MINERAL POINT VICTORIOUS.
Dodgeville Easily Defeated at Foot
Ball by Mineral Point.
SCORE 100.

On Friday last, at the Iowa County
fair, the foot ball teams of Mineral
Point and Dodgeville played a very
interesting and exciting game, which
resulted in victory for Mineral Point,
with score of 10 to Q. The victors
have reason to be proud of their
victory, seeing that they played
against team which outweighed
theirs by a good many pounds; and
which contained some players who
played on college eleyens; while their
own team contained nothing but
"home talent"
The grounds, poor in themselves,
were not improved by the rain, which
just preceded the game.
Mineral Point won the toss, and
took her choice of goals. Dodgeville
kicked off. by good interference the
ball was returned nearly to the center
of the field, where it was downed. A
series of end plays brought it nearer
to Dodgevilles goal. Then on three
downs it was lost to Dodgeville, who
made no gain. The ball being again
in possession Of Mineral Point, bucking
the line was tried, which resulted in
Gale making touch down, by going
through tackle and guard. No goal
was kicked from this. Score to 0, in
favor of Mineral Point. On the
second kick off, Mineral Point made
10 yards before being stopped. Minor
was then sent around right end. He
made good run and carried the ball
good ways down the field, In the
next play Harris, by a crisis. cross,
scored touch down. Gale kicked the
goal. Score 10 to 0, in Mineral Points
favor. Mineral Point made no gain
on the next kick off, but repeatedly
hitting the line, they forced the ball
past the center, where they lost it on
three downs. Dodgeville by losing 20
yards kept it, only to lose it, without
making any gain, while trying to go
through the line. In the next play
Walter Hoare hurt his ankle. VIM.
Hoare took his place. and Brown play
ed center. A few minutes after this,
time was called, the ball being in the
possession of Mineral Point, and in
Dodgeville's territory. At no time
during this half was Mineral Points
goal threatened, Dodgeville losing the
bal! on three downs, as soon as getting
it.
In the second half Mineral Point,
literally, played an up hill game,
there being a considerable rise in the
ground between the two goals. In
this half neither side scored, and only
once was Mineral Points goal threat.
ened. Mineral Point kicked off.
Dodgeville gradually advanced the ball
to within two yards of her opponents
goal, where Mineral Point rallied and
held them for three downs, Treweek
making one of the prettiest plays of
the day. Mineral Point kept the ball
until time was called, which was soon
afterwards.

"E hgve heard Of q great many cases

one quite as remarkable as that OF John
0ear,uan Cf Old Hurley, in my county.
Ten wears ago John Dearman married
Katherine Crispell, s well to do farmer
daughter. Soon afIeTward he took to
drink and in time abused his wlfe
shamefully. Five years ago she deter
mined to have him arrested for Ill treat
ing her, but he disappeared before she
carried out her intention
''Mrs. DeatIrTn heard nothing OF her
husband afte- he went away, but year
or so later she read in newspaper an
account of the discovery Of the body OF
3 man i'll the Hudson river, near New
burg. The description of the drowned
man was SO much like that Of her miss
ing husband that she went TO Newburg
10 see if the body was his. 1t had been
buried when she got there. She showed
to the coroner, the physicians who had
held the post mortem and to others who
had seen the body photograph OF her
husband, and every one at once pro-
nounced it that Of the dead man.
MRS. Dearman had the body d1sln-
TERED in order that she might herself
see the face and make sure that lt was
her husband. She recognized the body
at once, and the further fact that the
dead man had two front teeth missing
lust as her husband had, made the iden-
tification the more positive. She re-
moved the body to her home and had 1t
reinterred.
"a year or so ago Mrs. Dearman
married John Brant.IOver and removed
1 with him to Albany, where they now
live, prosperous and happy. One day last
week, to the amazement of every Oody
who had known him, John Dearman
long supposed dead and buried, returned
to Old Hurley. There cOull be no mis-
take as to his identity. Too many cir
cumstances proved that he was the tru'

posed drowning was told to him, ant
the grave where it was believed he ha'
been lying these four years was show
to him. He also learned that his wifi
had remarked and had moved away

didn't feel well enough 20 go 10 church,
they could always be depended upon to
turn MP after the benediction for Sun
day school and listen to Lie Halford ex-
pound the Scriptures, as he could do
better than any preacher or layman
south OF the Wabash river.
When he went 10 Washington, that
Bible class disintegrated, and Lie didn {
start one there because he was so bur
dened with the cares Of state. But when
he went to Omaha US brand new major
