THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA
AND GRINNELL TO MEET To-
DAY.
GREAT GAME IN PROSPECT.
THE EIGHTH CONTEST IN WHICH
THE ELEyENs HAVE TAKEN
PART.
BOTH TEAMS ARE CONFIDENT
Interest In the Result COnsidera BILE
How the Teams VIII
Line Up

Today, for the eighth time, the Uni
versity of Minnesota and Grinnell foot
ball teams line up to battle for honors
at the university would seem sadly
out of joint If the annual game with
the Iowa boys was not played. The
game has been played so regularly
that 1t Is now practically feature Of
the year, and when a new manager
takes hold Of football affairs the first
team he opens up correspondence with
is Grinnell.
Minnesota and Gl-innell have met
eight times. and only once have the
boys with the big &C" on their sweat
ers been able to do anything with the
denizens Of the North. Last year,
to the great surprise of the Western
football world the Grinnell team took
the locals into camp by a score of GA.
In consequence of this defeat, the
Minnesotas are filled with a spirit of
revenge, and are fully determined to
everlastingly settle the question Of su-
premacy.
The GrinneH team has six old men
back, and the additions are said to be
strictly first-class. Capron, the center.
is new man, but steady, and his
weight Of 206 makes him quite formida-
bic. Templeman, at left guard, is the
same old fellow who has bucked Hard
ing for years past. The greeting be-
tween the veterans will be very af-
fectionate
Turner, the right guard, Is like the
center, new at college, but veteran at
the game. The Grinnellites promise
That he will give Finlayson all he
wants to do. Price,, the left tackle
will be remembered as the man who
played right half during the first part
of last years game. He plays q
strong and aggressive game. Blodgett
at right tackle, Is another old man,
and will be well remembered.
The ends are the same, Coggeshell
and Armstrong, and it will take good
interference on the part of the Mime
sofa backs to circle their ends.
AT quarter, Mccartney does the act
He is a short, chunky fellow, with an
abundance Of nerve. He Is said to
have one great marked characteristic,
which is he never gets ratified. The
halves are Gray. the veteran, and
Mohr, a new man. Both are said to
be good ground gamers. The full back
is Burd, new both at the college and
at the game. This is the line-up Of the
team which will try to give Minnesota
as hard a rub as she had last year.
What Minnesota intends to do, in
fact, is not definitely known, but the
team. the coach and the students ex-
pect her to win hands down. So con-
fident are the students that bets are
being made that the Iowa team will
not score, and another that Minnesota
gets four times as many points as
the Grinnell aggregation.
Fulton will play center, Harding and
Finlayson the guards; the tackles will
be picked from Sperry, Tiegen, Jor-
gems, Heath, Parry, Smith; the ends
will be Harrison and Scandrett; Cole at
quarter; Bagley and Gilbert at the
halves; LOOMS at full.
This is the team that will line UP
against Grinnell at the new base ball
park at $3.50 o'clock this afternoon. It
will be struggle we'll worth seeing.

CAUGHT IN ST. PAUL. TOO.
Local Police Thought They Had the
Desperate Cyclists.

Desperate Cyclists.
Two young men, living at Eau
Claire, Wis, gave the Prior avenue
police considerable trouble Thursday
night. The young fellows, who had
ridden from Eau Claire during the day.
stopped at the residence of Mr.. Quin-
Ian at Hamline shortly after o'clock
Thursday night. One of the bikes had
broken and the young men asked If
they could leave the wheel there until
one of them could go to St Paul and
have the broken part repaired. One of
the occupants of the house at once ar
rived at the conclusion that the twain
were the bandits who had shot and
killed the two men at Sherburne. The
police at Prior avenue were notified
and q couple Of the finest, reinforced
by two detectives from the central sta
ton, planted near the house awaiting
the return OF the men. One of the
hicyclists journeyed on to Minneapolis
and the other returned to ST. Paul and
Gid not put in an appearance at the
Quinlan house until yesterday morn
ing. When he did so he was met by
the officers and It swassnot until he had
done considerable explaining that he
convinced the police that he had no
connection with the bank robbers.

Ransom & Horizons.

