Marshfield, the Heavier Team,
Wins by Comfortable Score
Over North Bend.
GAME CLEAN THROUGHOUT
Good Feeling Prevailed and No Busi
ness Mndcs for Hospitals A
Good Crowd.
The M'Jrshfleld spectators, football
team and the pupils who accom
panied them to North Bend yesterday
came homo happy. The result of the
game was sixteen to nothing In ravor
of the Marshffeld high school team,
and being the first same 01 tho sea
son, It sbould give the boys confi
dence in themselves. They were none
too cert:? In of their chances when
they left Marshfield yesterday and
were rtady to accept defeat.
The crowd at the game was largely
Marst field people, and these were
convtyed by the Bonlta, the North
Bend', 'the Flyer, private rigs, auto
mobiles, and private launches. It
was a crowd a3 large as could have
been expected on Saturday when most
of r.he shopping Is done on the bay,
and the receipts amounted to $40.
Thn team was given free transporta
tion by the O'Kelly management both
wars and a great part of the crowd
too the same boats.
The game was said by spectators
to have been Interesting every part of
the distance. North Bend was out
classed In weight, and the figures
given for the averages are: Marsh
field 135, North Bend 130. The game
was played on tho baseball grounds
in the northern part of the city and
the returning enthusiasts complain
about Its being overgrown with
blackberry bushes and some players
were considerably scratched during
the scrimmages by briars.
The halves were 20 minutes each,
and were refereed by Will Chandler.
Editor Whlsnant of the Harbor, was
umpire. Buss Tower and R. Braln
ard, timekeepers. Tho lino men's
names were not learned.
Marshfield had the ball most of
the time, and North Bend wa ob
liged to punt every time she had pos
session with three or four excep
tions. Both teams played well, but
the bucking of Marshfield was too
much for the neighbors. Among the
North Bend players who were par
ticularly busy to good advantage
were the fullback, H. Bussoll and the
two Story boys. Among the Marsh
field boys were several who distin
guished themselves, but the coach,
Mr. Hutchlns said they all played
well and deserve equal praise. The
principal feature was a 25 yard run
by Hayes of Marshfield who picked
up a fumble and ran for a touch
down. Wleder and Rasmussen each
made a 20 yard run and H. Brlggs'
fullback work was considered good.
The criticism on the Marshfield
playing was to the effect that tho
boys are playing too high. This, ac
cording to those who know, should
be remedied, and Coach Hutchlns Is
trying to Impress It upon the bunch.
Tho contingent on their return say
they were used well and there was
nothing to complain about. There
were no disputes and tho decisions of
the officials were accepted as gospel.
The feeling was general that the
games to follow will bo as pleasant
nnd Interesting, Tho score of tho
game does not show any great advan
tage for the Marshfield boys, and
likely North Bend may bo able to re
verse the result when they come on
November 2nd for the second game.
Tho girls of tho Marshfield school
were In evidence at the game and
cheered their team with songs and
yells.
Mr. J. N. Hutchlns, tho coach, do
serves credit for tho victory, for the
lineup was to a great extent new, and
the boys were without football ex
perience. Mr Hutchlns Is from Min
neapolis and understands the game
to perfection. He was a member of
the Minneapolis North Side high
school team, and played with and
managed the Lund Land company
team In that city for four years. He
says the boys should not feel any
special pride In this victory, for such
a score is easily reversed, and they
will have to keep In good training
and work hard If they hope to hold
their lead over the North Bend team.
Tho two teams played as indicated
in yesterday's Times, as follows:
North Bend. Marshfield.
II. Redfleld. . .Center. . . .Lon Sweet
G. Redfield L. G Ed. Dolan
Dick Lemon. . . .L. T. . . . C. Merchant

Tom Story L. II lid. Wleder
Carmlchael. ...R. II. . ,G. Rasmussen
Touchdowns Brlggs, Hayes, Ras

