Yesterday, he submitted to an opera tion, but his case is regarded as a very serious one. Particulars in the case of the tragic death of Floyd Munger have been very meager. Practically no details as to how the accident happened have been secured, or probably ever will be known. He was frightfully man gled, appearently every bane being broken. Mr. and.

The funeral services were conducted by Rev. R. Neumar ker. He was a laborer and leaves a family. Gottfried Ingold died very suddenly at his home in the east part of the city earlv Saturday morning. He arose in the morning, apparently well, and went out to a tent in the yard, where he was found some time later by members of the family and taken to the house, where he. died soon after. Apparently death was caused by heart failure. He had been a resident of this city far about twen ty years. He is survived by a wife and nine children, six sons and three daugnters.

Eight straight without a miss was the record of the Columbus team for eight days preceding the tumble of last Sunday. As a result, the team rose from seventh place to fourth and remained in the first division for one day. But SuSWay the tide turned again and the game was lost to Se ward, and Monday and Tuesday they lost to York at York. In yesterday's game the score was close with Col umbus in the lead until the last half of the last inning, when with two men out. and one an base a home run was knocked which reversed the score and took the game. The team will be watched with more concern and in terest than ever from now on"to the end of the season on account of the fact that there are but five mare weeks of the season. There is still time for Coimbus to stand out and make a good showing if they have good luck. One game has been for feited during the week, when last Friday. Umpire Edwards threw the game between York and Fremont to York, on account of the insubordina tion of Manager Bennett, which has become chronic as is admitted even by the Fremont Tribune. Both Fre mont and Superior are making hard fights to maintain the supremacy, first he and then the other heading the list by a narrow margin. Just now, Superior is in the lead, but not so much so. but Fremont can get it back again in a couple of days with the conditions right. Columbus will be back home again Sunday for a ser ies of twelve more games three each with York. Superior. Kearney and Grand Island. The remainder of this week will be spent at Kearney.
