He began with a two-base hit, made
another, and was credited with a third,

singles, crossed the home plate every
time he was at the bat. and was cred
tied with a total of six runs. That was
not all. At short he gathered in every
thing within a rod of him. He picked
out a hot liner with one hand and froze

OLDHAM A SUICIDES?
Jumped in Front of Santa Fe Train
No. at Siblev Mo-


Every circumstance relating to the
killing of young Oldham by Santa F'e
train No. 1 at Sibley, Mo-, the early
part of the week, indicates strongly
that he did the Tracy act: that he sui
cided in order to avoid being taken by
the officers of the law to serve an un-
finished term in prison. It is generally
understood in the vicinity of that occur
renee that a sheriff from Montana was
in that region trying to capture him
and take him back, fugitive from JUS
tice to complete sentence for murder.
People say that he told several times
that he was intent upon self-destruction;
he walked along the track conscious of
the rapidly approaching train, warned
as he was by the constant ringing of
the bell, and then a second before the
locomotive passed, he stepped in front
of it and was hit in the back. He was
twenty-fv years old.
