the score being 2,271 to 2.256. The
game was won by Darnell in the last

their own way. Following is the tab
ulated score:

DR.. H. c.. Hoefie, of 1924 Main
street, was looking last evening for
his medicine case and surgical instru-
ments, and had the police department
aiding him in the search. The little
grip in which he carried over 100
vials of medicine and a case of surgi-
cal Instruments was in his buggy
standing on Brady street about $3.50
in the.afternoon, and the doctor was
in his office. When he returned to his
buggy the case was gone.
Conrad Eggers, of 1902 Marquette
street and recently employed on the
stone work of the new Central Meth
odist church at Brady and Four
teenth, went suddenly insane yester-
day morning to the amazement and
sorrow of his wife and his friends.
He left home as usual after he had
had his breakfast, kissed his wife
goodbye in the manner customary
with him, and appeared to be in high
spirits. An hour or two afterward
Mrs. Eggers was surprised to receive
a visit from Bailiff ID. b. Curtis, of the
sheriff's office, who had come with a
where. he said, her husband was ILL.,.
Soon after Mr.. Eggers left his home
he walked into the sheriff's office.
This was about $50. The visitor,
who is about 35 years of age, and a
good looking man, was well dressed.
He told Sheriff Macarthur he wished
TO give himself up. When asked if he
were sick, he. replied that he was not,
but that he was n brigadier general
and that he was being troubled with
birds eating his shoes. In fact. he
continued, he was dead. Those who
take hopeful view of the matter, in
Guiding Sheriff McArthur. express the
opinion Mr.. Eggers may be delirious
on account of an approaching attack
of typhoid fever or some kindred
malady.

bridges and buildings of the Iowa di-
