Simon Schullman of Denver, who is under
three indictments on charges of having
been in the business of blowing up and

STANFORD IS REJOICING.
Highly Elated Over the Outcome
of Their Ball Game With
Berkeley.
Prospects of the Cardinal Colors in

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, April
%. = Stanford enthusiasts were greatly
elated over the results of the first base bali
game. Never before had Stanford nine
LETT for game with Berkeley leaving be-
hind it more uncertain feeling regarding
the outcome than did the team at it's de-
parture yesterday from the campus.
Pitcher McLaine, on whom 1t was felt the
responsibility of victory or defeat most
heavily rested, was still suffering from
sickness that had confined him to his bed
for several days preceding. Taylor. the
shortstop, was also sick man, practically
getting off sick bed to play this first
game.
Berkeley had another advantage in
being on her own grounds, with a large
majority of the spectators in sympathy
with her players. Stanford further recog-
nized that Berkeley had far stronger
aggregation this season than she ever had
before.
There was great rejoicing. therefore,
when the score was sent in and another
Stanford victory was chronicled. If moth
ing goes wrong Stanford should make
still better showing in the next match,
which takes place here on Saturday, May 2.
path took place last evening, notwith-
standing the bad weather. Dole's heel is
worrying the Stanford men considerably,
and it will be very serious matter for the
cardinal prospects if his stone pruise does
not disappear before Saturday. Much was
expected of him in the jumps and pole
vaults, bnt his usefulness will be greatly
lessened by his recent misfortune.
Tocmbs did 220 yards in fast time last
evening, and will give his Berkeley op.
ponent a hard fight for first in that event.
Jack '99 and Wilkinson are both doing
good work in the mile walk.
Captain Toombs says that If Berkeley
were no stronger than she was last season
Stanford's chances would be good for a
victory but Berkeley has improved since
that time, and while he looks for close
contest he has scant hopes of winning and
believes that should Stanford come within
eight or ten points of victory she should
not BIZ at all disappointed. 1t is well

LAWYER HOWE'S CASE,
Efforts to Quash the Indictment
for Participating in Holmes
Conspiracy.
Will Probably Escape Prosecution for
His Connection With an Insur.
ance Swindle.

PHILADELPHIA, Pa, April 23.-Jeph-
tha Howe, the ST. Louis lawyer, who, with
Fl. 81. Holmes, was indicted for conspiracy
at the time of the discovery of the fraud
against the Fidelity Mutual Life Associa-
ton, is in town for the purpose of having
the indictment abandoned by the authori-
ties. Howe arrived in Philadelphia almost
multaneously with Mrs. Pietzel, for the
murder of whose husband Holmes is to
hang on May 7.
Mrs. Pietzel came to this city in answer
to summons from her attorney. Howe
is the lawyer who was said to represent
Mrs. Pietzel at the time the $4,000 on
PletzeFs life was collected. Since the con-
vlction of Holmes there has been some
speculation as to what disposition would
be made of the Howe case. The lawyer
has been under $1,000 bail. It is known
that he came here for the express purpose
OF having the case against him dropped.
1t is probable that his counsel will go into
court in day or two and ask to have the
case nolle-prossed.
1t is said that District Attorney Graham
is willing to compromise the case. II. H.
Holmes and Marion Hedgpeth are the two
principal witnesses in the case. AS one is
to be hanged next month and the other is
serving twenty-five years. sentence for
train-robbery neither would make a good
witness.
Mrs. Pietzel came here in response to q
letter written by her attorney, Thomas A.
Fahy, who desires her presence in this city
during his efforts to have the proper resti-
tuition made to his client.
II wrote to Mrs. Pietzel," said Mr.. Fahy,
ito come to Philadelphia. One OF the
objects of having her in this city is to aid
IN endeavoring to secure from Holmes as
much of the money that he took from Mrs.
Pletzel on the bogus promissory note as
we can get. Another reason was to re-
cover from Lawyer Howe the money that
he secured from her. Mrs. Pietzel will
remain in this city for number of days.
during which we expect to have the matter
settled"
Coroner Hiram Castor of Indianapolis,
who was sent for, will start tor this city on
Saturday and will visit Holmes attorney
on Monday. What his trip means or
what connection it has with the case can
not be learned.

that he has secured United States patent
to GAO acres of land lying just in the sub

the title once, giving G age the title, but a
succeeding Commissioner reversed the de-

pre-empted the land under the desert land
act. but before he could place water upon
the tract the time for so doing expired,

cided in Cages favor, and now the contest
is ended. The land is worth at least $3.50
