dinner Old Sol peepe <
through the clouds , brightening .
things up , which caused renewe ( : I
activity in the local camp , for thi i
boys interpreted this as being a i
harbinger of good. Then , too , this .
was the twenty-fourth birth anni :
versary of Pitcher Caylor who would
occupy the box , and that in itseli :
was assurance of victory. And if. .
ever a pitcher was entitled to some !
of the good things floating around , , .
they're his. .
The game was called at the ac
customed hour , and though a stifi
southeasterly wind prevailed and
the air as frigid as on a December
day , and kept many snuggled up
close to the fire at home , there were
those who would have braved any
brand of weather rather than miss
that game , and come they did. \\re
s\ill wager a stick of gum against a
bottle of castoria , as Judge Walcott
would say , that never before or
never again will there be a more
enthusiastic aggregation of rooters
issernbled ] on the local diamond
than that which all but yelled their
beads off boosting the boys along
to victory. And the ladies , too ,
jlcss them , were there in good num-
jers to inspire the players , though
their ; teeth fairly rattled all the
while and their frames shook under
a double layer of wraps.
The visitors went to bat , and suc-
eecled ; in getting a man to first on
a fly that landed in center garden
ut'of reach , but their hopes were
mickly disjointed and they retired.
3oundou for the locals was given a
pass to first , advanced to second on
a passed ball , died stealing third and
thus ended the first act with honors
; iven - - an egg in either basket.
The second was ushered in by Kel-
ey who touched an ev.sone' , to
short. Rondeau threw to Fisher at
irst , who let it pass , allowing the
. runner to safe. Barrington came
ip and landed one almost in Cay-
or's bread basket. He threw to
' fcVelde'n at , second to cut off Kelley
ut he dropped it. Dotson found
'or a pop up that fell in the well -

I lor , rather , it had been better so and . ,
thus saved us the half hour agony - ! ; : .f
and shattered nerves that resulted , : - : : '
because it didn't , for it dropped in . ' ;
right garden out of reach of Adams. t . { : '
Then began a bombardment and ?
fusilade of errors the like of which ' _ .
was never recorded for it would '
have kept a battery of expert short ; . '
hand manipulators busy registering . : . . . .
all the things that happened in the " ' 1
short space of time that saw five f : : .

Burkites dash acroSR the platter. ' ,
I Every man on the team got a chance " , . -1
at the shillalah and swung it too.
But there's an end to all things
thank goodness. ' . '
Morey started the ball to rolling . "
for the locals and what followed , : ' ,
was a repitition of the "i ? itord' " :
production , in scores.
. . .
The Burkites substituted their
battery now and both teams settled . . .
I down to business. Not another f
score was made until the tenth in-
ning , when both tennis scored one.
"
In the twelfth Grimes and Cox . ;
both singled to short and were : , ' <
thrown out at first. Eoundeau lan . . . :
ded for a two-bagger , b isher got hit - ' . ' {
and went to first , and \Yelden , with '
confidence and revenge in his eagle ' . ; :
eye , a silver dollar in his hand which . . ; " > , .
he wanted to wager that he would - .

make a hit , stepped up to the plate . ' . * , ' :
