 The Yale '9S football team was defeat ed here on Saturday by, the Walling- fords by a score of 10 to 4. The game was called quite late and it was quite dark before the contest was over, which may account for the Yales scoring their touchdown in the last inning. Horan, Bundle and Allis did the best work for the home team. The game was rough one and Downs of the local team got beautiful black eye in the scrimmage.
 Mrs. Van Buren Cook has met with a strange and almost unaccountable mis- fortune which will result in the loss of her arm. A few nights ago she awoke with strange feeling in her arm. The lower part seemed paralyzed The at-- tending physician, Dr. Russell, found that ,clot of blood has formed near the elbow and stopped the circulation of blood, and below the elbow the arm is dead and turned black. The blood forming a clot above her elbow alone saved her life as otherwise certain death would have followed. As soon as the clot of blood, which extends entire ly around the arm, has sufficiently har- dened to permit the arm will be ampu- tated nearly up to the shoulder, as the only chance of saving her life. The case is a very peculiar one and is sup posed to have been brought about by some injury to the arm while she was asleep.
