SEARCH FOR LOST MAN.
superintendent Egan, Of the Great
Great Northern Road, II Missing
in Wilds Of Montana.

st. Paul, Mimi, Nov. 10.-Superin-
tendent E. F. Egan, of the Great
Northern railroad, who went hunting
at Bolton, Mont. on Tuesday, has dis
appeared. Officials of the Great
Northern railroad are alarmed, and
President James J. Hill has directed
that 100 men be sent into the adjoin-
ing country to search for the missing
man. Superintendent Egan's private
car was sidetracked at Bolton Tuesday
afternoon. With him was a party Of
five friends. They started out to hunt
big game. The country abounds in
bear and mountain lions, and it is
feared he may have been overcome by
one OF more Of these beasts.
A telegram from Kalispell, received
by Great Northern officials, says that
it is not improbable that superintend-
ent Egan encountered the bandit who
held up the Great Northern train near
/ Drummond last week and robbed it
of several thousand dollars, and that
| the robber, thinking posse was after
him, may have killed the superintend-
| ent.
The so men sent out Thursday morn
ing returned Friday afternoon report
ing that they had obtained no trace OF
the missing man. Thereupon Pres
ident Hill ordered out all the available
men on the Kalispell division to hunt
for him.
A heavy snowstorm set in after the
party started on the hunt, obliterat'
ing all trails, and for this reason nc
trace of Egan can be found. His pri
vate car is still standing on the side
track at Bolton, where his five guest,
are awaiting tidings of the lost man
At Great Northern headquarters IL
St. Paul it is believed he has persisted

Brutal Sport.

1t may border upon the impious to
object to so strenuous and warlike
game as foot ball; yet a protestsprings
to the pen point, as it were, when one
reads such accounts of foot ball games
as the following news reportof game
at Danville, III on the 10th ut:
The Central University foot ball
team returned home to-day from Nash
vile, where they played Vanderbilt
yesterday. The team was so badly
crippled by the game that it was COM
PEELED to cancel the game with Sc
vance, which was to have been played
Monday, and lay up for repairs. Cheek
halfback, has broken ankle; Hugely,
halfback, has a broken collar bone;

II this sort of thing is to become
characteristic of our universities,
what place can they be regarded as
holding in the education Of youth?
Has our civilization fallen so COM
pletely under the dominion Of the
devilish spirit of Success and the
evolution of the strenuous life,"
that humane ideals are being supplan-
ted in our universities by such savage
games as that described above? We
