Game.

They beat the Wabash team playing football but tlie coach who acted as an official refused to stay beaten.

For downright mendacity and a steadfast adherence to the most bare-faced piece of knavery ever witnessed in amatuer sport, Saturday’s exhibition and its perpetrator are both entitled to a large seperate niche in the halls of fame, if not a little hall alone.

An offiicial who makes an absolute, Hat claim of foul, then offers to allow part of of a score if another part be relinquished, and who has the right to order a game to continue and his decision to stand, bat does not, and uses up an hour of day light talking against time, then exercises his authority to call the game on account of darkness and announces a decision against a winning team, is certainly well, he might be called partial.

Culver expected to have a hard game Saturday. They had all that and more. The large, gentlemen from Wabash are of the type to give a preparatory school a considerable amount of exercise in the course of an afternoon’s bickering up and down a gridiron, and they did. I n this they were admirably seconded by a portly gentleman with a pleasant face, who acted as an entirely disinterested and impartial official. Mark the word — acted not was. But no matter. It was a golden opportunity, one of those thas comes to a man but once in a life time— at Culver.

THE GAME.

Wabash won toss and chose to kick off, Culver to defend the west goal. Wabash kicked to the ten yard line and Knight ran the ball back ten. First down, Wabasli was off side and was penalized. Second Bays F. got through right tackle four yards, third Barrett same place five. First down. Bays F. left tackle one yard, second, Knight left guard, one half yard, third Barrett held and the ball went to Wabash. Hartz, Spaulding and Marshall to just make the distance. In the next two downs Spaulding made seven yards. Twice it took three downs to make the distance, Cavnah getting through and stopping the proceedings twice for no gain.

Culver was putting up a superb defence but the weight of the visitors told and the ball was surely worked up to and over the line, it requiring two downs to push it the last half yard. Goal kicked.

Wabash kicked to the ten yard line and secured the ball on a fumble at the twenty-five yard line. First down Wabash was off side and lost ten yards. Second Miller tried to carry the ball on a trick but Barrett downed him seven yards back. Third they formed to punt but the full downed the ball and made it first down, a thing possible with a liberal interpretation of this season’s rules, and the liberal interpretor present. First down Wabash fumbled and Culver got the ball. First down Bays F. right end second Hunter right end five. First down Bays H. left tackle five yards. First down Barrett left end ten yards. The next two downs were held and Culver punted.

First down Cavnah came through and downed Marshall for loss, Spaulding at guard and tackle, made it in the next two. First down, Dague was downed back of the line by Cavnah, second, Spaulding circled left end for the distance.

Culver put up a mighty defence

against the next three assaults and Wabash made no apparent gain, the ball going over. Bern is and Bays F. made it first down. Barrett carried the ball five through right tackle, Hunter same place four and Bays F. followed for two. Bays F. was sent again around left end and it was first down. Then Barret burst through left tackle for a ten yard gain. BaysF., Barrett and Bays H. made the distance and a bit to spare next three downs. The ball was within a yard of the line, Knight hurdled,, was over and yelled ’‘down” but as Wabash was pushing manfully the whistle failed to work until the captain was safely back inside the gridiron, then it blew quickly. Bays F. was sent and went low. When the players were unwound he was discovered in a nice little heap with the ball safely cuddled in his lap and Culver had touched down. Goal was kicked, Larrab- bee taking a week and placing it exactly between the posts. W a bash kicked and there was a lively three minutes of play and time was up.

SECOND HALF.

Culver kicked to the fifteen yard line and the return was but a yard. Spauling and Harp were held and Wabash punted recovering the ballon a fumble. Cavnah stopped the next two attempts through left tackle and Wabash again punted. Bemis falling on the ball out of bounds. Bemis and Barrett both went through right tackle and made the distance. Culver had the ball for eleven downs but finally Wabash held for downs and the ball changed hands. Wabash now commenced a tremendous hammering of Culver’s line, in which something very much like dirty ball was played, but no matter, thep slowly but none the less surely sent Culver back toward their goal fighting like demons until Spaulding went over and downed the ball. The ball was punted out and Spaulding heeled the catch but goal was missed.