A particularly gratifying feature
of the game was the total absence of
injuries and both teams emerged
from tho contest In as good shape as
when play was started.
VENERABLE INDIAN
JOINS GREAT FATHER
Ten Mllo Tom Died at Jordan's
Cove Last Thursday Was
A Modoc
Ten Mile Tom, the venerable and
well known Indian who has lived
for the past ten or twelve years at
Jordan's Cove, passed over the
divide on Thursday night and has
gone to the happy hunting grounds.
Tom was an unusual character and
in the early days was greatly re
spected by the whites who Inhabited
this section. Ho was always con
sidered an Indian of good qualities
and Integrity. When ho lived near
Empire, he was accustomed to fur
nishing tho people of that city with
gamo and the people went to him
when they wished something in that
line. Mrs. Henry Sengstacken, who
is well acquainted with his late
history, speaks of him as an Indian
of much finer qualities than the or
dinary red man. Among his better
sentiments was a great regard for
his wife for whom he always had
the tenderest feelings and whom ho
cared for to tho last. His end was
seen to be approaching last Monday
and Mrs. Sengstacken visited tho
home that day. Tom had practically
ceased to realize what was occuring
about him, but he roused and made
a request for Mrs. Sengstacken to
look out for Kate, tho wife.
The widow Is well along In yeara
and will have an Indian woman
from tho Sluslaw como to llvo with
her as a companion. Mrs. Seng
stacken speaks of her as a woman
of very tidy habits and says her
homo always looks clean and neat.
There was no way of estimating
Tom's age, but ho was thought to
bo somewhere between eighty and
ninety. The widow, when asked
regarding the matter said, "Indians
no count," meaning they never kept
any record of ages. He will be
burled at tho Cove whero a number
of other Indians are sleeping. Tom
was not a Coos Indian but a Modoc,
and came here from the south before
the whites arrived, Tho widow, in
speaking of his age, .said he was a
little boy when the whites came.
"SENGSTACKEN" WILL
HIKE FOR TIMBER
A. Gustafson, moro familiarly
known as "Sengstacken," a well
known character, was taken from
the city lock-up yesterday afternoon
where ho had been placed for
drunkenness, and , escorted to the
Justice hall of Recorder Upton. At
torney E. L. C. Farrln and J. AV.
Carter were present to prosecute
Gustafson for habitual vagrancy and
the victim pleaded guilty to the
charge, although ho said he had
been working moro or less since he
had been in the city. But his habits
wero too well known to tho dis
pensers of law, and his story of
"only having a good time once in a
while" did not go. Tho prosecution
claimed he was a vagrant, pure and
simple and asked the court to con
vict him. Judge Upton fined him
$25 and costs or 12 days In the
calaboose. Gustafson wanted tho al
ternative of getting out of town
and going to work, and this privilege
was granted him, and tho fine sus
pended. He will leave today or
Monday for the Thomas-Seeley log
ging camp on the Coqullle, and
should make them a good hand, as
he Is known to bo one of tho best
woodsmen In the county.
Pennsylvania Bents Brown.
Philadelphia, Oct. 19. Tho Uni
versity of Pennsylvania eleven de

SENATOR WILL
SPEAK MONDAY
Charles Fulton Will Make Ad
dress at Masonic Temple
at Eight.
NON-POLITICAL COMMITTEE'
.Promised Aid Is Wlint Will AVin
Votes Here J. W. Bennett
AVill He Host.
Pre:?.-ations are completed so far
as the IWiirshflold entertainment for
Senator Fulton Is concerned, but the
meagre knowledge of the senator's
plans for his stay has put the North
Bend contingent at sea, and they
find themselves obliged to wait until
ho arrives before they can take the
matter up and state what the en
tertainment will be at our sister
city.
Marshfield will send a committee
to meet him on his arrival next Mon
day on the Alliance at North Bend
and will escort him to this city
whero ho will bo the guest of J. W.
Bennett. In the evening it has been
arranged to have him speak to the
citizens of this territory at the Ma
sonic opera house, commencing at S
o'clock.
Tho following men are-named as
a committee to attend the senator
and provide for his
entertalnment
while In Marshfield: Dr. J. T. Mc
Cormac, Hon. John S. Coke, Dr. E. E.
Straw, Hon. J. AV. Bennett, Francis
H. Clarke, AV. S. Chandler, Father
Edward Donnelly, Herbert Lockhart,
M. C. Horton, AVilllam Grimes, An
son Rogers, Jr., Thomas Dimmlck,
Dr. C. AV. Tower, G. AV. Carleton,.I.

