The Portland tossers were unable to connect with Roach, Butte's pitcher, today, and the first game of the series with the Miners resulted in defeat. The contest was one between pitchers. In the main; though Engle was touched up frequently by McCloskey's batters. The game was close throughout and in doubt until the last of the nine in nings had been played and with Butte one run to the good, on a score of 6 to 5. Butte scored -first in the third. McHale got first on an error by Anderson, and Roach sac rificed him to second: Ward scored him on a single. Portland took the lead in the fourth. "Van Buren singled and Anderson cacrificed him to the next bag. Zelgler scored Van Buren, while Weed went out. Feigler reached the home plate on Houtz' muff of Harris' fly. Portland again tied the score in the sixth inning. Anderson's two-bagger resulted in his making the circuit, Zeigler's fly to the infield bringing him in. In the ninth inning Zelgler hit one to Mclntyre, and made second on an error. Weed followed and flew out, and Harris did likewise. Deisel then sent a hot one to the right field, which Marshall allowed to pass him, and Zelgler scored. Engle retired the side. The Portland players put up a good game, but seemed to lack their usual vim, and apparently felt the effects of their long trip. Vlgneux's bad thumb caused him to remain on the bench. Umpire Colgan was given an ova tion. The score: BUTTE. , , AB.,R, H. PO. A. E.

Body Fonnd in the Suburbs Probably Not That of Minnie Mitchell Coroner's Inquest. CHICAGO, Aug. 20. After an Investi gation by the Chicago police extending over a fortnight and a two days' Cor oner's Inquest, the authorities are still in doubt whether the body of the murdered woman found In the field at Seventy fourth and State streets was really that of Minnie Mlicnell. Three men stand ac cused of complicity In her death and that of Mrs. Anne Bartholin and are held in heavy bonds to the grand Jury. Yester day Patrolman Watson, who found the body, could, not tell Its sex because of Its advanced stage of decomposition. Coroner's Physician Springer stated that the body must have lain 10 or 12 weeks before tho brain could have been ab sorbed, and that had quicklime been used by the murderers, as conjectured, mag gots would not have entered the body, as was the case. Even the Coroner's Jury, when It rendered a verdict today recom mending that Oscar Thompson, Edward Counselman and John Claffey be held to explain the death, stated only that the body was supposed to be that of Minnie Mitchell. Articles of clothing found near the dead body, however, were Identified by the Mitchell family, and a week ago the body was burled as Minnie Mitchell by rela tives of the girl who has been missing since July 30, and who was last seen in the company of her sweetheart, William J. Bartholin. With this conflicting testi mony to hinder them, the police are al most stalled In their search for William Bartholin, whom the Coroner's Jury rec ommended be apprehended. Lieutenant Healy, In telling of the cir cumstances leading -up to the arrest of Counselman, said that Mrs. Counselman had told him that Bartholin had informed her husband that his (Bar tholin's) girl was in a hospital, and that SOUTHERN OREGON. Demlclc, 1 b. Demlclc, Hnlcn, 2 h. ho needed $C0 to care for her; that he had i R0C her Into trouble.

