deavor to put down a guard some&distance
before 1t so as to prevent its removal. If
he does so, the opponent will probably be
directed by his skip to remove the guard,
thaf the winner or nearest stone to the
tee may be struck away by the next player
on that side. This may be done so fairly
that the striking stone rests IN the place
of the 5one driven away. 1t is then the
aim of the other side in turn to guard
this stone, which has become the winner
and so the struggle may continue until all
have cast their stones.
AS the stones are played and lie in all
manner of positions around the tee, the
game becomes much more complicated
than indicated, and requires much more
knowledge, the incest calculation in Civ
Ing direction and the utmost care and
precision of aim on the part of the player.
The stones may be SO mixed that an at
tempt to remove the winner of the one
side, If unsuccessful, may result in still
greater damage to the other.
When a stone lies close to the tee, and
is so thoroughly guarded as to be impreg-
nable to the direct stroke, 1t may be re-.
moved by a dexterous ;in-wick The In
wick is effected by playing for a stone
some distance in front of the teesand out

The efforts of each player are directed
by the skip. He indicates what is best to
play for and directs the sweeping; he
himself plays the last shot at each head.
The Skip is supposed to be one of the best

HANSTATE TOURNEY
Committee of Bowling Associa-
tion Holds Meeting

The executive committee Of the State
Bowling association met yesterday aft
ernoon at the Windsor hotel to arrange
for the state tournament to be held
either in st. Paul or Minneapolis
March 27, %, 2s, 80 and 81.
The committee was composed of
President H. w. Fowler, Minneapolis;
First Vice President F. J. Arndt, Still
water; Second Vice President r.. &c.
Huntsnlan, st. Paul; Secretary T. Z.
.OWllles, Minneapolis; Treasurer w. A.
Ryberg, Minneapolis, and four mem
.bers of the board of directors, w. e.
Easton, Saltwater; W. H. Higgins,
Minneapolis; r. j. Doris and Fred
sGosewich, of St. Paul.
Notices will be sent to all the alley
owners Of the state notifying them of
the tournament and they will be asked
to send in entries.
We believe Minneapolis ito be the
best place for the tournament ON ac-
count of the better bowling facilities
due to the cooperative alleys, said
one of the committee, but if the alley
owners of st. Paul can make better
terms the tournament will be held
here"
The manufacturers of bowling goods
in both cities will be asked to assist in
advertising the tournament by sending
out circulars to their customers and
with all goods. Last year twenty nine
teams participated in the meet which
was held in Minneapolis, but this year
at least forty are expected.
About six of the city teams expect
to attend the national bowling tourna
ment at Milwaukee in February and a
large number of teams from all over
the state are making preparations for
the trip.
The election of officers OF the state
association will be held the Sunday

CUTLER MOUNTAIN VICTIM.
she WAS Mrs. Bessie Bouton. Dau.h-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. IL
of Syracuse, n. Y.

Colorado Springs, Col, May S.-Mrs.
hempster, wife Of Richard Kempster,
OF Syracuse, n. Y, has identified the
remains of the Cutler mountain victim
as that Of her daughter, Mrs. Bessie
BCutOn, and has started with the re-
mains for New York The identifca-
ton was made complete by the dental
work upon the teeth and by a scar
upon the right side Of the left fore
finger, as we'll as by the hair. The
mother charged that Milton Andrews
attempted to murder the girl by poison,
while on the Pacific coast, and this
cOnvinces the police hat if they can
capture Andrews they will be able to
establish a good case against him.
The body of Bessie Bouton was found
on Cutler mountain, south of this city,
on the afternoon Of December i last.
The woman had been shot in the head
and every article Of her clothing re-
moved. The body had been placed
face downward, and in an effort to
prevent recognition gasoline had been
poured over the remains and a fire
built under the face. The extensive
dental work was not destroyed, and it
was this that led to the positive iden-
tity Of the victim.

TEAMS DRIVEN BY NONUNION
DRIVERS ARE MOI k0LESTEl
There Were Too Many willing to
Take the Jobs the Strikers Left,
and Their Cause Suffered-A Com
nlittee to Investigate the Cause
OF the Strike.

Chicago, May S.-This week will
bring either an end to the teamsters'
strike in Chicago or one of the worst
industrial upheavals in the history of
the city. The business men appear to
have gained a decided advantage. and
the Transfers, it seems, must either
yield Or decide to extend the strike by
calling out thousands Of other work
men in affiliated unions. The business
men have made preparations, which,
II carried out successfully, will COM
pei the teamSterS to surrender or call
o2 other unions for assistance.
The Chicago Federation Of Labor
met Sunday, but took no action look
ing to an extension of the trouble, with
the exception of the passing of resolu-
tons charging the Employers ~associa-
tion with conspiracy and asking that
States Attorney Healy start an inves-
tigatiOn of their business methods.
Every business house involved in
the trouble will at least double their
force OF n~on-union men. Each wagon
will be guarded by deputy sheriffs Or
policemen, who have received instruc-
tons to use every p~eaceable means to
quiet the ~rioers, or, failing in this, to
shoot to kill.
The seven express companies made
deliveries in all parts Of the city Sun
day. In not a single instance, it was
asserted, had any OF the wagons met
with opposition. During the meeting
Of the Federation Of Labor several of
these wagons passed and Tepassed IN
molested in plain view Of the labor
men.
During the day several Of the firms
involved in the strike succeeded in re-
pl%enishing their coal supply, which in
many cases had dwindled down to
nearly nothing. All these coal wagons
were driven by n%on-union Transfers,
but no opposition was met with.
The Employers association, through
their chief counsel, Levi Mayer, an
nounced they would do everything in
their power to assist the committee
appointed by Mayor Dunno to investi-
gate the cause Of the strike. President
Shea of the Transfers union said that
the unions would be found ready to as
sist the mayors committee in every
ANN possible.

Big men are out to get even, and
somebody seems to have started some

From reliable sources it can be said
that the grand jury has struck a sig

sensations when made public.
One person actively connected with
the senatorial contest in st. Louis is
said to have become entangled in the

attempts at corruption of voters, but
in another way which smacks consid-

assumed by those on the inside that
