BOSS BILLIARDS.
scHAErER AND sLossox MATCH.
A Game Of Three Thousand Points
I'm Progress-Jaeob In the Lead
Fine Play Displayed
Big Averages.

New York, Oct. 23.-The billiard
match between George Slosson, of New
York, and Jacob Schaefer, Of Chicago,
for stake of $4,000, was commenced
tonight in the Madison square garden.
Some 1000 persons were present. The
game consists of 5000 points, 1000
to be played each evening, the game to
be resumed from the position in which
the balls were left by the player in
hand. Slosson won the lead and scored
8, and was followed by Schaffer, who
made the same number. Both men
seemed nervous and cautious. On the
sixth inning, Shaefer, by few skillful
shots, gathered the balls under the rails
and moved them quickly around. He
was loudly cheered as he turned his
first and second hundred and finished
the run with 221 points. In the next
inning he added So more. In the ninth
inning Slosson by some brilliant play
ing added 115 points to his score, and
this seems to encourage him, for in the
next inning he again gathered the balls
and added 211 more to his score. The
score at the end of the 10th inning
stood: Slosson, 354; Schaefer, $50.
Schaefer added 294 to his score, making
his total 624 to Slosson's 497. Slosson
went to work with will, and by some
brilliant draws, round the table and
masse shots. gathered the balls under
the lower rail and started on long
run. He managed the ivories deftly,
and was frequently applauded. The
balls froze on his 294th shot and were
spotted, but he counted. and added
brilliant run of 365 to his score. The
game then stood: Slosson, 1862; Schae-
fer, 624. Schaefer wore determined
look as he approached the table, and
quickly took advantage of the opening
left him by his opponent. He scored
rapidly, and soon the marker called out
100, 200, 25O and 300, and each an
nouncement was greeted with cheers.
He ran out the first 900 points of the
game with 376 points, leaving Slosson
at 1862. The winners average was 81,
10. 10.

ALL FOR LOVE.
A Soldier Deserts 10 Marry His Cap
tafn's sister.

On the Chicago, Rock Island and
Pacific train from the east last evening
was sergeant and two privates Of the
9th United States infantry, who had
charge of a prisoner; and with them
was an elderly and rather fine-looking
man, a Mr.. Samuel Rice, who was the
prisoners father. The soldiers were
non-committal as to the offense the
prisoner had committed, but the father,
who stepped to the platform of the car,
told passenger the story of his sons
crime. He said that his son, who is "a
years of age, went into the army two
years ago, against the protest of parents
and friends and was made second SER
geant of his company in q few months.
About year ago the company was
sent to Fort Sarpy, Montana, and the
captains wife came on there, accom-
panied by her sister, young lady of Is
years. 1t appears that the young SERGE
ant, Rice, who is really noble-looking
fellow, and this sister became acquaint-
ed somehow, and fell in love with each
other. How they managed to meet
each other and reach such an intimate
acquaintance, circumstanced as they
were, Mr.. Rice didn't know, but they
did more by writing than in any other
way. They kept up secret correspon-
dence for weeks before they were de-
tected; but at last the captains wife
discovered what was up, and. in less
than one week after Mrs. Capt. King
and her sister were on their way to
Cheyenne, from which place the sister
was sent to her home near Northamp-
ton, Mass. That was last fall; last May
the command was moved to fort near
Helena, and there young Rice deserted,
made his way to Northampton, and
married his captains sister-in-law,
with whom he fell in love at Fort Sarpy.
The couple were married some time be-
fore the young woman's friends
knew anything about it-and 1t
wouldn't have been found out when II
was but for letter from the captain
telling Of young Rice's deseftion, ex-
pressing fears that he had left for Mass
achusetts to see the girl. who was
infatuated with him, and describing
the lover. Young Rice had obtained
employment in the vicinity. His wife
was watched, and she was seen with
him, and the description caused his
arrest as deserter. Then she told her
father that tthearrested man was her hus-
band, and there was CONSERVATION and
great grief in the family. The father
of the wife did all he could to hasten
the taking of Rice to the west-and ht
was first taken to Fort La Fayette, and
then started for the west with the serge
ant and the two soldiers. Mr.. Rice
said he believed the proceeding wa'
vary unusual-and the officers on the
island to-day say it is, too. Mr.. Rice
said that his sons young wife was al
most frantic at first but when he lef'
she was calm as anybody. The old man
believed she would be on her way wes'
before long. Mr.. Rice said ina
his son might be severely dealt with
but there were influences at wori
which he thought would secure tn

Governor Pitlln Tells Some Plain
Truths-He Wants Safisfaction
Secretary schurx. Reply
In Full.

washington, OCT. ~. .--Secy. Schur2
to-day received the following telegram
from the governor of Colorado:
Denver, Oct 22.-Information from
southwestern Colorado satisfies me that
the most of Ouray's warriors were in
the Thornburgh fight. To surrender
the criminals Ouray must surrender
his tribe, which he is powerless to do,
rs they adhere to him for protection
only, and will not submit to punish
ment. Neither will they surrender the
White River Utes, who are bound to
them by tine strongest ties, and are no
more guilty than themselves. They
whipped Thornburgh's command, and
now Merritt retires. 1t cannot be dis
guised that the fighting men of the
tribes are hostile and flushed with vic
tory; that they are savages, and take
no prisoners except women; their tro-
phies are not banners, but scalps.
If the policy of military inactivity
continues our frontier settlements are
likely to become scenes of massacre.
Unless the troops move against the In
dians the Indians will move against the
settlers. Must 800 miles Of border set
Element be subjected to this peril? The
general government is doing nothing to
defend our settlements. The state can
pot defend all this border except by at
tacking the enemy. In behalf Of our
people / represent this danger to you,
and urge that the government recog-
Hize that war with barbarians now
exists, which involves the lives of nu-
merous people exposed in mining settle
ments. 1t can be terminated only by
the most vigorous and uninterrupted
warfare. F. W. PITKIN, Governor.
To this message the secretary has
telegraphed the following reply:
Your dispatch received. entrusted
with the important duty of special
agent to the Utes, Gen. Charles Adams,
a citizen of Colorado, who month ago
was represented to me by yourself as
gentleman of excellent character, un-
common ability and energy, intimately
acquainted with the Utes and eminent
ly qualified to deal with them in any
emergency. He is with them now, and
his last report was: ''That none OF the
southern, and only a part of the White
River Utes have been engaged in the
trouble, and that all the rumors Of dep
relations off the reservation are un-
true, except the driving off Of some
horses from Bear river, and this was
done before the order to Ouray to
cease fighting was received" Gen.
Adams reports this after having tray-
ersed the southwestern part of Colora-
do, the source Of your information.
He also states: "The captive women
and children, who l have assurances
are safe, will be delivered up. Troops
should not proceed south from White
river, as I believe that your conditions
to secure peace will be complied with"

to dissuade him from his bloody

Of our country is getting to be fearfully
alarming. the average Of life being less
ened every year, without any reason

from the most Insignificant origin. At
this season of the year. especially, a
cold is such common thing that in the
hurry of everyday life we are aps to
overlook the dangers attending it, and
often find too late that fever or lang
trouble has already set in. Thousands
lose their lives in this way every win
ter, while had BescHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
been taken, cure would have resulted
and large bill from doctor been
avoided. For all diseases of the throat
and lungs, BosCHEE's GERMAN SYRUP
has proven itself to be the greatest dis
covery of its kind in medicine. Every
druggist in this country. will tell you
of its wonderful effect. Over $50, 900
bottles sold last year without a single
failure known.
