shot himself through the head last
night in his rooms at the New York
Athletic club, where he makes his resi-
dence, and was in a dying condition at
an early hour this morning. The bull
let entered at the right temple ard
passed out at the left, destroying boil.

Mr.. Pulliams room was on the third
floor and he retired early in the even
ing. 1t was about $50 o'clock when
a telephone call came from his room
to the switchboard downstairs. but when
it was answered there was no further
response Repeated ringings disclosed
the fact that the receiver must have
been taken from the hook
Therupon Thomas Brady, an attend
ant in the club, was sent up to the
room. The door was unlocked and he
found Mr.. Pulliam, clad only in his un-
derwear, lying on the floor with a
large revolver clasped in his hand On
ly one cartridge had been discharged.
A glance was enough to tell Brady
that the wel-known baseball man was
in serious condition. and he lost no
time in summoning DR.. Higgins, the
club physician, who attended the
wounded man. In the meantime word
was sent to the East F'ifty-f1rst street
station and Policeman Tobin was sent
to the clubhouse to make an investiga-
ton.
Pulliam broke down in health last
winter and, according to his friends
was partially unbalanced In mind when
he attended the league meeting here.
At that time he made a speech which
aroused considerable comment He
made reference to thief act that GER
tain parties were trying to GUST him
from the game, and stated that the
league was trying to return to what
he called gum shoe" tactics.
Shortly after that he was given an
indefinite leave of absence until he re-
covered his health, by the league direct
ors. He went south in search of rest.

of his eyes. Later he went to a farm
in Wisconsin and returned to Chicago
a month or SO ago, seemingly recovered
in health But 1t was apparent that
his spirits were low
He took a whirl over the league cir
cult, visiting the various clubs. On
leaving Chicago for Pittsburg he re-
turned in few days to attend the flag
raising exercises. That was the last
time he has been in Chicago.

TOT RANCH AT NEWPORT
Amusement Adjunct of Famous
 Ranch Coming to Newport

Announcement is made sof. the appearance in Newport on Friday, October 10th, of the 10t Ranch Real Wild West Show, the big amusement adjunct of the famous l0l Ranch of Bliss, Oklanoma.
 Every member of the big travel ing tented amusement organization IS resident of the 100, GOO acres of prairie Miller Bros. own and operate. Their associate is Ed ward Arlington, long a we'll known and distinguished figure in the circus world.
 The Millers are, undoubtedly, the most famous cattlemen of the great Southwest. There are three of them, and they started with a homestead allotment of 160 acres when the Cherokee strip was op- ened to settlement. Joe Miller made the run and planted his flag of ownership on the banks of the Salt Fork, a slender tributary 0 f the Arkansas river. Today the Miller holdings include three towns and parts of three counties, and some European prlncipalltles would be lost in the vast 101 Ranch area Cattle and horses roam the fertile acres in thousands, and the Millers buy and sell by the train load. The small farmer may till his quarter section in Oklahoma, but the 101 Ranch remains unen- croaehed upon. Here remain the wild buffalo, the cowboy and the cowgirl in their pristine glory, and here the Indian still smokes, un- disturbed, in tepee, hut or possi- bly, rough lodge of skins.
 The show is an ampIifed version of the one which broke all records in patronage and popularity last year. Joseph C. Miller, senior of the three brothers, is in personal charge. He promises that patrons will witness a tournament that de- parts absolutely from the familiar tedious routine of the so.called Wild Vest exhibitions.

 Elder Thompson, the Presby- terian pastor at Hopewell, near Cord, announces that he'll preach a series of sermons on the doctor inc of the Presbyterians. 1 hope to hear them. 1 think it is what should be done, for if a man be- lieyes thing he should be willing to give his reasons.
 It was my pleasure to stop at Newport on my return from Au- vergne, and hear Brother H. F. Vermillian preach a fine sermon at the Baptist church. He is there in a meeting and expects to be there about two weeks. He has moved back from New Mexico and located at Eureka Springs, and is now in the evangelistic work. He is we'll known here as he made the race for representative in this county several years ago, and was defeated only by small ma jority.
