their hope of success. His spiel had the
desired effect, and like Spartacus to the
gladiators, his men left the rendezvous
filled with an enthusiastic determine.
ton to distinguish themselves on the
gridiron. The boys went back to their
hotel, ate hearty dinner, feeling con.
fident that victory was within their
grasp.
AS Leon is the home of Joe Warner,
one of stars of the S. U. |. team, the
entire population is interested in foo,
ball and was out to see the home team
wipe the earth with our boys. The
knowing ones said the score would be
ut least 80 to in favor of Leon. They
are wiser now. When the two teams
lined up to play, it must have seemed
like a battle between pygmies and giants
The big fellows expected to win in q
surprise when the first half ended with.
outa score for either side. When that
ponderous center with its $40 pounds of
humanity attempted a rush, our boys
dropped on their hands and knees, dug
their toes In the mud and there they
stuck, while their opponents sprawled
over their backs. Nothing could stop
the Leon formation any other way. Our
boys would have been swept off Their
feet. But they remembered Captain
Sutherland's instructions of the morn.
ing and neatly blocked every rush until
the Leon rooters began to look worried
Several of the Leon players had received
some hard jolts and gloom had begun tc
settle over their camp, when they re.
sorted to a trick play and secured 8
touchdown. They failed to kick goal.
By that time ou1 boys were so tired thai
they were glad when time was called, al
they had practically played their oppo
nents to standstill and compelled di
vision of honors. Then think of the
wonderful exhibition of nerve in goinf
into that game. 1t was next to surf
death if any member of the Leon team
had ever fallen squarely on Mt. Ayl
player, and it took some pretty lively
lodging to ward Oft that disaster. The
home team also had the encouragement
of thousand rooters, as against thre,
for Mt. Ayr. Before the game was over
however. the tide of popular favor hat
turned and our boys had friend il
every spectator. Every Mt. Ayr playe
| was star.
The winners acknowledge that the,
were hard pressed, and that the visitor
were regular surprise party. 1t was .
! clean stiff game throughout. The treat
ment of the Mt. Ayr team was very cor
dial, and the boys say they never had
better time. To say the least, Mt. Ay
has demonstrated that when it comes t,
football, some other club besides tina
which calls Leon it's home, will have tt

If the old saying about the first three
days of December ruling the winter is
correct, we are to have very mild
season. Saturday was bright, pleas
ant day, Sunday was a little cooler
and cloudy, but not cold, and Monday
was about the same, with Indications
of snow. If the winter continues this
way, it will not be very hard on the
coal pile. 1t might be we'll, however,
to be prepared for some cold weather,
as each winter usually gives US few
cold waves.

Murdered and Robbed.

Wakefield, Mass, Dec. 4.-John W
CrowelI, aged 81 met death last night
the police believe, at the hands O.
robbers, although there Is possibility
that he may have taken his own life
Shortly before 10 o'clock several pisto
shots were heard coming from the
stable of the Crowell premises. Mrs
Crowell rushed to the stable and heard
her husband cry: "He's gone and goI
my pocket book" Crowell was found
on the stable floor and taken into the
house. He lived about 10 minutes
He was in Boston yesterdag and sold
one of his lea routes for $500 which
money is now missing. Near where he
lay in the barn was a revolver, every
chamber of which was empty. The
weapon was the property of the dead
man. One bullet had entered near the
heart; another shot penetrated bis
body; another bullet dropped from the
clothing and q fourth was embedded
10 the stable walls. The fifth has not
been discovered. The revolver lay
about ten feet fiom where the wounded
man lay. A partly empty flask OF
Vhisky was 10 the barn while Mr..
Crowell is known to have been total
sbstanier. The police theory is that
the robbers followed Mr.. Crowell home
knowing be had money, that he drew
the revolver when they assaulted him;
that before he had time to fire the
weapon WAS wrestled from him and he
was killed, the murdersrs taking his
wallet and decamping. A watch and
small purse were left on his person.
The dead man is one OF the heirs to
the Crowell millions.
