from where the bundle was found they
encountered woman who WAS sitting

she concealed her features and ran into

ministered defeat to the home nine
last Sunday after heart-disease fin
ish. Vollendorf and La Fleur were
in the points for the locals and Jen-
.;ngs and Zimmer for the visitors.
Both pitchers were effective, each al
lowing only five safe drives, but their
support was very ragged, and Mani
towoc's errors came with mep on bases
and cost runs. A base given to G..
Phillips in the first followed by Tim
mer's home run accounted for two of
Kaukauna's runs; single in the
fourth followed by a wide throw put
two men on bases and Gehr's two bag
ger scored one. While w. Torrison's
failure to stop Frambacb's grounder
let in two more; and their last and
winning run was the result of John
sons inability to do anything with
two flies in his territory Manitowoc
could do nothing with Jennings for
three innings. La Fleur opened up
the fourth with a two Dagger reached
the third quarter post through pass
ed ball and scored on Gehr's error. A.
Torrison worked in a single in the
sixth, but was doubled up at second
by RunkePs grounder. g. Vollen-
dorf hit for double in the next in
ming but was left when Johnson flied
out. In the eighth Rosenfelder reach
ed the first corner by virtue of Dietz-
lers error, La Fleur came to the front
with line drive good for three sacks.
A. Torrison got the heneft of field
er's choice. Runkel went out on a pop

ore and made two bases on the hit.
T. Torrison ended the trouble by
long fly to q. Phillips. The net re-
suit was three runs With the bases

Fleur and forced in a run, but A. Tor

doubled at second and the game was
over. The game was featureles5,

necessary He allowed only two more
safe ones than Rupkel, but with men

locals Strengthened out his kinks, with
great neatness and despatch. Runkel
helped to win his own game with two

Atlanta. Ga, Dec. i. Joseph f.. Blan-
ther, alins Arthur d. Forbes, who was
proprietor Of the Southern Purchasing
Agency in Atlantis, and vino recently com
mitted suicide in county jail in Texas,
WAS i'll Atlanta on the day when the
murders of Blanche Lamont and Minnie
Williams occurred in San Francisco
This statement is made by pc, sons in
Atlanta who knew Forbes well, and had
business dealings with him. To support
their belief the books and records which
were in Forbes Office here have been con-
suited, and it is shown that between
April 1, and April Id, 1895, the time of
the murders in San Francisco. he was
here and doing business with Kelly Bros.
& Co. and other firms.
If these statements be true, and there
appears TO be no reason to donbt the
proofs submitted. Blanthcr could not ha We
been the murderer of the young girls, and
the declaration made in a written confcs-
sion that he killed them is false.
Mrs. Blanther, widow of the suicide,
has been eXerting every effort to shcw
that her husband was the real murderer
and that Theodore Durrant. now under
sentence of death for the crimes, is inno-
cent Her whole course of action is
based upon the written confession which
was found upon Blanther when he killed
himself in Texas.
