Lingar, who was In the box for the
cavalry, pitched grand ball. He kept
the Cclestials guessing right through
the game and was touched for only
three hits.
Asam, AN unknown from the Chinese
ranks, was Lingar's likely opponent,
and he held the cavalry down to one
run,
It was In the ninth that the home
team made its only run. through an
error by lcftheldcr.
Tie cavalry boys failed to connect
at Oh with Asam's shoots, Williams be-
ing the only member of the home team
to hit, getting hold of u ball In the
ninth and knocking 1t past third.
The visiting team made one run IN
! the third and another i'm the sixth. TIL,

City Chat
THE TOWN SLAVE.


He was going back to the soil this
spring
He had it all planned out:
He was going back where the brides
sing,
And peace reigns, past all doubt;
But the theatres were all ablaze.
So he fingered on few more days.
He was going back to the soil, sure
pop
He was tired of city life;
He said: Now watch your uncle drop
This round of toll and strife"
But the lights of town shone forth at
night,
So he just put off that country flight.
He had figured out that the farmer
wins
The greatest prize-good health;
THE town is naught but the haunt of
I'll turn my back on its wealth"
But he tarried to hear a diva sing,
Till twas far too late to go this spring.
Next year. no doubt, he'll make the
start
Unto the distant farm;
He'll resolutely close his heart
Against the city's charm;
But the city only roars: You shan't-
You shan't because, Yo slave, you
can't"

GooI1hs may z--COrOneF Elliott
and detectives are busy endeayortng
to unraxel the mystery surrounding
the death OF Mr.. and Mrs. Frank II.
Holman. whose bodies were found on
a bed IN one-room shack at the rear
Of SIC South Adams street. Despon-
dency, following two days spree on
drugs and liquor, is thought by the
police to. have led the couple TO form a
suicide pact The belief is that they
ended their lives by drinking poison.
]. B. MCGOWAN, an aged chair re-
pairer, occupant of the shack. who
slept in the room with the man and
his wife last night and who discovered
the dead bodies. is being held at po-
lice headquarters.
WGOwAN's STORY.
MCGOWAN told the police that Mr..
and Mrs. Hoffman had slept in his
room and that before going to bed
Hoffman had requested him to call
him at o'clock. Mr.. and Mrs. Hoff-
man, he said, occupied his bed, while
he slept on a. cot, drawn up beside the
bed.

this morning and awaken him." said
MCGOWAN. The mans forehead was
as cold as ice. / thought it was
strange he was so cold, so got up.
found him dead. Next | tried to
awaken the woman and l found she
too, was dead. I hurriedly dressed
and came here to the police station"
Officer Swarting was called and
sent 20 the house to verify the old
mans story. The policeman founI
he bodies lying in bed as described
by Hoffman Hoffman was lying on his
back, his head thrown back. a faint
smile on his face. There were no signs
of his having struggled or been in con-
vulsions.
DEAD SEVERAL HOURS.
The body of Mrs. Hoffman was he
side that of her husband, lying partly
on it's side. Her face was turned to-
ward her husband. The first thing the
officer saw was a small paper clutched
tightly in the hand of Hoffman. 1t
was such a paper as druggists wrap
powders in A thin dust of some
powder still chung to the wrapper.
This was carefully taken from the
hand of the man and turned over to
Coroner Elliott and may throw some
light on the kind of poison used by
the pair to eud their lives.
On a stand beside the bed was an
empty whisky bottle A glass stood
near partly filed with the liquor.
Empty beer bottles were strewn about
the room. The place was in a filthy
condition, with dirty bed clothes and
bedding thrown everywhere. Litter
and dirt filled the room. The clothing
worn by the man and woman was fiji
thy beyond description.
Both bodies were rigid when found
and it is the belief of Coroner Elliott
that the couple had been dead several
hours before discovered by MCGOWAN.
HAD THREATENED SUICIDE.
That Hoffman and his wife had
been in far better circumstances is in
dicated by papers and letters found
among their effects and a statement
made by T. L. Peers, a Union News
agent. who knew them before they
came 10 Peoria.
There is no doubt in my mind that
Hoffman committed suicide" said
