The Cincinnatis liked Pastoruss nit ching
at Washington Park yesterday and did
enough damage TO it to get winning lead
before Pastorius retired. Long hits in
creased the troubles OF the home team.
Mclean made a triple in the second inning
which Kruger supplemented with a two
bagger. Then Mowrey singled and Huggins
doubled. The lambasting was good for three
runs Kruger and Ewing made two baggers
in the fourth inning. Ewing held the Brook
lyns down throughout. and the fine pitching
that Bell did after he succeeded Pastorius
was strong defensive measure but did not
produce any runs for the Brooklyns. The

he thought he wanted To leave town,
he mistook the hitch rack along the
city hall plaza for a part of the corral
and united a horse and cart which be-
longed to somebody else, and started
out to drive. Word was sent to the
city marshal's office that a drunk was
rambling all around, trying to keep
aboard while the cart bounced over
the crossings. Marshal Moore and
Officer Maple located AcOsta, who at

Mexican who works on the Goeber

BEEN BOOTING FOR
TUNE FOR YEARS
MAGNIFICENT DIAMONDS TO VAL
UE OF NEARLY 100000 FOUND
IN ARKANSAS SINCE FIRST
DAY OF JANUARY.

LITTLE ROCK, Ark. Aug. 4.--One
hundred and forty diamonds, varying
in size from one-fourth to six and one
quarter carats, and variOusly estima-
ted to be worth from $3.50, 900 to $780,
900, have been found near Murfrees-
boro, in mike county, Ark, since the
first of January. The announcement
was made today upon the authority
of Dr. George Kunz, of New York, hon
orary member of the United States
geological survey, vice-president of
Tiffany & Co, of New York and one
of the most noted diamond experts in
the world. DR.. KunZ, with Henry S.
Washington, of New York, and com
pany of New York bankers, spent near
ly the entire month of January in
Pike county, on the farm of Henry
Huddleston, who had been booting the
shiny pebbles about for years without
knowing their value
An investigation was secretly car
ried on and the diamonds submitted
10 the most rigorous tests. There is
no longer doubt that genuine diamonds |
we're located. One hundred and forty
stones were found on one tract In a
formation, the strata being
similar to that of the famous Kimberly
nine. in South Africa.

NEW YORK. Aug 2,-"The grave
yard" as the foreign populated neigh

Thirteenth and Fourteenth street is
known locally, gave up a fresh crime
rlvaling the notoriety of the mysteri-
GUS butcheries of last week. The
latest discovered victim was an eight
year-old girl The body was badly
mutilated when life was extinct.
The three murders are strikingly
similar Last Thursday night "a wo-
man was strangled in a boarding
house; the next morning the body of
still unidentified woman who had
been choked to death was found in an
areaway
Katie Pritschler, daughter of res
taurant waiter, disappeared a week

A ribbon placed about the throat and
drawn so tightly that 1t cut the flesh
showed how she died. Her body was
found today

CAIRO, H., Aug. Mot until he is
given a ride in a rubber-tired hearse
does Mark Twain intend to take an
other overland trip. He made this
quite positive today in letter to
Mayor George Parsons, of this city,
in declining an invitation to be his
guest during the visit of President
Roosevelt on October 3, while the lat
ter is making his trip down the Missis-
sippi river to attend the National
Waterway Association at Memphis,
Tenn. Mr.. Clemens is particular about
what kind Of hearse he rides in; 1t
must be rubber tired, he insists on
this. The letter lis as follows
TUXEDO PARK, N. Y, July %
Dear Mr.. Parsons: thank you heart
ily for the high compliment OF the
invitation and | would accept at once
II could make the trip in ship. but
as that is not possible am obliged to
decline. To me a land journey is the
perfection Of discomfort, and am not
expecting to take another one until /

tires, too, or | will cancel the engage

time. indeed. | am able to predict
