F Hodges, and Prosecuting Attornov Hoy D. Campbell in ferretino Ont tbo Identity Of the assassin, but the wifi nesses were unable to cast any Heht upon the matter and a verdict wac rendered in which the iurv n,ero> lound Mrs. Diehl had come to her oeath from gunshot wounds, the gun oelng fired by someone unknown to the jury.

 lnquest' Behind Closed Doors.
 me lnuqest was held behind closed doors, The jury assembled at the Dlehl home at 10 o'clock Wednesday morning. The remains of Mrs. Diehl lay in the parlor of the home and over it the oath was administered to the Jurymen. The jury then withdrew to the adjoining room, where the in- quest was held, only two witnesses being examined, Drs. Mason and snodgrass, both of whom had ,profes- sionally waited upon those who were shot Monday night.
 Dr. Hodges, asked the coroner's jury if the press should be permit ted to hear the evidence Hugo Heiman, speaking for the jury, stat ed the investigation should be pri- , vate and the doors were closed. Statement by Foreman.
 After the verdict had been render ed George Thornburgh, who had been delegated to make a statement to the press, said:
 "The only witnesses before us were the surgeon at the Confederate Home. and these were Dr. Mason, surgeon at the Confederate Home, and Dr. Snodgrass, of Little Rock. Dr. Ma son told us of Mrs. Diehl being brought to the home. He stated that he immediately saw the wound was desperate one and hastened to get his medicines and cottton to stanch the flow of blood He work ed at this for some time, knowing it meant the life of the woman to stop the flow of blood. Dr. Mason said he was too busy at the start and too ex- cited to pay any attention to who brought Mrs. Diehl to the home, but when he was finishing the dressing he remembers seeing Mr. Diehl in the room.
 Dr. Snodgrass testified to being called out on the Sweet Home Pike to dress the wounds of Miss Meyers and MT. Gossell, and of his finding the body of Hatton, the negro who was killed by the mysterious assas- sin. His evidence could throw no light on the Diehl mystery.
 Prosecuting Attorney Campbell and Coroner Hodges were with us all through the/session and conducted the examination. We could secure no further direct testimony upon the

A special Paris dispatch says the follow
ing about the Papke-Lewis fight of last
Saturday: Billy Papke, the Illinois thun-
derbolt" knocked out Willie Lewis in the
third round of their championship fight at
the Cirque de Paris tonight. It was
Papke's battle all the way.
The short battle was one of the fiereest
ever fought in Paris, and the two men
evinced the bitterness of the feud be-
tween them from the start. Both men
refused to shake hands. Lewis was an
cry; Papke cool and smiling.
At the very opening Of the first round,
Papke smashed a left hook to the jaw,
and floored Lewis for eight seconds.
Lewis came back gameiy. The second
round was bitter, both men assimiiating
punishment freely. Papke came up strong
and sent perfect shower of rights and
lefts to the face, scoring clean knock
out
When Lewis recovered. Papke offered
to shake hands, but Lewis refused. The
latter insisted that he was fouled by
Papke.
After the fight Harry Lewis challenged
Papke, providing Papke could make his
weight. Papke refused to accept the chal-
lenge, saying he could not reduce him
self and be strong. He says he will get
out of the fighting game as there are no
more men in his class.

and say that there is no chance. Pete
is too clover. they say. Some are going
a little further, and are sure that after
Dawson has fought himself out for a
half dozen rounds, Pete will step in with
some of the big punch work himself

At an enthusiastic baseball meeting
held at the L. ID. S. L. Tuesday afternoon,
Herbert Snow was chosen captain of the
baseball team The selection of Snow
was unanimous, there being no opposition,
although Cannon Lund. another veteran
of the squad, was supposed to be dark
horse in the race for the position. More
than 300 students were present at the
meeting, which was an enthusiastic af-
fair. For the position of manager, Jesse
Sharp, who successfully piloted the bas-
ketbail team, was elected with no Oppo-
sitiOn.
From indications this years baseball
team will be about one of the strongest
ever turned out at the L. d. S. In New

sition of pitcher has been filled to a GER
tainty. The work of Newman thus far
has been high class, and ne is looked upon
as one of the mainstays of the team.
