BROKE UP THE GAME
WHEN HUNTERS OPENED FIRE ON
FOOTBALL PLAYERS.
BECAUSE THEY DlSLIkED SPORT
Nimrods Fired Into Bunch When
Teams Came Together And Live
ly Man Hunt Followed.

Freeand, Pa, Special: General dis
like OF football is supposed to have
been the reason that three hunters
opened fire with shotguns on the Lat
timer Milnesville game at Lattimer
and seriously wounded two players.
The gridiron was promptly cleared and
the uninjured members Of both teams,
with hundreds of spectators, set out
on a man hunt.
The two teams were having a hot
game, and big crowd of rooters was
on hand when three men bearing guns
appeared at the border of a strip Of
woods on one side OF the gridiron.
They spent some time yelling TO the
players. and finally one of them shout
ed: Kick the ball up In the air
We want 10 shoot II" No attention
was paid to this demand, and the
next moment when the two teams
came together in a head-on clash,
and struggled, the three shotguns
poured their contents into the bunch.
Captain Danny Burke, captain OF the
Lattimer boys, and Joe Summers. full
back, fell to the ground. Burke's in
juries were in his right arm and leg,
and he will recover Sommers re-
ceived several shot in his side, as well
as in his arms and legs. and il is
feared that some of the pellets
pierced TO the abdominal cavity. His
condition is critical.
After the wounded boys had been
started on their way 10 the Miners
Hospital. the crowd gave chase after
the hunters.
A number Of colliery officials Joined
in the hunt. and Jack Shriner. Charles
Reese and Jack Gooditis, all OF Halle
ton, We're arrested.
Magistrate McKelvey. before whom
they were taken. held them without
bail TO await the result of the injur-
les inflicted upon the boys, and they
were locked up. When arrested the
men denied their guilt. but the police
state that after he was placed in jail
Gooditis made a confession.

is ARREST OF NINE. sTElNHElL
FOR MURDER OF HUSBAND.
IMPLICATED IN HeNloUS CRIME
Charged Also That Woman Was Mis-
tress Of Judge in Charge OF the
Murder Inquiry.

Paris, Cable: There have been
startling developments in the case Of
the murder Of Artist Steinheil and
Madame Japy some months ago. Min
lister OF Justice BRAND has ordered an
inquiry into the charges that Madame
Steinhill was the mistress OF NJ. Ley
dett, the examining magistrate, and
that the latter had been instrumental
In sitting the case.
AS result of these denouements
Madame Steinheil was locked up and
also one Alexander Wolf whom she
has denounced as the murderer of her
husband.
Behind the interest in the crime IT.
self lie the more or less thinly yelled
limitations that France is on the
verge of scandal involving high per
sonalities.
The crime in question was commit
ted on the night of May 81. Madame
Japy was murdered az the same time
as Steinheii. Steinheil was a portrait
painter and a granddaughter OF Meis-
sonier. The assassination Of the wo-
man, however. is supposed 10 have
been incidental 10 the killing Of Stein
he'll. He was the man il was desired

wife and Madame Japy lived together.
