Today's Game.

Chicago, ILL.,, Oct. with nerves
still tense from the strain of yester-
days battle between the respective
champions Of the American and Ma.
tional leagues, baseball enthusiasts
gathered early to witness today's
struggle for the championship of the
world.
Hours before the gates were opened
all the streets in the vicinity of the
West Side grounds were thronged with
people eager to gain admittance. The
crowds were so dense hat traffic was
hampered. The sky was overloaded,
the air was damp and wind added to
the discomfort.
Later in the day, however, the sky
cleared and the sun came out bright
and warm, promising ideal conditions
for the game.
In the fourth inning Chicago scored
two runs, the score at that time being
Chicago 3, Detroit /.
The Batteries.
Batteries-Chicago, Pfester and
King; Detroit, Mullin and Payne.
Each With One in Second.
In the second inning Detroit scored

Some years ago an old soldier in a
middle western state was compelled
to refund $430 which he had drawn as
back pension, because the pension
commissioner unofficially declared he
was not entitled to it.
Decision Reversed.
Shortly afterward the pension bu-
reau reversed the decision. The $430,
however, had disappeared into the
conscience fund.- and under the law
it cannot be recovered except by spe-
cial act of congress. Whether con-
gress will do this or no, remains to
be seen, but in the meantime Secre-
tary Reynolds is being bombarded
with demands for payment.

There was an additional contribu-

envelope containing 40 cents and post

that had the amount been 80 cents he
could have identified the stricken con-

Mrs. Anna Elizabeth Strong, widow
of the late Frank Strong, an engineer
on the Laramie-Rawlins district of the
Wyoming division. by her attorney,
Thomas H. Gibson, today began suit
against the Union Pacific Railroad
company for SIS, 900 damages for the
death of her husband, alleging general
negligence Oh the part of the railroad
company and a faulty and defective
train order. The suit is under the act
OF congress of June, 1906, concerning
liability of employees, and is the first
under that law in this county.
Collision at Ridge.
Mr.. Strong was killed in a collision
at Ridge, Wyo., between two freight
trains, four other men meeting death
and three being injured. The killed
we're Mr.. Strong, Ed r. Murray, an
engineer; George Kelly and Thomas
Hurstrom, firemen. and W. T. Myers,
a brakeman. The accident occurred
in the night and the injured men were
brought here. These included Harry
G. Sims. James Rasmussen and a Rus
sian tramp.
Due to Misleading Order.
1t was stated at the time that a de-
fective or misleading train order was
responsible for the wreck. The word
ing of the message is said to have
been capable of different constructions,
and Strong is alleged to have tele-
graphed the dispatcher asking to have
the order clearly stated. The collision
followed.
Sims Also Sued Company.
Mr.. Gibson is also interested in the
suit Of Sims against the company. lie
having lost a leg as a result Of tbs
accident. The suit was brought at st.
Joseph, Mo-, and tried recently.
Mrs. Strong since the death Of her
husband has been living in this city
and at Leslie. She is now in this city
and will be present at the court room
when the case is called. The hearing
will probably be heard in the district
court here.

NAMED ON
COMMITTEE
BISHOP GRAVES OF LARAMIE AS
MEMBER OF COMMITTEE OF
MISSIONARY BISHOPS.
To This Committee Is Referred Matter
Of Petitions for New Missionary
eishops-some important Cues
tions Demanding Attention Of TrL
ennial Convention.

Bishop Graves of Laramie has been
made a member Of the committee on
missionary bishops, which is n OF
the standing committees of the house
of bishops Of the general convention
of the Episcopal church, now sitting
in Richmond, Va. The other members
of the committee are the bishops OF
Montana, Salt Lake, Harrisburg, cen
trail New York and Hankow, and 1t is
to this committee that the matter OF
petitions for new missionary districts
is referred, and the selections of the
new bishops of the new districts is
largely in their hands, as they make
recommendations and their recommen'
dations are largely followed.
Western Members Pleased.
Episcopalians here are much pleased
that Bishop Graves has been made q
member of this committee, as he is
known to favor the erection of the
state Of Wyoming into a district by
itself and the appointment of a bishop
for Wyoming alone, and they also fee
that he will be able to make sugges
tons that will insure the right man
being sent here.
Disfavor Reductions.
In the house of deputies yesterday
the matter Of first Importance was the
discussion relative to the reduction in
the matter of representatives from
each diocese Of the church. The west
ern dioceses are all opposed to the re
duction Of representatives and. the
resolution was defeated. A resolution
was offered by DR.. Huntington Of New
York to practically change the name Of
the church to read American Church.
The matter will be brought up for con
sideration tomorrow. Another matter
of interest was the passage of a joint
resolution which recognized the do
cese Of Duluth, and which PRACTICAL.
grants permission to the diocese Of
Georgia to form a new diocese, which
1t is said, will be called the diocese o.
Atlanta.
The colored Question
In the house of bishops the day wa
spent for the most part in the discus
sion of the negro question. TIL
strange part of the matter is that thu
bishops Of dioceses throughout thu
south are anxious that the negroes
shall have their own church and thei

He Looked for Reward.

He placed the dynamite sticks found
by the police in a vacant lot next to
the Chase home. Bigelow stated that
he did not desire to injure any of these
citizens, and his story to the police
of overhearing the plot bears him out
in this statement, but he says he
thought his victims would reward him
handsomely for warning them of Their
danger.
