THEY BOTH DIE OF POISON
Bodies Found After Lapse of Two
Weeks, BY Some Neighbors.

REGINA. ASA, April 7.-One of the
most CHASTITY and tragic affairs with a
touch of the mysterious in it, that has
ever occurred in the Northwest ter
rjtory. has just been brought to light
about sixteen miles from here.
For two weeks past neighbors no.
ti,ed the deserted appearance of a farm
ut the Boyle settlement belonging to
two brothers named Nords. At last
some one, more curious than the rest
found a dead dog ted to chain, hav-
i'm died of starvation.
glance through a window of the
house showed terrible sight. Face
dounwards on the floor, with arms
outstretched one brother was seen,
while near by, on bed, was the other
brother. Both We're dead. Several
ueighbors broke in the door of the
house Lying between the brothers on
the floor was small bottle containing
poison. Although there was apparent
IL no motive for the two men to have
taken their lives, yet it appears but
too probable that they deliberately
committed suicide.
An examination of the stable showed
picture almost as pathetic as that
in the house. Stretched on the ground,
with protruding eyeballs and ribs
sticking through their tightly stretched
hides We're the carcasses of four
horses. The awful agony that they had
undergone until death relieved their
suffernss was proved by the fact that
boards had been gnawed and in some
places eaten through by the starving
beasts
The whole affair is wrapped in sys-
terry An inquest will be held.

BESSEMER BALL
 TEAM DISBANDED
IT IS STATED THAT ASSOCIATION COULD NOT PAY EXPENSES FOR LACK OF PATRoNAGE-PLAY- FRS PAID THEIR SALARIES.

Bessemer, July 9.-(Special)-Late to- night the local baseball association held a meeting and decided to withdraw Bes- semer from the Tri-State League The players were paid off and the team dis banded. Poor support by the Bessemer people is said to have caused this action.
 Since the present management secured the franchise Joe Burk has gotten to- geter good team of players and 1t had a good chance to finish in the first divls- ion. For some reason the team was not accorded liberal support and the associa- tion found it impossible to make expen- ses.
 It is not known what effect the action of the Bessemer association will nave on the Tri-State League. A new schedule had been made out and the officers Of the league were of the opinion that all the teams would live through the sea son. Sometime ago Gadsden was fgur- ing on securing the Bessemer franchise and it may be that that city will take the team and finish the season.
 The games scheduled between Bessemer and Anniston next week have been called off but benefit games have been arrang- ed between the Tri-State team and the Edmundson Drug Store company's team next Monday and Tuesday, the proceeds to go to the players.
