After Playing ErrorIess Ball In the
First Game Locals Toss Second
Away In First Innina. i.

The first inning tells the sad story
Of the second game of the series with
the Millions. last Sunday afternoon.
Three singles, four errors and q base
on balls all punched in that opening
spasm netted the visitors six runs,
and, altho they were practically help
less after that round, the locals were
unable to make up any lost ground.
After playing errorless ball on Sat-
urday, the Willmar infield went all to
pieces in the first inning Sunday, and
kicked about everything they had.
Roy Christian did the pitching for
Willmar, and, outside of being little
nervous at the start he pitched a
great game. With any kind of sup
port at all the Millions would have had
NO more than two runs, at the most in
the first inning, and, as they were un-
able to do anything afterwards it can
be seen that the result wculd have
been different. Herkins did the pitch.
ing for the Millions and considering
what he had he got away in good
shape. Not until the ninth inning
could Willmar do anything with him.
A base on balls to Sweeney started
things, then Bob fumbled Anderson's
grounder. Picha followed with roll.
er to Christy, and with an easy dou'
BILE play in sight if he had played for
second, he followed instructions and
threw to third, but too late to get
Sweeney. That filled the bases with
none out. Then Mann drove a liner
over Lamb which he nearly speared
and two men scored. Shimon follow
ed with a hit scoring two more. Gro
gan flew to McGrew, who made a per
feet peg to Nordstrom at the plate
but the latter missed the ball and
Shimon scored. Zenzius singled tc
left and scored when Dean threw thu
ball over Nordstrom's head. Peterson
and Herkins were doubled up by
Dean, Buck and Nordstrom.
Willmar scored in the ninth. Carl
son got a life and went to second OF
a passed ball. Bob famed and Nc
Grew beat out an infield hit sendinf
Archie to third. Both scored OF
Lambs triple to right field. Tn.

Takes Life Of Himself and Wife a
Minneapolis After Streak Of
Hard Luck.

Minneapolis After Streak Of
Hard Luck. .
The following account of fearful
tragedy at Minneapolis will be a
shock to the people who knew 1jr.
Teigen and wife while they lived on
the home which they built on Tie
south shore of George Lake few
years ago. We clip. this from the
Minneapolis Daily News:
Pressed for money, believing his
run of bad luck never was going to
end, DR.. Knute Teigen, GA 1914 Haw-
thorne ave., shot and killed his wife
and took his own life in his apart
ments Saturday night.
The physician first gave his wife
Amanda Teigen, an anaesthetic and
then shot her through the head as she
lay unconscious. He shot himself
with the same gun, the bullet enter
ing above the right ear.
The bodies were found by Mr.. and
Mrs. Bert Chreiman, 2840 Twenty
seventh ave. s. Mrs. Chreiman was
a niece of Mrs. Teigen.
Teigen was a we'll known physician
of South Minneapolis. He had a big
practice up to ten years ago. Then
he began writing books on monism
and Socialism. He gave all his time
to this.
A man whom Teigen believed his
friend induced him to invest some
100000, all his savings, in Montana
gold mines. The mines proved worth.
less.
Later Teigen fell and was injured
as he stepped from a street car. The
injury caused the formation of blot
clot on his brain, which left him par
TALLY paralyzed.
Teigen attempted to get a. settle
ment from the street car company but
failed, the company claiming that he
fell after he had left the car and that
it was in no way responsible.
Teigen began to brood over his bad
luck.
Several times, the broken physician
threatened to kill himself. Each time
his wife persuaded him to TRY again.
Saturday night, Teigen waited unit
all others living in the apartment
house had gone out. Then he planne:
carefully the death of his wife ant
himself tsssss; 1 4 5s e;s -
He and his wife sent joint letter
to the Chreimans, in which Mrs. Tel
gen said she believed in her HUSBAND
and said he never had been appreciat
ed, and that he and she would be "ont
in death as in life" Two other letter.
were written, one to a son of DR.
Teigen.
When the Chreimans, who were a

returned home, they found the specia

the physician and his wife wer
stretched out side by side on the bed
and on the face of each was a twiste'

from the revolver wounds.

the fact that conflicts in the hours set

Wants Cash For
Old County Bond

An old county bond, issued long be-
now is, and drawing 10 per cent inter-
est, has been presented to the county
treasurer for payment by G. w. Bull
of this city. Bull procured the bond
from relatives in the east where he
was recently. The relatives are heirs
of William Dishon. to whom the bond
was issued.
The bond is for $1,000 and the date
it bears is Jan. l5. 1859. and the inter-
est rate was 10 per cent. The bond
was signed by William c. Smith, coun-
~ judge. and was issued from the of
nee of county judge, Marshall county
according to the heading of the printed
form.
The bond was issued for period of
forty eight months. and attached to it
originally were four interest coupons
for 500 each One of these coupons is
missing from the bond.
County Treasurer Seth NJ. Cause has
started to search the county records
for some record of this bond. but up to
today he had not been able to find any
record of the bond itself or any record
of the payment of the coupon which is
missing. He has searched the old files
OF the treasurefs and Clerks offices
without success.
Figured at simple interest. al 10 per
cent. there is due on the bond $500 in
addition to the principal. However. the
county treasurer is not taking any
steps TO take up the bond and pay the
interest. and there is not much chance
of it being taken up unless the court
should so order.
1t is the opinion of the treasurer.
without knowing anything of the his
Tory of the bond eNcept what is shown
on its face. that as the bond was issued
for a specific period of time. that the
BOND has long since been out!awed. SUI
pervisor W. II. Jones recalls that when
he was member of the board, several
years ago. a similar bond was pre-
sented for payment and payment was
refused
