TWO STANFORD ATHLETES
Men That Will Contest With
Berkeley Next Saturday
Afternoon.
Fickert, the Football Captain and
Hammer.Thrower, and Reynolds,
the Hurder.

| While it is generally conceded that the
annual intercollegiate field day TO be held
on the Olympic grounds next Saturday
afternoon will result in another victory
for the Berkeley athletes, the University
! of California team is aware that it has
some unknown material to oppose from
Stanford University, where the men have
been saying nothing and saving wood.
As usual, it is to be contest for points,
first, second and third places to count 5, 2
and 1, respectively.
Though the State University has even
better team than the one that distin-
gulshed itself i'll the East last year the
Stanford men declare that the chances of
the cardinal are better nov than they were
in any of the three preceding meets, as
there has been regular Improvement
each year. They estimate their probable
points and say that if they are lucky Sat-
urday may record big surprise in coast
athletics.

ford hurdler and high jumper. Last year
in his maiden race he won the intercoI-
legiate championship in the low hurdles.

forced to exert himself to his utmost, so it
is not known what he may be able to do
when pressed hard by Torrey of the
Berkeley team, the hurdler that created
such surprise in the East. Reynolds will
also run in the high hurdles and will be
Stanford's best representative in the high
jump. He is feet 10 inches in height and
strongly built, his legs being very grace
fully developed. While at the Oakland
High School he was considered a crack
gymnast but it was not until his Junior
year at college that he attempted heavier
athletics. Just as he gave promise DUR
ing the training season of '94 OF being
star halfback and. excelling his brother
Jack, the speedy Varsity half, he broke
his collar bone and afterward turned hi.
attention to hurdling and jumping. Last
November he again went into football,
and in one of the early Varsity games
broke the other collar bone. He then con-
cludeo to go out of the bone breaking
business and devote the remainder of his
senior year to an attempt at record
breaking.
Fickert, captain of the Stanford Varsity
eleven for next fall. is big fellow,
over feet inches in height and
weighing in the neighporhood of 200
pounds. He came from Tehachapi
and in his freshman year was generally
known by that name. But after the big
determined country boy became Varsity

MRS. HILLS COMPLAINT.

Counter Charges Against the Musician
in His Suit for Divorce.
Emily Grace Hill, the actress, has filed
an answer and cross-complaint against
John 7. Hill, the musician, in his suit for
divorce.
Hill was suing for divorce on the
ground of desertion. He was musical di-
rector for the DeWolf Hopper company,
and while here some few months ago he
filed his suit.
In her answer the defendant denies the
charges of desertion, and then in a cross

desertion, failure to provide and inridelity.
She demands $3.50 month alimony and
$2500 due on loan to her husband.
Edith Terrington Woodcocks is named
in the cross-complaint as correspondent.

Windsor County, Contrary to Prediction,
 Gives the Heaviest Majority.
 White River Junction, Sept. 2.-Cor- rected returns are at hand from all but nine small towns. The total vote was:
 For governor, Grout, rep, 52,566; Jackson, dem.. 14,646; Battell. pop, 621; whittemore, pro-, 572; Grout's plurality, 37 ,820; majority, 36,787.
 In 1892 the same towns gave Fuller, rep, 3S,2S9 Smalley, dem., 1S,902; all others, 1,721. Fuller's plurality, 19,S36; majority, 17,615. Republican gain 19,172 or still 110 per cent.
 The nine towns not reported gave in 1892:
 Fuller, rep, 717; Smalley, dem.. BIT; all others, 29 Fuller's plurality, $40; majority over all, 3l1. If the same per- centage is maintained in the vote of these towns this year as in the towns reported the republican majority in the state will be 37,44O or 9,SS2 above pre- vious high-water mark.
 Windsor county, which it was claimed would cut the republican candidate largely because it's candidate for guber- material honors, Speaker William ". Stickney of Ludlow, was defeated in the convention, shows the largest per- centage of republican gain and the largest majority of any county.

the doubtful states this year: II have
never known an election in any state

that way this fall. The opportunities
to use money effectively have passed

BITTER ATTACKS MAKING sUPT.
SCARF POPULAR

The Republican campaign managers
have been to considerable trouble and
expense in getting out reprint Of the
cards used by j. II. Scarr announcing
his candidacy before the Republican
convention. II by this It is sought to
establish the fact that prior TO the ST,
Louis convention Searr was Repub-
lican II is needless expense, for no
fact Is better known in Logan county
than that.
In Mr.. Scarr's paper, the Mulhall
Enterprise, OF June 20, the FIRST issue
after the St. Louis convention, he pub
licly renounced his allegiance to the
Republican party and withdrew his
name from the consideration OF that
convention.
Since that time he has never been
accused Of being Republican except
by Republicans, who hope thereby TO
induce the free silver Populists and
Democrats 10 defeat him at the polls,
On the contrary he has been on the
stump almost continuously since
the ST. Louis convention against
the Republican party and the
un-Amerlean, gold standard, high pro-
tective policy OF that party, Some of
the very best arguments and most
well-directed campaign documents
have come from him, and, so far in
the campaign, he has not missed an
appointment or failed to make con
verts wherever he has spoken. His
interest in reform work was so marked
that his friends and neighbors reeog-
nized his value in this campaign and
petitioned han to be a candidate on
the fusion ticket lie finally consent
ed 10 the use Of his name, but publicly
said that he could probably be Of more
service to the cause and party without
being a nominee. The party thought
otherwise and il developed that he
was the most popular candidate tor
any ofice, and will be elected at the
head OF the ticket, hence the virulent
attacks made upon him by the servile
Republican press and tools. The
LEADER firmly believes that every new
attack only makes him more popular
and will increase his majority over
the incompetent champion Of mixed
schools and three-month school terms,
whose name now disgraees even the
Republican ticket
