Milwaukee, Oct. 10.-Ralph w. Ed
dy, the young travelling man who dis
appeared from the Plankington house
in this city on August 1S, three days
before the date which had been fixed
for his marriage in Wooster, O., has
been found.
After leaving Milwaukee he went to
st. Louis and enlisted in the United
States army at Jefferson barracks. He
is now a member of the Thirteenth in
fantry and is stationed at Fort Leav-
enworth Kan.
Long Search by Police.
The disappearance of Eddy created
sensation in his home town OF
Wooster. as we'll as in Milwaukee. The
police Of many Of the larger cities OF
the country have been searching for
the missing man but their efforts
were all in vain until search OF the
records at Jefferson barracks disclos-
ed the fact that Eddy went there Au-
gust 81, declared his desire to enlist,
passed the medical examination sue
cessfully and was accepted as men,
ber of Uncle Sans standing army.
Thought Of Foul Play.
Eddy was engaged to be married
to Miss Lucy Warren, q girl whom
he had known all his life and with
whom, he had attended school. No
reason why he should have disappear
ed as he did has ever been given and
the theory of foul play was long held
by his parents and friends. He trav-
eled for the Alberene Stone company
of NV York. He registered at the
Plankinton house August 13. The
next day he was ses1<about the hotel
at various times and. wrote several
letters The following day he was
again seen,> as was the case for the
three succeeding days. Tuesday, Au-
gust 18, was the last occasion on
which he was seen, and despite ev-
cry effort of the police his where
abouts could not be ascertained. !.
Consult Milwaukee Police.
The Milwaukee police paid no at
tention to the case. On the day Eddy
disappearen Chief Jansen was con-
suited by relatives OF the missing
man, and he said at that time that he
believed Eddy would be found in time.
An examination Of his room in the
hotel convinced all but Eddy's rela-
tives that the young man had fed
and that there was nothing to indi-
cate he had met with violence. He
has left some of his effects in his
room, but soiled collars and cuffs and
other apparel had been scattered
about as If the man had assorted his
baggage and discarded part of it be-
fore leaving his apartment.
The theory entertained by detec-
tives who made an investigation of
the room was that Eddy had simply
flunked his approaching marriage and
had fled without notifying his friends
or the girl he was to marry. This

MYSTERIOUS END
OF YOUNG WOMAN
Killed in a Lonely Spot on Her
Way Home to Prepare for
Her Wedding

Wadsworth, Ohio, Oct. 10.-With un-
usual energy the police authorities to-
day are endeavoring- to unravel the
mystery Of the murder of Ora Lee,
81 years old, handsome factory girl,
whose body, pierced by two bullets,
was found early yesterday on the road
between Wadsworth and the hamlet
Of Custar Hook.
Guy Rasor, the man whom Miss Lee
was to have married is detained by
the sheriff pending developments of
the police Investigation. Rasor denies
all knowledge of the tragedy and in
support of his denial exhibits mar
riage license procured at Wooster yes
terday.
The body Of the young woman was
found by Charles Raser, cousin of
Guy Rasor, as he passed along the
road in the early hours of the day.
No positive motive for the murder
OF the young woman yet has come to
light.
One police theory is that a rival for
the affections of Miss Lee may have
shot the girl on learning of her ap-
preaching marriage to Rasor left
Wadsworth last night ostensibly to
prepare for her wedding. The girls
suit case was on the ground beside
her. Her hand bag was still on her
right wrist and in her left hand she
clutched a handkerchief. There was
no evidence of a struggle. A hundred
yards from the body tracks in the dust
indicated where a horse and buggy
had been hitched to the fence.
Rasor apparently is bowed with
grief. He declares the last time he
saw his fiance was Wednesday night
when they went driving.

almost unprecedented intensity as the
result of the remarkably close races
for the pennants in both the American
and National leagues, the Detroit
American and the Chicago National
league clubs took the field at Bennett
park this afternoon to begin their sec
ond battle for the worlds champion
ship. Both teams are in the finest
of condition for the great series,
despite the gruelling battle each has
been through for the preliminary hon.
ors. Both Manager Chance of Chicago
and Manager Jennings of Detroit have
declared that there would be no ex-
cuse to offer when the series is over.
The memory of the crushing defeat
administered to them by Chicago in
the worlds series last year was an
added incentive to the determination
of the local team.
Opening this afternoon at Bennett
park. the clubs move to Chicago for
games on Sunday and Monday and re-
return to Detroit to play on Tuesday
and Wednesday.

