BUTTE, Mont.. Aug. 20. 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:

POLICE ALMOST STALLED
THE BARTHOLIN MYSTERY AT CHI
CAGO DEEPENS.
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

said:
"The woman came to me and told me of
the queer conduct of her husband. She
related to me of her receiving and open
ing a letter from Bartholin to Ed. 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

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

declined to do. She told me how her hus

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

A $20,000 collection of rare old violins
is something which few people would think
of finding in Milwaukee.
Such la the collection in the possession
of David K. Carr. himself a violin-maker
and connoisseur. Mr. Carr is an assistant
in the Weather Bureau, and occupies a
pleasant flat at S31 Twenty-ninth street,
and hi3 spare time, when not employed
at the office. Is devoted to the art "science
and art" he calls it of making and restor
ing violins.
Mr. Carr has In the collection a Stradl
varlus. This violin was made In 1693, and
has passed down from generation to gen
eration in the possesion of one farally

that its history Is unbroken, the Instru
ment being described and specified in an
unbroken series of wills and testaments on
file at Langenhagen, Germany. In exam
ining this Instrument one may realize
the value attached to the old Cremona
varnish, the composition of which, along
with the wonderful blue colors seen in
Raphael's Madonna, has been for nearly

Marriage in Tunis,
rictorial Magazine.
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.