Wabash kicked to the ten yard line, Barrett running the ball back ten and getting a bump which put him out of the game. Madero went in in his place. In five downs Culver lost the ball on a fumble. Spaulding got around right end for fifteen yards, tried it at left and was held. Marsh tried right end for two and Spaulding was held. Culver’s ball. Hunter carried the ball fifteen yards around right end and a delayed pass was attempted and with both teams piled upon Rolling who apparently had the ball, Bays F. got pass right end and was off down the field. Even the full back did not see him until too late. The thick set master of ceremonies from the banks of the Wabash blew his whistle and started to unlace the heap of players when the awful stampeed along the side lines caused him to gaze about for the cause and he turned just in time to see Bays F. ninety yards away galloping back of the goal and touch the ball down. H is face was a study. There were several faces from down about Craw- fordsville which were studies and then they got busy. Spaulding claimed that he had been held by Bays H. and the perfectly unbiased “gent” agreed with him, although he11 was faced at rather a bad angle to see such a proceeding when it was alleged to have occurred. He argued and hedged and consulted and offered a compromise, finally prpposiog to allow a touch down if Culver would forego a trial at goal. The case was too brazen for him to give a fiat order for the ball to be returned and Culver penalized, which should have been his course had he seen a foul as he claimed.* So

he argued. He ieferred in pathetic tones to his blowing of the whistle and left it to the other official if it wasn’t so. Of course it was so. He blew his whistle. But if he did so when he saw Spaulding fouled as he claimed after ten minutes or so sparring for wind, why did he seek for the ball at the other end of the line? I f he saw a foul, why did he offer to allow a touch kown to the manifest disadvantage of his team? And if a touch down was due Culver by what chain of reasoning could he deny them a try for goal? He argued until it was getting dark, not too dark to play ball but dark enough to conceal a blush and called the game on account of da rkness, announcing the score as eleven to five, forgetting that Culver had kicked goal on the first touch down. They had gone ahead and kicked the goal on the disputed touchdown while the argument was on but as Wabash was not on side at the goal posts the goal could hardly be considered to belong to Culver under a strict interpretation of the rules. However, rule's or no rules, BaysF. had carried that ball ninety yards on a play in which there was no foul. Spaulding was within two yards of the head linesman who had an unobstructed view and who absolutely denied the foul and whose word has some weight under present rules. It was an awful blow to Wabash who outweighed the Culver men eight pounds to the man and are of course older men. Their official had the right to call a foul but when he had called it he should have backed it up by penalizing Culver and ordering tht! game to proceed. He had no right to baby play against time for an hour, then call the game. The rules give him no such right and honesty of purpose is not apparent in such a proceeding. The line-up:W a b a s h .

Sophomores and Freshmen Indulge in Rough Play, During Which Hun

Madison, W is., special: Over 300 students struggling, fighting and yelling in the shallow water o f the rocky shore o f Lake Mendota, near the W isconsin university, was the unprecedented spectacle presented on the occasion o f the annual freshman-sopho-

j more rush. O ver 500 students were I ducked during the affray and the shore J was thronged with soaked boys chill- j ed to the marrow while the fight was j in progress.

The rush was not interfered with by ■ President Van Hise, the faculty or

police, and although it was the most j strenuous and the greatest ducking af-I fa ir ever held here no serious dam

age was done to property and nothing worse than a general cold to the participants, with numerous bloody noses, bruises and scratches, resulted.

President Van H ise remained in his office, but had reports o f the fight and professors were on hand to caution against excesses and care for prospective maimed and injured, which fortunately did not develop. President Van Hise, it is learned, looks upon the rush as a feature not altogether unhealthful i f well contained, and he was glad to learn that no casualties resulted. A fter the rush, which was a nominal sophomore victory, the freshmen paraded to the state capitol and held a jo llification in a drenching rainstorm.

The most serious storms struck in the neighborhood o f Hamilton, Greenwood county, and A liceville , Coffey county, where five distinct funnel- shaped clouds formed at about the same time. Tw o o f these circled on A licev ille and practically wiped it out o f existence, every one o f its fifty houses being either wrecked or at least disturbed on its foundations. Passing to the southwest, the storm demolished more than one farmhouse, in one instance carrying a baby fifty yards through the a ir and then dropping it practically uninjured.

Passing over a strip o f territory a quarter o f a m ile wide, the storm took everyth ing in its path, finally spending its fury about four m iles from Ham ilton, where all the deaths and many of the injuries occurred. H ere nine farmhouses were destroyed within a short distance o f one another, and hay and grain stacks scattered to the four winds o f heaven.

