DIED TO ESCAPE JAIL.
Almond Hutchinson, a Weak-Mind-
Minded Youth, Ends His Life
in a Dramatic Manner.

I Appleton, Wis, Oct. 16.-[Special.]-
Almond Hutchinson, aged 20 years, COM
mitted suicide last night rather than sub

Hutchinson rented a bicycle Wednesday
from a dealer in Menasha and rode to
Oshkosh, where he disposed of the
wheel, hired another one from a dealer
there and returned to Appleton, where
he disposed of the second wheel.
A MenaSha officer, accompanied by
Appleton officers, went to Hutchinson's
house last night at II o'clock to arrest
him, but they were denied admittance.
While they were trying to force an en-
trance in front, Hutchinson, partially
dressed, tried to escape by rear door, but,
finding it guarded, returned to the front
room and shot himself in the left tenn
pie just as the officers forced the door.
The bullet lodged in his brain and he
fell unconscious, dying in twenty min
utes.
Hutchinson had long been known as
an incorrigible boy and had served a
term in the reform school. He was not
bright mentally, and numerous minor
eScapades had been passed over lightly
on that account. For some months past
he had driven delivery wagon for a

COLLEGE CONTESTS ENDED.
Lawrence Students Will Not Have
Anything More to Do with
RipOn Men.

Appleton, Wis, Oct. ID Especial !
The announcement by President Plantz
OF Lawrence university, that no further
football games between the Lawrence
ana hlpOn teams will be permitted IN
tn the RiDon authorities shall remove
from their team the players guilty of the
shameful smuggling of Lawrence men i'll
the game of last Saturday, caused little
surprise here. 1t has long been known
that majority of the faculty and =
large element among the students have
long been in favor of disseminating en-
tlrely all contests Of any kind WhatsO-
ever between Ripon and Lawrence, be-
cause Of the persistently unfair tactics
or Rlp0n, the most recent and glaring
instances Of which are the oratOrical con-
test middle precipitated by Rip0n last
year and the smuggling of Lawrence play
ers i'll last Saturdays football game,
when Dafter had his nose broken and his
thumb badly bitten, Jolliffe was COM
pletely disabled by a kick, and every
member of the Lawrence team received
black eye or some other mark of pain
full injury. The prohibition of further
games is not q faculty action, but per-
sOnai on the part of President Plantz.
1t is cordially endorsed. however, by
nearly every student i'll the school, and is
regarded by many as Q step which will
result in eventually breaking off all rela-
tons Of whatsoever kind between the
two schools. President Plantz is under
stood to feel that the feeling engendered
between the schools by recent events
is such IS to render it advisable that
intercollegiate contests Of all kinds be
discontinued for a time at least, and
this view is very prevalent throughout
the city as we'll as in college circles.

Diphtheria is spreading ia the city de-
spite the efforts of the authorities to
stop it. Health Officer Block has issued
instructions that no more information
as to the number of cases be given to the
press, and it is therefore hard to get at
the number of cases. Yesterday at least
six new ones were reported and the day
before there We're nine. Another death
resulted yesterday, directly traceable to
the carelessness in the Hartmann case.
The jury which investigated the Haar

reetIy connected with the case "have
been criminally negligent in willfuEEy and
knowingly subjecting themselves and
others to the danger of contracting diph
liberia in violation of section 1903 of the
