Twenty-four years is long time for

but that is the record of whaling bark

The vessel left New Bedford in 1884,

since has been engaged most of the
time in whaling in northern latitudes.

Bullet He Fired Into His Head in Mo-
ment of Alteration Ends Career OF One
OfCleanBasebalr Ardent Supporters.

New York, July 29.-Harry Clay Pui-
liam, president of the National League
of Baseball Clubs. died shortly before
8 o'clock this morning from the wound
of a bullet which he fired through MS
head with suicidal intent last night in
his room at the New York Athletic
Club. Broken in health from over
work in his long fight to maintain the
standard of clean baseball, Pullam IN
a moment of mental alteration, hl;
friends say, shot himself
Pulliam went to his room early last
night and lying on sofa fired pul-
let into his head. The ball entered the
right temple, fracturing the frontal
bone, tore out the right eye and pass
ed out at the left temple. He was
found near the telephone by club
servant who was sent to find out who
was trying telephone connection.
Il think he struggled on the floor for
two hours said DR.. T. Hamilton
Burch. land that he was so overcome
with the intense pain that he tried to
get to the telephone to send for me.
He probably got the receiver off the
hook and then lost his strength en-
tireIy"
Pulliam did not seem to compre-
bend the nature of his wound and could
give no reason for his act before he
1apsed into final unconsciousness.
His death marks the passing of one
of the most interesting figures of base
ball. Slight of figure and youthful in
appearance for one of his years Pull
liam was model of the latest sartorial
fashions. Imbued with the idea that
the complete success of baseball rest
ed on honesty and cleanness, he pur-
sued his ideas looking to the develop
ment of the game so perSiStently that
he brought often upon himself oppOsi-
ton from some of his associates. WOr-
ny over his troubles with the league
leaders brought on nervous break
down last winter and his temporary
retirement from baseball. He resumed
his active labor about a month ago.
Word was received today from G. A
Cain OF Knoxville, Tenn, brother-in-
law of Mr.. Pulliam. that he would be
here tomorrow. when the funeral ar.
rangements will be made. Mr.. Pulian
will probably be buried at his home il
Louisville.
John A. Heydler, secretary ant
treasurer of the National League o
Professional Baseball Clubs, will ar
rive in New York and assume charge OF
the business affairs of the league to-
morrow. A telegram, notifying Mr.
Heydler of the tragic death of Presi-
dent Pulliam was handed to him while
he was en- route from Alexandria Bay
to Montreal by boat today
Mr.. Heydler's first act after reaching
Montreal was to direct d telegram t.
New York friends saying that he would
start for New York Immediately.

Branch Young's Estate.

Branch Young of Mona, Juab county,
died on March II, 1906, leaving an
estate valued at from 500, 900 to $50, 600.
He made will giving his property as
he saw TT. There are ten heirs, seven
sons and three daughters.
When the will was brought out two
sons and one of the daughters were not
satisfied, and entered suit in the Dis
trict court to have the will set aside on
the grounds that their father was not
competent to make will. They lost
the suit, and they took it to the Su-
preme Court, and trial by jury was
ordered. The second trial resulted the
same as the first and the will was sus-
tanned
An appeal was taken and the case is
again pending in the Supreme Court of
the State. One of the contestants,
whose home is in Dakota sold his horse
and buggy, and after the sale he is re-
ported to have said: 81 am a-foot now,
and by they'll all be a-foot when |
get through with them.
There is no doubt but thousands of
dollars have been wasted by the heirs
over that estate.