Grievances o f Women A re Aired at Joliet Convention o f Illinois

Suffrage Association.

Joliet, 111., special: The thirty-fourth annual convention o f the Illinois Equal Suffrage association met in this city, the president, Mrs. K ate Hughes of Table Rock, 111., presiding.

“ Grievances o f Women To-day and Their Remedy,” was the topic on which Mrs. Hughes in her annual address spoke. She said, in part:

“ W hat are our grievances? In sixteen states a w ife has no right to her own earnings and the husband can collect the same for his own use. In eight states she has no right to an in4 terest in the estate her husband owned at their marriage, and at his death she has no dower therein. In no state in the union, i f the w ife dies first, can she bequeath any part o f her property which she, as wife, had helped her husband to amass.

“ In thirty-six states a w ife has no right to her own children, fo r the law gives the father legal control and guardianship o f them. And w e are taxed both in season and out o f season to help support a government in which w e can have no voice.

Man Regarded as W ealthy Plunger on Stock Market Resigns From

Offices o f Trust.

Lancaster, Pa., dispatch: The announcement o f the resignation o f W illiam B. Given, president o f the Lancaster County Railway and L igh t com-

| pany, and the discovery o f a discrep- j ancy in his accounts o f o ver $100,000,

caused a sensation hereThe statement was made by officers

o f the company, which owns all the trolley, electric and gas concerns in operat’ on in this city. Given was also president and a director o f the Columbia Trust company, and he has resigned these offices.

Several months ago the stockholders made a change in the management o f the railway and ligh t company, although Given was retained as nominal president, and put an expert accountant on the books. Given was confronted w ith the situation and, it is reported, confessed his guilt. In a large part he has made restitution, and the stockholders w ill not suffer a severe loss.

Given was regarded as a man o f great wealth and a plunger in the stock market. He has been noted as an operator on an extensive scale in Philadelphia and New York.

The slump during the last year and particularly in recent months, carried w ith it such heavy losses that Given was unable to meet the demands o f his brokers fo r margins and his accounts were closed out. His operations are reported to have been large in Steel, Consolidated Lake Superior, Copper, Union Pacific and Southern Railway.

The vice president o f the Columbia Trust company said that it w ill in no way be affected by Mr. Given’s financial troubles, as he did not ow e the company a dollar. As yet no legal proceedings have been instituted.

THAT GIRL of JOHNSON’S■By J E r A . f i K_j\ T E J L U D L l/ M ,

Author o f "A t a G ir l ’s Mercy," Etc.

Entered According to Act o f Congress in the Year 1890 by Street & Smith, In the Office o f the Librarian o f Congress, at Washington, D. C.

C H A PT E R V II!.— Continued.The woman came to m eet them as

they rode up. Foam dripped from the mouths o f their horses, and their heads hung listlessly, w hile their flanks were covered w ith sweat. The men dismounted and loosened the saddle girths.

Had Johnson returned? they asked her.

N ot that she had heard of. she replied. Did the^ want Johnson? Had they been searching for him?

Yes, they replied, they wanted Johnson; he was summoned to appear in the town in the Green case; it was believed he could tell considerable about the matter; should he not ap- ,pear to-day, they must wait.

W hat i f he were dead? she asked, curiously; i f he had fallen into some one o f the dangerous places on the mountain?

I f he were dead, they said— well, if he were dead that would put a different face upon the matter.; they hoped he was not dead, fo r the law should not be baflled. Did she think he was dead? Had she cause to think so?

No, sbo knew no reason why Johnson should be dead unless he had fallen in some o f the dangerous places on the mountain; they must know this, for they had been there; fo r her part she knew nothing about it save from what she heard those say who had been there.

They paid her liberally and rode away. Dolores was still sitting at the gate under the pines w ith her haggard face and idle hands, and the eyes that watched fo r what did not como. Johnson was not there, she said, quietly, and they never questioned her word, but instinctively lifted their hats as they rode away.

C H A PT E R IX.

A More Thorough Search.Dolores, worn with watching and

faint from lack o f food, fe ll asleep at the door-way, and slept the whole night through; the dawning had deepened to broad light when she waked.

She bathed her face with cool water from the w ell and brushed her soft hair back, winding i t in a heavy coil at the back of her head.

