SUICIDE ON EVE
 OF HIS WEDDING

Shelton, Oct. 13.-It developed this morning that August B. WilliamHs of this place, who ended his life last night by shooting himself through the heart. on the eve of his wedding to Miss Genevieve Seeley, committed his rash deed on account of, fear that he was about to lose his reputation and good name. According to Medical Examin- CT Shelton, Williams summoned him to his room early yesterday morning and there told him he had by mistake drank laudanum from a bottle which he supposed contained cascaret. As the dose was not large enough to make Williams seriously ill, Shelton told him to keep the matter quiet and stay in bed during the day. Dr. Shelton says Williams was almost hysterfcal. apparently fearing that neighbors would hear of the mistake he had made and would think he had at tempted suicide.
 Last evening Williams went to the, new home he had prepared for his prospective bride whom he was to marry to-day. Shortly before o'clock neighbors heard a pistol shot. Going into the bedroom of the house they found Williams with bullet through his heart.

COY'S PUNTS
 60 70 YARDS
Yale's Regulars Have Not Been Scored on Even in Practice This
 Year.

That Yale will be the stronger in bunting this year than in many years was shown in practice yesterday when Captain Coy, in kicking after the scrimmage, made an average of over 50 yards on IS punts that he made, and in that, when he tried to put extra force into the ball, he twice sent it over 70 yards. He stood on the 50-yard line of che south end of the field and Iunted over the opposite north end goal line almost every time. Twice the ball went over the fence back of the north end goal line, which is fifteen yards back of the line making a total punt for him of 70 yards and some over. Not only were the punts long, but they were skyscrapers going high enough into the air to allow the speedy ends to get down the field under them
 Andrus, the giant tackle, went into the scrimmage, having had only one day to get ready for it. He did some good work, breaking through and blocking plays several times. He broke through at one time and blocked Iunt
 Assisting the coac ches were Hutch inson, quarterback on 'Tom" Shevln's s 1905 team, and Quill, substitute half back on the same team.
 A significant fact about the team this year that has not been generally realized is that the second team has not yet scored on the regulars at prac- tice. Yesterady the scrubs were given the ball in varsity territory three times, and each time failed to gain more than a few yards, the regulars fighting them back for a loss on the ten-yard line when the scrubs were given the ball there. Not only is Yale one of the few big elevens with a clean slate in championship games, but the team has kept the goal line unviolated from the best scrub teams that have been gathered this year. From the size, weight and speed of the varsity, it Noks as though che second team will not be able to score this year un- less there is a slump.
 The scr1mmage yesterday started with the ball in the possession of the regulars in the center of the field. Coy, playing just to do the kicking, sent punt over Johnson's head which Fitzpatrick recovered for the regulars on the scrubs ten-yard line Coy tried drop kick and missed, so the same play was tried with Daily booting the ball, but he missed, too. Howe made a pretty run back of a punt for the varsity. Coy again punted over John sons head, Fitzpatrick also again re- covering the ball on the ten-yard line. The second team made desperate at tempt to hold the regulars back, but Holt scored finally,
 A run back of a punt by Field into the second teams territory followed by a fifteen-yard gain on a forward pass, Howe to. Kilpatricks put the, first team into a position for score. But the college team surprised everyone by holding for down on their three-yard line. The varsity was given another chance, Holt scoring. Then the second team had it's chance, being given the ball first oh the Varsity forty-yard line, losing it on downs, then on the tf1irty-yard line, losing it. and then on the ten-yard line, losing it on the five. Fitzpatrick recovered an onside kick, and the scrimmage ended.
