The Fatal Dependency Of Lake Lillian
! Citizen Throws = Sadness Over
Christina Season There-

Peter Lundquist, one of the we'll
known farmers of the town of Lake
Lillian, committed suicide last Friday
morning by hanging himself with a
rope in his barn. The deed was CON-
mitted some time between 8 and
O'Clock and his wife was the first one
to discover that something was wrong,
when she went to the barn later and
found the lifeless body hanging from
rafter.
Mr.. Lundquist, it is claimed, had
been quite desponde1t for some time.
he was one of the hailstorm sufferers
last summer and lost nearly all of his
crop. The farm property was heavily
incumbered and we understand that
there was big mortgage resting on
1t. The owner being financially en-
barrassed and man who had also be-
come addicted to drink, this combina-
ton OF circumstances may have led to
the deed of self-destruction. He had
been to Bird Island the night before
and came home in an intoxicated con-
dition.
Lundquist started for the barn in
the morning, claiming that he was 60
ing to milk the COWS. He was gone q
short time when two of his sons also
went out to the barn, and after making
several inquiries of their father re-
turned to the house The boys thought
that he acted rather strangely. Not
returning to the house, his wife became
anxious about him and went down to
the barn, where she found him hanging
nearly an hour after the boys had left
him. The alarm was soon spread in
the neigborhood and Coroner Frost
was summoned. Deputy Coroner Har-
Eold Frost drove out in the afternoon
and viewed the remains. He pro-
nounced it a clear case of suicide.
The body was then prepared for burial.
Deceased was 40 years of age. he
leaves a wife and seven children, the
Oldest of whom is girl of 16 years.
He is connected with one of the most
respected families of the Lake Lillian
community aud his rash act has caused
much sorrow, and has cast pail of
gloom over the community.
The funeral was held last Sunday
forenoon, Student Carl A. johnson of
Rock Island, ILL.,, conducting the SER
- 49,
The interment was in the church burial
ground.
The sorely- afflicted family has the
deep sympathy of the entire community
which is doing everything possible to
relieve the burden which has fallen
upon the heart-broken wife and chill
dren.

Italian Acquitted.

Antonio Pucci, the Italian who was
tried in the district court at Litchfield
on the charge of murder, was acquit
ted. Pucci is the man who shot Fran
cesco Palmirici, a fellow laborer, at
Grove City last summer. The defense
was that the accused man committed
the deed in self-defense and it took
the jury only half an hour to come to
decision. When Pucci was set free
he was naturally overjoyed at the
good fortune meted out to him.

PLAYER
RISES RAPIDLY
HARRYWOLTERS MAY BECOME
GREAT
Swatts Bray, Known as Happy" Ho-
gan, "Discovers" Fast Diamond
Man While Coaching
Amateur Team
BY Ed Moriarty

Harry Wolters, the phenomenally
fast pitcher and outfielder of the
Fresno team whom Mike Fisher used
too frequently for his own good, was
discovered by Swatts Bray, well
known to Los Angeles followers of
the game. Let no one say that Swatts
is unfamiliar hereabouts, as he is. no
other than Happy" Hogan.
Just how Hogan gained his nickname
has never been satisfactorily settled,
but nevertheless "Happy's" real name
Is Swatts Bray.
Should his present clip be maintained
Woters may develop into another Hal
Chase. Harry halls from Santa Clara
college, the pace where Chase learned
to play ball. That in itself is not bad
omen, and Wolters apparently pos
sesses apparently everything which a
ball player of the first Galore should
carry around when engaged in the
game.
His first attempt occurred three
years ago. when soldiers at the Mon
terey barracks, noticing his physical
strength as he tossed boxes for the
Wells-FarSo company, persuaded him
might be something of a sticker.
Wolters made good from the start,
and later registered at Santa Clara,
where he became famous in the box,
defea ting the crack university of the
north. Happy" or, rather, Swatts was
coaching Santa Clara at the time and
taught the novice several things that
were new to the breaker-in.
When Swatts again joined Fisher he
had a wondrous tale to whisper in
Mikes ear, with the result that Wolters
was induced to affix his signature to
Fresno contract. Since joining the
team he has pitched fast ball, cavorting
around in right field when out of the
box, and regularly pulling off hair
raising stunts worthy of an old timer.
His batting has been above the 300
mark since he entered professional ball,
and the manner in which he heaves his
powerful shoulders behind the drives
is a token of a new terror to fielders.
With perhaps the exception of Nc
Lean, the big Portland catcher, VOL
ters is meeting the sphere harder than
any man in the league. On the bases
he probably has no peer among Pacific
or infield hit time and again during the
three late series in which the Fresnos
have participated at Chutes park.
1t is known that an American league
manager is carefully watching the
progress of Wolters, and provided he
maintains the present pace, he may
become a major league adjunct next
season.