The table was set as she had left il. the day before, and when she hung the kettle over the fire she took the pail and went out to m ilk Brindle.

Lodie came up for water; he hesitated as he saw Dolores, but she rose up bravely to m eet him. She did not speak, but her eyes asked him a question.

"T h er ,,case w ere postponed,” he said, slowly. “ Ther jedge w'ere put out consid’rable. but as ’t couldn’t be helped he said they’d hev ter wait tell yer feyther kems.”

H e did not linger; he dared not linger when she was watching him. He could not tell her o f the roused suspicion regarding Johnson’s non- appearance. H e le ft a fu ll bucket on the edge o f the well fo r her.

Dolores was unused to attention; this slight act touched her strangely; she watched him go down the road, and his slouching figure had a soit of grace in her eyes.

She arose and carried the pail In

side. Then she prepared a pot of coffee strong and clear, and drank a cupful. She fried some bacon and eggs, and ate them determinedly. She was impelled by her hidden purpose, and ate that she should have strength.

When she had finished she filled a large bottle with rich new milk, and hung it at her side with a slender rope across hsr Shoulders; she knew that she would have need o f both her hands. Then she closed the door and went dowrn the path with a firm step.

As she pushed the rickety gate up and fastened it with its swinging rope, and turned' to go down the road, a step crunched the gravel at her side, and a fam iliar voice sounded in her ears, a voice that hitherto had held such sweetness to her shut as she had always been in her hard life. But she turned now with the free look dying from her face and eyes.

“ D olores!” exclaimed young Green, eagerly, a warm light in his kindly eyes as he went up to her with outstretched hands. “ I came over to see about, your father. You have heard nothing from him yet. Miss Johnson?”

“ I shall find him to-day,” she said, steadily.

For the first time he noticed the bottle at her waist and the strange, sad expression o f her face. A knowledge o f her errand flashed upon him. He touched her arm gently to detain her.

“ You are going to find him. Miss Johnson— Dolores? You believe he is lost over on yonder mountain? W hat fools we were not to have thought o f that before. Le t me go with you; may I? W hat could you do should you find him?” H e used no softening words to her; he knew she comprehended the possible ending to their search.

“ You must ride my horse, Miss Johnson. The way is long and rough, and— ”

“ I w ill walk,” she said, simply. Her lips had lost their warm red color; her wide eyes w ere on his face in their strange wistfulness.

“ Then I w ill leave him at the tavern,” he said, quietly, to com fort her.

A group o f men were around the door o f the tavern as they approached and w ere talking over the events o f the previous day. W hen young Green and Dolores appeared their glances were suggestive, and they listened in silence when the young man spoke. W hen he finished an ominous silence fe ll upon them. Then Lodie arose. O f them all he was the most angular and uncouth, but among them he was nobler than they.

“ Ther dep’ties dedn’t know ther mounting,” he said gravely. “ Theys m ight hev a’ms’ . stepped on ’em o ’thout knowin’ et. E f he hev met with an acc’dent he mayn’t be able ter kem an’ ’11 die ’thout help kem ter ’em. E f thet ga l o ’ Johnsing’s ken go ower thar ter hunt ’em, I reckon we uns ken do ’t.”

H is slow, heavy words roused an interest in his listeners as all Green’s words could not do, and they arose at once to their duty with many a word o f grumbling that passed unnoticed because each understood that this was simply t’nesr way o f showing the depth o f their interest.

The strange party moved along the ghostly mist o f the va lley road and across the bridge like spirits o f the mountain. The ascent was hard and toilsome, and Dolores was unused to such exertion; young Green was athletic, but he also had never so had his strength put to the proof. They paused many times to rest and recover breath. By and by Green helped Dolores. Her recent lack of food and sleep had unfitted her for such exertion. She was panting and weak, but she smiled her slow, brave smile, and shook her head when he offered to take her home i f she wished. She came to find her father, she said quietly, and she would find him; she fe lt certain o f that.

TTp in the blue space a vulture hovered; the dull Hap o f his wings was audible in the dead stillness and hollow below. Dolores saw him, and her eyes dilated.

“ S ee !” she cried, her sweet, strangely penetrating voice full o f terror echoing down the misty hollow. "See! W hy is he there? They follow where- there are wounded. He is not there fo r nothing.”

