The football game between the juniors
and sophomores at the o. A. c. last Sat
urday, was very good considering the
brief practice and the warm day. The
Junior players were somewhat heavier
than their opponents and their interfer-
ence was better-in fact that part of
their work was surprisingly well done,
but the score II to o in favor of the jun
iors shows that both elevens played
ball" The game demontrated that the
college has material for strong team,
and under Coach Bloss' Instructions the
boys ought to win the championship cup

last Monday convinced him of this be-

buggy at Elgin's stable and drove ont
about ten miles into the country. Re.

dropping somewhat, but it showed 10

been drawing the whole populist party

= Roy Avery, whose fine imposed
by the city police courts, is still unsatis-
fed, came into town Sunday afternoon
and figured i. lively episode on Second
street. He was in buggy with Billy
Williams and Chief Wells, espying him,
grabbed enc of the horses by the bits
and ordered Avery to surrender. The
latter, however, seizing the lines. whip
ed the horses and endeavored to force
the chief to let 60. After some little
maneuvering Avery jnmped out of the
buggy and started up Madison street to
Third, where Billy Harmon and Herbert
Pygall, in 4 buggy, waited for him.
Wells was right after him. but Avery
gained the buggy in the nick of time,
and Harmon drove out of town in dead
run. In consequence there is warrant
