DE PAW STUDENTS WIN.
Faculty Backs water ON Its Anti
Football Decision.

Special to the indianapolis Journal.
GREENCASTLstg, Ind, Oct. 5.-The facul
ty senate of De Paw tonight decided that
Williamson, who had been ruled off the
football team, should be allowed to enter
the university with no restrictions what
ever. Captain Roller appeared before the
senate and with absolute proof showed that
Williamson had never received any compen-
sation for his work The senate then de-
cided that he should enter and that he had
not violated any athletic rules. President
Goblin was seen this evening and stated that
the opposition to Mr.. Williamson on his
part had been based on a charge that the
players board had been paid by others and
that he regarded that a remuneration and
a violation of the athletic rules, which were
very strict on that point. 1t was shown and
absolutely proved, he said, to the senate
by Captain Roller that the money paid was
Mr.. Williamson and all concerned. There
was no other objection to the player and,
while there had been rumors Of various
kinds, the one transaction was the only
charge that had been preferred or consid-
cred. This being so thoroughly cleared up
by Captain Roller and the association the
senate decided that there had been no viola
ton of the rules by Williamson and that
he was not professional and that he would
be allowed to enter the university and take
his position on the football team
The decision was received with great
satisfaction by the students, though there
was no demonstration of any kind, they be-
lieVing that they had been merely given
their rights Their college spirit and loyalty
to the university is stronger than ever The
and enthusiastic delegations will accompany
the team.

BALTIMORE WON SECOND
BOSTON OUTPLAYED BOTH AT THE
BAT AND IN THE FIELD.
Good Pitching by COrbett at Critical
Stages of the Game-Attendance
1000 Less than First Day.

BOSTON, Oct. 5.-The second game in the
Temple cup series was. like the first, dis
tiIguished by terrific batting by both mines,
but to-day the Baltimores came out ahead
through their ability to get in the hits when
they were most needed while Corbett,
though hit hard, held the home team down
at critical times. The game was much more
interesting and exciting than that of yes
terday, and the home team was very much
in it up 20 the last inning, when it fell down
woefuly, though safe hit would have
tied the score. No ground rules him
dered the long hits, and the players, get
ting the full worth of their drives ran the
bases daringy, without fear of being called
back. This added not little to the game
and delighted the crowd beyond measure.

GreaVes rode straight into the small knot
of tribesmen who were still on the plain,
under a very heavy fire from those on the
hill. Poor Greaves was shot almost instant
ly, and fell to the ground, and Colonel
Adams and Lord Eincastle at once dashed
in to rescue him from the Chats. who were
hacking with their swords at his PROSTATE
body. 1t was at this juncture that Captain
Palmers horse was killed and he himself
received a bullet through the right wrist.
AS Colonel Adams and Lord Fincaste
dashed up the Ghazis retreated from the
body ana began firing at them from dis
lance of about twenty yards, while the enc

bullets Lord Fincastle's horse was shot
and several bullet holes We're found
afterward in his saddle. and his
How he and Colonel Adams escaped
appears a miracle. Lord Fincastle en-
deavored to raise poor Greayes's body on to
Colonel Adams's saddle, but found himself
unable to do so, and, a rush OF Ghazis COM
ing down the hill at the moment, Colonel
Adams moved a few yards to the right to
intercept them. Lord Fincastle then dropped
the body and stood over it until the arrival
of the two sowars. While one Of the latter
was assisting Lord Fincastle to raise
Greaves a bullet passed through his chest,
and it was this that killed him, as he had
hitherto been breathing, though uncon-
scious. All this time Colonel adams sat
quietly on his horse, guarding the others
as far as he could from the hot fire kept
up by the enemy, which now killed one OF
the SOwarS horses.
Meanwhile Lieutenant MacLean, having
guided the remainder of the squadron under
cover of the neighboring clumD OF trees,
dashed out to the rescue with three sowars.
Two horses were at once shot; Lieutenant
MacLean dmounted, and with his help
Lieutenant Greaves's body was at length
raised on to a sowar's saddle and borne
safely away. All now made off toward the
trees. Lieutenant MacLean and Lord Fin
castle on foot and on the way the former
was shot through both thighs, was helped
under cover but died almost at once from
loss of blood Colonel Adams's horse mean
while was wounded. and he himself re-
ceived a sword cut in the right hand. Thus
the losses during the few minutes when
these events occupied were two Brltlsn
officers killed and two wounded, and TOUR
horses killed and two wounded Both Colonel
Adams and Lord Fincastle displayed great
courage in their determined rescue OF poor
Greaves, unhappiy dead and the GOODNESS
of the former while resolutely protecting
the others as far as lay in his power, py
interposing himself between them ana the
Ghazis, cannot be too highly praised

estimate of the enemy's loss during the
battle Of Landikai 1t was first put down
at about $50, but news has since been re-
caived from various VILLAGES ana from
Buner from which it would apear that they
must amount to several hundred, as might,
indeed, be expected from the heaVy aruiiely
fire to which they were exposed.
