GIRL FouLLY KILLED.
Annie Kinlop's Body Found in the
Woods, Near Little Falls, Minn.

Little Falls, Mimi, April II. There
is great excitement here over the dis
coyery of the dead body of Annie Kin
lop in the woods about four miles from
this city. The body was entirely strip
ped Of clothing, a handkerchief was
tightly twisted about her neck, and
the head was mass of bruises.
The girl, who was about to leave for
the northern part of the state to take
up homestead claim, had been in this
city purchasing supplies. She left here
Monday evening for Darling, from which
station she was to walk to her home,
distant about two miles. After leaving
Darling, she was not seen again until
her body was found yesterday.
The places where the girls body was
found bore evidences Of a terrific strug-
gle. Charles Nelson, living near the
scene Of the murder, says he heard
screams about dusk ON Monday night
and saw two unknown negroes near the
spot. A posse has been organized and
the country is being secured in search
of the negroes.

NORWICH DEFEATED.
Dutton, Montpelier Seminary's Pitching
Wonder, Too Much for Them.

Northfeld, April 17.--In the opening
base ball game of the season on the To-
cal grounds Montpelier seminary de-
feated Norwich University Saturday af-
ternoon, by the score of to 2. The
defeat Of the home team was due to its
inability to hit Dutton, Mortified
boy, who is playing on Montpelier sem
mary for the first time. Dutton is
proclaimed as wonder, and at the
close of the game he was carried on
the shoulders Of his delighted school
mates 70 his home in the village.
The Norwich boys escaped d shutout
largely through the errors Of the visit
ing teams outtleld. Coulogne and Dram
were tried in the box by the home
team, but neither was very effective
against Montpelier. Coulogne struck
out seven men and Dram six, while the
new wonder caused sixteen men to hreak
their backs. Coulogne had chance to
win his own game but failed to con
meet with the ball. Twice the home
team had men on third base, but Dut-
toms fine work prevented them from
scoring. The crowd rooted hard IN the
seventh but to no avail.

Goddard's Base Ball Team De-
feated Mortified.
INTERESTING BUT COLD
Home Team Showed Up Pretty Well in
the Field But Indicated Weakness
With the Stick--Two Pitch
ers Tried Out.


The Goddard seminary base ball team
opened its season on the local campus
Saturday afternoon by defeating the
high school of Northfield by score of
8 to 4. There was fair-sized crowd
present to witness the game, but its
one-sidedness and the cold drove most
all away before the game was finished.
1t was also too cold weather for the
players to warm up to their best. The
game coming so early in the season,
both teams showed lack of practice.
Goddard has only four Of last years.
players on the team, but the five new
men did good work Saturday. The new
men are Laffee. catcher, Pickering, at
third base, Booth, at second, Vivian, in
left field, and Baldwin, in right field.
OF the old players Captain Fraser will
be in the box and Knapp will aslo pitch
a part Of the time during the season.
Pike is at his old stand at first base and
Butler at short. Knapp viii probably
play center field when not pitching.
Capt, Fraser pitched the first five in
nings Saturday and easily had the
Mortified batters at his mercy, fan
ming six Of them and allowing but one
safe hit, Knapp did the twirling for
the last four innings and did good work,
showing good control and striking out
six men.
LaFrana pitched for the high school
and with the exception of the first in
ming was quite effective. He struck
out nine and only five safe hits were
made OIL his delivery. In the frst in
ming Goddard made four runs through
errors on the part Of NorthfeId and
Fraser's home run over the right field
bank which also scored Vivian.
After this inning the visitors settled
down and held Goddard to one run each
IN the third and sixth innings and two
in the eighth
Goddard has good material this year
and as the season progresses will have
a strong team. Her next game will be
with Norwich University Saturday at
Northfeld.

A PANIC.
FIR. Barrett's Presence of Mind
Ayerted Disaster.
in BURLINGTON CHURCH
When Told the Church Was on Fire He
Announced That the Service Would
Be Suspended on Account of
an Accident.

Burlington, April 17.-By the rare
presence of mind of Fir. P. ]. Barrett,
panic and probable loss of life was
averted at the Cathedral of the Inn
maculate Conception last evening, when
d very large congregation got out Of
the church quietly, to find that the
building was on fire. The fire was dis
covered by John McKanna, one OF the
janitors, in the chapel. His first thought
was to warn the people, who were at
tending the evening service, it being
at 7;50 o'clock. Going up to Fr, Bar
rett who was conducting the service he
informed him that the building was on
fire. The first thought that entered
the priests head was that there would
be a terrible panic if he made the
announcement that the building was on
FIRE. With scarcely an instant's hesi-
tation he announced that the service
would be suspended because of an acci-
dent. The congregation wondered over
the announcement but went quietly
from the building. When they got out
side they discovered the fire.
Speaking of it afterwards, Fir. Barrett
said:
..The first thought that entered my
mind was TO prevent panic. / knew
that if it was announced that there
was a fire people would become fright
