Special Dispatch to the Ledger.
UNION, NO., Feb. 16.-Millionaire
murderer Arthur Duestrow, of st.
Louis, expiated the awful slaughter of
his wife and child on the gallows at
this place at / O'Clock this afternoon.
This morning Duestrow broke down
and begged for mercy and wrote a
t~elegraphic message to Gov. johnson,
asking him to plead with Gov. steph-
ems to spare his life. A scene was
expected on the scaffold, but despite
the fact that he had practically broken
down early this morning, he mounted
the gallows bravely and with a firm
tread, and maintained remarkable
composure throughout the ordeal of
death. Before the black cap shut out
his pallid features forever he babe his
friends and those present good-by
and made a rather lengthy statement.
Among many other things, he said
that a great mistake was being made;
that his name was Brandenburg and
that he did not kill his wife and child.
There are those who witnessed the
execution who say an insane man was
hanged.
The millionaire criminals neck was
not broken, but he was strangled to
death, and thus came to a close the
most famous case in the criminal an
mails of Missouri.

Taking the entire meet into con.
sideratiOn, the Lewistown boys did
well and deserve great credit, foI
their opponents had previously
beaten Sand COulee, Great Falls,
Highwood and other local mines
and expected to find easy game in
Lewistown.
But above all, the Lewistown bat
terry, Lumsden and Shugart, deserve
credit for refusing to be bribed, as it il
said an attempt vas made to have
them throw the game. 1t seems
strange that Lewistown citizens
would be 80 lacking in local pride,
to say nothing of honesty, as to
want the home nine beaten and that
by foul means.
Financially, Manager Wright re-
ports that sufficient was made from
the gate receipts. profits of the dance,
and the score cards to cover the ex.
penses of bringing the Belt team
to town, beside leaving a small
balance, which will be applied to the
general expenses Of the club, which
have already run rather high.
The Belt team left Monday noon
for home, all carrying pleasant rec
elections and several expressing
the hope that they may locate here

The bolt was so severe that horses

he may consider himself fortunate

The Local Nine Takes Two Games Out o
Three From the Belt Boys.

The Belt ball team arrived
promptly on time. reaching Lewis
town i'm good spirits Thursday morn
ing. The team included: Jas.
COwan, Andy Cowan, j. Nohl,
Henry Buser, Tom Cowan, Hewey
Lafferty. Ed Martin, Henry Johnson,
j. Gillen and j. Forsythe, ten men.
At the last moment the regular bat
terry found il impossible to come and
and therefore this is said to let the
boys down easy) they were not as
strong as they expected to be when
the games were arranged.
Thursday afternoon the Belts
practiced for a short time and the
first game was called Friday after
noon at the fair grounds, a reason
ably good crowd being in attend
ance.
As previously announced the Lew
istown captain selected those whom
he considered the strongest to play
and the lineup was different each
day. During the first game Gillen of
the Belts was injured and Lafferty
substituted. The Belt boys found it
very hard to hit the LewistOwn
pitcher, Lumsden. and twelve men
famed out, against seven OF the
home boys. The home nine played a
strong game, while their opponents
appeared weak, a total of twenty-six
errors being charged by the scorer
against the visitors, though In the
tabulated record below, errors, put
outs and assists are not set down
against the Belts owing to the I'M
familiarity of the scorer with the
players and the frequent changes of
position. II. A. Hanke acted as um-
pire and with the exception of one
instance, gave good satisfaction, this
exception causing al argument
which for a time threatened to break
up the game, and % one inning,
Nohl, the Belt catcher, refused to
play. The rules, appeared however,
to justify the decision, though it was
very sharp practice on the part Of
Gibbons and Lumsden of the home
nine. The Belts learned before they
left town that they could not teach
Gibbons anything about playing
rules, nor anything about playing,
for that matter. He was a star
from first to last.
This IL how we beat them the first
day:
