% YEAR SENTENCE
GIVEN AGED MAN

Ellendale, N. D., Oct. 19.-J.
Schon, who murdered his wife July
II, at their home two miles east Of
Ellendale, NJ. D.. was found guilty
Of manslaughter In the first degree
and given sentence Of ten years at
hard labor in the i.Orth Dakota
state penitentiary at Bismarck,
In fit of Insane rage as the re-
suit of a quarrel. J. Schon attacked
and killed his wife, Katrina, and
then set fire to the house. He then
left the farmyard and repaired to
a nearby field where he had been
working, but as soon as the fire had
gained Roadway he returned and,
after hours of hard labor, exiting
uished the blaze. He then immed-
lately summoned a doctor and told
him that an explosion had occurred
and his wife had been burned to
death.
The body of Katrina Schon had
been so badly burned and disfigur-
ed in the fire that the physician
was unable to detect any other
wounds and as result Schon's
story was accepted.
Three days after the murder
neighbors reported to Ellendale au-
thorities that Schon was acting
queerly and that it was their be-
lief the man was insane. The sher>
iff at once went out to get Schon
but when he arrived Schon tried to
commit suicide by cutting his own
throat. Thwarted in this attempt
he jumped in a lake near the hous :
but was pulled out by the sheriff
and taken to the county Jail. He
was given a hearing for insanity,
released and Immediately rearrest-
ed on the charge Of murder.
Since that time Schon has been
held in the county Jail at Ellendale
pending his trial which was opened
last Friday. In the trial plaintiff
tried to show that the deed was
committed In self defense and that
death was the result of an accident.
Schon claimed that his wife at
talked him and that when he push
ed her away she fill and, having a
weak heart died from heart failure.
He said that the fire was caused
from an explosion due to defective
gasoline stove and that he put the
ire out as soon as he discovered 1t.
He told this same story when he
| was first arrested for the murder OF
his wife, Immediately after being
released on the insanity charge.
The fact that Schoh's. story did
| not agree with the story he told
the doctor the day the crime was
| committed was strong point in
favor OF the state and after being
out 10 hours the jury brought in a
| verdict of guilty OF manslaughter in
| the first degree. Judge Allen pre-
sided at the trial and Attorney L.
, L. Van Slyke Of Aberdeen. appeared
FOR the state.
Schon is 63 years of age and his
wife WAS Sc. There are six chill
| dren III the family. all grown up
Three Of the girls are schoolteacll-
ers and all are in comfortable cir
| cumstances 1t is said by neigh
bors that Schon and his wife had
aualrelsd before but no. thought
had ever been given their differ
! ences as they had been considered
no more serious th-n family "spats
which often occur uetWeen man
and wife.
Schon was taken Immediately to
the penitentiary at Bismarck where
| he will serve ten-year sentence.

swer to any question. When Nick went
along on his merry way scoring victory
after victory IL was thought that he
would be worked about every fourth
day or so. No announcement was made
that Cullop had a sore arm, and the
fans could not help wondering just why
he was not worked oftener.
Cullop got of 20 a rickety start and
allowed three runs in the first frame,
and the grandstand managers thought
70 would be the right move 10 take him
out of the game. Nick was equal 10 the
occasion. however, and worked out his

famous pitcher of the old Providence
Grays, who won the National League
pennant back in 1854. In that same
year Radbourne established his record
Of eighteen consecutive victories. That

ellis at least four times in the course OF
the game.
Plenty Of Action.
With the ball flying all over the field
there was no lack of opportunity Tor
the players 20 show at their best. The
Giants stood in behind Perritt in fine
stvle in all except the ninth inning, and
pulled him out of hole after hole. Ar
thur Fletcher won the regard Of the
fans by his fiashy, clever work al snort
stop. handling nine chances. Larry
Doyle robbed Hinchman of sure hit
By making a spectacular catch OF the
veterans vicious liner toward right
field Doyle was otherwise busy, and
taken on the whole it was quite day
for the Giants. Douglas Baird was the
target for number Of terrific smashes
down the third base line. He handled
five of them cleanly and two more he
knocked down, but could not ferry 20
the bag in time 10 make a play on them.
The Giants started their offensive
with the game. Burns lined out TO
Bash Compton, but KauH singled and
raced all the way home when Robert
sons double evaded the clutch OF
O'Brien. Davey went 70 third on the
boot, and crossed the plate when
Fletcher singled TO centre. For three
innings the Giants rested. although
they kept their hands in by nicklng
Cooper FOR hits In the fifth, however,
they got together and drove Cooper off
the rubber. getting three runs on as
many hits. Burns doubled and Cooper
fumbled a sacrifice bunt by Kauf. both
runners being safe. Robertson scored
Burns with long fy TO Compton. Kauff

ing on Fletcher's single. The last
named counted on Merkle'. double.
Big Flock Of Runs.
Adams took the mound in the sixth
frame and was found for run. Rari-
den's single. wild pitch and wallop
for base by Burns accounted for 1t.
That run was only a starting signal for
what was 10 happen later. The eighth
and ninth frames were productive OF
half dozen runs and made the game
safe. Smashing hitting, well sustained,
told the story, and Adams could sum-
mon up no curve which was cunning
enough 70 fool the batters.
The Pirates got their first run off
Perritt in the first inning. OBrien
tripled and scored on an intield out by
Hans Wagner. In the ninth frame Poll
was inclined 10 coast along. The
Pirates jumped at the chance to take
full advantage of his desire 70 loaf, and
five OF the boys welcomed the opportu-
nifty to fatten their batting averages.

MCGraW'S Men Run

with 10 Hits.
WESTERN
DRIVE is STARTED
Tour Begins Like the One That
Ended with Seventeen
Victories.

Pittsburgh. July s. There is a
strange tonic in the Western air which
works a metamorphosis in the New
York Giants. On the native heath they
are more in the nature of pygmies, but
start them away on the trail Of the set
ting sun and they borrow seven-league
boots TO outstrp all opposition II 3
probable that they borrow the hammer
of Thor as well, for those bats which
are of little avail al home suddenly be
come thunderbolts that play havoc with
all kinds of pitching. SO it was to-
day. when the Giants beat the Pirates
BY score Of l2 to on Forbes Field.
The Giants have yet TO lose a game
on Western soil, and if they can ap-
proximate the power shown this after
noon. defeat on this trip is hull down
on the horizon. Not even the fact that
the boys reverted to type FOR while
in the ninth inning and allowed the
Wagnerian troupe five runs, thanks TO
some strong hitting and weak fielding,
could overcome the fact that the crush
ing power was present
Nineteen hits. including four doubles
and couple Of triples. were combed
down from the deliveries OF Lefty
Cooper and the veteran Babe Adams.
Now. nineteen hits are calculated 20
make any amount of trouble. no matter
how they come, but when they are in
jected into the pastime in pairs and
trios, runs are bound TO be scored. The
Giants hit the ball right on the nose
and punched the drives nicely. So It
happened that Cooper was drilled for
nine safeties. which produced five runs,
and Adams was found for ten hits and
seven runs.
Pirates Demoralized.
Coupled with this strong offensive by
the Giants, the defence Of the home
team was as weak and resisting as
tissue paper. II seemed as if the
fingers of the players were suddenly
turned into thumbs. and nothing went
right. Buck O'Brien Clipped in a
couple of blunders. Joe Schultz made
two, while Bill Hinchman and Cooper
each contributed one. SO It happened
that the lines were alive with visiting
runners As a matter Of fact, there
was just a single inning in which the
Giants did not have at least one man on
base This wonder was worked in the
third inning.
Still. the Pirates did not lose the
game through lack of opportunity 20
score more than six runs They
gathered fourteen good clean hits from
the right-handed delivery OF Poll Per
ritt and punched five of these in the
final frame When the attack of the
Pirates was hottest in this inning the
defence Of the Giants buckled, and five
runs were rushed TO cover. The two
errors charged 10 the New York team
were made in this stanza. Both Nc
Kechnie and Kocher made poor throws
