CHAMPIONSHIP SERIES HE.
SCLTS IN" A TIE.
CHICAGO. Oct. 8. Detroit and
Chicago, leaders of the American and
National leagues, respectively,' play
ed twelve strenuous innings to a tie
here today in the first game of a
series for the baseball championship
of the world. The contest was re
plete with sensational situations and
when Umpire O'Day, of the National
League, called the play otf on account
of darkness, m'ost of the 24,377 spec
tators sighed with relief and went
home well satisfied with the out
come. The score was 3 to 3. Over
all and Donovan" were the opposing
pitchers, but the former was taken
out when Chicago had tied the. score
in the ninth inning and had men on
bases waiting to score the winning
runs. Horan was sent in to bat for
him, but before the latter had time
to deliver the needed hit, Evers tried
to steal home and was out by a nar
row margin, retiring the side. Reul
bach finished the game and for three
innings retired the Detroit heavy hit
ters without the semblance of a hit.
The work or all the pitchers was
first-class, but Donovan had a shade
the best of his rivals in that he
struck out twelve of the opposing
batsmen. His second base on balls
was costly, but with good support he
would have won his game.
The contest was watched by an im
mense crowd, the enlarged stands be
ing packed to their capacity, while a
thin fringe of enthusiasts occupied
standing room in the deep center
field. Whatever ground rules may
have been formulated were not in
evidence, as none of the nineteen hits.
were sent outside the playing space.
MURDER MYSTERY
IN LOS ANGELES
LOS ANGELES, Oct. 8. The po
lice of this city are investigating
what is believed to be a -casa of mur
der. At an early hour the body of
man about 40 years old was found in
the rear of a house at Fourteenth
and Main streets. It had evidently
been taken there In a carriage.. The
face and head were badly bruised
and the dead man had been bleeding
from the nose and mouth. Papers
found on the body indicated that the
victim , was Thomas McCue, that he
had left Salt Luke on September 19
and that he had previously been e
guest at the Trinidad Hotel. Trini
dad, Colo. .
An autopsy held this afternoon de
veloped that death was due to
fracture of the skull and resulting
congestion. The fracture appears to
have been caused by a blow from a
weapon. Physicians believe that the
man had been dead twenty-four
, hours, which would strengthen thf
theory that the body had been
brought to where it was found. The
dead man weighed 175 pounds. Ha
had a heavy sandy mustache, sandy
hair and blue eyes. The clothing
contained no Valuables except a
purse containing 65 cents. A Pull
man sleeper ticket from Salt Lake to

Western Federation of Min

Against the Expenditure of
Large Sums of Money in
Prosecuting Defendant.
4 By Associated Press. -
BOISE, Idaho, Oct. 8. Another fruitless conference by the at- ;
torneys was held today on the proposition of postponing the trial
of George A. Pettibone, charged with complicity In the assassin-
atlon of former Governor Steunenberg. The lawyers will meet 1 -
again tomorrow, and unless something is definitely decided then,
the matter will be placed before Judge Wood for action. Pettibone
is regarded as being entirely too 111 to face a long trial, but the
defense has gone too far to accept postponement, thereby hoping
to force the State into granting bail for the sick man. Pettibone
Is suffering from a specific complaint and may never recover. He
is able to walk about the hospital, but an operation is impend-
ing. . 1 '"
A campaign against spending money in the prosecution of Petti- '
bone and Moyer along the vigorous lines laid down' In the Hay-
wood case is being carried on throughout the jState, and the West- .
ern Federation of Miners Is distributing pamphlets showing
every item of expense incurred in the latter case. Including the
personal expenses of the many detectives employed. The Haywood
trial is said to have cost In the neighborhood of $140,000. Gov-
ernor Gooding and other State officers declare that all the money
. necessary to prosecute Pettibone will be forthcoming.
There is absolutely no likelihood of his trial proceeding, how-
ever, on the lath, the day set.
Many alarming reports have been sent out from here regarding
the condition of Clarence Darrow of Chicago, leading attorney
for the defense. Darrow suffered an abscess in the left ear and
it was necessary twice to puncture his ear drum. He was never
in any danger, and was about the

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. Fluctua

thus better served than la the lethar

several days. The drawback was
that fluctuations became rather fev

even for room -traders to take ad

FESTIVE CAPTAIN
AN EMBEZZLER
NEW YORK, Oct. 8. For Miss
Gertrude Fentham, a beautiful girl
who was married September 23d to
captain William E. Gunn, manager
of the Schuyler Arms apartment ho
tel, a sad awakening is coming. . To-
day, while the couple are in Europe
enjoying their honeymoon, It has de
veloped that the dashing bridegroom
is short in his accounts a good many
thousands of dollars, and worse than
that, he Is alleged to have a wife and
three children somewhere on the Pa
ciflc Coast.
Gunn had a good salary, but is
said to have been living beyond his
means for some time before the mar
ried Miss Fentham. At the Schuyler
Arms, where he had his rooms, he
posed as a bachelor. He is about 40
years old, handsome and refined
With the guests of the house he was
a great favorite. .
There is some doubt as to how he
got his title of captain. According
to one story he had been a navigator
but some of his friends understood
he commanded a company of volun
teers in the Spanish-American war.
FRENCH JUDGES
FACE PROBLEM
PARIS, Oct. 8. The Intricate, and
finicky manner of administering
criminal law in France is attracting
editorial comment and particularly in
the case of an aged woman recently
murdered in Paris. One man stabbed
her while two others held her. Some
lawyers opine that the men who held
the murdered woman deserve a heav
ier sentence than the stabber.
The lawyers' difficulty in the case
is to determine how properly to ap
portion the punishment in its differ
ent degrees of severity, so that the
men who held the woman may get a
lighter sentence than the man who
stabbed her. The , public opinion
complains in the press that the time
of courts Is wasted by the misplaced
mercifulness of the judges.
