of the judges on the occasion, testified
that C}illies, who owned the black mare
Leola, pulled Leola in the most DELHI
crate manner under the eyes of the
judges. The horse also came on the
track with her hind legs bandaged. The
witness gave it as his opinion that Leo
la could have won easily in a much
faster class than the one in which she
had been entered. The witness charg-
ed that Mayo had bundle of pool
tickets, and had importuned the Judges
to decide in favor of Bertolus, the prop

mitted having wagered on the horse
last named. The witness said he ala

race.

sumed. but the fan appeared to have

BURDEN GETS 1T.
Daley Must Wait Another
Year for Harvard Captaincy.

Cambridge, Mass, Dec. William A.
L. Burden, class Of 1900, who has played
left guard on this years eleven, was to-
day elected captain of the Harvard
varsity foot ball team for next year.
The election of Burden has been gen
orally expected at Harvard ever since
the Yale game, but outsiders thought
Daley. the quarterback, to be the ma
tural choice. The latter is extremely
young, and it was not thought best to
run the risk of spelling so good player
by giving him the heavy responsibility
of the captaincy.
This is Burdens first year on the
varsity eleven, but ne has played on
the second eleven since his freshman
year. Before this year he had not been
considered good enough for the var
sity team Burden is q years Old,
weighs 1870 pounds, and is 6 feet / inch
in height, He is the son of I. Townsend
Burden of New York, and received his
preparatory education at the Groton
school.

Death of j. s. McCardeII.

Our esteemed townsman, Mr.
j S McCardell, is no more. Death
came to his relief last Saturday
morning. 1t will be remembered
that on the Sth of last October he
was stricken with paralysis.
From that day he was almost as
helpless as a babe. At one time
he seemed some better but little
hope for his recovery was ever
entertained. He was a man of
wonderful constitution and though
he was great sufferer in his last
illness he bore up wonderfully
under it. This was his second
stroke of paralysis having had u
slight stroke two years previous.
James S McCar,lell was born
in Cedar Creek township, this
county, on the 25th day of August
