IN GRIP OF PNEUMONIA, N. Y. BASEBALL
MAGNATE MAY BE FIGHTING LAST FIGHT

New York, Nov. John T. Brush
owner of the New York Giants and
the most widely known capitalist asso
ciated with the National League, lies
dangerously i'll at the Hotel Imperial.
He may never rise from the bed to
which he has been confined since early
in October.
On October Brush attended the
opening game between Boston and
New York. Whether he then caught
a cold that developed into ordinary
pneumonia or whether embolic or
hypostatic pneumonia developed from
bone fractures he suffered the month
before in an auto accident, has not
been disclosed. Certain it is that he
is now under the care of a famous
specialist and other leading physicians.
No one is permitted to see Brush
and little can be learned as to the
progress of his illness. Since his re-
turn to his suite from the Polo
grounds just after the first worlds
series game he has seen no one except
his physicians, close relatives and
Harry NJ. Stevens, who has the re-
freshment privileges in the Polo
the clubs owner
An interesting feature of the situa-
ton, in view of Stevens genuine con-
Germ for the magnate's welfare is that
he is regarded as the practically sure
successor of Brush in the ownership
of the club. Stevens is a man of large
capital and can command much more
than he now possesses.

ROMANCE IN JAIL
in Prison Evidently
Arranged by Cupid.
Woman, Freed, Gets License
and WEEDS Man.

Wichita, Kan. Nov. 2.-The culmi-
nation of a Jail romance in appropriate
style was the wedding of Carl M. Ell
lott and Ella NJ. Stringer in probate
court. The groom has for the past
several years spent a great deal more
time in the county Jail than out of it.
He is at present boarding there at the
expense of the county to answer to
charge of stealing a diamond ring.
1t was during one of these frequent
incarcerations that Mr.. Elliott met his
bride. She is known in Wichita under
the name Of Marie Williams, and when
Elliott met her was held in custody
under state warrant Later she was
released and the case not brought on
for trial.
The course of true love did not run
smooth in this instance. Mr.. Elliott
was out of Jail once, then returned on
the charge he now faces. He was re-
leased on a bond furnished by p. V.
trouble with the police and was lodged
in the city jail Mr.. Healy withdrew
from the bond.
While enjoying this last breathing
spell of freedom Mr.. Elliott met an
other. 1t was last Tuesday that the
bridge and bridegroom IS of yesterday
made up and decided to wed.
The bride and her party reached the
court house in a heavy rain. They rode
in cab. The prospective bride pur-
chased the license and then went to the
Jail to get the groom. Presently they
returned to the probate court and the
ceremony was performed by Acting
Judge o. D. Kirk. The party then
went to the Jail where the bride and
groom parted for an indefinite period.
the groom to return to his cell and the
bride to go back to her down town
home.
This is the second jail wedding in
Wichita within a week. Louis Cham
bers, the other jail bridegroom, was
from custody on bond. There
is no prospect of Elliott gaining his
release soon.

CITY PLANT SCENE OF ATTACK.
Guards Fight Off Men Who Attacked
Engineer, When They Return.

Yates Center. Kan, Nov. 2-The
men who seized. bound and gagged
James O'DonneH, engineer of the cleo
trio light plant, Monday night, and
turned off the city lights with the evil
dent intention of footing the town, re-
turned last night and attempted to
seize the engineer. The men were
driven away by guards, and blood
hounds were used to trail them. The
trail led to the railway yards, but end
ed there.
The attacks on the light plant have
become a town mystery. There could
be no motive save robbery. The resi-
dents say there is no trouble of any
kind over the light or involving the
city.
