THI IUSDAY, OCTOHKR 2(1, 1011, No. 300 JURY'S VERD1GT Fulkerson's Death is Attributed to Accident. BROTHER ARRIVES FROM WASH. C'oriicr JouHt Says He IU'1 loves Ful li ner Committed Suicide, Not wit li HtHiulhiK Verdict of Coron er's Jury to Contrary. Coroner Jewett returned here late last evening from West Fork where he was called following the sudden death of Harold Kills Fulkner, whose lifeless remains were found In a room In the West Fork hotel short ly after 9 o'clock Tuesday evening. Although the coroner's jury re turned a verdict to the effect that the) deceased came to his death through the accidental discharge of a revolver. Coroner N. T. Jewett, who viev. eO the remains and conduct ed the examination of witnesses, be lieves it a simple case of suicide. He attaches little significance to the fact that the man's pi e wa; found lying upon his b rei at, ccnsid?ring that he frequently indulged in smoking to bacco in its various forms. j Coroner Jewett says he also found a letter which was written by Fulk-: erson to a former sweetheart in Seattle. The letter ie considered of little importance by the coroner in asmuch as it contains nothing which would tend to unravel the mystery surrounding the demise. Fulkerson was a dent'et, hut had been engaged in the forestry service at West Fork for several years. He was about 25 years of age and a member of the Odd Fellows lodge, of Glendale. His parents reside In Zumbrode, Minn., to which place the remains will be shipped for burial. A broth er, who resides In Washington ar rived here this afternoon for the pur pose of accompanying the remains Hast. The bullet which resulted in the young nnn's death entered the right breast, and penetrated the heart and lungs. His death was probably in stantaneous. The body is being pre pared for burial at the Roseburg Undertaking Parlors. The verdict of the jury follows: "We the jury empaneled by the coroner in this case after viewing the body of the deceased and hear ing all the testimony presented to us, find that the mime of the de ceased was Harold Kills Fulkerson, that he died at about the hour of 7:15 p. m., on October 24, 1911, at the West Fork hotel, at Dothan, Douglas county, Oregon, from a gun shot wound, the said wound being inflicted by a revolver in his own bands. And we. the jury believe that the said wound was caused by acci dent. "WILLIAM HALE, SAMl'KL AHULL, (1. W. W1MRR, P. R. NELSON. X. HLACK1NTON. 1KLL LAWRENCE." HOY KttHTS OF AMERICA.

The boys join for the fun there is in it, and also because it helps them to be come stronger and more capable. The training does much to make "an all around man". A scout becomes first a "tender foot". After serving a month he may qualify for the second class. To be come a first class scout requires much strenuous) training, and the scouts of this class are still few. The motto, "Be Prepared," is made the guiding principle In the Boy Scout's life. He is taught that he must be prepared to make the most of himself and to be of the greatest possible service to others. The Boy Scout movement is a pro gram for boyhood, a recognition of boy life, beginuing at 12 years, when the boy Is just developing into man hood. Scouting takes a boy at this critical period of his life and provide him with helpful outdoor recreation which, at the same time, gives him an outlet for bis pent-up energies and practical means for applying his energies. . ALMOST EXTINCT. Number of Elk In Coos County Only A IK) ut ;ks. Coos Bay News: Members of the party who have spent the summer in the woods with the county timber cruiser, Dennis McCarthy, inform us that a conservative estimate of the lk in Coos county would place the number at about 35. They saw 12 in one band, which was the largest number seen at one time. The elk range on the headwaters of both forks of Coos river, and they saw no indications .of any hunters having killed any of them. It is hard for one who hunted in early days, and who has seen great bands of elk on the Coquille and along the coast country, to believe that the whole number now in the country totals only thirty-five. The early settlers never slaughtered the game they only killed for meat; but the hide hunters who came Into the coast country In the '70's from the prairie states, when buffalo were getting scarce, ore responsible for the al most total annihilation of the finest game animals that ever roamed the forests of North America. Of ocurse, as a new country settles up, game will disappear, but had it not been for the hide hunters the elk would have lasted a good deal longer than they have done. It is to be hoped that the few loft will not be molest ed, and if the law protecting them is strictly enforced, a few years will see the number considerably increased.

In an "ex hibition" hardly worthy of more than ordinary mention, the "Athletics'' Philadelphia's colebruted pennant winners, today defeated the "Qlanta", of New York by a score of 13 to 2. As a result the Philadelphia team has won the worlds championship title, and will return to the "Quaker City" tonight victors In one of the most sensational baseball series ever pulled off In the United States. The "Giants were completely out classed. In today's gamo, and hun dreds of fans who assembled In an ticipation of witnessing what they termed a fast exhibition retired at the end of the seventh Inning, when the Athletics scored seveu runs. In th language of the more experienced fans, toe Giants went to pieces, and were utterly unable to keep apace with the Athletics who were con Hden t of success from the stato. The New York rooters ure a sorry lot of boyB this afternoon, but notwithstanding, they are already looking ahead to the season of 1912 whoti thoy ex pect to make good. It is estimated that todays game was witnessed by 25,000 people, including no less than 3,000 funs who came from Philadel phia by special train. Bender and Thomas, the Athlotic battery, were In the pink of condi tion for today a game, and the man ner In which they held down the op ponuenta came as a surprise to ttie throngs that lined the bleachors. Ames, who pitched for New York was batted freely, and in the face of poor support, was unable to control the situation as he desired. Pitcher Coombs, who was quite seriously injured yesterday is in the hospital, hut it Is not lliouglit an op eration will he necHHury.

The ruu credited to Captain Lurry Doylo in the 10th Inning of yesterday's game. which gave New York Giants their second victory over the Pblladolpnia Athletlrn In the world s series, was not legally scored, according to a statement made after the game by mniro William J. Klem, of the Na tional League, who was ofllciatlng behind the plato as the umpire-chief. Dovle did not touch the plate, ac cording to Klem, nnd If the Athletic club had made an appeal, the um pire said he would have declare Doyle out and the tuning would nave enu ed In a tie score. As It was getting dark, the gamo could not navo gone much further. Umpire K lam's declaration that Dovle did not touch the plate was corroborated by Frsncls E. itltcber, of Philadelphia, and J. O, Taylor Spink, of St. Louis, the official scor era appointed by the national base ball commlHrilon.

Despite the fact that the umplre- In-chlef and the official scorers say Doyle did not touch the plate, n nroU'slB can be lodged with the corn mission as to the result of the game, It is said because the Philadelphia club made no apiieal on the play Umpire Klein's statement was made to the Associated Press Just after the irame ended. A question was raised In the scorer s board, whetlier the ball caught by Right Klelder Mur phy off Merkln'n bat In the 10th inning was caught on foul ground Klem said the ball was caught by Murphy in fair territory, that he mad" his derision that way, and tha he was corroborated by Umpire Bren nan, who was on the right field foil line, near Murphy. "Doyle never touched the plate, Klem volunteered, "but as the Ath letlc players made no appeal, th eame goes as a victory for Now York." Klem Telln of Incident. In telling the Associated PresB o the Incident Klem said: "When Murphy caught the ball I right field I set myself to nee th plate to get Murphy's throw.
