Long BROTHERS PIcnd Guilty.

YORK. Neb., Dec. 2O.-(Special.)-Frank
and Edwin Long, the two brothers who are
charged with assaulting Oliver Crowdsr with
intent to do great bodily injury a few nights
ago, while in company with a young lady,
had a preliminary hearing yesterday. The
deiense placed no witnesses on the stand, and
after the state had rested, made a motion
for the acquittal of the defendants on the
ground that the complaint did not set forth
sufficient facts to constitute a cause of ac-
tion. This was overruled and the prisoners
bound over. However, they pleaded guilty
to assault and were fined 5000 and costs.
They were required to give a peace bond.

bsing industriously carried on with a view
OF planting a large area to that product

ing a chicory factory here is receiving seri-

that a good demand will exist for all of

II the consensus of correspondence appears

For three weeks a movement has been
on foot, headed by some of the most sue
C ssful and influential farmers, to form an
irrigation district, in accordance with the
state irrigation law, OF the territory now
covered by the North Loup Irrigation and
Improvement company's ditch, with a view
Of extending the same down the valley into
Greeley county. and a petition to that end
which now has the requisite number of
s'gners. will soon b. presented to the Valley
county Board of Supervisors praying that an
election be called authorizing a vote on the
sans. Ii Is not expected that the movement
will meet with any serious opposition at the
polls, since 1t is generally conceded that
water can be supplied under the district
law much more economically than any private
or corporate enterprise can furnish IL, and 1t
is also thought that the benefits growing
out of its more general use will also be

STANFORD VS.. BERKELEY,
Eligibility to Freshman Teams
the Subject of a Slight
Disagreement.
PaIo Alto Varsity Players Not
Showing the Form Requisite
to Success.

STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct,
14.-Manager Eaton of the Stanford eleven
has held an important conference with
Manager Lang of Berkeley regarding the
freshman game. 1t seems that there is a
snag in the proceedings, and that while
both managers desire to see a game be-
tween the freshman elevens there is a dis
agreement regarding the rules governing
eligibility of players to the freshman
teams. a favorable outcome of the dis.
cussion will doubtless be reached within q
week, and the game be played on the day
heretofore announced.
Berkeley will have a much heavier
freshman eleven than will Stanford. Un-
less conditions change, and that speedily,
Stantord's freshman eleven is going to
have decidedly poor show for victory.
The varsity candidates are practicing
diligently each evening, but the progress
OF the players is far less perceptible than
at the beginning of the season. There is a
general feeling of confidence among them
that Stanford will win the next intercol-
legiate match from Berkeley, but unless
the men do better work than they have
Done recently they will have a hard fight
TO prevent defeat. Several of the PLAYERS
express this opinion, so an improvement
Is likely to soon be noted.
While Stanford will have no punter to
rival Ransome OF Berkeley it has now three
candidates for fullback who would do we'll
IN that position. Frazier '9S, Weldon '97,
and Harry Reynolds, '96 are the men, and
with proper training it will be hard to de-
eide which is the better PLAYER, though
their style of play is entirely different
In the game between '96 and '98 the lat
ter team protested against the placing of
Field in the line on McGuire's alleged in
jury. The umpire was supposed to have
decided the protest in favor of '98, but he
has finally announced that he will not de-
eide the protest at all.
The Stanford training-table will start up
tomorrow evening, SO Captain Cochran
has announced. Following are names OF
those players put on the table. Their
number will be increased gradually until
shortly before the big match, when all but
the best men will be removed: Spalding,
Pauly, Cotton, R. Smith, Campbell, Rice,
Fickert, Field, Carton, Carle, Thorsan,
Bigelow, James, Code, ]. Reynolds, H.

Centerritte's High-SchooL Football Team
Easily Defeated.