WILL TRY TO SWIM
THE ENGLISH CHANNEL

Unless something unforeseen occurs
William J. Glover, the champion long
distance swimmer of Maryland; Prof.
George Kistler of the University of
Pennsylvania, and Peter S. McNally. a
noted Boston swimmer, will try to
swim the English channel some time
this summer.
The great feat of swimming the Eng
lish channel has been accomplished
only once, Capt. Webb winning the
laurels and afterward lost his life in
the rapids below Niagara falls.
William j. Glover, the cha mpion long
distance swimmer OF Maryland, has
been making preparations for several
months to attempt the wonderful feat,
but the necessary financial backing was
lacking. This, the greatest of all
Glover's difficulties, has been overcome,
and he is now in Europe. He is 25
years old and very muscular young
man.
On July 49, 1905. he defeated c. D.
Graham In swimming contest on the
lower rapids of Niagara river. He will
begin practicinS long swims in the
English channel, endeavoring first to
learn the currents before he undertakes
to swim across it. Glover started to
swim when he was very young, and at
the age of IS years swan a distance of
twelve miles.
Prof. George Kistler of the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania is also in Europe,
but has never yet made the attempt,
although he has long record of not
able swimming feats to attest his quail
ifications. Kistler is an Englishman,
but has lived in Philadelphia many
years.
In 1887 Kistler won the mile cham
pionship of the world, competing with
Beckwith of London, who held the
championship for a number of years.
In the "all comers" 1000-yard dash race
of England, which is held annually and
which is open to the world, Kistler
took part every year from 1880 to 1902,
taking many firsts, although competing
with the best swimmers of England
and occasionally famous foreigners.
Peter S. McNally, the noted Boston
swimmer. has sailed for Europe with
his trainer and companion to break the
great swimming records of back his
tory, and he hopes to excel Capt.
Webb's feat of swimming the channel.

M'LEAN AND ESICK ASK FOR
SPLIT
Fast Portland Ball Men Declare That
They Should Receive Portion
Of Money Paid by Gin
cInnati

Special to The Herald.
SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 26.-Pitcner
Essick and Catcher Mclean, the Port
land players who were sold to the Gin
cinnati club, are now in row with the
Portland management over the split
ting up of the purchase price. Each
player holds that he is entitled to half
the purchase money, lnasmuch as he is
the asset.
Essick is very sore over the fact that
he has not been offered one-half the
purchase money, said to be $500, and Is
hollering loud and long The pitcher
declares that he does not have to play
baseball for a living, and that unless
Judge McCreedie comes through with
half the purchase price that he will go
to his home in Clarion, Ia.
You see," said Essick, in an inter-
view, II accepted a cut in my salary
this season, with the express under
standing that If 1 made good and was
sold to a major league club 1 was to
get half the money. Manager Walter
McCreedie agreed to this.
Now, that l have been sold, Judge
McCreedie abrogates the order of his
manager, and 1 am not to get the money
1 was promised. l would not have
come out to the coast this spring If
had not understood that 1 was to get
half the purchase money. One thing is
certain, and that is that / will jump
the league If my terms are not complied
with"
Mclean was not quite so urgent in
his demands nor has he backed them UP
with any threats of jumping. but he de-
clares that he is entitled to half the
purchase money. Mclean gets a 5000
bonus this season for conducting him,
self along sensible lines.
Danny Long, who got the men placed
in the major league, wired them yester-
day to be ready to join Cincinnati Sep
tember 27. The players are to get from
that time until early in May to make
good.
Judge McCreedie is not worried over
the attitude of Essick, and says that If
Essick makes good his threat and goes
home that Portland will get on without
him.

out the country. Numbers of inquiries
are received daily at the Forty-second
street Office of the club and many man.
ufacturers have signified their Intention
of entering cars.
Many of the cars already entered are
of high power type, which should make
the trip doubly interesting, as the ques-

at present.

CLUBMEN TRY
FOR ROWING CREW
ASPIRANTS GO THROUGH PACE
AT PLAYA TEL REY
Coach Franklin Has Green Material
With Which to Work, but Cam
didates Show Marked Inn
provement

Rowing Coach Franklin of the Los
Angeles Athletic club is not saying
much these days, but the veteran oars
man is doing a lot of thinking. A num-
ber of ambitious young men are daily
going through their PAGES over the
Playa del Rey lagoon in anticipation of
eventually making the crew which will
represent the local organization in the
contests planned TO occur between the
San Diego Rowing club and representa-
tives of the northern universities.
Coach Franklin has practically green
material with which to frame a crew,
and If he succeeds in making but a fair
showing no small credit will be forth
coming. Franklin is nothing if not
businesslike. and evidently there will
be no trifiing as regards those who pos
sess rowing ambitions.
A number of the clubmen We're out
yesterday morning and afternoon over
the beach course. The morning prac-
tice was far from satisfactory. as shall
low water hindered to n great extent
those who endeavored to manage the
gigs and work boats. A deeper course
In the afternoon proved more to the
point, and the steady improvement
which has developed under the direc-
ton of Coach Frnklin was noticeable.
No more 'eXhilarating method of
spending an hour or two may be
imagined than dash in the new boats
which have been secured. The craft
are thoroughly up to date in every
particular, and the best results possible
should be obtained.
Dunnigan is perhaps the most persist
ent enthusiast Of the club and travels
down every afternoon for a run up the
lagoon.
The San Diego races are to occur
shortly. and the man judged to be the
best by Coach Franklin will be sent
to the port city as local representative.
