Smarting under the inability to score
against Delaware College last year,
Swarthmore College, at swarthmore,
yesterday afternoon defeated the New
ark footballists by the score Of II
to 0.
Swarthmore lost no opportunity to
advance the ball. Every player was
toned up to the point of scoring vic
tory. On the other hand, the Delaware
players were lighter and seemed 10
lack the vim and determination that
characterized their playing against the
Pennsylvania Military College at Ches-
ter last Saturday The only time
throughout the game when they played
with snap. the ball was forced down the
field on a 25-yard run Of Hartman
and ten yards of Mitchell to within five
yards of Swarthmore's goal. Here Far
Quhar, after SwarthmOre had held for
four downs, kicked tr G. pail to the centre
of the field
Early in the game Delawares plucky
quarterback, Huxley, received a bad
cash on the head, but resumed play af-
ter the wound had been dressed.
VOLTS kicking was almost equal to
that of Farquhar, who is considered
one of the best punters on the grid
iron to-day. Swarthmore's gains were
made by repeatedly rushing the big

the line. He was the only sure ground

MRS. COBURN'S DIAMOND
Believed to Be in the Hands of
the Minneapolis Police.
HOBO TRIED TO SELL IT
He Claims to Have Picked It Up in q
Montana Town-He Asked 50 for
1t, While It Is Worth $125.
Queer Circumstances.

Great Falls, Oct. 11-Mrs. William
coburn of this city is fairly on the road
to the recovery of valuable diamond
and pearl pin. She lest it in this city
about two weeks ago, advertised her
loss in the local papers, but the pin
did not return. A few days later the
Minneapolis papers contained local
Item concerning a hobo picked up on
the street by the police. He was wan
derlng about offering to sell strangers
handsome looking pin for 50. All
those whom he tackled were wise guys,
and they passed him up with a laugh.
The last one told policeman the story
and the hobo was taken to jail, where
1T was found that the pin was really
valuable. A local jeweler offered SIPS
for 1t, and the police began to chuckle
at the wise guys. OF course it had been
stolen, and they had the thief. The lat
ter said he had picked it up on the
streets of Montana town.
Then the cops laughed some more,
Winked at each other and said, willie,
you'll have to board with US for time
till we look up your pedigree and get
tat laughing at your jokes. Then you
may have to board with us some more"
And they patted themselves on the
pack and went home and told their
laHilileS now ny they were. About that
time Chief Gaerin received a letter
from the police department of Mime
apolis stating the case and repeating
the hobo's story that he had found the
jewel in Great Falls The chief hunt
ed for some one who had lost such
pin. and was finally told of Mrs Co.
burn. She furnished a description
which was wired to Minneapolis with
instructions to hold the pin and turn
the hobo loose. A reply came that
st. Paul woman claimed the pin, and
had furnished fair description of it,
more detailed description was asked
of Mrs. Coburn. That has been fur
nished and will go forward tonight
There seems to be hardly a doubt Of
the ownership particularly when the
statement Of the hobo is considered, so
it is probable the pin will return in the
course of few days.
There is reward of $40 offered for
the recovery Of the trinket and an in
teresting problem is to find the person
on whom the laugh comes. Is it the
hobo, who. by exercising a little hon
esty, could have received 500 and saved
himself trouble? The men who lost 500,
or, If they We're dishonest or fortune
favored them. perhaps s125, by being
too wise to get caught on supposed
phony jewelry? Or is it the cops, who,
rejoicing in their superiority over either
OF the above, congratulated themselves
on having caught a dangerous thief?
No reward is offered for the first cor
rect solution of this puzzle.

Great Falls, Oct. 11-Thomas Bost-
wick was held to the district court un-
der $500 bonds for grand larceny. Bost-
wick, who is colored man, is accused
OF stealing some trinkets from J. A.
sweat last summer. Four experts were
put on the stand, but their testimony
as to the value Of the stuff varied from
323 to $110.
Joseph Weinberger testified that he
was a secondhand dealer and that
Bostwick had sold him a gold ring
which contained an opal and two small
diamonds as a setting. He paid Bost-
wick SIS for the ring and in a few DAYS
sold it. Bostwick also tried to sell him
the watch, but wanted too much for it,
Mr.. Weinberger examined the watch
and thought it was worth about SIS.
l.. Solomon testified that he, too, was
dealer in secondhand goods He
bought the watch and the ring from
Bostwick about Sept. II. He paid IS
for the watch and 81 for the ring When
asked what the articles were worth
Solomon placed value of about $50 on
the watch and 50 on the ring
Frank e. Powell, the jeweler. was
called as an expert witness and testified
that in his opinion the watch was worth
about $40 and the ring sold to Solomon
was worth $3.50.
Miss Dgloff was also called as an ex-
pert witness and testified that she had
repaired the ring sold to Weinberg r
and that 1t had two small diamonds,
about a quarter of a carat each, and
an opal to match. She considered the
ring worth from $50 to $65. On an ex-
animation of the watch Miss Egloff con-
sidered that 1t was worth $50.
The defense introduced no witnesses
and the only question for the Judge to
decide was whether to hold the prisoner
for grand larceny or find him guilty of
petty larceny. His honor finally aver
aged the whole amount up, divided it
by five and held Bostwick to await the
action Of the district court.
