about the same number of games lost

Coach BENEFIT, of Carolina, has

Pilot Boat Pulitzer Swings Into

An unfortunate accident resulting In
the breaking of Captain C. S. Gunni-
sons leg, occurred this afternoon when
the pilot boat Pulitzer went into the
cold storage company's warehouse with
the tide.
In attempting to stop the boat, which
had not sufficient wind or way with
the hastily raised fore sail to clear the
piles and the warehouse, the captain
standing close to the bits, received a
blow from a ropesend that broke the
small bones OF his leg and laid MIN

caromed on the piles and gently
jammed her nose through the roof of
the cold storage warehouse, Appar-
eutly she liked the kiss for she hung

stern.
A rope to the men of the crews of
a tug and the customs boat was not
caught, or the gay and festive pilot
boat would have been stopped. AS it
was she nearly went into the tug, and
the captain swung her boom just in
time to avoid complication with Uncle
Sam relative to the ;mpudent funnel
of the customs boat which was in the
way.
AS it developed, little damage was
done, and Pulitzer was pulled out of
the warehouse. whittier she went for

Young Ranchman Is Shot Down
While Eating His Dinner.
SHERIFF WORKING ON CLUES
No Motive ls kown for the Murder and
Attempt at lnelneration Of the
Body Of the Victim, Who Had
No Known Enemies.

White Sulphur Springs. Mont. Dec
2.-The deed of fend was disclosed
today when the body OF Homer f.
Ward, ranchman, was found in his
ranch house "a miles northwest OF
here.
The murder was evidently carefully
committed, and then an effort at in
clneratlon OF the body was made, for
the remains were partly burned A
bullet hole In the head showed how
Ward met his death,
There Is a hole In a window pane
that indicates that Ward was shot from
the outside and from the rear while
he was eating, for the table shows
that the murdered man was eating or
had just finished when his end came,
Marks upon the floor show the entrance
Of someone at present unknown. The
body was placed upon bed, covered
with the bedclothing, which was then
saturated with OIL and match was
applied. The attempt at lncineration,
however, was unsuccessful us the flames
were not communicated to the build
ing. The fact of murder Is established
by the burning of the barns. After
firing the barns, which are totally con-
sumed, the perpetrator of the act rode
away.
Ward was young man Of only %
years, not known to have enemies or
entanglements, and the motive for the
crime is mystery The sheriff is
working on clues. which are not dis
closed, which he hopes may lead to
the apprehension Of the murderer.
