heard one of the doors would fly open
and refuse to stay shut. The car
penters stood it for a time, but finally
pulled out for Belle Plaine, and have
refused to continue work. The old
house was said to have been, in the
early days of the country's settlement,
the house of a family of apparent
wealth and refinement, who did not
mingle with their neighbors and were
regarded with suspicion.
One day the husband and children
were seen driving to Wichita without
the woman, and the story gained cur
rency that she had been murdered, and
the place has been regarded as haunted
by her ghost ever since.

Lawrence, Kan. Nov. 23.-While the
score by which the Haskell Indians de-
feated the Ottawa university football
eleven here Friday afternoon was not as
large as that of the game played carrier
in the season, the result was decisive
enough, the final score being IL to in
contest was Is to 0. The Indians played
to save their men for the Thanksgiving

own way pretty well throughout and

and ran their ends for good gains repeat

themselves weak on defense. and the OF
tawa team had no trouble at times, pl0W-
ing great holes through the, line The
eleven resorting to punting to avoid that
line plays on the last down. The Indian
team did not show the perfect Interior
play at the earlier stages of the seasons

than the Indians are accustomed to make.
The Indian backs played the star game,
on the line and around the ends while
Miguel plunged into the line for good
more to make a hole, and the ball given
to Falls to follow him than in past
IRE of the game. Falls did great work in
advancing the ball, and Oliver and Prick

play of the day was long run by Archi,

lowed an interference by Miguel, Dugan
and Falls and scurried across the field
for IS yards and touchdown soon after
the play began in the second half. The
Ottawa team had a new man, Chase, at
quarter, and this prevented something of
the usual snap in the game, but he played
a fairly good game, while Baughman
King and Kerns were used to advance the
bail. The Ottawa team was better on de-
tense than in the game earlier in the sea-
son, but otherwise the work of the team
had shown little Improvement. The In
dams did not have to play as hard as
they did with Kansas two weeks ago, and
the result was never in doubt for sec
two weeks ago. The score at the end of
the first half was to O. Dugan carrying
