Only Two or Three Hurt and No
One Seriously by Fire
Crackers.
SEVERAL INJURED
IN OTHER WAYS
wMrs. Afex Stauff Injures Arm
and Three Have Narrow
Escape In Auto.
Coos Bay had a "sane and safo"
celebration of the Fourth of July,
and only a few sustained Injuries
from fireworks. Neither one of these
was serious. Marshal J. W. Carter's
edict prohibiting tho promiscuous
use of Are crackers, etc., undoubtedly
saved many youngsters sore Angers
and faces, and while some of them
were "sore" for the time being at tho
marshal, tho parents generally are
congratulating him for removing
many of their trials and tributatlons.
Charles Bailey of the Blanco hotel,
sustained tho worst Injury from flre-
works, probably, a sky rocket going
off. In his hand Saturday. The mem
ber was badly burned and bruised
and whilo very painful is not serious.
A young daughter of Ben Mathew
son had her hand slightly burned by
fireworks.
Mrs. Alex. Stauff Hurt.
Mrs. Alex Stauff sustained a severo
injury to her arm whilo enjoying an
outing with the family of Charles
Stauff and others. Mr. Stauff's en
gine was working poorly and T. J.
Hall was coming to tho rescue with
his launch. As the boats came near
together, Mrs. Stauff leached out to
prevent a Jolt but the boat lurched,
catching her arm between them.
Tho wrist was severely sprained and
tho arm badly bruised. Owing to the
arm being badly swollen, it is Impos
sible p determine whether one of tho
bon; was broken. The injury is
very gainful but the numerous
friends of tho estimable woman aro
hoping for her rapid recovery.
Autolsts Have Narrow Escape.
Seymour H. Boll, Tommy Castle
and E, Anderson had a narrow escape
from severe Injuries while taking an
automobllo spin early Sunday morn
ing. The front wheel of the auto
accidentally collided with the railing
of the elevated plank roadway on
North Front street, near tho Cold
Storage. Tho railing gave way and
the machine went off onto the
beach with the occupants. Luckily
tho auto did not turn turtle and
aside from a fow bruises and a severo
shaking up, the occupants escaped.
Thoy landed on a bed of shells, the
tide being out. The auto was only
slightly damaged.
Oilier Accidents.
L. A. Llljeqvlst whilo enjoying an
outing at Charleston Bay with a pic
nic party yesterday stepped on a nail,
severely Injuring his, right foot. Tho
najpenetrated, the flgsh two tyr three
Inches,, and wjiile very painful is not
expected to prove serious,
A sixteen-year-old son of Win,
Ward of Daniel's Creek, fell off a
cherry tree while picking tho fruit
this morning and sustained a frac
ture of the arm. The fracture Is a
severe one and Dr. Horsfall who at
tended the boy fears that it may re
sult in a stiff arm.
CLOSES FOR SUMMER.
Smith's Cafe Takes a Temporary
Business Vacation.
The proprietors of Smith's Cafe
have decided to close their restaurant
during the summer season. This
concern operates three restaurants
and Smith's catered to tho high class
trade and during tho summer vaca
tion season and light travel it was
thought that one of their other
places, tho Molroso, could take care
of the trade. All commutation tic
kets will bo honored at the Melrose.
Smith's Cafe will be opened imme
diately after tho quiet season and
will be in operation before the open

Local Team Takes Good Game
Bandon and Coquille
Have Row.
Marshflcld won from North Bend on
the North Bend grounds again yester
day by a score of four to two. The
Marshfleld aggregation had on their
'batting clothes and found Taylor
good and Hard while North Bend
was unable to do much with Theile.
The game was a good one from start
to finish and the crowd was well
pleased except the North Bend en
thusiasts who expected their team's
luck to turn. Theile's three-bagger
was the feature of the batting.
Marshfleld was first at the bat anil
Immediately started the game off
right by getting ono run. Owen got
a pass and then stole second. Thlelo
hit on tho ground while Owen was
caught out between second and third
after an exciting chase. Theile, how
ever succeeded In making second
while the game of tag laste'd. Rut
ledge tho next batter failed to con
nect with Taylor's curves, but Butler
hit the ball squarely, getting a beau
tiful two bagger and scoring Thiele.
McKeown was put out by a hot
ground ball to the pitcher 'and the
inning ended.
Marshfleld added three more runs
to the score in the second which was
the last of the scoring for the vis
itors although thoy had several
chances to score later. Bryan was
put out on a ground ball to Keane,
but Met chant got a hit, stole second
and went to third on a passed ball
It being the third strike and Cowan
made first on it. Dimirlck got a
pretty single and Merchant scored.
Cowan was caught asleep on third
babe while Owen got free transporta
tion to first. And now with men on
first and second and two gone the
real heart-breaking play of the game
for tho home team was neatly pulled
off by Thiele who landed squarely on
the ball driving it to tho fence bring
ing everybody in, while he was bare
ly touched out at tho home plate
while trying to make a three-bagger
a home run.
Two hits and a stolen base gave
North Bend a run in the third while
a couple of errors and on top of this
two stolen bases by Keane added the
second and last score to North
Bend's tally sheet.