The letter came July 11, while her husband was at work. She thought there was something queer about it and opened it. j The letter was the one In which Bartholin sought to secure money on a loan. Tho 1 woman told me soon , after she opened the letter that Bartholin came Into the house: then she said: 'I told him that I had opened his letter to Ed. He seemed very angry about it and said: "You are liable to get into trouble opening lettera that way." Will Bartholin asked me where Ed was working. He had been over to the Piano works looking for him. but had not found him. I told him that Ed was working at the Austin Manufactur- ers' Company. Harvey, 111., and he went i in that direction.' I "Mrs. Counselman said that Ed came ' home that night," continued Lieutenant Healy, "but was very anxious to get away. As soon as he ate his supper he hurried away. He said he was going to Eee Will Bartholin at his home in Calumet avenue. The woman told me that Counselman got home at 1 o'clock In the morning, very much excited. She said he started to cry. and got on his knees beside the bed. She told me that Ed said he'd have to go to Denver, because he got Into trouble and would tell her nothing unless she prom ised not to tell what she knew. This she declined to do. She told me how her hus band had attempted to choke her several WEBER PIANO That which gives the "Weber Piano its charm, its real worth apart from the quality of the materials which enter into its construction, and the artistic Beauty, of its exterior, is its pure, rich, and sympathetic toner in the possession of which it stands alone times In order to get the letter away from her, which she refused to give up." The Lieutenant said he had repeated Mrs. Counselmnn's story, but Counsel man said he had seen nothing of Bartholin since July H. "He admitted." continued the officer, "that he had gone to Bartholin's house that night; but that Will was in the front room. Bartholin, he claimed, told him this: 'I sent for you to tell you that I was In deep trouble and that I need 60. Counselman claimed that he asked Bar- thniin whv hr nprdpd so much monev. and Will replied tnat tne trouDie was aoou; a fin tvnn wns n t a. mace on uie vvi in Side, and that he needed the money pay for an operation on her." After hearing further testimony, none of which brought out anything substan tial, the inquiry was closed and the Cor nnpr's 1urv beiran its deliberations. The verdict practically leaves any further in- vcstigatlon as to the supposed death of Minnie Mitchell to the September grand Jury. State Attorney Dlneen will return to the city and will take up the charges against Thompson. Claffy and Counsel- man. More tangible results are expected from the postponed Inquest in the case of Mrs. Anna Bartholin, which will be resumed tomorrow. For this murder, Oscar Thomnson Is held as principal, and Counselman and Claffy as accessories, al- though William Bartholin is being sought on the suspicion of matricide as well as for the murder of his fiancee. Whllo the Important testimony of the wig-maker who Identified the switch of laise hair as one sne naa maue ior .Minnie Mitchell, came to help the theory of the police that the body was that of Miss Mitchell. Dr. James Springer, the Coro ner's physician, steadfastly maintained that It was not her body and gave the Coroner the following statement: "On August 8 I had a post-mortem examina tion upon the body of an unknown woman (unidentified). On inspection I found the body In a bad state of decomposition. I found the scalp, shoulders and arms to tally destroyed by absorption. I found the abdomen contracted, the skin dried and the tissues of the pelvis destroyed by absorption. I found a -bullet hole one- fourth of an Inch in diameter In the center of the back of the head. In the center of tho occipital bone. On opening the skull I found that the brain was totally de stroyed and the skull empty. I found a small flattened bullet lying at the base, the vertebrae of the back protruding and the tissues destroyed. In my opinion the said unknown woman came to her death from a bullet wound In the head." Dr. Sprlger declared it was his opinion that death must have occurred from nine to 12 weeks preceding the finding of the body, in order to allow the disintegra tion of tho body as It was found. He declared that quicklime had not been used. A COLLECTION OF VIOLINS Restoring Old Instruments the Rec reation of a. Weather Bureau Man. Milwaukee Journal.

The marriageable girl In Tunis has a trying ordeal to go through after her be trothal to the man not of her choice, but whose choice she is. She has to be fat tened to the required size before the cere mony can take place. As soon as the be trothal takes place she Is taken to a room and there cooped up till the fatten ing process Is concluded. Silver shackles are fastened round her wrist3 and ankles, and the task of her parents and future husband is to Increase her bulk till her wrists and ankles fill up the shackles. If the husband Is a widower, or has "dis charged" his flrst wife, the girl has tho shackles of the flrst spouse placed on her, and she must fill them out. It takes a long time to do this, as a rule, and some times it cannot be accomplished In splto of all efforts. It Is then open to the fu ture husband to cry off the bargain or waive the condition. In the case of a bachelor he takes care to see that tho bracelets and ankles are not too large that Is. If he is fond of the girl but if he is being forced Into the marriage by his parents, he is a great stickler for custom. Stout girls are more quickly snapped up in Tunis. In View of Recent Successes.
