BASEBALL AT CLEM
The Condon baseball team
went to Clem Sunday and crossed
bats with the team at that place.
Thomas Gray, the new pitcher
for Condon, did fine work in the
box until he was put of commis
sion in the first half of the 8th
inning, when he was struck
on the head by a pitched ball
while batting:. The blow ren
dered him unconscious for sev
eral minutes and he was unable
to finish the game. Mr. Clar
ence Wright, brakeman on the
Arlington-Condon railroad, . then
went Into the box to take' his
place but not having had any
practice for some time the Clem
boys made six runs in the last
two innings and won the game
by one score. The game was
exciting from start to finish as
both teams played good ball.
Following is the lineup and score.

1 SERIOUS ACCIDENT
Swan son Erickson who has a
homestead northwest of Condon :
and who has lately been work-!
ing for John Dysart was thrown J
from his horse last Saturday j
morning while trying to run Mr. j
Dysart's horses in from the field, !
and sustained injuries that will j
probably prove fatal. He was
riding around a steep side hill
when his horse threw him and
he struck on his head and
shoulders, dislocating his spinal
column which caused instantly a
complete paralysis of his body.
He rolled fifty yards down the
hill before coming to a stop a
gainst a large rock where he was
found about four hours later. Dr.
Wood was immediately called and
did all he could to ease the suf
ferer. He was brought to Dr.
Woods office Sunday morning and
after a complete examination it
was decided that an operation
was necessary and he was taken
to the St Vincent Hospital in
Portland Tuesday by Dr. Wood.
The chances for his recovery are
very slight as his spinal cord is
probably completely severed or
at least is bruised in such a man
ner that when the pressure is
removed the inflammation will
probably immediately travel to
the brain.
A LIVELY RUNAWAY
J. R. Wells and wife had a
runaway Saturday evening while
going home from town. Mr.
Wells was leading a horse and it
became frightened at a dog
which ran up behind him, got
one leg through the spokes of
the rear wheel and trying to .ex
tricate itself turned the buggy
completely over. Mr. and Mrs.
Wells were both thrown to the
ground but outside of a few
bruises no harm was done. The
horses broke the tongue' out of
the buggy and sprung the axles
but "Windy" says he considers
himself lucky in getting off with
so little damage.
jonlTm Ffljiffss '
The play given last Friday
night by local talent under the
auspices of the St Thomas
Aquinas' School, was a decided
success in every way. Miss Lo
retta Bums as Joan, the heroine,
and Jas. Bums as King Charles,
the hero, were exceptionally
good. Miss Mollie Gibbons as
Queen Isabella, Miss Pearl Brown
as Lady Agnes, Miss Lillie
Hughs as Lady Clare, Robert
Wehrli as Earl Dunois and Gerald
Burns as the Duke of Burgundy
played their parts in a way that
was satisfactory to everyone.
Patrick Murtha in the role of
Thibaut made a decided hit and
in fact everyone from the star to
the smallest page played their
parts in a way that showed hard
work and careful drilling, The
proceeds, after all expenses had
been paid, amounted to $112.00
which goes to the school Bishop
O'Reilly delivered a short address
and thanked the audience in be
half of the school for the interest
taken as was shown by the large
attendance.