at 10 o'clock and the crowd tmnledi-
ately began pouring in. Every street
car which passed the enclosure after
that time brought its quota of specta-

CHAMPIONSHIP BASEBALL SERIES
theory has apparently proved to be
correct.
Witness in Murder Case.

witness IN Murder Case.
The murder theory which was held
by Eddy's relatives and friends to ac-
count for his strange disappearance,
was strengthened by the knowledge
that the young man was under SUBJ
poena as a witness to appear before
New York court in murder case.
1t was feared Eddy had been killed to
prevent his giving testimony in favor
of the state when the case came on
for trial.
1t was while Eddy was in New York
last winter that he witnessed as as
sault by three persons which resulted
In the death of a man. Eddy accom-
panied the police to the scene o. the
crime and identified the criminals.
His relatives feared that friends of
these persons had followed the young
man and murdered him to prevent
his appearance at the time of the
trial.
Father Offers Reward.
Following the disappearance of the
young man, his father offered a re-
ward OF $500 for the discovery of his
son, dead or alive. Hospitals and
sanitariums were searched, both in
the vicinity of Milwaukee and in the
other citiee and every step was taken
which was thought to be of any aid
in tracing the young man. Every ef-
fort was unavailing, however, and as
last resort it was determined to scan
he lists of the army and navy recruits
over the country, and it was this step
which resulted in the solving OF the
mystery.
Prospective Bride Ill.
A few days ago the list of recruits
obtained In Milwaukee was thorough
ly searched but it resulted in nothing
tending to solve the mystery, and
many other recruiting stations have
also been visited but with no results
until today.
Miss Warren, Eddy's fiancee, be-
came seriously ill by the unexplained
absence of the young man and for
several days it was feared that she
would die. She recovered, however,
although her health has never been
the same as it was before the disap-
pearancc.
Eddy was graduate of Wooster
university and served with the army
In Cuba and the Philippines.

SENATOR Taylor HOLDS
ELECTION Will Be HELD
OPINION DIFFERS FROM THAT OF
THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
GIVES REASON FOR POSITION
Says Constitution FOrbids Legislature
From Exte ading Term Of
Officers

Guthrie, March g. Senate bill.
by Brooks, relative to cities Of the
first class, has caused a good deal of
Interest to be aroused over the state.
After the bill had passed the senate
an amendment was added in the house
which provided the officers of cl-
ties Of the first class in that
portion Of the state which was Tor
merly Indian territory, should hvld
their offices until the next egenral
election
When asked regarding the applica-
tion Of the amendment to the city Of
ChicSasha, Senator Taylor said today,
that in a general way It was material
TO Chickasha, as that town was city
of the first class under judgment Of
the United States court at the date
mentioned In the amendment that Is,
November 16, 1907. AS ID whether Or
not city officials must be elected in
Chickasha, he admitted that the word
ing of the amendment would indicate
an effort to extend the terms of the
city officers until the next general
election for city officers. And he said
1t would have tnat effect were it not
for section 444, Of Bunns Annotated
. Constitution of the state, which Is in
> section 10, of the original pamphlet
constitution This section of the con-
! stitution positively forbids the Iegisla-
ture to extend the term Of Office OF
l any public Official beyond that period
for which he was elected or appoint.
ed. Therefore, Senator Taylor said.
the only effect this amendment to the
law could have, would be to relieve
Chickasha of the necessity of electing
lall her officers this spring The bill
having provided that all cities other
than those which were Of the frst
2 class on November 49, 1907. shall
hold elections this spring. With this
constitutional limitation, only those
/ officers whose terms expire this spring
II will need to be reelected The Others
r will hold until their terms expire
Ie Another bin that is Of vital impor-
,r tance to Chickasha is the paving bin

Of Senator Taylor is a member, have
been at work on the past week They
p hope to get this bill through the sen
IN ate within the next week Il is esti
