a Foul Murder.

a Foul Murder.
The coroner's inquest held on the
body of the man found dead in the
field Of Ole Berkhole, southwest OF
Wannaska Monday of last week, dis
closed that the dead mans name was
John Stuart, and that he had in all
likelihood been murdered by young
man named Mckenzie, who it seems,
had been with Stuart for some time,
and who came to Roseau county
with him. Stuart, who it appears,
was householder, had been stopping
for some time with W. Stevenson,
about fifteen miles from Wannaska.
On Dec, 30, Stuart went to the post
office at Wannaska, and there got a
registered letter from Harlan, Mont.
containing a considerable sum of
money. Stuart opened the letter in
the store at Wannaska, and several
persons present saw that it contain
ed quite large sum. He returned
that afternoon to Stevenson's and
during the evening told Mckenzie
in the presence of Stevenson, that
he would have to go to work, as he
was not going to keep him up any
longer, and that he intended to leave
Roseau county next day. Stuart
said he was expecting money from
his brother, and that when it came
he was going away too.
On the morning OF Dec. 81, Stuart
set out afoot for Roseau, and Nc
Kenzie borrowed a shot gun from
Stevenson, and said he would go to
Wannaska and see if his letter had
come. Both men lett Stevenson's at
one time, but taking different roads.
That evening Mckenzie returned to
Stevenson's, and said he had got his
letter. Asked if he had shot any
thing, he said he had shot chicken,
but that it was too poor to carry
home. He was restless all night, and
left in the morning before daylight,
without breakfast, going directly to
Roseau. At Roseau, he displayed
quite a roll Of money, and spent
lavishly all New Years Day, and left
in the middle of the night, nobody
knowing which way he went.
The inquest discloses that he had
not been at the postottice at Wannaska
the day Stuart left Stevenson's for
Roseau, nor subsequently, and that
he had gotten no letter from that
office. The shot and wads taken from
the wounds in Stewards head are
Identical with those with which the
gun was loaded that Mckenzie bor-
rOWed from Stevenson the morning
OF Dec. 81, 1905: and the inference
comes naturally, that Mckenzie, in
stead of going to the postottice, made
a detour and came out to the road
which he knew Stuart would travel to
reach Roseau, and there lay in wait
for him, and killed him for the money.
The wound was that OF shot gun,
and the lower jaw was carried almost
completely away. The body had been
carried off the road about hundred
feet, and few branches thrown over
it.
Mckenzie was known in ROseau
county as Billy Smith, but Stuart
said he had known him from boy,
and that his real name was McKen-
Zie.-WarlOad Plaindealer.

AMATEUR CARD
Welter- Weight Is Restored
to Former Standing and
Will Compete in Tourney
DOCTORS EXAMINE BOYS
Eastern and Local Boxers
Are All Found to Be in
the Pink of Condition

Willie Wolff. the fast welter-weight
boxer, will take part in the tour
nament of the Olympic Club which opens
at Mechanics Pavilion tomorrow night
This was the decision reached at a meet
ing of the members of the Pacific Anna
teur Association held last night. BEFORE
the question was settled several spirited
debates resulted, for the fight in the
Wolff case has been bitter one
Wolff was reinstated by vote of IL TO
l, which was afterward made unanimous
E. ]. Lynch of the Ariel Club, Max Rosen-
field. captain of the Olympic Club. and
Eddie Smith, representing the Reliance
Club, made hard fight for Wolff, basing
their claims on the fact that he had been
dealt too harshly with when suspended
last December
George James, chairman of the regis
tration committee of the P. A. A., was
not present at the session, but sent
letter in which he requested the COM
mittee to vote against the reinstatement
of Wolff. James has been making the
fight against the boxer, claiming the
local authorities have no power to act in
the case until a decision has been handed
down by the national board.
Wolff stands very good chance to be-
come the American amateur welter-
weight champion. He is one Of the best
boys this city has ever turned out, win
ming the welter-weight title in the last
two coast Journeys held at the Olympic
Club. Wolff will fight under the colors
of the Ariels.
Drs. McNutt, Gibbon and BacigaIupi yes
terday examined all the local and Eastern
boxers entered In the tourney. Each Of
them was found to be in perfect condition.
The certificates of the physicians will be
handed over to Chief of Police Dinan to-
day.
All contestants must weigh in at Mechan-
les Pavilion tomorrow night at o'clock.
They will then be given their cards of ad-
mission to the Pavilion. Any one found to
be over weight will be thrown out. This
is not likely, as all the boys have worked
hard and are down to weight at the pres
ent time.
The bouts will commence at o'clock
sharp each evening. This is necessary, as
there are so many goes to be decided.
Eddie Graney will referee all the fights.
The sale of tickets is going merrily on,
and the amount of pasteboards already
disposed of has surpassed all expectations.
Seats may be procured either at the
Olympic Club or Harry Corbett's.

