DR.. Marcum and Or. Henderson
Perform Autopsy on Martin
Brandley.
DIED FROM NATURAL CAUSES
THINK THE TWO PHYSICIANS
InQueSt Will Be Held Tomorrow
Police Learn Of Victims
Relatives.

The autopsy on the remains of
Martin Brandley, who died last
Saturday morning, was per-
formed on Saturday afternoon
by Coroner E. H. Marcum, as
sisted by DR.. A. E. Henderson.
At the conclusion of the opera
ton, DR.. Marcum stated that he
was satisfied that Brandley came
to his death through natural
causes and was not murdered.
Just what these natural causes
were, the coroner did not care to
state at the present time; he
would confer with County Attor-
ney Mcdonald, and intended to
hold the inquest on Tuesday.
The police have been active in
ascertaining information con-
corning Brandley, his place of
residence and who are his rela-
tives. The dead man lived for
several years at St. Cloud, and
has relatives there. He is about
As years old, and has been con-
sidered a peaceable character,
somewhat addicted to the use of
liquor.
Chief Bailey received a tele-
gram from M. S. O'Brien of Min.
neapolis, in which the latter
states that he is relative of
Brandley and that he (Brandley)
has two sisters, Mrs. Henry
Reese Of Missoula, Mont, and
Mrs. Thos. McDonna of Dickiu-
son, N. D. Communication has
been had with these parties, and
it is very probable some OF them
will arrive in time for the in
quest.
The body will be kept until
after the coroner's investigation,
and all of the suspects who were
jailed Saturday are being held
until after the hearing.

ITALIANS IN PISTOL DUEL.
One MortaIly Wounded and Three
Others Seriously Injured,


New York, July 2.-Four Italian
traders of the Brooklyn colony, who
had been cutting prices on their wares,
assembled at the corner Of Van Brunt
and Union streets, Brooklyn, to talk
over market conditions. In short
time a four-handed pistol conflict was
in progress, in which one of the men
was probably mortally wounded. The
other three were more or less seri-
ously injured and bystander, who
had no part in the fight, received a
bullet in the leg.
The street was crowded at the time
and panic ensued when the fight
started Big detachments of police
were hurriedly sent from two police
stations to arrest the combatants and
restore order.

SAINTS LOOSE IN
FIRST OF SERIES
Jacks0ns and Bemidji Play Fair
Game on a Slow, Wet
Field.

5ne series TO DE played between
the Jacksons of st. Paul and
the Bemidji team, yesterday
afternoon, resulted in a victory
for the locals, by a score of 5 to
3, and was surprise to the fans
who knew that the Bemidji team
was badly crippled.
Holstein, the catcher, Hallet,
third baseman, and Bungo, who
was scheduled to play third,
failed to put in an appearance.
Fleming of Cass Lake obliged
the boys by coming down and
going behind the bat and Sum
mers arrived from Duluth on the
afternoon train in time to get into
uniform. Mogan was put in
right field, and Oman in left;
Hazen was placed on third, and
Lee LeGore OBLIGATED at the sec.
Old sack, with old dad" Lewis
at first.
While the team was somewhat
patched up, it did not lack in
ginger and went right after the
visitors from the start.
Farley LeGore did the twirling
for the home team and pitched a
fine game. He struck out 10 op.
posing batsmen, allowed but 6
hits, and gave one base on balls.
The last two innings he was
simply invincible, and the hard
hitters from the SANITY town
could do nothing with his deliv-
cry.
Williamson, one of the best of
the twirlers IN the twin cities,
lobbed 'em over for the Jacksons,
and he also did good work. He
"fanned" nine batsmen, gave
three transportation to first, and
tive hits were secured off his de-
livery, two of which we're made
By Summers. Hazen laced out
the leather for two-bagger at a
time when it counted, and all of
the boys did good work with the
willow, though it was difficult to
land safe.
Summers was pretty nearly
the whole thing on the infeld.
He made two of the prettiest
catches ever seen on a ball field,
both after long runs, one being
with the left hand. Lee LeGore
stole five bases, going from third
base to the plate on one occasion
when the pitcher had the ball in
his hand.
One of the features of the
game was the work of FOId
Hoss' Mogan. Jack quit regu-
lar playing as professional sew.
eral years ago, but he still under
stands the fine points of the
game. His eyesight has become
poor of late years, and he missed
hitting the ball with several
mighty swings the first two
times up. But when he came to
the plate the last inning, there
was blood in the old mans eye.
Williamson heaved several over
that Jack didn't take a liking to,
but he finally got to first base,
and then he did things to the
youngsters from st. Paul. He
stole second on the first ball
pitched, sliding into the bag on
his manly bosom in a manner
that provoked wild applause,
With the next swing of the
pitchers arm he sailed for third,
and made it by another graceful
head-frst dive. He was think.
ing seriously of stealing home
(he acquired the habit working
for a logging company on the
Indian reservation) when heave
from the pitcher nearly cut
short his career. He scored later
however, and was duly vel
coined.

SPIRITUAL BLIGHT
Dealing with Religious Problems
''The White Death of the Soul"
literary Digest

This striking characterization is given
by John Henry Denison writer in the
Atlantic Monthly, to the spiritual all
ment that is blighting men s souls in
these latter days. This blight is due,
he thinks, to an abuse of intellectual
methods, particularly the historic
method. in dealing with religious prob
lens. He derives the idea from John
m;sa 6nf ttas hs0 H na nrSer tSsn Mr.
Morley does. Mr.. Morley says that in
our day "the old hopes have grown
pale, the old fears dim; strong sane
tions have become weak. and once-vivid
faiths very numb. Religion, whatever
destinies may be in store for it, is at
least for the present hardly any longer
an organic power. 1t is not that SUI
preme, penetrating, controlling, deci-
sive part Of a man s life which it has
been, and will be again. Conscience
has lost its strong and on-pressing en-
ergv, and the sense Of personal respon-
sibility lacks sharpness Of edge. The
natural hue of spiritual resolution is
sicklied O 'er with the pale cast of dis
tracted, wavering, confused thought
The souls of men have become void
Into the void have entered in triumph
the seven devils of secula rity.''
The abuse of the historic method is
thus sketched by Mr.. Denison:
cit is simply this: The method cuts
altogether too large figure as a means
of arriving at the truth. It appears tc
its yotaries, and to the general public
as being the one great and decisive
medium of knowledge, whereas in real
ity it is no such thing. To put it ir
plain English, the historic method con
sists. in determining what is by what
has been. 1t elucidates the present by
the past. It interprets the man by the
| monkey. It arrives at the law of man s
moral nature by going back to the prin
! ciples which governed the anthropoid
ape from which he is supposed to have
sprung. It determines whether the
world is Gods world by reverting Gc
the fire mist in which it probably orig
mated. It determines the moral author
ity Of the Bible by going back to the
ghost worship and fetish worship which
are supposed to be its real genesis. Ii
! other words, the nature and value o1
each present fact is determined by its
historic origin and Development.
