NATURAL GAS WHAT
THIS CITY NEEDS
Says Kennepohl - Regards
the Artificial Gas Rates
Here as Unfair.

No further report has been made to
the city officials concerning the propo-
sition to bring natural gas to the city.
Local capital is backing the enter
prise it was announced today by
President Kennepohl of the board Of
works
According to the president of the
board the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany is holding up the consumers for
artificial gas and If the natural gas
can be brought here the price of arti.
fetal gas will have to come down or
the plant will have to close. Mr.. Ken
nepohl announced that he had inter-
viewed some people who are interested
In the matter and they told him the 10
cal company is treating the people un-
fairly when they charge $1.10 per thou
sand feet. Forty cents would be a fair
price. Kennepohi said, and the COM
pany could make money at that rate.
"If they would be willing to furnish
the gas at $50 or even $50 per thou
sand, the city officials would not be so
anxious to have the natural gas
brought here as it will necessitate the
tearing up OF the streets to lay mains
said Kennepohl. THE natural gas
which we are planning to have brought
here is of excellent quality and the
company will be a strong competitor
to the Light, Heat and Power COM
pany"

HICKEY TELLS HIS
DREADFUL HISTORY
Stays a Man and Two Boys
and Tried to Murder a
Number of Others.
(National News Association)


BUFFALO, N. Y, Nov. 30.-J
Frank Hickey, self confessed murder.
er of one man and two boys today told
the story of his life, dating from the
time he was seventeen years old up
to the time of his arrest for the mur-
der of Joseph Josephs, II years old

He said his criminal career began
with the killing of a man named Ed.
ward Morey in Lowell, Mass, when he
was a clerk in drug store. Hickey
placed laudanum in a drink of whis.
key for the man. Five years later In
Boston he tried to kill two boys and
himself by tearing out gas fixtures al.
lowing gas to fill the room The po.
lice rescued the three and Hickey was
arrested but not prosecuted. Another
attempt was made in Lawrence, Mass.
to kill boy by strangiing him beside
railway train in full view of several
employees. In 1902 Hickey strangled to
death a little newsboy named Michael
Kruck in New York City.
During the interim he attempted to
strangle at least a dozen other boys
whose names he does not know He
said today these boys were saved only
by the grace of God.

TRYING MOMENT IN NINTH

Joe Wood for a time was a trine
nervous" said President McAleer of the
Red Sox on the way to the train for
Boston after the game. "and then
again he became too confident. But he
steadied down and showed the real true
gait when he struck out Fletcher and
Crandall In the ninth inning. leaving
two Giants on bases"
There Is much truth in McAleer's
review OF the work Of Bostons great
pitcher The roofing OF the crowd. the
responsibility placed upon his shoul-
ders. the world of gossip anent the
big series which has been going on for
several weeks all combined to make the
smokeball artist a bit unnerved. This
was apparent when Snodgrass made
the first hit In the opening inning.
Wood had easily disposed of Devore
and Doyle. and with two balls called
on Snodgrass he cut the plato with
fast one. Snodgrass. who was fooled
with curved balls later. cracked the
leather to centre field. the ball taking
a quick bound over Woods head. Then
Wood temporarily lost control Of his
curve ball and walked Murray. But no
felt considerably better when Merkle

Chief Meyers. 1t was a peach. right
over the dish. and the big catcher. with
sweep oe his warclub. hclted the
leather to the wall in front of the right
field grandstand with rcsounding
whack. Merkle dashed home on this
hit. putting the Giants one behind. Her
zog sprinted around to third and Mcy-
ers Numbered To second on the throw in.
Here was a desperate situation which
Smoky Joe had TO face. All around him
he saw men throwing hats. canes and
seat cushions into the air or onto the
field. In his ears were the wild shouts
of $4,000 frcnzied rootcrs. The Boston
shouters were engulfed in this volcanic
eruption.
McGraw. ablaze with excitement and
realizing that victory was almost within
his grasp, took Fletcher to one side and
filled him with encouraging advice. An
over the grandstand came cries that in
dicated renewed hope and confidence in
the Giants ability to turn defeat into
glorious triumph
p IA base hit will do It," was the cry
heard necessarily "Oh, for a passed
ball. or a wild pitch. or a long sacrifice
NY that will let Herzog come in and tie
the score"
Standing erect in the box with laws
set and ashen face Joe Wood realized lie
was the man of the hour. 1t was up 20
MIN To baffie the Giants in their des-
perate ninth inning rally. Jake Stahl
ana wagner and Cady shouted words
OF encouragement to him, but he needed
them not. He looked Fletcher sauarely
IN the face. He rubbed the ball tenderly
IN his glove, hitched up his trousers,
wiped his nose with his right hand and
glanced neither to the right nor to the
left. Fletcher was his mark and as the
smokeball champion wound up he
seemed the very picture of confidence
and iron nerve.
with tremendous speed he shot the
frst ball over the plate and Fletcher
swung at 1t. 1t was a foul and n
strike and groan came from thou
sands of throats Again Wood without
moments hesitation curved the
leather squarcly at Fletchcr's head. only
to have II shoot downward waist hiyh
into Cady's mitt. Umpire Klein threw
up his arm and droned the painful
words
"S-t-r-i-k-e t-w-o."
Everybody was yelling now. The
rattles and horns and bells were making
additional tumult. For the third time
he blazed the ball over the plate so
swiftly that the Giant shortstop could
not see it, Up went Umpire Klem's
right arm as he grunted:
strike three. You're out"
AS II suddenly struck dumb the null
titude ceased yelling. The retirement
OF Fletcher was a heartbreaker and n
body blow. Yet there was hope left as
