RAIN SP0ILS COLLEGE GAME
and Highland Park Just
Getting Under Roadway
when stopped.

Rain stopped the Creighton-Hishland
PARK game yesterday afternoon In the nrst
9 TO 1 in favor Of the men from Des Moines.
Harry WEIGH. for Creighton, pitched eX-
cellent ball, striking out four men.
Highland Park scored three times in the
first inning on account of errors and aided
by two timely hits, but after that they
were completely at the mercy Of the locals:
The next three innings saw them go. out
consecutively, man after man. Creighton
could easily have tied the score two or
three times by the help of a little hitting,
but the game was young and the lads had
not yet been able 20 find the great and
only Ellis. In this respect Creighton
played in hard luck, as at the end Of each
of her three innings two men were left on
bases. Highland Parks fielding was of a
mediocre order. Ellis made good his rep
as a star twirler and Sunta caught a pretty
game. For Creighton WEIGH and O'Keefe
were an excellent battery and Lynch and
Kehoe the star hitters.
The Iowans are now on their western
trip, playing eleven games throughout Kan
sas and Nebraska. They meet Cotner uni
versity today and the University OF Ne

Collough, a 1S-year-old girl, william Aus
tin. a young man, early today killed the
girl and four other persons and then COM
mitted suicide in a lonely farm house OF
William Wilkinson, near Hastings. a thriv-
ing settlement eighteen miles from this
city. The dead are:
WILLIAM WILKINSON, aged 50.
MRS. WILKINSON, his wife.
MISS ABETHA MCCULLOUGH, aged Is.
MISS WILKINSON. sister OF William
Wilkinson.
ONE CHILD.
WILLIAM AUSTIN. the murderer and
suicide, aged %.
The crime was first discovered by John
Keller. who visited the Wilkinson house,
where he found six corpses scarcely cold
and but one living witness to the tragedy,
a helpless infant.
Austin had been madly infatuated with
the Mccullough girl, and It is claimed that
he killed the entire family because his ad-
vances we're rejected and because the girl
was also opposed.
He went to the Wlkinsons Friday night
and proposed marriage to Abetha Nc
Cullough. He was rejected, and vowing
he would marry her, hurried to this city
and procured on Saturday a marriage
license. He went to church on Saturday
and told everyone that he was to be mar
ried that night.
About 3 o'clock this morning several
pistol shots were heard, but no investiga
tion was made. When wilkinson failed
20 appear at a neighbours house, where he
was engaged in harvesting a crop Of pota-
toes, John Keller, a farm hand, was sent
to Wilkinson's house and the tragedy dis
covered. Sheriff Perry and the coroner
have gone to the scene.
