Batchelors Win from
Benedicts, Score 21-13
In Yesterday s Ball Game
With the score standing 13 to 10
in the last of the eighth, in favor
of the Benedicts, the Bachelors strode
to bat in their last inning, placed
their “big Berthas” and bombarded
the enemy with a fussilade of hot
shots, which, when the smoke lifted,
revealed eleven tallies had crossed
the barricade, bringing the score to
21 to 13. The white flag was run
' up, when the Bachelors appeared
on the firing line and “Bud” Dyer
opened up the reserve artillery,
bowling over the opposition in one,
two, three order. The game was
played yesterday afternoon and was
attended by the largest crowd of
fans to date. Fear was first express
| ed that the game would ibe called
ion account of rain. Blah!
Brother was pitted against broth
• I ed in the game, for “Bud” Dyer
hurled for the single men and Tom
for the married men. Hopkins caught
‘Bud” and Shellhorn was on the re
ceiving end for Tom. “Bud” allow
ed thirteen hits, walked four, and
struck out four. Tom was tapped
for 21 hits, walked four, and struck
out seven. McLaughlin made the
only homerun of the game. The
Bachelors were credited with four
errors and the Benedicts three.
Joe Badger made the (base decis
ions and McKenna took care of the
balls and strikes.

BUTLER KILLED
BY UNKNOWN
NEW YORK, Feb. 1 (#>)—'The vi
cinity of the Rockefeller home here
in West Fifty-fourth street off Fifth
avenue was thrown into excitement
tonight by the murder of Herbert Bra
mall, butler for James R. Deering, a
wealthy lawyer.
When Bramall answered the door
bell and opened the door partly a mys
terious person leveled a revolver at
him and fired, Bramall falling over
and gasping out his life in the hall.
Mrs. Deering was home alone except
for a woman caller and the servants.
She called the police who immediately
faced a deep mystery.
Bramall’s wife, a maid in the house,
who was out at the time of the
shooting, returned shortly af.e. ~:id
was questioned as to whether u_ r hus
band had any enemies. She said they
had been married three years. Her
husband served in the British army,
| and was once in the service of the
Duke of Cornwall. Later he served
with the Biddle family in New York.
! He had no enemies his wife could re
! call.
! Police are working on the theory
| that the murder was done by a per- j
sonal enemy as no attempt was made |
j to enter the house. The slayer fled j
unseen.

Mr. August Eckholm, chief officer

on the special trip of the Starr

j Seattle where Mr. Eckholm owns

i second officer, succeeds Mr. Eck
holm as chief officer. A new sec

Alaska arriving in port this week.
Wm. Carden, who has a tie contract
; at Mile 13.5 was a week end visitor
; in Seward. He returned to his camp
j yesterday. He reports no snow to haul
with and this condition is tying up
many of the railroad camps.
Mrs. Marie Cox arrived on the last
boat from the south to take a position
in the Seward Grill.
Fred Stalder, who has been in town
the past week, plans leaving for his
contract at Mile 60.
From the way a certain magazine
editor romps on the churches, we
have begun to suspect that he got
married in one.
BEAVER AND BEAR
DISCUSSED BY
REP. D. JENSEN
MEMBER OF TERRITORIAL GAME
COMMISSION ABSORBS
MANY FACTS.
One of the items of local interest,
in connection with the Territorial
Game Commission laws and which
was brought out by Representative
Jensen from Nome, prior to his de
parture from Seward Saturday night
for the Juneau headquarters of the
commission, was that referring to
whether in the opinion of the ma
jority of the local citizens, brown
bear hunting should be restricted.
It was pointed out to Mr. Jensen,
who is a member of the commission,
that with few exceptions, by far the
greater proportion of bear hunters
come from the States for that espe
cial reason and, knowing what they
have come for, they get their speci
men, are satisfied and return home.
Anyone in Seward can count on one
hand, it is stated, the number of
brownies shot by residents of this
district. It' was also pointed out to
Mr. Jensen that unofficial reports
from the westward reveal the 'bears
are increasing in numbers at enor
mous rates. On each return trip
to Seward of the steamer Starr this
statement is borne out by passen
gers who tell of viewing scores of
the bruins. On the last trip of the
Starr, at a certain isolated saltery,
two brown bears the size of cows
were glimpsed near the beach.
Hal G. Evarts, noted writer for
the Saturday Evening Post, upon his
return to Seward last summer from
one of his trips to the westward re
ported seeing a herd of about 24
brownies, and Mr. Evarts is very
conservative in his figures.
But of vital importance to the
trappers was the interest exhibited
by Mr. Jensen in the beaver question.
He dwelled frankly on this subject,
with those he spoke with, and who
are quite content to let the matter
rest in his hands.
Representative Jensen was a lunch
eon guest of Capt. O. A. Johansen,
on board the steamer Starr, Saturday
and spent an agreeable and instruc
tive hour later with Seward’s and
the westward’s most loyal supporter,
learning of conditions and general
activities. He expressed the desire
just before leaving for his hotel, that
he wished he could so arrange his
