The mystery at first thought to have
surrounded the sudden death of Victor
Hoeninghaus, a Watts rancher, Mon
day night. was cleared up yesterday
when the coroner's jury, holding an
inquest, decided that death was due
to natural causes. The verdict was
to the effect that the rancher died
from a tumor of the stomach.
Following the mans death 1t was
reported that Hoeninghaus might have
come to his end as the result or being
kicked. His wife is in the insane ward
of the county hospital where she was
taken Immediately after Hoeninghaus
died.
The coroner's jury was materially
helped in reaching its verdict by a re-
port made by Deputy Sheriff Harry
Wright, who investigated the circum-
stances attending the death. Wright
was convinced that the rancher had
not met with violence.

Fine Young Rules for Arbitrator
Are Adopted in the National
League.

CHICAGO. Dec. 19.-Every umpire
In the National league is expected TO
at once purchase one perfectly good
halo, as result of some Of the rules
laid down by the recent meeting of
the league magnates made public by
p ,sident Murphy Of the Cubs here
today
According 10 Murphy. protests from
five teams in the league will result in
the dismissal OF an umpire hereafter.
The arbitrator must never be caught
endeavoring to drown his sorrows and
whenever a water wagon Is handy Is
expected 10 climb aboard. The pur
chase of anything stronger than lem
onade on the ball grounds will cost
an umpire his job. lie must have his
eyes examined by competent ocul'
list, and being caught asleep at the
switch when a close play is pulled off
will ring disastrous results.
Lastly the umpire must be willing
TO take a certain amount OF "Jawing"
from players and must not seek the
spotlight. That is reserved for the
players. according 10 Murphy.