Their eyes followed hers; her terror was reflected in their faces, used as they were to such scenes, and young Green instinctively drew her nearer himself as tjiough to shield her from what might follow. There was nothing certain about the vulture’s prey; it might he a wounded hare, a stag, or— a man! That it was something was certain; something, too, that was wounded, not dead.

They stood in silence a moment with awe struck faces, while the bird o f death hovering above them had a terrible meaning for them. Dolores clung to young Green with trembling hands in the first wild moment; she did not feel his strong arm about her; there was a look in her eyes he could never forget. Then she loosened her hold of him, aud stood alone slender and stately on the brink o f the yawning gulf. It was marvelous how she impressed those about her with her personality. Many a time afterward the young man was wakened in the night with the memory o f her as she stood there in her utter self-forgetfulness, her feet touching the edge o f the gu lf opening before her, her tender face grand with its brave soul

“ I w ill call him,” she said, gravely. “ H e may answer, for he is there, I know.”

She leaned above the void filled in with ghostly mist and gruesome shadows; young Green’s hand tvas upon her arm, but she did not know it. She called aloud, and her voice rang down the silence, waking the echoes from rock to rock

“ Father! Fa th er!”The bird o f death overhead flapped

his heavy wings and uttered a fierce cry as a panther might that has lost its young. They waited and listened; no sound disturbed the hush o f the mountain’s heart save the echoes fainting farther and farther into the mysterious depths below.

“ Father! Fa th er!”“ H e did not hear,” said Dolores,

quietly. “ Or perhaps he cannot answer. I w ill call again.”

That he was there she did not doubt; whether dead or alive she would find him; she believed that, too. She placed her hands to her mouth,

and her vo ice again woke the echoes like the tones o f a flute

“ Father! Fa th er!”The vulture whirred down in front

o f them w'ith its fierce cry. Then suddenly up from the depths, ye t not fa r from them, floated a faint call, half moan, half answer. They listened as though in doubt, afraid to believe lest they be mistaken. But again the fa in t vo ice sounded not far distant, but weak. Green stretched himself flat on the ground, and leaned far o ver the perilous edge'

About twenty feet below a sharp ledge projected, form ing a flat shelf; this was covered with a tangle o f shrubs and bushes. The mist hung about it like a phantom shroud, and even to Green’s clear eye it was but faintly discernible. W hether or not Johnson was there, he could not tell. H e called cheerily, and again the weak voice replied; the bushes below w ere stirred slightly, and a feeble hand appeared fo r an instant.

Green arose sw iftly to his fee t; he uncoiled the rope w ith sw ift sweeps o f his muscular young arms, and fastening one end around his waist secured the other end to a sturdy sapling near. The men understood his design without words, and obeyed his orders promptly.

Dolores watched them with dilating eyes and her lips close shut, as though to stifle a cry. W hen she saw what

“ Let me go; it is my duty.”young Green was about to do. she came forward, a world o f wonder and horror and pleading in her eyes that were larger and darker than usual as they m et the steady blue ones above her.

“ Do not go,” she said, slowly, as though the words would not come. “ L e t me go; it is my duty; but you — you must not risk your life for him.”

l i e replied hurriedly. There was a sw ift flashing smile in his eyes as they met hers, it was pleasant to him that she cared for his safety, and he answered her with a sw ift, brave smile. He spoke to the men cheerily, but clearly and concisely; he told them to hold hard and mind their work. They were ready, and obeyed him at once, and without words.

As he turned to let h imself down over the edge he looked toward Dolores. She. was standing apart from them white and silent, her slender, graceful figure in its homely print gown sharply defined against tho drooping pine boughs that swung low down; her brown eyes were on him with a great wonder in their depths. A t the time he did not understand, but he smiled at her, and the smile was so grave and tender and steady that it seemed to her afterward when she thought of it that he had spoken.

She neither moved nor spoke; he believed that she did not see him though her eyes were on him till he disappeared over the edge, the rope making a dull whir through the grass that stifled all thought in her mind but the possibility o f danger to him.

