Fire Water Sockalexis Promises to

Cleveland, Nov. 2.-Cleveland has a
new kind of gold brick in SOckalexis,
the PenObscot Indian. Tebeau still be-
ISeves that the red man is one of the
leagues best players, and is 10th to re-
lease him. But he is utterly unman-
ageable, and for the last two months of
the season rendered no service to the
team. The Indian is a bright, intel
Iectual fellow, and the Cleveland Off
Gals believe that he will see the error
of his ways and turn over a new leaf
by next season.
When Tebeau's troupe disbanded,
Sockalexis sought out President Robin
son and made a clean breast of his po-
Sition. He was penitent and pennileSs,
and the generous magnate allowed him
to draw his salary for the term of his
suspension upon a promise to be in con-
ditiOn by the spring. Attend to your
work, Sock said Robinson, land you

TRAGEDY OF THE ISLE.
Fortunately Mrs Vaughan Escaped
From the Island in Time

There was trouble between the monarch
who reigned over Vaughan's island and
his spouse and late yesterday afternoon
Judge Hazen divorced the couple.
Vaughan's island lies in the Kansas
river just north of Tecumseh. 1t has
been in the Vaughan family for some time
and is used for a truck farm, but little
is raised upon it except watermelons.
Joel Vaughan raised watermelons all sum-
mer and his wife testified that at odd
times he quarreled with her and occa-
sionalIy came home intoxicated.
I'VE were on the island" said she in her
testimony before Judge Hazen, and he
thought I could not get away, so he treat
ed me worse than he ever had. Before
we moved to the island we used to have
a little trouble occasionally, but it never
amounted to much. The last time he
swore at me and said all manner of things
to me. He also took down the razor
and ran his finger over the edge, and
said he would kill me and the children
and then kill himself. After that I left
and went to my fathers home with the
children"
Mrs Vaughan, who held a 3-months-old
babe in her arms, cried while she was tell
ing her story. Mr.. Vaughan was in the
court room when the case was called, but
when his wife took the stand he left the
court room. He agreed to a division of
the property and Mrs. Vaughan was
given the custody of the three children.

ACTING ON A CUBAN TIP.
Contracts Being Made for Two Large
Merchant Steamships.

New York, Nov. At was announced
in Wall street today that representa-
tiveS of the New York and Cuban Mail
Steamship company are in Washington
for the purpose of signing contracts
with agents of both the Roach and
CrElmp shipyards for the construction
OF two of the largest steamships ever
built for the coaStWise trade. This
statement is made upon the authority
OF one of the largest stockholders in
the company.
The new Ships are to be fitted out as
auxiliary cruisers, to be used by the
government in case of war, when they
will carry full armament.
1t was said that the steamship COM
pany is building the steamers in an
ticipatiOn of an early close of the war
in Cuba, and with the expectation that
the commercial relations between Cuba
and the United States will be much
closer in the near future than they
have ever been in the past. In Wall
street this policy of the company is be-
leved to be caused by an intimate
knowledge of the administrations
plans regarding the Cuban question.

Homeless Lads.

Denver, Nov. 2.-Architect ]. Bevan
Phillips has finished plans for a build
ing costing $4,000 for the Brightside
school, to be built on their farm ten
miles northwest of Denver. This will
be a frame. and Ralph Field, the super

quickly as possible in time to have his
boys under its shelter before winter
sets in for good, as they are very much
cramped in their present quarters.
Mr.. Phillips also has completed the
plans for a hotel to cost about $4,000
for Charles w. Caryl, to be erected by
the members of the New Era Union
of which he is the founder. The

cooperation. The building will be

OTTAWA TOO STRONG.
Defeated the Washburu Eleven by a
Score of 10 to 4

Ottawa university foot ball team re-
turned home today with the scalp of
Washburn's team hanging from their
belt. Score, 10 to f.
Because they carried off the honors
of the day is no sign that Washburn
was not in the game. Washburn play
ed a good game and fought every point
of vantage with a stubbornness and
pluck that was remarkable.
Ottawa was slightly the heaviest,
and although slow in starting the play,
seemed to hold the balance of power
Ottawa sent her heavy backs and
guards through Washburn's line for
repeated gains. At other times Wash
burns line was like so many pillars Of
stone, and Ottawa would lose instead of
gain. Part of the time Washburn's line
would hold the Ottawa team while
the wearers of the blue would make
good gains around the end. At other
times Washburn's line was easily bat
tered down before the opposing team
and her backs would be brought to the
ground before they had fairly started.

damages, alleging that she fell on the
sidewalk and injured one of her limbs
above and below the knee. She dressed
the injured member herself.S She is Miss
Marie Prevoncha, a professional nurse.
When she was placed upon the stand
yesterday the counsel for the city rails
ed a point as to the character of the in
Jury and insisted that in order that the
Jury could better judge of the facts
Miss Prevoncha should exhibit her in
jured limb to the jury.
Never" she fairly Missed, as she
pointed her finger at the city prosecu-
tor The demand is monstrous.
The prosecutor insisted and quoted
authorities, and there was a long argu-
ment. The judge finally decided that it
would be indelicate to enforce the de-
rnand, and the case went to the jury,
which returned a verdict for the city.
