So Ends the Second Game,
a Very Excellent One
Yesterday's baseball game be
tween the Vinitas and Oswegoes,
resulting as shown above, has per
haps not been excelled on these
grounds thia season, in interest. It
was a game in which the entire
team of either side had a part.
The pitching en either side was
all that could be desired and Mc
Querry, (Spider,) of the home team
and Howell of the visitors were
very evenly matched., Howell
struck out 5 men and "'Spider" 4.
Honors with the catchers were also
quite evenly divided; neither per
mitted a hall to pass. A trick
with several of the batters was to
strike at balls they deemed it im
possible for Parks to catch, and
which were in some instances five
or six feel wide of the
plate in one or two instances
the wrong side of the batter. In
every case this endeavor to"flim"'
the boy proved disastrous. To afl
appearances Howell's work seem
ed to excell that of Mc Querry,
but not in results whs it manifest
to any extent. The former stop,
pad about the hottest ball that
"came down the pike" this season
and threw the batter out, while
"Spider" took the wire edge oil
another and made it possible for
the second baseman to perform a
like feat a lew minutes Jater.
Three double plays by Tro linger,
short stop, and Lemon, at second,
on forced runs, in ivhich the batter
was also thrown out to Ridenbour
at first, were the sensations of the
day, and do not otten fall to the
lot of two players on the same
side in the same game. The work
ofCorrell, the Oswego first base
man was exceptionally good and
his pitcher had no becileney
in putting the ball to biiu
on any occasion, and the
same was true at third, on
each, of which baseB a runner
was "jockied" out, much to the
amusement of the spectators, es
pecially when "Spider," who is
pretty "flip" himself, went down.
There were errors all around, but
it is just these which help to bring
about critical situations and give
the "rooters" an opportunity to
"get in the game" and express
their disapproval, and they are no,t
slow to do so. The strong points
with the Vinitas is their batting,
. and this it is which undoubtedly
places it in the columns of those
teams which are hard to beat.

Clay young, the man now in the
Muskogee jail and charged with
the murder of Bush and Cooey,
the dead men found ten days ago
near Fort Gibson, mude a confess
ion Saturday evening, freely
acknowledging his guiltiness of
the horrible crime, and the same
is now in possesion of United
States District Attorney Soper. j
The confession was obtained
from Young by Deputy Marshal
Rogers, who assisted in effecting
his arrest. Substantially it is as
follows: Young came into Mus
kogee on a freight train on Tues
day night preceding the murder.
Nxt diy he met Bush and Cooey
at a wagon yard where they
bought some horse feed. They in
formed him that they were going
to Arkansas to look I'.p a location.
Young stated his desire to go with
them and was privileged to accom
pany them. The party left Mus
kogee about noon Wednesday and
crosred the Arkansas river at
Frz-n Rock ferry. Proceeding
five or six miles further they
camped on thf train, all thre
lying down in tfm wi.gon. After
Bush and his companion had gone i
to sleep Youn& claims he conceived j
the idea of killing h:s benefactors,
robbing tliem and driving away
with the team. The scheme was
no sooner conceived than the
wretch proceeded to carry it into
execution. He first gained pos
session of Bush's old pepper box
pistol, an antiquated firearm with
one barrel loaded. Then picking
up the axe he dealt Cooey a blow
on the head. This aroused the
elder man who attempted to arise,
when the fiend also dealt him a
blow on the head with the axe.
Young followed up his murder
ous work by placing the pistol to
the old man's neck and firing. At
this juncture Cooey showed symp
toms of returning consciousness
when Young dealt him another
blow with the axe, crushing the
skull as if it were an eggshell.
Meanwhile Bush was struggling
and moaning piteously in the wag
on box, and the now frenzied
butcher likewise dealt bim a blow
which ended his suffering.
Young then proceeded to rob
his victims, finding only a small
amount of money, to his chagrin
and disappointment. The team
was thereafter hitched to the wag
on and the bodies hauled to the
spot near Gibson where they were
found next evening. The subse
quent details have for several days
been public property.
. Young, the confessed murderer,
is a depraved, ignorant, brutal
wretch, perhaps twenty-five years
of age. He is a typical tramp or
hobo, and has led a vagabond ex
istence all his life so he claims.
He states that he was born in
Illinois, bis parents both dying
while he was quite small, and
since then he has been a waif and
a stray. He does not seem to ap
preciate the enormity of his awful
crime, neither does he exhibit any
signs of remorse nor express any
regret , further than that his vic
tims were possessed of so little
money. Muskogee Times. "

Judge Thomas' ruling sustains
