HORSE GOT RID
OF ROOSEVELT
Unruly Young Animal Proved
Too Much for President.
Washington, June J.—Presi¬
dent Roosevelt late yesterday af¬
ternoon had a narrow escape from
a serious accident while horse¬
back riding in Rock Creek park.
Mrs. Roosevelt was with the
president and the rumors of the
affair which gained currency test
night were denied at the white
house at the time, as neither the
president nor Mrs. Roosevelt
spoke of the affair upon their re¬
turn. The rumors came from the
occupants of several carriages
who saw the accident.
The president was riding a new
horse, a young animal. The
party rode down through a cut in
a hank, on the other side. The
president’s horse reared, the
president leaned forward in the
saddle and threw the reins down
in loops so as to avoid pulling the
horse backwards. Again on
reaching the top of the bank the
horse reared a second time and
the president leaned forward
again, but the anirual stood up
straight on its hind legs and then
went over backward into the
creek with the president.
Feeling that he was going
backward, the president slipped
from the saddle and, as luck
would have it, fell into the creek
close beside the horse, which
landed on its back. The horse
fell on the down stream side of
the president, who, realizing that
he would be in danger from the
animal’s feet should the horse
turn toward him, got out of the
way as rapidly as possible. The
horse, however, turned over from
the president amt got up. He
was captured at once, the presi¬
dent remounted and rode for an
hour and a half before returning
to the white house. The fall
from the horse’s back to the
stream lied was a distance of
more than ten feet. The stream
was about two feet deep with an
exceedingly rocky bed. Neither
the president nor the horse re¬
ceived the slightest injury.
President Roosevelt’s two reg
uliir riding horses were out of
coin mission yesterday, both
being indisposed. The presi¬
dent’s orderly wished to try out
the new horse, but the president
took it upon himself to do this,
lie regards the horse he rode as
a good one, but being young, he
has a tendency to rear up on
slight provocation. The presi¬
dent was dressed in khaki and
tlie fact that he got thoroughly
wet did not become apparent to
those who saw him after the ac¬
cident. Several carriages which
had crossed the ford just ahead
of the president stopped and the
occupants were alarmed at
was ; happening. • The experience •
with its many serious possibili
tie* has not dulled the presi
dent’s pleasure in riding and he
takes considerable gratification
in the test of his horsemanship,
as both times the animal reared
he instinctively threw himself
forward so that his bead was di-
recti vely beside that of the rear¬
ing annimal, and the reins being
thrown loose, had no tension
whatever to pull the horse back¬
ward .
BUY AN FAVORED
BY LOUISIANA
But the Delegates to Denver Go
Uninstructed
Baton Rouge, La,, June 8.—
W. J. Bryan was tonight endors¬
ed for the presidency by the
democratic state convention here.
It was decided, however, to send
the Louisiana delegation to Den¬
ver uninstructed. Both the Bry¬
an resolution and the decision to
send delegatee uninstructed were
adopted unani m o u s l y, P r e
viouslv a resolution instructing
the delegation to vote for W. J.
Bryan “as long as his name re¬
mains before the convention”
hid been overwhelmingly voted
down. Louisiana will have ten
delegates at Denver.
N. 0. Blanchard, who has just
retired as governor, lost his seat
in the convention for which he
was contesting as a representa¬
tive of Caddo parish. The entire
delegation opposing the former
governor’s delegation was seated.
This complete defeat for Mr.
Blanchard destroyed his chances
for selection ns one of the dele
gates-at-large to Denver, for
which position he had been con¬
sidered a prominent candidate.
Delegates-at-large: United
States Senator Murphy J. Foster,
Franklin Last; Governor J Y, L.
Sanders, Baton Rouge; United
States Senator 8. D. Mclnery and
Mayor Martin Berman, New Or¬
leans.
Baltimore, Md., June 8.—At
the democratic state convention
held here today, delegates to the
national convention at Denver
were elected and a platform
adopted. The latter makes no
mention of the candidacy for the
presidential nomination of Wil¬
liam J. Bryau, and his followers,
who had been demanding half
the delegation sent to Denver,
count but four sure Bryan men
among the sixteen delegates
chosen, j The close of the con¬
vention came amid considerable
confusion, following the state¬
ment of a delegate that he had
intended to offer resolution
looking to instructions favorable
t>) Bryan, but , had been dis¬
suaded, aud an endeavor of an¬
other delegate to second the oth¬
er’s motion though none had been
made.

SPRING PLACE
DEFEATS DALTON
In a fast Game Last Satur
urday Afternoon.
DICKSON AND ANDERSON
WERE OPPOSING PITCHERS
Hitting of the Locals When Hits
Meant Runs Won the Game—Dick¬
son’s Batting Was Main feature of
the Game.
Spring Place and Dalton base
ball teams crossed bludgeons on
the latter’s grounds last Satur¬
day afternoon the final score re¬
sulting in a victory for the Weals
i l to 7.
Dickson and Patterson were
doing the battery work for the
locals while Anderson and Kidd
were doing the same for Dalton.
The locals took the bat and
went out in one, two, three
order. When Dalton went to
bat they landed on Dickson for
three hits, which netted two
runs, Dickson striking out three
men in the first inning. But
Spring Place had their batting
eye with them and soon found
the ball.
At the end of the 4th inning
the score stood I to 1 in favor of
Dalton, but the locals soon got in
the game and things took on a
different hue and when the
smoke of battle cleared away the
score stood 11 to 7 in favor of
Spring Place.
A summary of the game as
nearly as can be given follows:

Eton Wins From Fail-mount,
Eton Sluggers went down to
Fairmount last Saturday and won
from them, the score being 12 to
8, Both teams were crippled
and this accounts for seemingly
large score. Curtis, the left
handed pitcher, pitched a good
game for Fairmount, he was re¬
lieved at the end of the fifth
inning by Bragg who is a twirler
of no mean ability, Neal, the
mute, did the receiving. Sarvis
pitched a steady game for the
locals, while Willbanks took his
benders in Big League style.
In this connection, the Eton
team wishes to say that the citi¬
zens of Fairmount, the ball team
aud umpire treated them better
than they have ever been treated
at home or abroad. There was
not a wrangle, nor any indication
of that unbearable monster
“booze.” Eton team will ala-ays
be indebted to Fairmount citi¬
zens and ball team for the hos¬
pitality shown it while there.
A man who is in perfect health,
so he can do an honest day’s
w-ork when necessary, has much
for w-hich he should be thankful.
Sir. L. (J. Rodgers, of Brancbton,

unable to work, but he couldn’t
stoop over to tie his own shoes.

NEW PR0HI BILL
FOR LOUISIANA
Under the Bill Prohis Cannot
Lose, But May Gain All.
Baton Rouge, La , June 8.—
The prohibition forces in the
assembly made an important at¬
tack on the opposition today by
the introduction in the house of
a bill, which provides for sub¬
mitting the question of state
wide prohibition to a vote of. rhe
people by congressional districts.
There are seven districts. Here¬
tofore the prohibitionists have
out urged the only state, prohibition exclusive through¬ of New
Orleans, but it was announced
today that they had united in
support of the new measures.
The bill is unusual, from the
fact that it is a combination of
referendum and of local option.
By its provisions the districts
voting against the 6aloon would
become “dry,” but whether or
not the districts voting for the
saloon would remain wet would
be determined by the total vote
throughout the state. The bill
will as now framed secure from
the whole state an expression of
opimou upon state-wide prohibi¬
tion, and at the same time it
will not endanger the status of
the considerable territory which
is already “dry” under local
laws.
