I4th-AVE. WIDENING
SCHEME BLOCKED

Tourteenth-ave. residents, between
Bagg-st and Grand Riverave.. have
been asking for the widening of that
street. claiming that the double car
tracks make IL too narrow for con-
venience and safety.
They will not get the widening.
however Aid. Wing was ready TO be-
gin a movement TO that effect, be-
lieving that the d. Y. X. could be
made to stand part or all of the ex-
pense Of widening the pavement. An
opinion from Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hally states. however, that
the council widened the street 80 to
40 feet when the tracks were first
laid and that the company paid for
the extra ten feet OF paving II can
not be charged for another widening.
and the aldermen are not willing to
saddle the burden on the city alone.

OWEN SOUND. Ont, May 81
I've killed my wife and daughters and
I'm dying too"
Having crawled 10 a window OF his
home, his life fast ebbing from self
inflicted bullet-wound. James F.
Creighton made this startling an
nouncement 10 neighbors.
Creighton, however. was not so sue
cessful in his work OF butchery on
himself as he had been with his un-
fortunate family. He may live TO be
hanged
The dead:
MRS. JAMES F. CREIGHTON, AZ
years old
KATHERINE CHAPMAN. 16 years

CLAIRE CHAPMAN, Is years old.
Housed In this chamber OF death
from early morning until after sun
set, Creighton. partially crazed,
viewed in silence the destruction he
had wrought For the crime which
he disclosed at sunset was committed
about 8 O'Clock in the morning.
II lived unhappily." said Creigh-
ton. Il wanted 10 die, but | could not
kill myself without first having knowl-
edge that my family. too. was dead.
Other than those words, Creighton
has not spoken.
When the neighbors. summoned by
the self.confessed murderer, entered
his house they found the body OF Mrs.
Creighton, her throat cut, shoestring
tied tightly around her neck, knife
wounds on her breast and bullet hole
IN her head Near her form were the
bodies OF her children, both OF whom
had been shot and stabbed The vic
tins were clad in their nightrobes
and their blood had pooled and clotted
on the bedroom floor.
Murderer Seems Rational.
Creighton. when the officers arrived,
appeared rational He produced a
letter, addressed TO hisb rother, which
he had written shortly before he had
killed his family In it he told Of his
awful contemplations, and said he was
on the verge of insanity,
Creighton had shot himself above
the eye. The wound. surgeons said
early may not be fatal. although the
sight of one eye perhaps has been
destroyed. At midnight they declared
that creighton was SINKING anu e1'
pressed greater doubt OF his recovery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Creighton had been
married about Is months. They first
met at Yysilanti, Mich, where the
bride and her daughters had resided
for some time Creighton was the sec
ond husband of Mrs. Creighton, the

B. B. NOTES.

After returning from disastrous trip
to Oshkosh, Wausau has again struck
its gait. Erickson is back in the game
and from now on there will be nothing
to it. By winning two out OF three
games in Green Bay while Lacrosse
was losing to Madison, the Wausau
team cinched the pennant and nothing
can defeat us now in walking off with
the rag. There are but seven more
games to be played and all are sched-
uled for the home grounds. A series is
opened today with Oshkosh and follow
ing that series Green Bay comes here
and on one day a double header will be
played, the extra game being the one
in which Manager Ferguson and UNI
pire Bush clashed earlier Ia the season, ,
resulting in a breaking up of the game.
On next Sunday the playing season in
the Wisconsin, Illinois league will have
come to a close.
The season has not been a successful
one with most clubs, owing to the fact
that weather conditions were unfavor-
able in the early season and on holidays
when large crowds were expected at
games. Again it is said most clubs
have Overstepped the rules with refer
ence to the salary limit. The old buga-
boo of changing the circuit and throw
ing Wausau out is being talked about.
About the only reason, so far as we can
see for throwing Wausau out of the
league is that it is a good base ball
town.
Considering the fact that we have
been handicapped nearly all season by
having crippled men, our team did re-
markedly well and put Wausau on the
base ball map. Again the attendance
has been better here than in all other
towns except Rockford and Madison,
notwithstanding that Wausau is the
smallest town in the circuit.
In the remaining games the fight
will be between Madison, Lacrosse and
Green Bay for second place, with
chances favoring Lacrosse.
A dance will be given Friday eve
in Elks' hall as farewell for the boys.
The money derived from the sale of
tickets will be divided among the
players.

In addition to shortage in receipts
the fair management will be required
to pay out about the same amount of
premiums as last year, so that the
financial outlook is not very promising.
There never yet has been year when
the association was free from debt.
The lule of not allowing automobiles
near the track in the line of travel be-
tween main gate and grand stand was
violated this year. The autoists APP
pealed to the management to allow
them to cross the track, so they could
see the races, and the management
needed the quarter-stretch money.
