HE CANNOT KEEP
Down HIS WEIGHT
PRESIDENTS EFFORTS TO RE,
DucE BY OUTDOOR EXERCISE
A DISAPPOINTMENT.

NEW YORK, July 2O.-In spite Of
the openair life he is leading close to
nature at Oyster Bay President Roose-
welt is said by his closest friends to
be suffering from disappointment over
his failure to lose flesh. When he ar
rived in Oyster Bay the President was
hopeful that by much exercise and a
carefully regulated diet he would be
able on his vacation to greatly reduce
his weight and to put check upon a
manifest disposition to gain flesh, de.
spite usual athletic exercises. He has
a we'll defined adherence Of increased
weight and would be gratifed It the
scales showed that his weight has
dropped to something like $50 or 100
pounds, which was about the weight
Of Governor Roosevelt and Of Vice
President Roosevelt.
The, Presidents weight exceeds that
limit by more pounds than is pleasing
to him, and he is not succeeding in his
endeavor to keep his weight down o,
exercise and regulation Of his diet.
The President actually tips the beam
at 1870, and is at least 20 pounds heav-
Ter than he would wish to be, and his
main hope OF reduction is in a system
of fasting, which might accomplish
his purposeYat the expense Of his great
physical vigor and perfect health.

.WHEELBARR0.N
MYSTERYG CROWS
Still DEEPER
Post Mortem
Examination Held

WHEELING, July 2o-The mystery
surrounding the wheelbarrow case 10
deeper that ever. That the man dId
not hang himself iascettain.
Last night a post mortem examlna
tlon was held over the body Of the
man who was found hanging to tne
handle Of a wheelbarro&. in alley B
Monday night. The examination took
place at the Palace morgus and Dia.
Aekernan, Noome and Gaydash con-
ductedtt.
At the post mortem Coroner Rogers
and several undertakers we're present.
The first part Of the body that was ex-
amined was the neck and throat, which
were found to be imperfect condition,
Gnd we're not effected by the leather
belt that was around the mans neck
when found. After 1t was ascertained
that he did not meet death by hanging
the abdomen was examined and the
stomach opened. Here all efforts to
prove the poison theory were put aside
as no poisonous substance was found.
The last test was made on the sklll
and brain. There were many theories
to the effect that the man struck on
the head and then hung, but the skull
and brain were in perfect condiuoA
and no bruises of any kind were dis,
covered. Every portion Of the body
that was examined was found to be
in a most perfect condition; and the
doctors stated that the dead man
was Of powerful physique and was in
a healthy condition.
When the examination was over all
were puzzled, doctors and the coroner
alike. 1t was proved that the man did
not meet death from hanging, from
injury to the brain or skull, or from
being poisoned.
He is dead, but how did he come to
it? He was dead before he was hung,
in the position found, is fact that is
admitted by the surgeons and corone,
but It is not known how death was
produced. Never before in the his.
tory Of the city was there case that
equals this one in the mystery that is
connected with IT. A man found appar-
emily strangled to death by hanging
and ret no traces of strangulation are
found. That he was not hit on the
skull is proved by the examination Of
that member. That he was not pois-
oned is because the examination Of the
stomach showed no poison. The sur.
geons also say that death could not
have occurred by sunstroke or heat
prostratIon.
After the post mortem was complet
ed, DR.. Ackerman said:
dThere is no sign of death by strang'
llaton, because death in this way
would dtscolor the face, making it
very dark, and the eyes would be
bloodshot. When the eyes were exam
lned they were perfectly clear. There
was not a thing wrong with the brain
and no external mark on the skull. 1t
is hardly possible that the man could
have been poisoned because the stom.
ach when examined showed no signs.
The only way that this could be as
certained would be to make COM
plete analysis Of this member. I can
see no cause whatever Of the mans
death, but it is certain that he was

Another to the Good.

We certainly had bunch ofsurprised
ball players here from Deadwood last
Sunday. ltseems they came down with
the avowed determination of teaching
Custer what real ball playing was like,
but found that teaching was hardly as
much in their line as it might have
been.
Fountain, the much heralded pitcher,
was the easiest thing yet. Will Court
ney met the first ball pitched, and from
then on hits were so plentiful for three
innings that nearly everyone grew tired
of watching the boys run. Eleven clean
hits and four sacrifices netted eleven
runs and incidentally secured the retire.
ment of the generous Mr.. Fountain to
the comparative safety of center field.
Not that his generosity was displeasing
to the rest of the players, for some er-
rors on their part aided in the gathering
of the said eleven runs, but merely that
he might not be compelled to play such
prominent part in the giving. His
successor, Macy, was comparatively
good, allowing four hits and one run, but
more runs were not needed.
The Deadwood boys must be credited
with some very nice playing. although
we are unfortunately unable to congrat-
ulate them upon consistent work. They
were good at times good, but unfortu-
nate, And their batting was not what
we had been led to expect, although
perhaps Heideprem can account for
that, for he was certainly very careful
about letting them injure the ball. Some
four hits was their total for the game,
and one ofthose should be blamed to the
poor field. That is going some. And
Fred got ten strikeouts, too.
Our boys did some mixed playing,
themselves, but the good considerably
overshadowed the poor. Most of the
chances were accepted nicely, everyone
doing his share without any fooli shness
w. Courtney in center field took a cou-
pie of difficult catches in an excellent
manner and Fee in right came thru in
the same way with one. Layton was
overlooked. All the infe'd had chances
and took them easily and well, with q
few exceptions. They were certainly
good enough to win.
The final score, II to 7, really tells the
whole story. Custer was anyway just
that much better.

A Sad Death.

The demise of Miss Lola Viola Keith
ley on Sunday last, August 4, 1907, was
a very sad and untimely death. The
deceased was in the bloom of young
womanhood when she was taken down
with tuberculosis of the throat about
four months ago, and although the best
medical talent was employed to arrest
the progress of the disease, it proved of
no avail. She was 20 years, four months
and fifteen days old and was a woman
of unassuming manners and many ex
cellent qualities, and her death in bud
ding womanhood is sad and untimely
ending. She was the only child Of Mr..
and Mrs, j. B. KeithIey.
Lola Viola Keithley was born in
Clinton, Iowa, on March 20th, 1887. She
came to Custer with her parents October
18th, 1906, and has since that time made
her home here. She was a member of
the Methodist church, having joined
it on her eighteenth birthday. The
funeral was held Tuesday aftern oon
from the residence of her parents on
Crook street, the sermon being deliver
ed by Rev. X. w. Powell. The floral
tributes to her memory were many,
and as beautiful as her features now
resting so calm in their repose.

Before the pump see about.
Then strOlling down his well tr0d beat

Now altho the city lacks in number,
Calm and peaceful IL likes its slumber,
And resent every nuisance which might arOus
From joyial song to the browsing cows
so keene to his duty he hurried hence
To find our ladies on defense.
His peaceful ardor lacked diplomacy
And he was routed DlOst ANONYMOUSLY.
The ladies charge he didn't use
The Kind OF words that they would choose
And each and every one declare
They'd like TO have lock of hair.
Then to the court house they all went
His hash to settle they were bent
They talked and talked and some suTmiSed
That he'd be hanged or ostraciZed.
Can mere man presume to state,
What law and order Is that late?
The ladies say it can't be done
When they are out for song and fun
The council then decides his fate,
While Obstetrics in suspense wait
AS marshal you have been a chump;
Hereafter you just run the pump.
For Custer is a town of grace.
The ladies' rule this blOomin place
The men are nix, the cops can't say,
Keep quiet dears and go your way.