S. McFarland. Henry Sengstacken,
F. S. Dow, A. Mereen, J. AV. Snover,
J. M. Blake, Rev. H. H. Browne.
Naturally, the object pf the dis
tinguished visitor's trip is to look
over tho field and tell the people of
his desire to bo returned to'the sen
ate next year. He has made a good
record in congress and his speeches
have thrilled tho nation more than
once. He is not witnout opposition,
but ho believes that good service
should be a great Influence In next
vonr'a nrlmaries. Ho will bo well
received on Coos Bay and shown the
principal features of the country. It
Is supposed that he will not be able
to remain long, but what time he Is
here will bo well spent, for tho poli
ticians of Oregon would as well un
derstand at once that Coos Bay Is
going to bo a factor In the elections
before many years pass, and those
who keep In good standing now will
bo remembered when we become the
Influence which Is certain to be no
ticeable very soon.
It will be noted that his reception
to Marshfield will be non-political, If
tho reader will observe the political
complexion of the committee, and
this la well. AVhoover cares to come
to Coos Bay and promise us aid can
secure tho glad hand from Republi
cans and Democrats alike, and no
questions asked. Coos Bay is what
we are Interested In down this way.
UNION IRON WORKS
MAY BE CLOSED
San Francisco, Oct. 19. AVhether
the Union Iron AVorks is to be en
larged or closed will be determined
by Charles M. Schwab, former presi
dent of the United States steel cor
poration, within tho next three days.
Schwab arrived last night from the
east. Asked whether tho present
depression In finances Is temporary
or likely to be serious, ho replied;
"Tho prevailing depression Is
simply a reaction. AVe are going
ahead too fast. Now wo have to go
"low awhile. There has been a
boom, everything was carried to tho
breaking point, and present condi
tions are merely tho reaction. Peo
ple havo lost tho confidence they had
and depression ensues." Schwab Is
an extensive owner of mining Inter
ests In Nevada.
"I put moro money In Nevada than
any other man," ho said. "But I
must say I am bitterly disappointed
In Nevada. I do not think that I
have met a man who told the truth
about Nevada. Confidence of eastern
people In Nevada is gone."

EAGLE TO GIVE
RIVER FAST TRIPS
The gasoline launch Eagle was ta
ken to the Coqullle river this week,
to experiment with the supposed de
mand on the river for quick passen
ger service between Myrtle Point,
Coqullle and Bandon. Her first run
was made yesterday and tho speedy
launch covered the distance between
Bandon, the starting place, and Co
qullle, In two and a half hours. The
launch had a good sized load and
the run to Myrtle Point was made
In as good time. It Is tho plan of
the owners, the Holland Brothers, to
make two trips dally for tho dist
ance, if traffic seems to demand It.
There are no stops made between
the places named, and passengers
may be assured of quick transporta
tion If the Eagle remains on tho run.
Several passengers who camo over
from Bandon yesterday wero greatly
pleased with the new arrangement
and think It should bo a popular
matter with those who desire to
hurry up and down tho river.

