second story window of the navy hos

considered by the hospital surgeons as
remarkable.
Lieut.. Reid sent his nurse from the
room to procure a glass of water. The
attendant had hardly left the ward be-
fore the officer barricaded the door
tightly. Selling heavy oak table he
rammed it against the window sash
tearing it from its fastening. Rad
took running Jump and dived headlong
from the window, striking upon his
head on the ground 80 feet below. The
officer was picked up in semi-conscious
condition and hurried to the operating
room. The attending surgeon discover
ed that aside from decorations of the
face and head the officer had suffered
a serious fracture Of the collar bone and
eoncussion of the brain.

timore and received his appointment in
the naval service from the state of
Maryland.
He has been on sick leave since 0c-
tober, 1907.

While Hogg was held close prisoner
by Sheriff G. A. Brasield, he had re-
Gently been accorded the liberty of a

mitted by the negro, and Hogg, beliey-
ing that he would be again thrown into

William Hepburn Taken to
City Hospital To-day
HAS BEEN BLEEDING MUCH
It Is Said That He Got Tnjuries in a
Fight Week Ago Saturday Night
Has Bled PrOfusely at Times
Since Then.

William Hepburn. . granite cutter
employed by Scott Brothers and room
ing In the Buzzell block on Pearl street,
was taken to the City hospital today in
a serious condition as the result of
hemorrhages caused by injuries which
he is supposed to have received at the
hands of an unknown man on the night
of February 27. The happening as re-
lated by man named Fenton who was
with him, was as follows: Hepburn was
somewhat under the influence of liquor
and Fenton was accompanying him to
his room. As they turned the corner
Of Pearl street they nearly ran into
two men who stood Just around the cor
ner. Some words passed between Hep
burn and one of the men who followed
them nearly TO the entrance OF the Bt1-
zell block endeavoring to get chance
TO strike Hepburn, but Fenton kept be-
tween his companion and the belligerant
stranger until they reached the block
when the man succeeded in striking him
in the face.
Hepburn had a profuse bleeding from
the nose during the night after reach
ing his room, but it was not thought
to be serious and the only mark that
was 10 be seen on his face was a slight
abrasion Of the skin on his nose. Again
on Tuesday night Hepburn had hem
orrhages from the nose and still an
other on Tuesday night. He became
alarmed and on Friday went to DR.. w.
d. Reid for treatment. The passages
of the nose were plugged but still the
bleeding continued and again Saturday
the man had a hemorrhage which so
weakened him that his life was in dan
ger.
Today his condition Is comfortable and
he may recover. DR.. Reid stated today
that in his opinion the man was knock
ed down and his head struck some hard
object causing fracture OF the base of
the skull.
The matter has been reported to the
police and they are investigating it, but
with little success so far as neither Hep
burn OF Fenton thinks that he would be
able TO identify the alleged assailant.
Another rumor in circulation is that
Hepburn went into dance hall where
he was not invited and that he was
forcibly elected and received his injuries
in that way.

GODDASD'S RECORD
FOR THE PAST SEASON
st. Johnsbury Academy, Which Defeated
the Seminary Team, Cancelled It's Re-
turn Game, That Was to Be
Played in Barre.

Leaving out Of consideration the Brad.
ford academy game at Bradford, which
is disputed, the Goddard seminary bas-
ket ball team, which Saturday night
closed it's schedule, won twelve games out
Of fourteen. The vulcans of this city
turned the trick early in the season by
one point, and st. Johnsbury academy
took a game at Sc. Johnsbury, after
which the academy team cancelled its
game with Goddard in Barre, thus refus-
ing 10 give Goddard chance to get back.
Goddard got back at the Vulcans with
two victories. Barre's other fast prep
school, Spaulding high, eyened up with
St. Johnsbury on the local floor, and it is
probable that Goddard also would have
made the "Iily.white" bunch trot II they
had played in Barre.
The game with Bradford academy is
claimed by Goddard by the score Of ~
TO 43, while Bradford claimed 1t by an
even closer score. Bradford was com
pletely swamped when the return game
was played IN this city, showing that
Goddard was really the superior team.
Goddard has not played many school
teams, not so many as Spaulding high.
The results Of the games are as follows:

dents IL, Goddard 46; Italian A. G. 81,

THE ROOSEVELT SUNDAY.
Ex-President Attended Church With His
Wife Yesterday.

