GREGORY'S VERSION OF GAME.
Gregory Paper Tells Story as Seen by
the Visitors.
Here's what the Gregory Times haste
to say about the Norfolk-Gregory ball
game which ended In a row last week :
The champions went down to Nor
folk Friday and played the Norfolk
team to a standstill , neither side being
able to score in the seven Innings ,
when our boys refused to play without
a new umpire , as Howe , of Norfolk ,
had given them a rotten deal all along ,
calling men out who were clearly safe.
Every time Gregory got a man on third
he would call strikes until he retired
the side. Norfolk never got a man to
third and didn't have a look In. Greg
ory outplayed them at every point , but
couldn't beat the ump and the game
broke up In a row over a decision.
Gregory objected to Howe going in
before the game started , but the Nor
folk management promised a square
deal and to change If he gave any rank
decisions , but when the pinch came
they wouldn't do It. The ump calls
the game forfeited to Norfolk 9 to 0.
The break came over a decision at
third. One man was out , Haak of
Norfolk was on second and Anderson
on first , when the batter hit to Gra
ham , who was near the line between
second and third , and when he at
tempted to touch the runner out Haak
ran ten feet out of the line to avoid
him , whereupon Graham threw to first ,
knowing that Haak was out under the
rules for running out of the lines , but
Howe called him safe.
Our team refused to go on with
Howe In the game , although Norfolk
offered to call the man out on third
because our boys knew that they jusl
couldn't get a fair deal from Howe
who had it In for Gregory on account
of some past grievance.
Lightning at Gregory.
Gregory Times : During the storm
Friday night a bolt of lightning struck
the Al Walton house about 2 o'clock
in the morning and seemed to go over
the whole house , as every room waf
damaged to some extent. It struck the
chimney and went into the partitior
between the hall and the boys' roon
and it burst out on both sides , the
main bolt going through the boys
room , striking a bureau which stoo <
against the wall , tearing the glass and
top off , then jumped across the boys
bed in a big ball of fire right over the
boys and burst out through the wall tea
a woven wire trellis which ran to the
ground. The boys' bed is Iron and i
is thought that the only thing that
saved them was that they were sleeu
Ing on a feather bed. Another bol1
went down through the floor from a
post of Mr. and Mrs. Walton's bed ant
threw plaster over the children sleep
Ing on the floor down stairs. Before
going down it broke two lamps on the
table , one of them being lit at the
time , but went out when struck. If 1' '
had not there would have been a tei
rlble flre , as the oil was scattered ill
over the room. One bolt went out
through the gable and one followed
the ridge , going down the northwest
edge of the roof , ripping a path about
a foot wide through the shingles. The
strangest part of all Is that none of
the family was hurt and not one got a
shock.
On Saturday night a bolt struck the
upper story of the land office about the
middle of the south side , and tore the
frame of one of the big windows to
pieces , but not breaking a glass. No
damage appears at all on the other
side. The bolt must have gone out on
the telephone wires , which were at
tached to this window sill as the two
bare ends of the connecting wires of
fered a ready escape for It.

Armstrong will enter upon his dutlos

Storm Wrecks the Grandstand.
The second ball game between Nor
folk and Valentine nt Valentino Thurs
day afternoon ended abruptly In the
fourth Inning , when a furious rain and
windstorm came along and unroofed
the grandstand , carrying the amphi
theater about 100 feet and injuring a
number of persons.

back of his head , thirteen Inches long.