EuStty DeTedted.
STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CAL, Oct,
14.-The Stanford freshman eleven won its
first victory over an outside team to-day,
defeating the Centerville school boys The
score at the games conclusion stood % to 0
and, as only one goal was kicked by the
Stanford fullback, it will be seen that
touchdowns were numerous. The Center
vile team played very loose game, man
aging at intervals, however, to hold the
college players down, but soon going to
pieces again. Mass plays against STAN
ford's center were generally fruitless, so
Centerville was forced to depend on end
runs by their backs. Here, too, its team
was at disadvantage, for the Stanford
ends and tackles prevented any long gains.
A noteworthy feature of the game was
the clever playing of Stanley Harris, one
of the Stanford backs. Four of the touch
downs were made by him alone, and he
showed up the best of any man on the
field. He injured his ankle during the first
half of the game, yet continued to play un-
til the call of time. Plate, one of the Stan
ford halls, and Overacker made five gains
through the opposing rush line, and the
tackling of the former was very good.
Smith, at end, was very quick at getting
down on punts, and tackled low and hard.
The next game of the freshmen will be
with the Santa Cruz High School eleven
on October 26. 1t is not probable that a
game will be played with the Oakland
High School team.

none of the iockeying and chicanery which
have caused so many lines of sporting to
fall into disrepute.
The English colony at Bakersfield num-
bers some enthusiastic sportsmen among
its membership. Under the name of the
Kern County Country Club they have an
organization which is actively engaged in
promoting the ENJOYMENT of its own men,
bers as well as that of the community as a
whole. This club is now preparing for
race meeting which is to come off at Ba-
kersfield on November 5 and 6, and for
which very attractive programme has
been prepared.
The Country Club was first organized
under the name of the British Club. on Oc-
tober l, 1893. 1t started with forty mem
bers, with II. G. Cliff as president and T.
ID. Dudley secretary. Almost from the
start 1t took a prominent place in athletics.
During the year after it's organization four
cricket matches were played by the club
team, with results that at once brought
the organization into prominence. One
game was at Los Angeles, where the club
beat picked team from the south by one
inning and so runs. Two matches were
played with the Alameda Club, in the first
of which the Bakersfield boys were de-
feated, while the second resulted in a
draw. Another match with the Penryn
OIup oi RACER county was won Dy tne
Bakersfield team by rs runs. Harold
Richardson of this place, who distin-
guished himself all through the season of
1894 while playing for the Alameda team,
captained the home club.
A Rugby football team was also organ
lied, which was captained by A. E. Cheals,
without doubt one of the best Rugby foot
ball players in the country. One match
was played in 1894-wilh the Nomads of
San Francisco on April land was won by
the latter by eight points, after very ex-
citing and well-conducted game.
An association football team was also
organized and was captained by D. V.
Craigie. Three matches were played dur
ing the season, the most important of
which was with the Pacific Wanderers of
San Francisco. This was won by the
home club by three goals to one.
Following are the officers of the club for
1895: President, J. Berestord Jobling; vice
president, r. G. Morrison; secretary, T.
II. Dudley; treasurer, c. Bickerdike; cap
Rich, late of her Majesty's service; cap
tain of Rugby football team, r. Ashford.

The annual election of officers will be
held on the oath inst. 1t is expected that
DR.. r. A. Ferguson will be unanimously
elected president and T. II. Dudley secre-
tary for the third time.
The gentlemen riders. of the Country
Club are: Messrs. f. W. D. Gwynne, NJ. G.

Double i'm 2.12 ID


LEXINGTON, KY, Oct. 14.-When the
two pacing .mares Miss Rita and Josie B
went a mile this afternoon, double, in
2:12A they made new worlds record.
Another worlds record was broken in
the 2:06 pace, as there developed result
of the only instance when five horses
earned money out of race where only
four moneys were given, as Rachael, Vera
Capel and Direction divided third and
fourth moneys. Guinette won second quite
handily by finishing three times second to
Star Pointer.
Geers drove the three winners in to-dav's
events, and with Boreal in the Kentucky
stake his mastery hand had much to do
with the victory. On form Boreal was
hardly regarded in the contest, but he de-
veloped high rating in the stamina test.

battle to the half in two heats.
Kohl won two heats and Killona one
