PRESIDENT POWERS RI

Pat Powers, we'll known and well liked in baseball, is to resign the presi- dency of the Eastern league. He made known his intention to do this in letter to his Eastern league associates in which he says:
 Upon the written request of six clubs, I hereby notify you that there will be a special meeting of the East ern league held at the Hotel Imperial. New York city, on Tuesday, October 24. 1905, at 10 o'clock. a. m. It has been my intention as president of the Eastern league, and with its welfare at heart, to notify the various clubs before the next annual meeting that I would not be candidate for re-eiec- ton to the presidency. 1 deemed it fair to give this notice a reasonable time before the date of the annual meeting fin order that the clubs might not have the necessity of choosing a new officer come upon them suddenly, but have ample time to make their sc- lection.
 'Tn view, however. of this call for a meeting and of the probability of the proposed amendments being adopt ed. believe the time has now come to give you this notice. which do up- on the earliest possible date after re- ceiving the request for the meeting"
 Mir Powers has been president of the Eastern league for twelve years. Among the amendments to be consld- cred at next weeks meeting is one changing the time of the annual meet ing from the first Wednesday in De cember to the fourth Tuesday In Oc- toher. President Powers successor will be chosen at next Tuesdays meet ing.

Quickly the. Sheriff summoned Dis
trict Attorney F. w. Taft, and within
a short time Kelley gave to the two
officers the story of the brutal murder
of George Dunn at the hands of him

story was even more complete than
that told the Sheriff by Brown.
Dunn's murder, according to the
tales of both men, was planned in

the officers of that town, Kelley and
Their objective point was Dunn's
lonely roadhouse. From Brown first
came the suggestion of visiting the
old man. He had heard rumors that
the old fellow had gold galore hidden
in the store. The suggestion fell upon
willing ears. Kelley was as anxious
as Brown to get the money, at what

give battle IL provoked. So they de-

while Brown would await a chance to
deal him a,cowardly blow. But their
plans miscarried. At Dunn's they met
two men in search of work. The pres
ence of the strangers delayed their
game, but they got rid OF them by
sending them to the Monumental mine,
Fastening their progress by telling
them that two men were needed there.
The strangers disposed of. Kelley
raped at the door of Dunn. The store
keeper told him to enter Upon enter
ing the store Kelley, deferred at first by
the stalwart figure of the Irishman,
lost heart and hesitated. A gesture
from Brown stirred him to action, and
he raised his hand and showed the old
man against the counter.
That's your game. Is it," said Dunn,
regaining his balance and facing his
assailant.
The old man bravely rushed at Kel-
ley, who jumped to one side. Brown
took step forward and brought his
heavy club down upon the white head
of the gallant old man, telling him to
the floor. The old man struggled 70

senseless upon the floor. Again and
again did the club fall, and soon life
was extinct.

when he returned Brown compelled him
to use the weapon upon the PROSTATE

John Arbuckle is a bachelor, more
than go years old. He and his brother
Charles came to New York and began
the sale of ground coffee in packages.
They went from this to refining sugar,
and aroused the anita gonism of the

Horrible Details of the Killing of Aged George Dunn Near
Crescent City Given to Sheriff of Del Norte

CRESCENT CITY, Jan. S.-Without
tremor and with no display of
fear or sorrow Harry Brown
and Frank Kelley, two youthful
"hoboes," now confined in the
Crescent City Jail, confessed that on
the night of December 20 they took
the life of George Dunn, a genial
Irishman, long past the three-score-
and-ten mark, who for years past
kept a store on the lonely Crescent
City-Grants Pass stage road. The con-
fession was first wrung from Brown
by Sheriff Crawford, who. by cleverly
playing upon his fears that his part
ner in crime was about to turn states
evidence, induced the youthful but
hardened murderer to tell the story
of the awful crime.
Chilly and with an air Of bravado,
and still with the cringing and fawn-
ing air of an informer, Brown de-
scribed the last moments of the aged
storekeeper, whose great heartedness
had won for him the respect and es-
TEEN Of the residents of Del Norte
County Only once did Brown faiter
in his bloody tale, and then his hesi-
tation was not due to any feeling for
the white-haired old man whose life
he had helped to take. He faltered
because he did not know for a GER
tainty whether his confession would
earn him the reward of the cowardly
informer-usually immunity from the
death penalty He hesitated long
enough to ask If he or his partner in
crime was to be benefited by the con-
fession. When assured by the Sheriff
that he would "get all that was COM
ing to him. he breathed a sigh of re-
lief and went on with his tale of cow
ardly, treacherous murder.

one who could take the life of an aged
and helpless man, Kelley could not
stand the strain. Cursing and swear