Contest Between Creaserton
and Greenlaw Proves Feature
of Last Day.
A neck and neck struggle for the
last eighth and down the stretch be
tween Greenlaw and Creaserton, with
Greenlaw going under the wire a
head and neck to the good, was the
feature of the last day of the Coos
Bay July race meet Saturday. It
was a three-quarters dash and while
a good race, there was a feeling that
Bobbie Wilson didn't get all there
was in Creaserton out of him espe
cially at tho finish. Creaserton took
the lead after the first quarter but
both lagged a trifle as they neared
the quarter, Greenlaw taking the
pole and forging a trifle ahead of
Creaserton. Creaserton came in
close on the outside with his nose
just ahead of Greenlaw's shoulder
on the last turn but somehow or
other he didn't make the final spurt.
It was a pretty finish, nevertheless,
and compelled the entire crowd to
hold their breath not a sound being
audible throughout the grandstand
for a moment.
The races were a greater success
than had even been hoped for by
the most enthusiastic. The weather
was almost ideal, aside from a fitful
brisk breeze that Bwept the track.
The crowd practically filled the en
larged grandstand. Everything
went off in good shape although the
Intervals between events occasional
ly became a little wearisome and
made many long for the strains of a
band, which undoubtedly would have
been furnished had the management
anticipated anywhere near the at
tendance that favored them. The
only unpleasant feature of the after
noon's program was what was to
have been a bucking mule exhibition
but which proved to be more of an
exhibition of brutality.

LOOKS AS THOUGH
BRYAN IS A WINNER
National Committee Meets to
Decide Contests This
Afternoon.
(By Associated Press.
DENVER, Colo., July 6. It is
doubtful if Teodore A. Bell, who is
scheduled to call the National Dem
ocratic Convention to order here to
morrow, will be able to reach here in
time to do so. Mr. Bell went to Lin
coln, Neb., to confer with W. J.
Bryan and a terrific rainstorm last
night has cut off that city's railroad
connections with the outside world.
A long-distance message this after
noon states that Bryan is using his
influence to have a special train take
Bell to Omaha where U can take a
southern route to Denver. It Is like
ly that this will be done.
On the eve of the convention, it
looks as though Bryan will be an
easy winner of the nomination al
though the opposition to him is work
ink hard. Owing to the grent num
ber of candidates for second place,
no one has any idea of who will bo
chosen.
"Judge Gray's name has not been
withdrawn and under no circum
stances will it be withdrawn," said
Jose Marvel, manager of the Gray
presidential forces in answer to a'
persistent report that Gray had tele
graphed instructions td his friends
explicitly withdrawing his name.
Tnminnny Is Disappointed.
The Tammany hundreds from New
York City arrived today. The big
crowd at tho station was disappoint
ed at the announcement that there
would be no demonstration of any
kind. Senator Patrick McCarren's
Brooklyn delegation, most of them
contestants In the fight between Mc
Carren and Murphy, also arrived
early today.
Towne Ts Jubilant.
At the vice-presidential head
quarters of Charles A. Towne of New
York, favorable reports ire being re
ceived, It was claimed, from many
delegates. The Missourians Straw
vote on a train showed the entire
delegation to be for Towne except
two who favored John Mitchell, tho
labor leader. The Oklahoma delega
tion while no formal action waB
taken, had been canvassed and found
to stand for Towne. Several south
ern delegations also expressed a pre
ference for Towne.