TRAIN JUST
MISSES AN AERONAUT
William Mattery Has Fight
for Life While Descending
i'm His Balloon.

CHICAGO, April 2-Battling with ad-
verse currents of air, which were blow
ing him directly in front of an Illinois
Central express train as he descended
5000 feet from a balloon to the earth
in a fimsy parachute, William Mat
terry, a French aeronaut. yesterday
fought for his life while 5000 people
watched the struggle,
The engineer of the train saw the
aeronaut less than 200 feet in the air
above him, descending directly before
his train. He applied the air brakes
but knew that unless Matery conquered
the air currents he was powe-less to
save him from death. The aeronaut
fought with every muscle in his body
He swung himself back and forth on
his little trapeze. he kicked and made
every effort possible to- swerve his
parachute away from the path of the
train. Suddenly the parachute sank
quickly to the ground just as the train
rushed by. Thousands of persons ran
to the scene. expecting to find the man
gled body of the balloonist.
The parachute was crushed, but Mat
terry, by flinging himself from it at the
last moment, had escaped death under
the engines by two feet. He rolled
down an embankment and arose un-
hurt physically, but suffering from the
strain of the battle through which he
had passed.
Mattery and w. H Mckinney. an
other ieronaut, had entered into a
balloon race at Sixty-seventh street
and Stony Island avenue. The winner
of the novel contest was to be the one
who remained in the air the longest
$500 purse. the contribution of Chi
cago aeronauts. was the reward to Mat
terry, the winner.

PRESIDENT WHEELER TALKS
ON NEW FOOTBALL RULES
Thinks the Ten-Yard Gain System VIII
Result I'm Too Much Line
Bucking.

BERKELEY, April 2.-The adoption
of the new football rules in the East
is discussed by President Wheeler Of
the State University in a signed state
ment issued by him today as follows:
The rules finally adopted for the new Ameri-
can intercollegiate football game are, l see,
essentially those worked out at the last pre-
vious meetings of the rules committee. There
can be no doubt that these rules Will effect a
very radical change in the game, but exactly
what that change will be / think one at
the present time can foresee. Nothing short
of one entire seasons experience can, for in
stance, determine how the new ten-yard rule
will operate The rule is intended to diminish
line bucking, but there some experts who
prophesy that the very fear of end runs will
cause the defense to so strengthen the ends OF
the line as to weaken the center, and so after
all give enhanced temptation to bucking.
should, myself, think that bucking would be
thereby discouraged and that something will
take its place. l am sure do not know what
this will be. At any rate we have decided for
ourselves to leave the Eastern people to do our
experimenting for US this coming year / shall
look with great interest to what sort OF a
game Will develop itself out of the new rules

SEALS ARRIVE
FROM V|SAL|A
Manager GIeason's Charges
Look Fit and Ready to
Open Season on Saturday
PARK WILSON PLEASED
TOssers viii Be Out at the
Park to Practice Bright
and Early Each Morning

The San Francisco baseball team ar
rived last night from its training quar-
ters in Visalia. each man looking the
picture Of health and just aching for the
season to open. The team paraded up
Market street and was greeted by large
and enthusiastic bunch of fans.
Captain Wilson is more than pleased
with the form of his men. Although the
weather in the southern part of the State
did not permit of as much work as the
veteran leader would have liked, still he
is sure the men are properly limbered up
and in just as good form as any nine he
ever headed into the midst of a season s
campaign and Parke has had a whole lot
of experience in his time.
The Seals will be out at Recreation
Park bright and early this morning to
timber up. From now till Saturday the
boys win be put through their stunts on
the local field twice day so that they
may be kept properly on edge. They will
indulge in light work only, their heavy
training having already been gone
through
The young players, Doyle, Sears and
Sales, have showed up well in practice
and look TO be the makings of good men.
The work of Charlie Street, the new
catcher, is a revelation. He can wing EN-
around to the bases like old Buck Ewing
was wont to do and he is there with the
timber good and strong. Street is des-
tined to become a great favorite with
the local fans
Manager Gleason is a busy man these
days getting the grounds into form for
the opening of the season next Saturday
afternoon. The field is in good shape af-
ter the rain and the grandstand and
bleachers are being remodeled for the
comfort and convenience of the fans.
Everything points to a good beginning If
the weather permits.
President Bert yesterday issued his an
nual book of Instructions to the umpires.
He reminds them that they are to have
full charge of the field and that no
rowdyism will be permitted. Fines are
10 be imposed for unnecessary kicking,
and the captains of the opposing teams
are the only men who will be allowed
TO question the umpire's rulings.
