TEMPORARY INSANITY.
Result of the Inquest Upon the Re
mains of Chapman.

London, Dec. 1.-"Suicide during
temporary insanity" was the verdict
of the coronefs inquest on Elverton
r. Chapman, of New York City, who
committed suicide on the evening Of
Nov. IS, at the Carlton hotel by throw
ing himself from the third floor land
ing TO the vestibule. The evidence of
friends showed that Chapman while in
Paris exhibited signs of arrangement.
He therefore was closely watched at
the hotel but eluded the vigilance Of
his attendant and succeeded in throw
ing himself into the vestibule.
Chapman never recovered conscious
ness. Prior to committing suicide his
last act was to hand his banker letters
addressed to his father and sister ex-
pressing regret if they had any dis
agreements in the past and wishing
them long and happy lives.

Beat them Both Games.


Ozark $ aggregation Of baseball twirl-
ers have had their banners turned to
the wall. They lost both Monday s and
Tuesdays game to Van Buren,. The
first was close game and required
eleven innings to decide It, The final
score standing 8 and 10.
Tuesdays game WAS comedy Of
errors the score being 81 TO 4, Sam
Hinkle umpired both games. Monday
there WAS but little kicking by the
visitors. but Tuesday there was big
wrsngle in the first inning and for a
time 1t looked rs though the game would
end there, but our boys, rather than
have no game, conceded everything and
even offered to let the opposition put in
an umpire Of their own choosing, but
this they would not do and finally con.
sented to play the game out. The um-
piring was not faultless, but Mr.. Hinkle
endavored to even matters up as much
ss possible when he had rendered q
faulty decision.
We think even good Bro. Colburn
could have attended the game without
being shocked.
A portion of the Ozark ball team
tarried to long under that tropical plant,
the Anheuser-Busch, which accounts
for the ragged score Of Tuesday sgame.
Ozark has q good baseball team. but
they can t expect to fight booze and
play good ball all within twenty four
hours. They are pleasant set Of fel-
lows and made good many friends
during their stay.
