with the murder of 5-year-old Percy Lock-
var, was committed to prison to-day to
await the action of the coroner.
There seems little doubt now that Hen
derson brutally hacked the boy to pieces,
and before life was extinct. threw him in
Reddys creek, and weighted the child
down with heavy stones.
To-day's hearing was not without its sad
scenes. The boy apparently unconscious
of the extent of his crime, stared stolidly
at the magistrate. while his father knelt
bv his side and wept over and caressed
his boy. Mr.. Henderson believes his boy
guilty, but asserts that he is not in his
right mind. Samuel had an attack of ty-
nhold fever some years ago, and his faith
er maintains that he has acted strangely
ever since.

Shame on Centres Team,

The base ball team of Centre College
has disgraced by itself eowardice and
brought shame to every fair minded
friend of the orange and white. 1t is
the old story. "Get money, my son !;
get it honestly, if you can, but get
money, my son. ''We had hoped that
the ways that were dark and the tricks
that were vain, to which Centre re-
sorted in baseball in 'S5 and football
in 1928, had been repudiated by her
sons, as they had been almost forgot
ten and forgiven by us, and a new and
friendly feeling had begun to grow up
between the two institutions. But
Centre loves victory, and victory she
will have BY means, in this instance,
that threaten to disrupt the cordial re
lations existing between the two
schools. 1t was probably more than
Centre could stand this year, to be de-
feated in oratory and debate by her
young rival, G. u, SO she rushes a
picture off to tie Courier Journal

hopelessly lost to her IN the final

readers will perceive that Centre and
@. U. are tied for the championship,
with every indication that the latter
has the superior team. This last state
ment is borne out by the fact that Cen
trail University has played five more
games this year than her rival, and lost
but one of these, that to the Lex. Ath
Club to 6. But she retrieved her loss,
suffered by reason of the illness of her
Captain, Speed, by beating the same
team in return game last Saturday, 6

o. Centre has not shown her ability
thus against any team outside the col
lege league, whilst in it her work has
been vastly inferior to G. US, as this
summary will show.
