MAY ELIMINATE COACHES.

sourcefuIncss.

New York, Dec. 6.-The agitation To-
eliminate the professional baseball
coach during the play ing of intervar-
sity games is at present the subject of
and discussion among
Il number of eastern colleges 1t is the
contention that the mines should play
their game without the field assistance
and advice of the professional coach,
IL it is to he n purely amateur contest
The Harvard Alumni Bulletin" cX-
presses the following editorial opinion
ON the subject
The object of these athletic teach.
crs is To prepare the men for their
final tests, just as instructors in either
departments prepare the men for tn"
final examinations. Only in athletics
however does the teacher lend hand
in the final examination. The single
sport in which he does not is rowing.
Would it not he advisable To adopt in
all the branches of sport some meas
urc which would leave the men To
themselves i'm the final test" In this
way leadership for the captain and
responsibility for all the players would
he more fully developed. Also the re-
suits of the contests would depend
more upon the intelligence of the COM
pctitors and less upon the olcvcrncss Of
the coach"

breakfast an Indian came in. A
place was prepared for him and in
an apparently friendly manner he
partook of the hospitality of the
family.
He was soon followed by others,
until -pa-du-tah with fourteen
warriors, their squaws and papooses
had entered the house. They appear
ed friendly, and the scanty store of
the household was freely divided
among them. Then they became
sullen and insolent, demanding am
munition, etc. MI. Gardiner was
giving one of them a few gun caps,
when he snatched the box. Another
tried to get the powder horn which
hung against the wall but was pre-
vented by Mr.. Luce, who seized a
gun and pointed it at the Indian S
head
The Indians continued to prowl
around the premises for some time,
and Mr.. Gardiner, fearing trouble,
put off his trip. DR.. Harriott and
Mr. Snyder came while the Indians
We're still there. Mr.. Gardiner
thou ght there was trouble ahead and
believed that the neighbors should
be warned, and that all should get
together for defense but Harriott
and Snyder thought it was only
pet of the Indians and that no dan
ger need be apprehended, and after
doing some trading with the In
dams, they left. When the Indians
left they drove Mr.. Gardeners cattle
before them and shot some of them.
After that Mr.. Luce and Mr.. Clark
went out to notify the settlers, and
Mr. Gardiner was in favor of barri
cading the house and fighting it out,
but his wife thought it better to
treat the Indians kindly, and pre-
vailed upon him to adopt this plan.
Clark and Luce did not return and
about o'clock firing was heard,
and just as the sun was setting, Mr..
Gardiner went out and saw the en-
envy coming. He told his wife and
both went out to meet and pacify
them. They demanded more flour
and when Mr.. Gardiner turned to
get it for them, they shot him
through the heart. One of the wom-
en- seized the gun when the Indians
began beating Mrs. Gardiner and
Mrs. Luce over the heads with their
guns, dragged them both out Of the
house and killed them. They took
the little children and dragged them
out into the back yard and beat
their brains out with sticks of wood,
but took Abbie a prisoner. They
broke the furniture, scattered the
contents of the feather beds about
the yard and dragging Abbie after
them left behind the bodies of their
six victims, some of whom were not
yet dead, as their groans We're still
to be heard.
