Early this morning there occurred
wreck on the Sumpter Valley that
might have resulted fatally had It
not been for the. presence of mind
of the engineer and fireman who
Jumped - when they saw an open
switch and saved themselves ; from
going into the river with the engine,
says the Baker Herald,
A logging train left Baker at 6:30
this ' morning and and at the rock
quarry 13 miles south of town where
the paving company has been taking
out stone, the engine struck an open
switch and left the rails, toppling
over Into the river. " The fireman
jumped and escaped with ' a few
slight scratches, but Engineer Brown
was thrown against a rail and his
back was severely hurt A member
of the crew, immediately telephoned to
headquarters In this city and an en
gine and one car of the passenger
train was Immediately :. dispatched
to the scene with a doctor. The .in
jured man was brought, to this city
and taken to his home where he. Is
now resting quite easily.
. That the Open switch, was the work
of a criminal is shown by the fact
that the lock had been broken and
the switch thrown. The track is
. heavy grade iiem uuu iu imiu
was not running fast or the result
might have been different There is
no Indication of who the guilty party j
could have been, but . the company
has offered a reward of $500 for the
arrest and conviction of the guilty i
person, or persons. '; . i ;

- Talk about your pitchers having con
trol of the ball, here's a little stunt
that Harry Covaleskl, the big Pole,
pulled 'off during practice- jthe other
morning that Is surely going some in
handling the pill. .' Several Reds were
arguing . as to who had the most con
trol.. i . -
"I'll tell you what I'll do," said "Co
rey." '.'If two of you chaps will stand

heads a foot apart I'll throw ;the ball
into his hands between your heads sii
times running." .. A ..,;.,''.;. ;. -. . ..
Harry .Qaspar had confidence In Har
ry's accurate aim and agreed to be one
of the two to stand np and let "Covey?
see how near, he could come without
bitting him. V- v iJ
Others were- not so -confident .until
Mike Konnick volunteered. So Gas
par and Konnick stood .up over; an
imaginary plate, leaned forward until
their foreheads were but a foot apart,
and "Covey" Bet himself to the task.
He wound ud for the throw and lot tho

went In the same place, and Gaspar

dence In the young Pole, heaved a
sigh of relief when the stunt was over.
