MOTEL with her brother has been
identified by Mrs. Rose McKennett, of

wife of Aivah r. MeKennett.
Mrs. Mckennett has been in Chicago

brother tally with those of Walter
Sommers,i who disappeared from home
on the night of May 81 the same time
Mrs. Alvah- McKennett failed to return
to her home after ACCOMPANYING her
husband, his mother and Sommers to a
party.
An alarm was sent out and Sommers
was apprehended in st. Paul, but re-
leased by the police. for at the time no
charge was made against him.
Mrs. McKennett left a two-year- old
son at the time she is supposed to have

later and his baggage is still at the
hotel. The body of q woman was found

GOOD SHEPHERD

Game sweIIs Relief Fund
to- $3,457.75

Over 1000 persons saw the baseball
game between Milwaukee and st. Pau!
Yesterday afternoon, which was played
for the benefit of the House of the
Good Shepherd, and this number hard
fy tells the story, as hundreds bought
tickets who were unable-;to be present
fans and many whose baseball ohser-
Vations are generally confined to the
score boards down town..
Owing to the fact that. tickets were
sold by numerous persons and in many
places. those who had yesterdays
game in charge were unable to give
the exact figures on the receipts. It
Will be a day or two before all the
ticket sellers will make their reports,
and not until then will the actual re-
ceipts be known.
The Globes estimate of $1,000
appears to be conservative, as there
We're fully 1000 present at the game
and it is altogether likely that 1000
bought tickets who were unable to at
tend. Many persons, realizing the vir-
tue of the cause, purchased blocks or
the tickets, and still more who never
attended ball game in their lives con-
tributed their share to the aid of the
sisters.
While the game was brief, the base
ball presented by both teams was well
worth seeing, and Slattery's flight in
the sixth inning with a policeman
waving his club at his heels, furnished
no end of amusement to the fans and
doubtless to many who did not know
what it was all about. The fans were
disposed to resent the objections of the
Milwaukee players, but the foot race
turned the whole thing into broad
comedy that was enjoyed by players
and spectators alike.