Source o f Nervous Impulse.The theory o f Ixieb and Matthews

that the nervous impulse, although it brings in electricity, is far from regarding tue transmission o f that impulse as identical with a simple electrical current. In a medical journal, Dr. O ’Brien advocates the old theory that nervous current and electrical Current are identical, because, first, electricity is always present when nerves act; second, electricity is the form o f lorce which would do the work required; third, because the terminal and central mechanisms connected with the nerves correspond to the terminal and central mechanisms connected with electrical system o f communication, and do sim ilar work in sending, receiving, relaying, switch ing. transforming, accumulating, retarding, distributing and translating impressions, and, fourth, because electricity. with such construction o f conductors and o f terminal mechanisms, is the only form of force we know of that would do all the work required.

Denver, Colo., special: Officers and men o f tho Colorado state m ilitia, a part o f whom have been detailed to Cripple Creek, have fallen out and are now charging each other w ith grafting and irregularities o f an almost endless variety.

H ighway robbery and burglary are not on ' the list o f offenses, but the charges made do not come short o f them.

Startling Charges.Among the charges to be investi

gated are:Padded pay rolls, the employment

of superfluous generals and colonels, who draw the salary o f their rank, but who performed sergeants’ duties.

General extravagance in the purchase o f supplies fo r the commissary department.

Officers securing a rakeoff from contractors.

The issuance by wholesale, o f transportation between Cripple Creek and Denver to officers and enlisted men. their fam ilies and friends, and charging the same to the state.

Graft in Bookkeeping.The bookkeeping o f the camp ar

ranged to admit o f grafting.The surreptitious raising o f men

with a “ pull” from noncommissioned officers to captains, majors and colonels.

The erection o f quarters fo r each colonel involving the state in a heavy but needless expense.

The purchase o f spoiled beef fo r the enlisted men at exorbitant prices.

Carelessness and recklessness in the handling o f finances.

Orders Court-Martial.Gov. J. II. Peabody has recalled

from active service at Cripple Creek Adjt. Gen. Sherman Bell. Gen. John Chase, Maj. Arthur H. W illiam s, Col. Frederick Gross and Col. Kim ball for alleged participation in fraud and grafting and has ordered a court martia l against the officers.

The charges grow out o f friction between the officers, Gen. Bell and Chase.

In addition, charges have been filed against Gen. Chase by subordinate o fficers, who charge he exceeded his authority and disregarded the direct orders o f the commander in chief, Gov. Peabody.

Washington special: The results o f a seven months’ investigation o f the postofflce department, so far as Fourth Assistant Postmaster General Bristow or his assistants are concerned o r are responsible, w ill be embodied in Mr. Bristow ’s report, which is promised to be in the hands o f Postmaster General Payne by Oct. 16, and later sent to President R ooseve lt Th is report is being carefully prepared, and when completed w ill consist o f about 350 typewritten pages, o r in the neighborhood o f 110,000 words.

In reference to the postoffice officials against whom indictments have been returned he w ill state only the charges that were found by the jury and not attempt to cover the mass o f detailed evidence which has been and is being collected. A fte r making his report he w ill consider his portion o f the work completed, excepting the furnishing o f the collected evidence.

I t is hardly probable that there w’ ill be any more indictments. The addi-. tional surprise and commotion in post- office circles and elsewhere w ill occur when Mr. Bristow ’s report is made public. It w ill recommend numerous dismissals from the service. A majority o f these dismissals w ill include government employes who.do a great deal o f traveling. They have padded their expense accounts or reported that they were at a certain place discharging their duties when in fact they w ere some place on a fishing trip or away on a visit.

N ext w ill come severe reprimands fo r higher officials who have been careless and permitted the business o f their departments to be handled in a most haphazard and unbusinesslike manner. Mr. Bristow w ill make recommendations fo r changes which he thinks should • be made fo r the betterment o f the service, but w ill leave most o f this to the postmaster general.

Woman Collects On Note Given by Eccentric Man, Whose Frozen Feet

She Bandaged.

Utica. N. Y., special: On Christmas eve, 1878, George W . Todd, fam iliarly called “ Long Todd,” an eccentric individual who died last April leaving $50,000, gave a note for $5,000 to Miss Jennie Crawford o f W est Schuyler, near here, who was then in her teens, in return for her bandaging his frozen feet and giv ing him a new pair o f socks. The note read as follows:

‘W e s t Schuyler, Dec. 24.— I promise to Jennie Crawford $5,000 when I die and George Crawford $5,000. I g ive Jennie Yarwood $1 fo r socks to-night.