We have in for today's SELL
Ing, a new lot of Jackets, some
of the prettiest Jackets we have
seen this year. Irish Frieze is
extremely popular in the East
and garments made from it are
very suitab bic to this climate.
1t makes very neat, tasty coat
and is heavy, warm and dura-
bic. We have a full line in
Black and colors, and today we
offer a Jacket at $1,000 that we
doubt if any one would show
you its equal at $12.5O, and
$500 would not be too high.
True, we won't make any
money, but neither will we
lose. Some new numbers in
Kersey full Silk Lined in beau
tifully made Jackets are also
on sale today and at prices
much lower than the goods
ought to bring. We know that
"before election we must offer
Inducements to buyers, but
after Nov. 4th, the ladies will
find decided strong market,
scarcity of goods, and will have
to pay good stiff prices. This
week we have sold many Jack
cts to st. Paul and Minreapo-
lis under strong competition
and been told that we had I'M
usually swell effects at very
moderate prices. We want
your trade and you will find
our assortment the largest, our
styles good and prices low.
Try us.

If the ladies only knew how
bare the markets are of manu-
featured Furs and how difficult
they will find it next month to
get what they want lat any
price, we should be very busy
the balance of the month. Our
Collarettes at $1,000, $12. so and
$500 are certainly very pretty,
and we know they are cheaper
than any shown elsewhere.
Our SEAL JACKETS have
been greatly admired, and we
would advise anybody wanting
one to arrange for it now.
Prices $4,000, $225.OO and
$250.00. Our OTTER JACK
ETS we state boldly you can't
get duplicated in any store out
side of ours. We know we have
the most handsome skins and
darkest, best matched garments
in America. We always have
led on other and now excel all
previous seasons. Our ASTRA-
KHAN JACKETS at $500,
$45.00 and 5000 have all the
style and fit of our SWEETEST
cloth garments and are made Of
extra choice skins and by far
the incest we have had for
years. Our FUR LINED
CLOTH CAPES have been
great success. We can show
you full assortrnents at $500,
$1,000, $500 to $500. They
are great values and about as
sensible wrap as can be got.
FUR REPAIRS won't get any
attention unless brought very
soon, as we have taken an i'm
mense lot and our capacity
won't admit of many more.

A report has Just reached here that
a large posse of armed men has partly
surrounded the other robber near For
est City, Iowa. 1t Is said that the rob-
Der rode desperately and several shots
were exchanged between the bandit
and his pursuers, but he finally eluded
his would-be capturers. The posse con-
tinued the pursuit with good prospects
of success. Coroner Jensen has Just
arrived in Sherburne from the South
He reports that all northern Iowa Is
on the lookout for the bandit that is
still at large. Every road where he Is
liable to pass is guarded, making his
escape almost impossible. 1t was ex-
pected that the body Of the dead bandit
would reach here this evening. and
large crowds Of curious people from all
parts of the country came in to see
what could be SEEN. The body will
probably reach here tomorrow. where
1t will be taken In charge by Coroner
Jensen. There is mo truth in the ru-
NOR that the crime was actuated by
any other motive than robbery.
A brother Of Cashier Thorburn will
arrive here tomorrow and will remove
the remains to Ontario for burial.
Never since the days of the James
and Younger boys has such a dastardly
crime been committed and the swift
retribution to one of the fiends has
given universal satisfaction Four men
are now lying dead as the result of
the terrible tragedy which took place
here Wednesday, Thorburn, Oestern.

The nature Of the animal showed itself even
upon the eve of his departure for his new

But the Mothers Fear Of Her Sons Death
Was Realized.

Williamsport. Pa. Dec 3i.-A mothers
supposed premonition of her sons
death resulted in a somewhat uncanny
affair yesterday. !. II. Yorks, "a young
man, was brought to the hospital in this
city about three weeks ago from Oak
Grove. His case was hopeless. Satur-
day night there arrived over the Fall
Brook railroad an empty casket con-
signed to the hospital for Yorks' body.
He was not yet dead.
1t was learned that his aged mother
on Saturday had had what she sup
posed was a premonitiOn of her boys
death. and proceeded post haste to get
a coffin in which to bring his body
home. She was not much out of the
way. however. for Yorks died yesterday
afternoon and his remains We're today
shipped home in the prematurely- -pur-
chased cRsket.
