a member of the guards he was at once
made prisoner and kept so until the
end of the game, while the same was
true if a member of the guards was
challenged by a scout. Capt. William

most sought by the scouts.
Sunday was passed in practising
military manoeuvres and the guards
marched back here. tonight.
The Guards have accepted an invita-
ton to become guests of Mayor Crosby

Train in Colorado.
Tells How He Killed His Wife
At Belmont, Mass.
Made No Effort 10 Conceal Identity and
Will Return Without Papers.

the Chieftain, from Lajunta, Colo,
says:
John Schidlofska, wanted at Bel
mont, Mass, for the murder of his
wife. last Wcdno sday night, was ar
rested, this afternoon, by Sheriff Barr,
while passing through the city on the
Atchison, Topeka. &, Santa Fe Railroad.
Schidlofska confessed and gave the full
details of the tragedy. which has been
puzzling the Massachusetts police.
He said that he and his wife were
drinking and quarrelling, Wednesday
afternoon. They continued their quar-
reling at a park, that night, when her
taunts enraged him to such an extent
that he cut her threat with knife ana
threw the body into a gully. Then he
started for the West, making no at
tempt to conceal his identity. The
prisoner expressed his willingness to
retdrn without cXtradition papers, and

ing the arrival of officers from MaSSa-
chuScttS.
A telegram from Chicago appraised
Sheriff Barr of the fact that he would
be on Il Santa Fe train No. l from the
East. The train stopped but a few
minutes at the station, but this was
sufficient for the sheriff to pick out his
man. Schidlofska made no attempt to
conceal his identity.

He said he came to America from Po-
land five years ago and worked on n
farm near Lynn, Mass. On Feb. IS, 1905,

her, i.e states, the woman represented
that she had $500 and was but % years
of age.
He found afterward that she had hut
$500 in money and was more than 40
years old. The deception she worked
upon him was the constant cause of
quarrels, he said, and these quarrels
had their elimination. Wednesday
night. That afternoon. they decided to
go to California and the wife furnish
ed the money for two tickets Then
they drank heavily during the after
noon and went to park at night.
The quarrel over the statements tic
woman had made before their mar
riage was begun anew. He threw rock
and struck her in the head and while
she was lying unconscious from the
blow, he gashed her throat with pen
knife and dragged the body through
an unfrequented part of the park,
throwing it into a gully and covering
it with rubbish.
Then Schidlofska returned home
where he passed the night, leaving for
the West. Thursday noon. Before leav-
ing he returned the ticket which he lad
purchased for his wife, receiving for
