AMATEUR AERONAUT KILLED.
Dora Morrison Dashed to Death by a
Fall of 1000 Feet.

ANNA, ILL.,, Nov. 4.-Dora Morrison, an
inexperienced aeronaut of Galesburg, fell
from a balloon here to-day and was in
stantly killed. She had assembled to
height of 1000 feet, hanging by her arms, as
she started. being unable to draw herself
up to the trapeze bar.
Professor Schwartz, who regularly makes
ascensions for a carnival company which
is exhibiting here this week. endeavored to
persuade the nineteen-year-old girl not to
go up. although she had made two sue
cessful ascensions last week at Lincoln,
where she joined the company. She insist
ed, and she was ready to start refused
to allow him to fasten the lifeline to the
trapeze bar. 1t was evident to the balloon
man and to the thousands of spectators
that she had not made a proper start. In
vain she struggled to draw her body up TO
the trapeze bar, but each effort only ex-
hausted so much strength. Finally the
climax was reached when the form was
seen to CULVER and leave the balloon. Over
and over 1t turned, until the body was
crushed and broken against the earth.

FOR RESISTING ROBBERS.


CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Because he resisted
the efforts of thugs to relieve him of his
valuables Charles E. Bohlene, a West Side
real estate dealer, was shot early this
morning, and died shortly after being
taken to the county hospital. Bohlene,
with several other persons. was in Ben
jamin Maroviglia's saloon, at 724 West Har-
rison street, discussing politics, and at 1:30
a. m the meeting broke up and only Bob
lene and the saloon keeper remained, the
two intending to go home together, as they
lived but a short distance from each other.
The proprietor turned out the lights pre-
Iaratory to going home. and was engaged
in locking up the place when Bohlene
heard noise at the front door. He opened
il and went to walk out, when he was con-
fronted by four masked men with drawn
revolvers Two of the robbers Immediately
went past Bohlene into the saloon and
proceeded to rife the cash register. Boh-
lene was a powerfully built man, and, COM
prehending the situation, at once started
for one of the burglars who had remained
ON the outside, and with good stiff punch
sent him Keeling TO the sidewalk. Seeing
this the remaining robber fired at Bohlene
who fell MORALLY wounded. The police
have good descriptions of the men, but no
trace of them has yet been found.

PREPARING FOR INDIANA.
Chicago VIII Try to Drub the Bloom
fngton EIeyen-Saturday'sR Receipts.

CHICAGO, Nov. 4.-Indiana University
will play Chicago on Marshall Field Satur-
day. The Maroons expect an easy victory,
but they are taking no chances and will
train hard this week. After the showing
of the Maroons in the Beloit game on
Saturday, Stage started in to give them
week of perhaps the hardest practice they
have yet had. The Maroon coach was high
ly displeased with the miserable work Of
his proteges and took no pains to conceal
it. All the boys could do was simply to
take the lectures that were coming to them
and keep STILL
Stagg commenced the weeks practice
with long session of signal practice. 1t
was not until ten minutes before that the
Maroons were sent off the field to the gym.
Constant signal practice for speed and
accuracy was the programme. The hos
ptal list is decreasing. Bezdek got into the
game for the first time since the Illinois
game. wightman's hand. upon which he
has been compelled to wear heavy leather
gauntlet, is slowly getting well. Speik is
still troubled with a sore shin. The worst
feature Of the work was a severe bruise
which Catln sustained. In tackling he
wrenched loose a ligament in his chest.
Coach Stage however, said the injury
would not be serious.
Managers Baird and Fitzpatrick have
counted the money taken for tickets at the
Wisconsin Michigan game last Saturday,
and while the official figures with expenses,
will not be ready for nearly week the
estimate shows that about $4,000 went
through the gates on paid admissions. The
total receipts will aggregate in the neigh
borhood of $4,000. Of which Chicago Will
receive 10 per cent. gross for the use OF
the field. After all the other expenses are
taken out the balance will be equally
divided between the athletic associations
of the two colleges, each receiving 1000
or $4,000.
With the Wisconsin game only a few
days off, only five members of the regular
Northwestern team appeared for practice
yesterday. Including the substitutes and
men were in uniform. AS result of the
apparent lack of interest the coaches are
downcast, but doing everything possible
to revive the dropping spirits OF the play
ers. That many of the regular players
deliberately absented themselves from the
practice is certain, as none of them was
seriously injured in the Purdue game last
Friday Some of the team, however, left
Evanston yesterday to return home to vote.
Allen, the star tackle, was given a trial
at quarter back, and will doubtless play
that position against the Badgers. He
made an exceptionally good showing for a
promise of becoming as good a quarter
back as ne is a tackle The failure of
HOLSTER to find a suitable man for the
position of quarter back prompted the
coach to try a heavy man in that posi-
ton.