Oyster Bay, N. Y, March S--Further
evidence that former President Roose-
velt is leading the simple life in every
respect was furnished yesterday when
Mr.. Roosevelt and his wife trudged
through the slush and snow on foot to
church. They left Sycamore Hill, three
miles from the village at 10;30 a. m,
the former president dressed in a gray
sack suit and heavy russet shoes, the
soles and heels Of which were covered
with hob nails. 1t was with his usual
rapid stride that Col. Roosevelt swung
down along and Mrs. Roosevelt had diff
ficulty in keeping pace with him. Both
were in their pew at Christ Episcopal
church ten minutes before the hour
scheduled for the services.
On the way from their home they met
end chatted with many of their neigh
bors. Miss Ethel and Kermit Roosevelt
rode to church. All occupied the usual
family pew. Although Mr.. Roosevent
, is not member Of the Episcopal church
hut of the Dutch Reformed church he
partook Of the sacrament of the Lords
supper with Mrs. Roosevelt and their
two children.
In special prayer said during the
regular recital Of the morning service,
the rector offered thanks for the safe
return to his home of the former execu-
tive of the nation and for the wisdom
with which the last official administra-
tion had been conducted. Reference
was made in the sermon. which was ON
the subject of parental intercession for
children, to the recommendation which
Mr.. Roosevelt had made to Congress
IN behalf of dependant children.
The Roosevelt family left the church
before the services were quite over and
in that way the former president es
capped receiving the greetings of those
present. He and Mrs Roosevelt start
ed out at brisk gait for the return
walk Of three miles to Sycamore Hill.
During the entire afternoon Mr..
Roosevelt remained in his library read
ing. BE is thoroughly enjoying the
much needed rest. No visitors have
been received at Sycamore Hill. Mr..
Roosevelt is spending his mornings in
doors and afternoons out Of doors. He
insists upon having a certain amount

MURDERED MANS
BODY UNCOVERED
He Is Supposed to Have Been Walter
F. Sehultz--Body Found at Alex
andria, Va, Near Washington.

Washington, d. O., March s.-The
| body of a wdll dressed man partially
covered with snow and a ragged wound
10 the neck was yesterday found near
Alexandria. Virginia, short distance
from Washington. In the pockets Of
the clothing were a travellers check for
$500 issued by the Wells Fargo Express
company at Los Angeles, Cal, payable
to Walter y, Schultz, a card bearing the
same name but with an address Of 1914
Douglas street. Sioux City, Iowa, and
another card which bears the name Of
Mrs. Alma Hume Gillette.
Tha police regard the case as one of
cold boodcd. murder and as one Of the
most mystifying crimes ever committed
in this section. A motive for the MUIR
der is lacking, and the identity Of the
man supposed TO be Schultz Is by no
means complete. Cards and other pa
pers in the victims clothes are believed
To have been placed there by his slayer.
The theory that the man committed
suicide is not credited because Of the
peculiar character Of the wound and
the fact that no weapon of any sort
was found near his body. The police al
50 assert that IL is improbable that
robbery was the motive as S2s in cash
and gold watch were found In the
pockets of the victim
After working all day upon all sorts
Of clues, the Alexandria police are still
in doubt as TO the mans identity and
the manner in which he met his death.
One theory is that the murdered man
was an Inauguration visitor who was
lured away from the city, murdered and
his body thrown into field where II
was found, about 400 yards from the
Alexandria station.
The authorities believe they will es-
tablish the identity of the victim from
a letter without an envelope evidently
belonging to the dead man. II was dat
ed "Sioux City, Iowa, December 30" and
signed "Your Sister, Ellen Dorothy"
Tho dead man was apparently 35
years old and his appearance was that
OF a prosperous business man.
