followed by the sending of nearly 5000
troops there, put an effectual stop to

ready for any emergency
Saloons are all closed and martial law
prevails
It develops this morning that only one
person, Mike Yuckavage, was killed out
right in last evenings shooting here.
Annie KOontz, who 1t was supposed was
shot to death, recovered consciousness
some hours after the bullet struck her in
the back of the neck and is today in
fair way of ultimately getting well.
The town council appointed over 800
special policemen to serve during the
night and in consequence everything
passed off peaceably.
Edward Clark, who was shot below

bullet was extracted and he is improv-

in this manner received the wound.

SCOTCH TO KICK.

The Scotchmen are very enthusiastic
over the formation of a Scotch Associa-
ton football team and by the courtesy of
the Scottish Thistle Club are to meet for
that purpose in lne rooms Of the club on
Monday night at 7:30 o'clock
The game cannot flourish unless at least
three teams are formed, and 1t is to be
hoped that this will be done at once
There are surely enough Englishmer in
town to form team to represent the Rose
and although the game is little known
il the United States it is easily learned
and there are one or two excellent foot
ballers here who would form the nucleus
OF good team to uphold the fame of the
Stars and Stripes.
Players Of the intercollegiate game
would soon pick up Seeker and would
find 1t to be a very interesting and scien-
tific- game and one which is peculiarly
well suited to our warm climate

severance, quick to form and act upon de-
cision. and of sound staying powers.
The half-back line consists of three
players: Center right and left, and to
each is delegated special duty. The
work of the half naturally fall into two
parts-his defensive and his offensive play.
In defense the right and left halves
each look after the opposing wing of the
attacking forwards, being alert to inter-
cept their passing and to break up their
combination. The center half marks the
opposing center forward. The halves
should work in combination with their
own backs and always be ready to assist
them. This is chiefly accomplished by re-
ceiving the charge of the attacking for
wards and warding them off to allow the
back to play the ball. If pressed by the
forwards they should again and again re-
turn to the attack and. not remain help
lessly waiting for the ball to come back
t. them.
In attack the halves combine with their
own forwards, following them in their
advance and helping lnem wherever pos
sible. Having obtained the ball, the half
must not kick it wildly from him but en-
deavor to give 1t to one Of his own for
wards. This Is a most important point
and adds wonderfully to the value of a
half. A little Judgment in careful passing
and flooding the forwards" will often
convert a comparatively useless half into
a valuable player.
From what has been said X will be
seen that the demands upon a half are by
no means light. He must be ever at hand
to assist his forwards and ever ready to
retreat to support his backs. To do this
requires a great amount Of running
about, but this must always be with def
mite object In view and never purpose
less. 1t Is the duty of the half to be on
the spot to throw in the ball from touch.
THE "OFF-SIDE" RIFLE
When player kicks the ball, or
throws 1t from touch any one of the
same side who. at such moment of kick
Ing or throwing, is nearer to the oppo-
nents goal line is out of play, and may
not touch the ball himself. nor in any way
Whatever prevent any other player from
doing so until the ball has been played
unless there are at such moment of kick
ing or throwing at least three of his cp-
ponents nearer their own goal line, but
no player is out of play in the case of a
corner kick, or when the ball Is kicked
from the goal line or when it has beer
last played by an opponent"
A careful perusal of the above rule will
co much to remove great source of diff
ficulty to new players. 1t should be not
ed that when player is out of play-"off
/, side'-he not only may not touch the bal
himself but may not impede any one from
doing so. Any attempt to do this will a
; orce bring the forfeit of a free kick.
1t should also be noted that when one,
a man is "off-side" he cannot be put il
J ly played by the opposite side. Again, i
a man has followed the ball down thu
field, the ball may be passed back to hin
BIZ one of his own side irrespective of tn
