The Princeton Harvard game win ex-

the year has been somewhat better than
Harvard 5. The Tigers have been no
worse than tied while the crimson
players have been beaten Judging by
their scores against Cornell and the
Indians too, Princeton has the better
of Harvard In actual team conditions,
though, the press reports show little
advantage on either side. Harvard s

What the Quakers will be able to do
with the Indians is purely conjecture
If the red men play as they have of

they are liable to a second defeat.

Fort Scott, Nov. 5.-One Of the most

driving along on their way by street
when they met the gang who refused
to get out of the road as the team APP
preached The horses turned to one
side but ono of them brushed against
one of the fellows At this the fellows
it is claimed. grabbed the two men,
pulled them from the wagon and beat
them numerically with brass knuckies-
The police were called and Chief Rob
erson and Officer COpes chased the fell
lows some distance north OF town but
could not catch them.
Later the gang returned to the
slaughter house near the junction and
assaulted a SWede named Olson, and
robbed him of a silver watch. Win
Anderson who works at the slaughter
house saw the assault and started to
assist olson He struck the fellows
several severe blows but they We're too
many for him and he was knocked
down and his pockets rifed.
in the afternoon the fellows were seen