“ George W . Todd.”A t the time it was not known that

“ Long Todd” was wealthy, as he tramped around the Eastern states and Canada, pushing a wheelbarrow in summer and hauling a sled in winter. H e lived on what he could beg, and clothed h imself in scantiest raiment.

M iss Crawford gave litt le thought to the note given her by Todd until he died last spring and bank books found in his possession showed him to be worth about $50,000. She immediately sued his estate for the amount o f the note aud interest thereon from the date o f Todd’s death. In the Supreme court at Rome a jury awarded her $5,150.

Dives Under Surface to See How Near It Can Come to Dahlgren and

Nearly Sinks It.

New York special: The submarine torpedo boat Shark during a tria l at Greenport. L. I., rammed the torpedo boat Dahlgren, which w ith its crew o f seven men barely escaped sinking.

A fte r a dive under the surface the Shark came up within twenty fee t o f the Dahlgren, and before the engines could be reversed crashed into the port side o f the vessel.

A hole four feet long was torn through the plates o f the torpedo boat, while the only damage to the Shark was the tearing o f the paint from its bow.

Lieut. C. A. Nelson, who commanded the Shark, said that the strong ebb tide made the Shark momentarily uncontrollable. H e had figured to run to the surface a short distance from the Dahlgren and prove the Shark’s ability to run close to an enemy and then back quickly away.

Baby Is Suffocated W ith Mud.Dallas, Tex., special: The one-year-

PITCHED BATTLE ON HIGHWAY

Representatives o f the Law Engage in Fierce Fight W ith Desperadoes A fter a Chase in T ro lley Car and One Robber Is Killed.

Aurora, 111., special: Three masked robbers who held up a street car on the R iverview Park line at 10 o ’clock at night were overtaken by the police a fter an exciting chase on an electric car shortly before midnight. In the battle which ensued one o f the robbers was killed and another, i t is believed, was wounded. The wounded man and the third robber succeeded in escaping, but the police are continuing the search fo r them.

The street car was held up just outside the southwest city limits, near the Sard Stove works. There is a switch at this point, and as the car slowed up on its way to the city threo men stepped out to the side o f the road and signaled it to stop.

Thinking that they w ere passengers who wished to go to Aurora, Motor- man Plum stopped the car and the robbers climbed aboard w ith revolvers in their hands. They covered Plum and Conductor W hitney and took their money and valuables. W hitney had only $7, as there w ere few passengers.

Ordering the conductor and the mo- torman into the car, the robbers took charge, running it as fa r as the stove works, where they got o ff and disappeared in the darkness. They made no attempt to rob the few passengers.

Pursue Bandits on Troiley.The police w ere notified at once,

and Patrolmen Gibson and Grass were detailed on the case. They soon heard that the bandits had boarded an electric car fo r Chicago, and started in pursuit on the next car. The motorman was ordered to run at fu ll speed, and the car plunged ahead in the darkness at the rate o f fo rty miles an hour. Although several minutes apart on the schedule, the fo llow ing car gained so much in the chase that the highwaymen were overtaken at Chicago Junction, a station three miles from this city.

Battle on Highway.As soon as the robbers saw the rap

idly moving car bearing down on them they realized that they were being pursued, and started to run. Leaping to the ground the policemen drew their revolvers, and a fusillade o f shots followed, the robbers answering shot fo r shot. So fierce was the fire o f the highwaymen that Officer Gibson was forced to take shelter behind the car to protect h imself while he reloaded his gun. Grass in the meantime had emptied his revolver, and he ran into the substation o f the trolley line to get another.

Policeman Kills One.A t this moment the highwaymen

started to escape, and Gibson, coming from behind the car with his revolver reloaded, shot at one o f them. The man ran a few steps and fe ll in the weeds. W hen picked up it was found that he had been shot through the forehead and one eye. Blood stains on the ground indicated that another had been wounded, and the police began a search o f the river bank. They found a black hat, but did not discover a trace o f the fugitives.

Recognize Dead Robber.The body o f the dead robber was

brought here later and was at once recognized as that o f a man who was seen about Aurora. He was about 40 years old and wore a brown fedora hat, which had been purchased in Des Moines, la. It is believed that he laid the plans fo r the robbery and that the intention o f the trio was to hold up the Yorkville car, which usually is heavily loaded w ith passengers.
