Clark shot them over for the winners,
and he had things under his control
throughout the contest, allowing the

the first game he has pitched for several

him good, as he had never before shown
to such advantage.
The race in this league has now mar

now it would not be too late for Park

lead with today's game. as the Park View

THREE NIGHT FIRES.
Anderson Commission Co.. Sustain
the Most Serious Loss.

Three fires between $50 last even
ing and 1890 this morning gave the
city fire companies a sleeplesS night.
Tho first fire at $50 caused a ST.
500 loss to the Anderson commission
company barns at 219 Harrison
street. The fire from unknown cause,
practically ruined the stables of this
company and consumed five tons OF
baled hay. The horses and wagons
were saved.
The second fire at 11:10 last night
burned the city dog pound at the foot
of Harrison street. The pound is a
small frame building and the loss was
trifling. The fire is supposed to have
been caused by sparks from a switch
engine on the Rock Island tracks
The third fire turned the family of
H. H. Nicer, 615 East Tenth avenue,
out Of their beds. They lived in the
rear Of the store in a small frame
building The fire started in an I'M

WHITE SHOWN UP
Ex-Convict Shown to Be Fraud
by Railroad Man.
Former Kansans Knowing Both
Men Identify Him.

st. Louis, Oct. 24.-The identity of
the Miles, Mich, Mystery" who has
posed as George A. kimmel, was re-
vealed here when two men who work
ed with him for years identified him
as A. H. White, alias Turkey White.
Bruce L. Cosner, a conductor on the
Frisco railroad. whose home is in
Enid, Okla, and John w Burt, an en-
gineer on the same road, and living in
the same city, are the men who de-
clare he is not George A. KimmeI.
Cosner knew White for ten years.
He and White were conductors on the
same road and were intimately ac-
quainted. Burt knew White more than
two years. He was engineer on the
train of which White was conductor.
Burt and Cosner declare there can be
no mistake in their identification.
1.-The mystery pursued the same
tactics that he has followed on all oc-
casions when he saw that his scheme
was failing. White saw Cosner and
Burt, but declined to talk to them. He
would not deny that he knew the men
nor that they knew him Neither
would he make any admissions.
He became angry and sullen, and
cried out that it was a conspiracy to
entrap him into making admissions.
Scarcely a dozen persons in Niles
today believe the strange tale told by
White, and with the positive identifi-
cation of the two men who knew him
so intimately it is believed that all will
desert him.
F'ox's Faith Waivers.
The fact that Fox wants to make a
public statement is believed by many
that he is at last convinced that he
has been hoaxed by a scheming trick
ster, who played on his credulity and
was taken into his home as a kinSrnan.
The Identification made by Cosner is
particularly striking. Conductor Cos
ner ran out of Arkansas City, Kan, in
1891 and 1897, and knew George A.
Kimmel we'll. He also knew White
well, and says there is absolutely no
similarity in their appearance
The Identification made by Cosner
and Burt will have an important bear
ing on the $4,000 suit pending for the
life insurance on Kimmel.

Cause of death is plain. All the de-