BOY SEEN AT WENATCHEE
Further Contents of William Albert
Davis' Note "Mother" AVas
Boys' Thought.
Mr. and Mrs. John Lockman, who
have been telegraphing for the last
four days to towns In AVashlngton
and Idaho for some Information re
specting the rumored death of-their
son, and which account was pub
lished in the Times, have received
no word from any of the places they
havo addressed. They are unable to
LP
account for tho exasperating delay,
and have concluded to leave on the
Breakwater next Monday to visit the
cities whero something may be learn
ed regarding the unusual case. They
will visit Spokane nrst, and then go
to AVenatchee.
The only 1'ght that has been shed
n the matter since tho story was
published four days ago, is an Item
in the Spokesman-Review on the
lCth, as follows:
Mystery surrounds a remarkeblo
communication received at police
headquarters and signed by AVilllam
Albert Davis of St Anthony, Idaho,
In which Davis declares ho murdered
John Lofckman, of AVenatchee, AVash.,
and threw the body into the Co
lumbia river on October 1, 1907.
The letter says the deed was done
with a butcher knife and that the
murdered man's last words were
"Edith Speck, Marcus," and
"Mother."
Tho paper was found by Walter
E. Tipton of the Spokane Toilet
Supply company, in a towel rack
In the Diamond saloon, Front ave
nue and AA'ashlngton street, yester
day morning. It was written on a
piece of cardboard. On "the back
was tho Inscription: "Send this to
the chief of police of Spokane."
The lScal police communicated
with officers at AVenatchee, but to a
late hour last night had received
no response. It was learned that
families named Lockman and Speck
formerly lived 'in Marcus, AVashlng
ton but that the former moved to
the coast. John Lockman, a son,
17 yoars old, afterwards .left his
parents on tho coast and went back
to Marcus, presumably to see Edith,
one of the Speck girls. The local
police are puzzled over the Incident.
The mysterious note read as fol
lows: "I am AVilllam Albert Davis, St.
Anthony, Idaho. I murdered John
Lockman and threw him In tho Co
lumbia river at AVenatchee, AVash.,
on October 1, 1907, and It has nearly
set mo crazy, I stabbed him with a
butcher knife. His last words wero:
'Edith Speck, Marcus,' then, with an
effort, ho said: 'Mother.' Then I
threw him In the river."
Story Partially Confirmed.
AVenatchee, Wash., Oct 15. In
vestigation by tho officers hero to
day resulted In partial confirmation
of tho story told In tho note found
by tho Spokane police today, and
signed AVilllam Albert Davis, and
telling of tho killing of John Lock
man at this place. At a local lodg
ing house It was learned that about
October 1 a man and a boy stopped
at tho lodging house. They left
word to bo called in order to take
tho train at 3 o'clock In tho morning.
They wore called, and left tho place
together. That was the last seen
of them.

way or tho other.
MANAGEMENT WILL
STOP FAST EATING
Mnnngers of Soldiers' Homes Issue
Orders To Prevent Quick
Meals.
Santa Monica, Oct. 19. An or
der promulgated by the board of
managers of the National soldiers-'
homes, and aimed at tho rapid flro
eating of tho veterans, has been re
ceived at tho local home. This fast
eating has been tho bane of the phy
sicians. It has monaced the health,
of tho old soldiers and has beeu
largely responsible for the crowding
of the wardB In tho Hospital. Here
tofore It has been a case of eat and
run, every member of tho homo
gulping his food down io rapidly that
It was no exception- to the rule for
each of tho 2500 Inmates to finish,
his meal in seven minutes.
According to the new order, Just
posted In the dining hall, no veterau
Is permitted to be'gln his meal until
tho bell has rung. This compels moro
ceremony, and as tho order Is en
forced with strict military dfclpltne-,
It Is generally obeyed. There has
been but one Infraction, and In this
case tho offender was haled beXorc,
tho governor.
Under tho new order of Ihfrrgs tlftr -waiters
are also forced to encourage
tho soldier In tho complete mastica
tion and assimilation of their food.
Formerly,was the soldier would flntols
a part of his meal, tho empty dish"
would bo quickly removed. Now
nothing Is cleared away until till havo
finished the course and tho bell Is
sounded. In the. past, tho veterans
wero permitted to leave the table with
fruit In their hands. Now they . Mai -either
eat while soatod at tho tabUf
or leave the fruit alone. Nothing
uneaten Is permitted to bo carried
away.
Although tho now rule has been
In operation .but a few days, com
plaints of Indigestion have been less-
frequent and a bettor humor Is ap
parent among tho voteranB.
See C. J. Brnsehko for fotj Its
Marshfield Heights. Ho has some
thing that will Interest you.
