Golden Eagles Defeat Business
Men in Fine Bowling Contest.
NEW ORLEANS RACES
JOCKEY CLUB GIVES BENNING
THREE ADDITIONAL DAYS.
Base Ball Peace Committee on Good
bia-For Trotting Record.

Though dt was very cold outdoors last
night, there was a hot time at the Golden
Eagle alleys. where the home team was
centesting in three-game match with the
South Washington Business Men's Club.
The home team was victorious in all OF the
games, and by scores that. were record
breakers in every sense OF the word, each
game passing into the coveted 900 class. and
twice getting within the shadow Of thou
sand. The Business Men were also playing
in excellent form, and their games were
such that under any sort OF ordinary cir
cumstances they would have gone away
from the alleys victors, yet in the face OF
the onslaught OF the hustling Eagles they
seemed puny by comparison.
Every man on the Eagle five reached
two hundred string, some Of the players
having two of these games, and in the last
game Brandt marked up 2s2. The great
character of these scores can be easily rec
ognized when 1t Is taken into conSidera ton
that they were made by teams that do not
bowl long enough upon one set OF alleys 10
being one night upon the home grounds and
the next playing In an entirely different
place and amid surroundings that are not
familiar.
When the Eagles ran their great string OF
991 in the opening game the audience gave
them encouragement for a repetition of the
work by very liberal applause, but the boys
made poor start and left all Of their good
work for the last half Of the game. They
finished wonderfully strong and reached
952. but were somewhat handicapped by
several unfortunate splits. The supreme
effort came in the last game, and with fine
play from the outset the lads looked good
for the thousand goal but were a few pins
shy when Lansdale came up In the last
frame. To make it he needed a double. but
his chances were destroyed by slight roll
off ko hol he 6rcf da1i hon, ho
left two standing.
: During all of these games the visiting
team was playing steady game, bowling
814 IN the opening game and duplicating
that score in the second. In the final they
reached 1888, but of course were out of the
contest The score follows:'

Departmental League Bowlers.

The Commissioners team of the Depart

of games last night against the navy yard
aggregation, and as q result came out
ahead lin all the three games rolled. Not,
once did they fall beneath the 900 mark,
and in the last game scared away up to 969.
The navy yard bowlers also did good work,
but the bowling of their opponents simply
swept them off their feet. although they
were game to the end, knocking over 900
pins in the last contest. Talbert of the
navy yard team hung up a score Of 233 in
the last game, and 1t was the best Of the

Washington, D. c., Aug. 27.-The
state department has received cab.
legram from Minister Leischman, at
Constantinople, announcing that Viii
liam c. Magelssen. United States vice
consul at Beyrout. Syria. was assassi.
mated yesterday while riding in a
carriage. The American minister inn
mediately brought the crime to the
attention of the government and de-
manded action by Turkey. Acting
Secretary Loomis today called Minis
ter Leischman, instructing him to de-
mand the immediate arrest and pun
ishment of the personos guilty OF the
murder. No demand for money in
demnity for the mans family has yet
been made and probably will follow.
Magelssen was appointed from Min
nesota. Mr. Magelsson was 80 years
old, having been born in 1873. He was
educated in the common schools of
Minnesota and was a student of the
Lutheran College at Decorah, Iowa,
for three years. For a time he was
assistant city assessor OF Sioux Falls,
S. d.. and also associate editor of the
paper called Echo, published there.

flyer does not stop at Harlem. the con.
ductor refused to stop and Hall, just
as the train pulled past the station
walked in and thrust his gun into
Bakers face and placed him under ar.
rest.
Baker turned pale and said "All
right" as Hall put him in irons.
The Pinkertons continued east and
west on the trains and Hall came to
Havre and turned his man over TO
Chief Altman of the Great Northern
special service. He is now in Jail
here.
Shortly after o'clock all the Pink
erton men. deputy sheriffs and sever.
al company officials, all heavily arm
ed, left for Malta on a freight. They
are now securing the country about
Malta for the outlaws, having organ
lied several posses at that point.
Baker. the man captured, is about
35 years of age, of slender build and
sheepherder and COW puncher by
profession. He has been employed for
number of years by former Senator
b. ID. Phillips.
The authorities regard him as a
bad man, as he has several times been
arrested for horse stealing.
The other two men who were impli-
Gated in the hold up are well known
to the authorities. Bakers identity
as one Of the robbers was positively
established by the contents of a
satchel found in his possession by In
