D
u
Funeral Occurred This Morning at 11
O'Clock, Conducted by Presiding
Elder V. A. Godbey-—X Large At-
tendance and Many Flower*.
One of the saddest deaths that has
oceffrred in Orange for a long time
w*^ that of little Hobby Stark, the 8-
year-old son of hrr and Mrs. A. M.
H. Stark, which occurred yesterday
afteronon about 4:30 o’clock, the little
fellow meeting his death by drowning
in a cistern.
Little Hobby had helped his mother
with her housework after dinner, she
having suffered all day with a nervous
headache, and after cleaning up in the
dining room he came to his mother
and told her he was going out to play,
and she laid down to rest.
After awhile, becoming uneasy with
his prolonged absence, she looked
around the place for him and not nd-
ing him, telephoned to several neigh-
bors, thinking perhaps he had gone
there to play. But he had been at
none of these houses.
Neighbors were called In and all
Joined in the search for the little
felta^-Hls little sister finally told
her^Bfcyher that she had seen Hobby
playinjf on the cistern house. Then
the terrible suspicion arose that per-
haps he was in the cistern.
His father and uncle were summon-
ed and upon investigation found that
the little fellow had. Indeed, met his
death in this tragic manner, his body-
being found In the bottom of the cis-
tern.
It seems that he had climbed up the

and at the top had lost hiR footing and
faUeAlnto the cistern, from all ap-
ptmrafcci-s meeting death Instantly.
Mr. V. H. Stark, uncle of the little
boy, dropped down Into the cistern
and brought the body to the top and
he says the water was so cold that
it took his breath away and he thinks
that the little boy must have lost his
breath immediately upon striking the
cold water and went right to the bot-
tom.
Physicians were immcd'utelv sum-
moned, but could do nothing to resus-
citate the little fellow, as life had
been extinct too long.
Friends gathered at the home and
did all that human hands could do to
assuage the sorrow of the grief strick-
en parents, whose home had been so
suddenly blighted.
Little Hobby was the only son of
Mr. and Mrs. A. M. H. Stark, being
eight years old on the 12th of this
month. He was a bright little fellow,
the first born, and the sunshine of the
home, which now seems desolate
without his presence.
The funeral occu red this morning
at 11 o'clock, the remains being laid
to rest under the soughing pines In
Albert Bischoff, aged about seventy-
five years, crossed the bar this morn-
ing, death coming at 10 o’clock, after
a several days illness.
Deceased was an old time citizen
of Orange, having made this city his