owed the wind.
Fourth Inning ; Game 0 to 0.
It was the last half of the fourth
nning and the game stood 0 to 0. Nor
folk was at bat with a man on third
and no men out. It was about 3:30 :
o'clock. Suddenly n deluge of rain
came out of the heavens and a roaring
wind swept the diamond. The players
ran to the grandstand for protection ,
only to find that the promised shelter
md been picked up In the teeth of the
wind and carried away.
Tottenhoff was more seriously In-
lured than anybody else when the
grandstand began to blow away ,
ihough a number of persons were
struck and bruised by flying timbers.
Unconscious for an Hour.
A big timber came shooting through
the air and Tottenhoff chanced to be
in Its path. The heavy missile struck
liira squarely on top of the head , cut
ting a long , ugly gash and laying him
out. He was unconscious for an hour.
It required thirteen stitches to sew
the badly torn flesh together. Totten
hoff felt weak and looked like a migh
ty sick man when he reached Norfolk
Friday morning.
Buckmaster Needs Rabbit's Foot.
The Norfolk team has been running
In hard luck by way of accidents.
Brown and Buckmaster were both badly
ly Injured In a fierce collision on the
field when each was running for a fly.
Later Buckmaster wrenched his knee
by sliding. And In this storm he was
hurt again.
A Beautiful Game of Ball.
Tottenhoff said the game that ended
so unexpectedly was a beautiful exhi
bition of the national pastime , with
both teams fighting hard for a victory.
The Norfolk team , with the excep
tion of Tottenhoff , stopped off at Alns-
worth to play Friday afternoon , pro
viding rain did not prevent.
Two New Players Signed.
Two new players have been added
to the Norfolk ball team. Ed Spell-
man of Omaha , a corking catcher who
used to play with the Dodge team , and
Joel K. Ward , a fast inflelder , have

of Archie Ward , one of Norfolk's great
pitchers , and from now on Norfolk Is

telescoped until It was only twelve feet
long , by actual measurement.
Woman Dies Across His Feet.
Dixon tells of a sickening moment
when one poor woman , the top of her
head knocked off by a big timber , died
lying across his broken leg.
Following Is a part of the letter :
Well , old man , I guess I'm up against
a "big cigar" for awhile. It will be
six or seven weeks before I get up out '
of this into a wheel chair. It was the
fiercest deal I was ever In or saw. I
stood and watched them come right
. together. I could not get away from
It. That car looked as big as a moun
- tain. The car in which I was riding
telescoped until It was only twelve
feet long by actual measurement. Ten
people were killed around me. I was
lucky. One woman died across my
legs , the top of her head knocked off
- by a big timber , besides slivers run
Into her body. It was a sickening
sight. I was blood all over from a cut
on the head of my own and others
bleeding over me.
So far twenty-three are dead , 102
Injured. This hospital is overcrowded
not help enough , flies are fierce , no
screens at the windows or doors , the
grub is the limit always cold. I
, asked the guy yesterday how far away
the kitchen was. He said , "Oh , it's
right down here. " I told him I thought
It was a couple of miles away , as
everything was always cold.
This hospital "dip" is simply rotten.
I'd give a good deal for a cup of
ma'am's good coffee. Been having
some fever , but It's going down now.
Slept pretty good last night ; night be-
fore , not nt all.
I have been spitting blood ever
, since the wreck. Dr. Is looking after
It , though. Can't write any more
, my arm Is too tired from writing , now.

Tllden Girl Has Pet Skunk.
Probably the only pet skunK In cap
tivity is owned by Miss Lucile Bliss ,
daughter of D. W. Bliss , of Tllden.
City Clerk "Ed Haiter who was at Til-
tlen for n short visit with the Bliss
family Thursday was much surprised
when the young lady requested him
: o come and see her pet which she
had enclosed in a cage.
When she opened the door the
skunk commenced a series of dances
and finally jumped on the young
lady's shoulder rubbing its nose on
lier cheek and In every way acting
like a pet kitten. The skunk follows
Miss Bliss wherever she goes and
obeys her commands with the obed
ience of a pet dog that has gone
through much training.
Neighbors disdain the idea of hav
ing a skunk for a pet but this does
not break the close attachment the
skunk and Miss Bliss have formed for
each other.
Among the other pets which Miss
Bliss has is n squirrel which also is
playful and the three friends spend
delightful hours romping on the
lawn.
Owing to the fact that Miss Bliss
has had this skunk ever since Its
birth It has become almost as harm
less as a kitten. From her own hand
does the skunk receive Its dally meals
which consist of bugs , worms , and for
dessert usually he gets a frog for
which he shows great relish.

