Wisconsin football squad last night,
and, after being thrown into the cold
waters of Lake Mendoza, was ordered
to get out of town on the first train.
The Wisconsin team itself threw the
spy into the lake, and the deepest in

and student body at the unsportsman-

him here, if he was sent This rep

South Dakota Woman Celebrates 4
... Centurv's Existence.

Mitchell, S. D., Nov. 12-Mrs. James
Colvin of this city was 100 years old
yesterday. She celebrated the centen-
nial by having her picture taken, 60
ing herself to the gallery, and by a
quiet little dinner at the home of her
son, John Colvin. Physically she is
still quite rugged, being able to dress
herself, walk about the house and
yard. She reads considerably, but be-
mg Of old Covenanter stock, chooses
her Bible for literary companionship
rather than modern writings. Her
memory is poor and it is not unusual
for her to ask the whereabouts of her
husband, who died about two years
ago.

SWALLOWS A WATCH.
Prima Donna Has a Timepiece in Her
Intestines.

Quincy, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-Maude Lillian
Berri primadonna of "The Sultan of
Sulu" company, was taken i'll during
the Saturday night performance. She
was attacked with severe pains in her
abdominal regions. Sunday evening
she was placed under the x-rays in
charge of one of the leading physicians
here, and it was discovered that
Swiss timepiece about the size of a
quarter was lodged in her intestines.
She fell asleep with the miniature
timepiece in her hand at Keokuk last
Friday, and it had been missing ever
since. The supposition is that she
swallowed it during her nap. AS re-
suit Of her peculiar experience Miss
Berri will be incapacitated for several
days, although she was able to leave
the city last evening.

Chicago last night for Oklahoma, New

Minnesota Spies.

He cannot be located, and it is be-
lieved he has been scared out Of town.
David Annis, one of the student guards
last night, discovered Robertson on a
street car running by the golf grounds.
Annis at once thought that Robertson
might be spy and he questioned him
closely. Robertson replied that he
was stranger in the city and was
going out to the cemetery. When he
got near the golf grounds Robertson
left the car and Annis followed him.
Before they proceeded far they. ran
across Milo Muckelston, another stu
dent guard, and the latter recognized
Robertson as member of the Mime
sofa track team with whom he had
contested last spring.
: Robertson was taken before Coach
King and finally admitted his identity.
He was sent to the city under a guard
and after dinner the team took him to
the lake. and gave him cold ducking
and ordered him out of the city. Rob-

SHOULD HAVE DAMAGES.

A gentleman OF the city has a CON-
plant coming. About three weeks
ago he started to church. There was
q mudhole in the sidewalk and he
thought he would walk around 1t.
In dong SO he stepped into IA hole
which was covered with grass. He
fell and striking the ground on his
breast came near knocking the breath
out of him. 1t bruised him up con-
siderably and from the shock he has
since taken the rheumatism with
which he has been partly laid ever
since.
He is on quandary what to do
about. 1t, feeling that he is entitled
to some damages for sustaining such
serious injuries, and he began to gel
advice from his friends. One sug.
gested that he sue the city, but ht
does not believe that he could recov
