FIGHT
Of Ai Exciting Nature At The
B. 10. Station
The big Independence Day celebra
tion at Utlca extended to Mt. Vernon
Friday afternoon, or rather a part
of It was brought here by B. & O.
passenger train No. 3 due at '2: 42 o'
clock. Two local men alighted upon
the platform of the station when th
train stopped and immediately started
in to see' which was the best man.
Very little time was taken up in de
ciding this for one man quickly knock
ed the other under the wheels of the
passenger train which, fortunately,
was at a standstill. The participants
in the flght, It Is said, were encour
aged in their flght by "spirits" of a
nature that are tor sale In Utlca. They
made their escape before the police
arrived.

Friday afternoon while the train was

While trimming broken branches
from a tree in front of the home of
Mr. and Mrs. George A. Moore at 107
South Mulberry street at 5 o'clock Fri
day evening, George Nine, a roomer
at the Moore home, fell backward and
struck heavily upon the ground. A
deep gash was cut on the back ot his
bead exposing the skull. His spine
was injured slightly. His condition
was somewhat Improved Saturday.
Mr. Nine had climbed to a height
ot about fifteen feet and was trying
to reach a limb that had been broken
by the wind. While standing upon
one limb he reached over his head
and grasped another. The limb prov
ed to be dead and brittle and it broke
letting him tall backward to the
ground. He was unconscious when
carried In tho house, but was revived
after a physician had worked over
him for several minutes. Chances
are good for his recovery.
Rumor has it that charges may be

After The Contest Played li
The Afternoon
The Box Scores Stowlif How
Games Were Played
Fair weather and an Immense
crowd greeted the double header ball
games between the Moose and All
Stars of the city league on Friday.
The heat was almost unendurable
especially so at the morning game
when It was hard on players and
spectators alike. A large crowd at
tended each contest and seemed to
be well pleased with the brand ot
ball displayed.
Each team was handicapped more
or less, the All-Stars being so on ac
count of lack ot team practice, while
the Moose star men were hardly flt
to play on account ot injuries.
The morning game was all to the
Moose, who made a total of 11 runs
In three innings and then seemed
content to hold the scofe against
them low. Davis and Taylor were to
pitch the opener but Injuries to Dav
is prevented him from working, con
sequently the work fell on Taylor.
With the exceptions of the second
and sixth innings when hits were
bunched Taylor held the hard hitting
opponents sate. Critchfleld, who fin
ished, seemed to have the goods. Poor
fielding marked the work ot tho All
Stars in this contest. The game fea
ture was a three-base smash' by II
ger. The afternoon game was the head
liner as nearly 2,50 watched the play.
Cromley and Dial opposed each other
on the mound and when these pitch
ers retired In favor of relief men the
score stood four all, Each team pro
ceeded to pound the new men and
8obn amassed 15 runs, the final count
being 13-12 favoring the morning win
ners. Baseball ot all degrees and stages
was played and each team lost chanc
es of sewing up the game at critical
times.
Poor base running probably cost
the All-Stars the game, at least It
may have gone into extra innings It
more caution were used in sending
men around. The Moose fielded loose
ly and eight opponents were able to
get the first cushion on errors.
Heavy hitting and fast fielding by
the outer gardeners were the game
features, Sullivan's three base hit
being the longest of the game.
Great spirit among the men was
shown and few unpleasant Incidents
happened, The work of the umpires
waa w up to the minute and every one
was pleased by the manner in which
the home players play the great na
tional game,

. But Of The House
A Most Exciting Time For
Nearly An Hour
As the result of a flgit at the home
of his father-in-law, George B. Bot
kin, at 803 West Chestnut street
Thursday evening, Lawrence Brlcker
is at the Mt. Vernon hospital with
inree severed arteries and several
ligaments In his right wrist. Botkln's
nose was bruised and cut but neither
Is In a serious condition. Brlcker
lost a great deal of blood before he
could secure surgical attention, but,
barring a weakened constitution, he
is In a very good condition consider
ing thesnature or his Injuries.
The trouble It lsald, grew out of
domestic difficulties between Brlcker
and his wife, the latter being Bot
kln's daughter. '
The report Is that Bricker went
home Thursday evening and mistreat
ea nis wire to such an extent that
she left the house and went to the
home of her parents with the evident
Intention of staying there. Brlcker Is
said to have followed her and, after
heated words, started In to whip the
entire Botkin family.
It is alleged he met with notable
success while battling with the fem
inine side, viz. Mrs. Botklns and Tlor-
ence, but found stlffer opposition
when he met the head of the family.
This flght Is said to have lasted over
an hour with the advantage varying
from one contestant to another. Calls
for the police were sent In, but no re
sponse came immediately. The dis
turbance was so marked that neigh
bors were alarmed and several men
went Into 'the Botkin home to Invest!
gate. They separated the fighters and
forced Brlcker out of the door and
kept Botkin Inside.
When Brlcker was ejected from the
house the door was locked and he
could not re-enter. After attempting
to force the door without" success he
thrust his right flst through the panel
of glass In the upper halt of it and it
was theu that he received his wound.
The Jagged glass cut deeply 'luto his
wrist and completely severed the ar
teries and ligaments.
Bricker knew Immediately that he
was badly cut and quickly cooled
down his anger. He made known his
condition to the men Inside the house
aud they went to his aid. During the
short time after the arteries were cut
and before aid was given him, the
youns man lost an alarming quantity
of blood and was for a time in a ser
ious condition. A ligature was finally
applied above the elbow and the flow
of blood was partially checked. Mc
Cormlck's ambulance was called and
Brlcker was taken to the Mt. Vernon
hospital where a physician rendered
surgical attention.
When an Inventory ot the damage
done by Brlcker to the Botkin family
was taken it was found that none of
them had been seriously Injured.
Florence's face was somewhat bruised
and Botkln's nose was slightly askew.
Mrs. Botkin had been wearing glass
es when the trouble started but they

said, by a blow from Brlcker's fist.
Her nose and face were bruised con
siderably. The police arrived upon the scene
of the trouble Just as It was over aad