Saves Life of Wayne Woman.
Mrs. M. A. Phillips of Wayne may
consider herself very fortunate and
also very much Indebted to John Deck

City train at the Union depot at noon.
Mrs , Phillips attempted to board the
train after It had gained considerable
headway , and was thrown partly be
tween the platform and the rail. But
for the quick and ready work of Deck
er she would undoubtedly have been
run over. Decker sustained a rather
painful bruise on his shoulder by be

J. L. MEAD CYCLE COMPANY , CHICAGO , ILL.
which the theater has ever IPK " a
season. "Tho Man on The fiox. " is
so well known as one of the bis successes
i
cesses that It Is believed the opening
will be most auspicious.
It has been demonstrated during sea
sons past that Norfolk people appre
ciate the high grade theatrical attrac
tions , and the Auditorium management
Is pleased to be able to announce a
greater number of high quality attrac-1
tlons for the coming season than have
ever been seen In the city In any one
season.
Theater Panic Is Over.
Last year was the hardest year dur
ing the past decade on the show busi
ness , due to the panic of October , 1907.
When the financial Hurry came , theatrical -
atrical attractions went to the wall by
the hundred and at the end of the
1907-S season few were left on the
road. The east failed to recuperate
from the effects of the money strin
gency last fall and , as the east pro
duces the shows of the country , there
was a scarcity of attractions all last
season which made playhouse mnn-
agers grey headed with worry. It was
almost Impossible last .year to get any
attractions and those that were se
cured had to be begged for and fought
for.
It's Different This Year.
But It's different this year. Times
have changed In the east and prosper
ity Is again In evidence. The theatric
al producers see prosperity ahead , and
as a result are planning more good
attractions for this season than the
country has known In a decade.
Among the list of high class attrac
tions to be seen during the season
are :
"The Third Degree. "
Edmund Carroll , formerly with
Walker Whlteside , now owning a high
J grade stock company.
The Lyman Twins in a new musical
comedy.
"The House of a Thousand Candles. "
"Little Johnnie Jones. "
"The Man of the Hour. "
W. B. Patten , already a favorite In
Norfolk.
"Fifty Miles Prom Boston. "
"The Honeymooners. "
"The Traveling Salesman. "
"Polly of the Circus. "
"Strong Heart. "
A New Distinction for Norfolk.
In securing "The Third Degree" for
this year , Norfolk has gained a new
distinction along theatrical lines. This
will be the very first time that Norfolk
has ever secured a New York success
at the same time the play was running
In New York.
"The Third Degree" came out last
year and was one of the big successes
on Broadway. It Is written by Charles
Klein , author of "Tho Lion and the
Mouse , " which appeared here In the
spring and which was regarded by
many theatergoers as the one best at
traction Norfolk had ever seen.
"The Third Degree Is under the
same management as "The Lion and
the Mouse" Henry B. Harris.
This play starts In its new run In
New York city tomorrow at the Hud
son theater.
Upon the basis of the support given
the Auditorium In the top-notch at
tractions which will be brought to
Norfolk early In the season , will de
pend the management's success In get
ting big llrst raters later. In fact ,
some of those listed above are now
booked conditionally , depending upon
the patronage accorded attractions
early In the season owned by the same
producing managers.
The present management of the Au
ditorium has tried to constantly Im
prove the quality of attractions se
cured for Norfolk , and with the co
operation of Norfolk this will bo the
most delightful theatrical season the
town has over seen.
Never before was an attraction of
the calibre of "Tho Man on the Box"
secured for the September opening ,
and never have there been so many
high grade shows willing to come to
the Auditorium upon a guarantee of
the support which such shows must
have.
