CHICAGO, Oct 30. The Chicago Base

in signing three of last seasons players
Ryan, Hutchison and Kittridge, and it is
still a question whether these three

dent Hart would aiiix his name to next
years roster.
Schriver was cut from 50, 400 TO 5 600,
and without much of a murmur.
The same propOrtionate cut was sug-
gested TO Ryan, but the star center fielder
could not reconcile himself to the divorce
ment OF cool thousand from his salary.
Hutchison will in all likelihood be
asked to stand q slight cut. IL is rumor-

FIGHT FOR A WIDOW.



stock Raisers.
GOLD HILL, Idaho, Oct 29.-George
Barker and Henry Paxton fought a duel
with knives fifteen miles from here
Both will die and Maggie Brandt, over
whom the men quarrelled, will be dis,
figured for life.
Both men are well-to-do stock raisers
and Mrs. Brandt, who is urepossessing
widow, was employed as a housekeeper
5y man named Meserve.
She betrothed herself to both her lovers
and for nearly two months neither of
them suspected that anything was
wrong.
Last Saturday the two men met at Me-
serves house Both drew large knives.
They were in a room about fifteen feet
square.
As the half-crazed men cIrcled about
the room they upset and broke articles of
furniture and at every blow blood flew.
Mrs, Brandt stood just outside the door
and witnessed the affray.
She did not call upon anyone to inter
fere, and it is said she enjoyed the san
culinary scene.
After fully ten minutes of desperate
lighting Barker fell from terrible
wound in his throat. Paxton was also
badly hurt. A blow from Barler's knife
nearly scalped MIN.
Mrs. Brandt rushed in and attempted
to embrace him, when he cut her nose oil
ana put out her eye with a slash.

THE MINISTER AN Ex-ooNWoT.
How a shrewd Individual Imposed ON the
Swiss Gnvernment.

BERyE, Oct. 30 The Swiss government
has cancelled the mission OF the new
Minister from the Republic OF Salvador.
in Central America This action has
been taken in view OF an astounding dis
covery to the effect that the Minister is
an eXconvict, who had been in prison in
Paris, and whose measurement, from the
thumb to toe nail, is now in the posses
sion Of the Partisan police.
This ex- convict diplomat is Sicilian
adventurer who, finding the field for
brigandage in that island not sufficiently
profitable, or perhaps too dangerous,
changed the scene of his operations to
the French capital, and there came 20
grief
The description of him taken by the
French police before he had his head
shaved preparatory to course of prison
diet and compulsory exercise. leaves no
doubt as to identity, and the Swiss gov
ernment is satisfied that the man is a
fraud and a swindler.

Att 0AAho ~ htAlu west SNOW
ANsoN1A, Ct, May 25.-When "Pawnee
Bill's' Wild West show came to this town
last week one of the features exhibited was
a lynching scene. So realistically were the
consecutive steps of the art of lynching
presented that even the children who at
tended the exhibition felt that they knew
all about it.
For days the feats of the rustlers, with
the concluding lynch scene of their leader,
formed the chief topic of conversation
among the boys of the neighbOring villages,
and the frequent rehearsal of the scene so
worked on the minds of the boys in Shell
ton that they determined to give an actual
imitation for the benefit of the few boys
who had not been fertune5e enough to at
tend the show.
Accordingly, about half dozen of them
set out and i've remained on guard while
the other sneaked into his mothers house
and stole her olothes-line. They returned
with the line, and then set forth on an ex-
peditiOn against the rustlers, They found
one who had volunteered to be caught red
handed-Eddie Gould, 9 years old. They
conducted him to the viaduct over the
New Haven railroad tracks, made a slip
moose on the end Of the rope, put it around
his body under the arms and swung
him off.
up TO InlS stage OF Gne proceedings the
scene had borne a striking resemblance to
that portrayed by the "Pawnee Billp Wild
West show, but slight accident to the
rope caused the lynchers to look at the
face Of their victim, who, at the same in
slant, gave a gasp and a groan. To their
horror they found that the rope had slipped
up and caught the boy under the chin.
They summoned aid, pulled him up and
freed his neck from the rope. Physicians
we're hastily summoned and succeeded in
restoring him after a long struggle.

AN OLYmPIAN ARRESTED.
HOgin, the Lawyer, In Durance
Vile in Seattle.

HOgtns the Lawyer, In Durance
Vile tn Seattle.
SEATTLE, May 25.-S. R. Hogin, lawyer
who, up to two years ago, lived in Seattle,
and is now resident of Olympia, was
arrested last night at 12 O'Clock by
Officer W. T. Laubscher, but as yet no
charge has been made against him. He is
suspected of committing a criminal assault
upon 1l-year-old May Post, his half sisters
daughter. The little girl has been attend
ing the Sisters school at the corner of
Tenth and Jackson streets.
Several days ago HOgin came to town
from Olympia and on Monday called at
the school. He inquired for the little girl,
saying that Mrs. Post, who is a dressmaker
at Olympia, had detailed him, her half
brother, to bring the child home. The girl
was turned over to him, and instead of
taking her home he rented a room in the
Wasco lodging house on Commercial street.
The landlady was suspicious that all
was not right and when last night Hogin
entered the room where the girl was She
waited a time and went to the door and
knocked. Hogin, who had retired, got up
and opened the door little and inquired
what was wanted. The landlady promptly
ordered him out. The lawyer dressed
himself and was taken in charge by two
dodgers, and the landlady went out and
hailed Officer W. 7. Laubscher, who took
Hogin to police headquarters and locked
him up. HOgin denies all charges of i'm
proper relations with the girl, but remarked
to Captain HOgle:
"She is we'll developed, and in the course
Of two or three years 1 intend to marry
herr
The little girls story is a very pitiful one,
and paints Hogin as guilty of an atrocious
crime. She was taken back to the Sisters
school