thirty years. He leaves two sons and

lK». Call and
Tuesday's game between the Lake
Charles Creoles and the Monroe Muni-
cipals, iu Monroe, was wop up to the
seventh inning by the score of 4 to 0,
when Pitcher Haley was pulled from
the box and arrested by u Monroe
officer and a new pitcher had to be
substituted without the "Innocent
Municipals" allowing him a chance to
w-arm up, with the result that the
"Inno's" piled up six runs and the
Creoles tied the Bcore in the ninth,
making two runs.
The following from the Lake Char-
les, La., Press of yesterday, If true,
bears out the statement made by Or-
ange players that Orange received a
deal of ungentlemanly and unsports-
manlike character during its recent
visit to Monroe.
Tuesday's Lake Chanea-Monroe Game.
At Monroe— Lake Charles 6, Mon-
roe 6.
Reports of the game between Lake
Charles and M(Inroe at the latyer
place were received here by telephone
today and state that the contest was
declared a tie at the end of the ninth
inning by a score of 6 to 6. The re-
port also says that the decisions of
Umpire McDonald were of a decided
"raw” nature and that he practically
robbed the Creoles of the game.
Pitcher Haley, who starteu L* to do
the delivery work for fCe Creoles was
doing magnificent work and up to the
seventh inning had allowed the Muni-
cipals but one hit and they had not
scored a single run. In the seventh
inning, however, -Umpire McDonald
mude a raw decision and Haley ex-
postulated in language that was
perhaps not strictly suitable for
a drawing room. His Umps
promptly called an officer and
Haley was placed under arrest for vio-
lating one of the ordinances of the
ultra moral city of Monroe and was
escorted to jail. Haley was released
later through the intervention of Man-
ager Collins.
Up to the seventh inning the game
was won by the Creoles by a score of
4 to 0. The Monroe bunch had not
been able to do anything with his
delivery, and It was a cinch for the
Creoles. When Haley was taken out
Finn was substituted. He had pitched
the game the day before and had not
even warmed up. The result was that
the Municipals tied the score and went
two ahead. The Creoles, however,
tied the score in the ninth, and Finn
had got down to work and was shoot- •
lng the sphere across the plate so that
the Ouachita bunch could not connect
with it. Then, although the sun was
still In sight, Hla Umps called the
game on account of darkness, leaving
it a tie game.
The action of the Monroe authorities
in placing Haley under arrest Is sub-
ject of much adverse criticism here
today, particularly In view of the fact
that a general complaint Is made as
to the treatment of vlaltlng baseball
teams In that city. It la a pretty gen-
erally known fact that Monroe was
dropped from the Cotton States
league because of the treatment ac-
corded vlaltlng teams, and It teems
the town Is following the same tac-
tics with teams In the Gulf Coast
league.
Robert McLaughlin, the fast center-
fielder of the Creoles, who returned
from Buffalo, New York, whan
he had accompanied the remains of
Plrstbaseman Danny Sullivan, stated
this afternoon that the treatment ac-
corded visiting players at Monroe was
sver experienced fa
his baseball career. He says/a po-
liceman Is stationed on the visiting
team’s bench, and that it Is a certain-

Work Well Under Way on Barge No.

Wilt Begin Monday—Fifteen Ship-
carpenters Employed at Yards.
l>abor is a scarce article at the
Clooney shipyards In this city, said
Thomas Clooney, a member of the
firm of Clooney Hits., which l:as the
contract for the construction of six
large barges for the Orange Lumber
company of Orange, two of which are
now completed.
Skilled ship carpenters are hard to
get and the work of construction on
these barges ts naturally slower than
was expected, though one barge has
been launched, the “Roy.” and the
second barge, the “Mitchell,” Is now
complete and ready for the water, and
will be launched Saturday afternoon.
There are at present fifteen ship
carpenters employed at these yards
and work la progressing rather rapid-
ly. considering the fact the yards are
short of skilled labor.
The Clooney Bros, at their ship-
yards at Lock port, I-a., near Lake
Charles, have a contract for getting
out eight large barges, three of them
In dimensions 140x34x10, they being

Opelousas, where the team Is schedul-

The Creoles will play In Opelousas

A Suitable Heeding.
During the financial dog days of a
southern college a wealthy merchant
called upon the president to say that
he had provided in his will for a rath-
er handsome bequest to the college to
be paid after the death of himself and
his wife. The president was overjoy-
ed and asked permission to announce
the gift In the city paper. Thia re-
quest was granted on condition that
the donor's name should not be men
Honed.
Accordingly the president wrote a
eulogistic notice of the donation and
hurried to the newspaper office. In
his haste he neglected to give hts Item
a title. The editor, hurried and wor-
rit'd, absently clap|ted on the flrst^
words that enrne to his mind: and the
Item appeared the next morning with
the following caption:
"Two Pair of Shoes to Walt For."
How They Begin.
That wifoy is always wise was prov-
en by a little incident that recently
occurred In one of the suburbs of this
city. A little girl wns sitting beside
her mother reading a book of fairy I
tales when she suddenly turned and i
glanced towards the maternal relative
Mamma,” she said, "1 want to ask
you a question.''
What Is It, my dear?” queried the
fond mother.
"It Is about this book.” responded
the little one. "Do All fairy tales be-
gin with 'Once upon a time'?”
"Oh. no. dear," answered the moth-
er with a sad sigh "They usually be-
gin with 'Detained at the office; can
not get home until late-.”
