YALE DEFEATS HARVARD.
Wins the Annual Boat Race at New
London, Conn.,, After the Hard
est Struggle on Record.

New London, Conn, June 2S.-Yale
won the varsity race with Harvard by
less than length in the last 100 yards
of the four-mile struggle. 1t was one
of the most beautiful contests between
the crews of two universities ever seen
on the river. From the sound OF the
referees pistol until the finish it was
anybody's race. Harvard got the best
of the start and was slightly ahead in
the first mile. Then Yale pulled to
the front. Harvard spurted and the
boats were even. Then the crimson
shell was bit ahead, and at the three
mile mark it seemed as if Harvard
would be victorious, but the awful pace
was telling on the Cambridge boat.
Yale came up alongside again and
down the long line between rows OF
yachts that fianked the line it was an
absolutely even thing. In the last
quarter of a mile Yale hit upthe stroke
again and hundred yards from the
finish the nose of the New Haven shell
was polSed perez ptibly to the front.
Harvard was unable to respond again
to the frantic call of her coNsWain, and
the blue was a winner. The official
time: Yale. 1897, Harvard, 23:45.

DEATH HIS BRIDE.
Young Man in Clarindn. H., Kills
Himself at the Hour Appointed
for His Wedding.

Clarinda, Ia. June 27.-Thomas j..
Rogers, who was to marry Miss Einez
G. Plank, a highly respected young
lady of this city at six o'clock Wednes-
day evening, shot himself through the
head at that hour instead of going to
the home of the bride where the cere-
mony was to be performed. The ball
entered the skull just above the ear
and passed back through the head, but
it was nearly an hour after the shoot
ing before life was extinct. During
the day Rogers arranged for the min
lister to perform the marriage cere
mony at the home of his sweetheart's
parents, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. McKinn on.
About 20 invited guests were assem-
bled at six o'clock, the hour for the
wedding, ana at about 6:20 word was
brought that the groom had suicided.
Mr.. Rogers was a young man ~ years
of age, who three years ago inherited
$4,000 from his father. During this
time the young man had spent all of
this amount but SIS, and was perhaps
discouraged. However, he has never
shown signs of being depressed.

AS result of bitter neighborhood
feud C. d. Guild and his 19-year-old

gun. The man who did the fatal
shooting is believed to be Oliver
Bricker, one of family of neighbors
to the Guilds. The shooting was

ernoon. Bricker's story is that he
met Guild and son. Guild pulled
revolver and began firing. Bricker
was hit three times, on the lip,
on the forehead and on the arm.
All his wounds are slight. The
last shot, Bricker claims, was fired
by the boy, Bricker having knocked
revolver from Guilds hand. When
Broker got through the fence he says
that his brother George met him and
handed him shotgun. He fired one
barrel at the boy, who held the re-
volver. The boy fell, and as the ia
Their sprang to pick up the revolver
Bricker shot and killed him. Both
Brickers were arrested. Oliver Brick
err was placed under $4,000 bonds and

Some time ago the farmers of Mani

time the emigration has greatly in
