The Marshalltown Athletic Club foot
ball eleven went to Liscomb this morn
ing, where this afternoon they met a
picked eleven from among Liscomb and
Bangor players. The local team did not
get together the team that it intended,
and made the trip more for practice
game before the Thanksgiving game
than anything else. Those who went
were Huber, as center; Cross and Scott
guards; Lounsberry and Watson,
tackles; Diehl and Dieterich, ends; Rey-
nolds and Eckman, halves; Norman,
quarter; and Moore. full. The substi-
tutes were Duncan and Dixon. It is
likely the arrangements for the Thanks
giving day game will be settled upon
by this evening. The management
has been trying to get the Waterloo
town team to meet the local eleven, but
Il the Waterloo players can not come the
second team Of the Iowa State College,
Ames. Will be played.

Loses Case Growing Out Of
Closing Of Comfort ST.

The following opinion has been hand

cause of trustees of Mathewson Street

Shepard, Jr., ct. al, the controversy
Being over the closing OF Comfort
street. SO that Mr.. Shepard could
build over the same:
Per curiam. The only title TO relief.
which the complainants state in their
bill is the obstruction of the light
which would come to their church edi-
fee but for the proposed closing Of the
strip of land called Comfort street.
THE title to an easement in light Is
not adequately set forth in the bill, and
the almost uniform current of authori-
~ in this country is that such an ease-
ment cann,t De acquii ed by prescrip-
ton, but only by covenant or special
grant. AS the complainants show no
title to relief, we do not see that they
are in a position to question the legality
OF the proceedings for the abandonment
Of Comfort street as a public high
way. Our opinion is. therefore, that
the demurrer should be sustained

AN ANCIENT GRAVEYARD.

For many wears II has been known
that prehistoric burying ground was
located on the Thomas Cartmill farm.
now owned by Samuel III Marshall.
down on Gunpowder. Small bones, such
as teeth, etc. have been found there
years ago, but not until last week did
the graves begin TO give up the skeletons
they had sepulchred for ages upon ages.
This ancient burying ground Is In a piece
OF bottom land, but few yards from
the creek, and has been cultivated for a
time to which the mind of man runneth
not to the contrary, says the Burlington
KY, Record. and often in the past has
the creek overfiowed the entire field, each
soil, until now the plowshare tears up
the skeletons and brings them to the
surface. The graves were excavated
north and south. and are several In
number. over the bones Is layer OF
burnt rock-burnt nearly to lime, and

N broken to pieces, while In many In
stances the bones would crumble. Some
think the skeletons are of race of peo-
pie whose presence In this country ante

chose the highest points of the land and
then built great mounds OF earth and
stone over the graves. One popularity
