Half iusaue by jealousy that had long smouldered in
his heart, aud further inflamed by drink, Henry H. Board
man entered the lobby of the Fifth Avenue hotel at 7:()l>
o'clock last night, and walking in front of Reginald Stew
art. who was sitting, placed a 3S calibre revolver almost
against his neck and fired.
Stewart fell forward upon the floor with a groan. Run
ning out on the sidewalk Boardman placed the muzzle of
the revolver against his right temple and pulled the trigger
in an attempt to suicide. He fell on thesidewilk with both
eyes blinded.
Boardman staggered to his feet, and was seized by Herb
Taylor and Charley Runner, who, with several others, car
ried him down to Britt's drugstore, where Mr. Britt dressed
his wounds. Several times tiie wounded man asked i\Ir.
Britt to let him die.
Stewart was taken into the dining room of the Fifth
Avenue, and Dr. \V. G. (Jabie was summoned. He admin
istered restoratives, and Stewart was taken to the White
Pass hospital. The bullet passed completely through his I
neck, aud narrowly missed severing the jugular vein.
Stewart will recover. Today he is partially paralyzed from
the shock.
The bullet passed in Boardmau's right temple and
went out through his lett eye. nis eyesignt? aw.-iu?iwj j
destroyed, but he will recover unless complications set in.
This morning Boardman was rational, and told the
story of the shooting to The Alaskan reporter. He ex
presses no regret over the occurrence except that he failed
to kill himself. He admits that he deliberately planned to
kill Stewart, and said that he would have killed him in
Dawson if the opportunity, had offered.
The trouble started in Dawson some four years ago. Mr.
aud Mrs. Boaidman lived there, she conducting a laundry
business and Boardman working as a miner. Stewart was
also a miner, and lately was foreman of a Guggenheim
dredge.
Boardman claims that Stewart and Mrs. Boardman
were intimate: that Stewart had estranged his wife and
wrecked his home.

IE IT IBIS
(By United Press.)
Detroit, Midi., Oct. 16. ? The Pittsburg Pirates today
won the baseball championship of the world from the De
troit Tigers by a score of 8 to 0, taking the seventh and de.
cisive game of the series.
Manager Jennings had saved Wild Hill Donovan to
pitch the final game for Detroit. Charley Adams went in
the box for Pittsburg.
Donovan blew up in the second inning, and the Pirates
got two runs across the plate. The heavy Pirate sluggers
tapped Donovan freely in the fourth inning, and after two
more runs had crossed the plate Jennings pulled out Dono
van and put in Mullin.
Mullin was tired from his workiu pitching three games
of the series. His arm gave out in the sixth inning, and
the Pirates got three mor^ runs. They scored another run
in the ninth inning.
Adams pitched a great game, and had the Tigers faded
at all stages of the game.
About 35,000 frenzied fans saw the game. The last
four innings were played in a light snow fall.
The batteries were: Pittsburg, Adams and Gibson;
Detroit, Donovan, Mullin and Schmidt.
"LADY BABBIE"
WINS US ALL
We came, we saw? and we were '
conquered.
Miss Virginln Thornton proved such
"uiiglttMwt. winsome, fascinating
ated the hearts of the large audience
a* Elks hall last night and no one
wondered much that she turned the
"Little Minister's head ? or was It
his heart, too, that she won?
Harrie's best comedy was Interpret- 1
ed by a sterling cast in a manner'
that left little to be desired and It ^
was a thoroughly pleased audience!
thatllngered and applauded as the
last curtain fell.
T. Daniel FVawley as "The Little
Minister" played the part In his
usual convincing and easy manner.
He was a perfect foil to the vivacity
of the gypsy girl, "Lady Babble."
Miss Evelyn Selble ns "Micah Dow"
was a brae laddie and Beryl Worth
ington and C'orrinne Walton as "Fel
ice" and "Nannie Webster" made the
most of their lines.
As "Lord Rlntoul" William L.
Thome made a live part of the crusty
old Scotch nobleman and H. Gittus
Lonsdale proved a keen and incisive
' Capt. Halllwell."
Harry Russell, Lee Morriss, Dave
Williams, Arthur Elton and Ed G.
Conway all were dour Scots and were
?-? ? ? ???rar_ situa
ial mention as "Robert Dow."
Reed's orchestra played during the
performance in their usual pleasing
manner and after the final curtain
had fallen there was a tripping of
the light fantastic toe until an early
tour this morning.
The S. R. O. sign was out early in
the game.
The City of Seattle was unloading
i freight at Juueau at 3 o'clock this afier
noon and is not expected in Skagway
Lull after midnight. She will not leave
