Eight young men who formed an
automobile party on the night OF the
crime, told the police today that they

stranded, at the exact spot where the
pools Of blood later gave evidence OF
the murder. They told the police that
a man and woman we're standing be-

attempting TO repair It. They fred

given by Beattie as the time for the
murder.

theory that Mrs. Beattie reproached

MAN LOSES life
WHEN HOUSE BURNS
Harry Clark Reaches Second-Story
Window, But Is Overcome by
Smoke and Perishes.

Harry Clark, one-armed man, whose
home is In Alpena, was burned Il
death, and Mrs. Clara Shaw was In
jured in FIRE, which gutted the room
ing house, conducted by Mrs. May
Cooper. at No. 1874 Congress-st. east
Wednesday morning about 1:30,
Eight or nine other roomers were
forced to fee from the house in their
night clothes. The loss to the own
er of the house is about $1,000. Prac-
ticaily all the househo.d furnishings
we're destroyed.
Clark was last seen alive at win
dow in the second story OF the house,
apparently attempting to get out of
the window. The smoke was very
dense and he had some difficulty in
opening the window with his one
hand. Suddenly, overcome evidently
by the thick smoke, he fell back In
TO the room and when reached by
the flremen was dead. He has two
sisters, II Is said, in Detroit, but they
have not been located.
Mrs. Clara Shaw was injured when
she jumped from the second story
OF the burning building. She says that
in trying to make HIS escape her
husband fell through the window and
that she thought she might as we'll
follow him. The man was more for
tunate than his wife, as he escaped
injury. Mrs. Shaw was taken to ST..
Mary's hospital Several of her ribs
were broken and she was otherwise
internally Injured. She Is resting
comfortably.
The fire originated In the lower
story In the apartments OF the land.
lady, Mrs Cooper. who had gone to
Port Huron on business, Tuesday
morning, locking her rooms. Two
couples in addition TO Mrs Cooper,
occupied the first floor and there
we're several roomers ON the upper
story. The fire spread rapidly and
before the occupants were aware that
they were in danger the whole house
seemed to be burning.
Passers-by pounded on the front
door but no one heard them for some
time. Mrs. Acma Wilkes, who lives
next door to the burned house, sent
In the alarm. The fire had gained
such headway, however, that the de-
partment was unable to check It until
1t had practically ruined the house.
Two young men, William Proshau-
er and Frank Hoffman, considered
themselves lucky, Wednesday morning
when they learned Of the fire, for they
had called at the Cooper house early
Tuesday morning and applied for
rooms. They were told to come back
later in the day but they found rooms
at No. 800 Congress-st. east, few
blocks away.
Mrs. Ida Gordon, who occupied tho
back rooms OF the lower story Of the
house, was fortunate enough to es-
cape loss. Hers were the only apart
ments to escape the flames. She said
that the first she knew of the fire
was when the smoke began pouring
into her rooms.
Mrs. Cooper, who is dressmaker,
suffered heavy loss, I'm that a large

The 16 best golfers In the middle
west contended Wednesday for the
right to continue to play. for the
George r. Thorne trophy. the en-
blem Of the championship of the west
at the tournament of the Western Golf
association, now being played on at
the Detroit Golf club.
The day was not one of surprises at
all, the scores coming In about as the
dopesters had figured them out before
the play began. At the eighteenth
hole. two Detroit men, Carhartt and
Schlotman were behind their oppon-
ents, and the other Detroit man In the
competition. Standish, was one up on
his man, Bole.
The biggest. sensation OF the day
came when Mason Phelps, of Chica-
go, the present western champion, put
Chick" Evans. OF Chicago, champion
or France, out of the running by the
narrow margin OF one stroke. Twice
Evans had a chance to take q hole
from Phelps, but failed to make good.
Phelps excelled In driving, which
has proved his strong forte. His put
ting was mediocre at times, and he
lost several holes through faulty work
on the green. Evans driving was not
up to standard, but his work in bad
lies was marvellous. Evans friends
claim that he is tired out from his
long trip from France and the many
successive games that he has played.
1t Is considered unfortunate that
Phelps and Evans were paired so early
In the competition. However, with
such players as Paul Hunter, Mason
Phelps, r. A. Gardner and Albert
Seckel, all OF Chicago, j. B. Schlot-
man and j. ID. Standish, of Detroit,
and K. M. Byers, of Pittsburg, in We'd
nesday's play there Is no lack of good
golf.
Chicago men look best to enter the
semi-fnals, with the Detroit men Tight
Ing for place. Schlotman, Standish
and Carhartt entered Wednesdays
contests.
Tuesdays results were disappoint-
ment to Detroiters. Two OF the best
local men, Schlotman and Mcmillan,
were pitted against each other. Schlot-
man WOhs AAOluOh NAloOnp VI .SluCAh-
natl. defeated III. b. Lee, 4 and 3. Ma
tional Champion Fownes, OF Pittsburg,
won from G. r. Denman. Hepburn
beat Guy Miller.
The results Of Tuesday afternoons
play were:
Hunter beat Diddle, 2 to 1.
