Northwestern was in good physical con-

and executed attack and Northwestern did
not have enough experienced players to
stop their opponents plunges. To hold Ne

suit" II
Booth, Nebraska's coach, said:
Nebraska did not play its game today,
but Northwestern put up such a surprising
front that a high score was out Of the
question. Our left end was weak, but with
shedd in the game, we would have held
Northwestern safe at all times. Nebraska
carried the ball over for a third touch

RIPPED UP WITH A KNIFE.
Things were tragic on the lumber
deck. When the Captain went back to
the galley to look for the boy he found
him seated in the cooks galley. Stories
differ as to whether the cook was there
but it is said he was. The CAPTAIN
told the boy to go and do his work.
Instantly the boy pulled a big butcher
knife from under his coat and made
lunge for his commander Captain

who was in the fo'castle. There Is a
little panel between the cooks galley
and the crews quarters which is used
to pass food through and the French
man Immediately opened this.
What he saw would make the blood
of the strongest of men run cold. He
could see all but was unable to get
through the panel to assist the Captain.
Captain Jacobson had the boy by the
shoulders and was asking for the
knife, The boy pulled him into the
donkey room where the passage way
was only two and one-half feet wide
and slashed right and left at the
powerfully built master. The Captain
again got him by the shoulders and
quick as lightning the boy bent to his
knees and run his knife right up
through the Captains body. The Cap
tain fell over the Jap. Blood spurted
on the little assassin underneath and
in a moment the whole ships crew and
Mrs. Jacobson were on the scene.
The Captain was carried up through
the lumber pile and laid on deck but
nearly all the blood had left his body
and he was quite dead.
Then crazy scenes ensued. A sailor
saw the knife sticking in the Captains
body. With Wild shout he pulled 1t
out and threw 1t far out into the sea.
The Captains wife was PROSTATE over
the body. The sailors. who are a very
mixed lot of all nationalities. loved the
Captain well and appreciated his noble
character, so they were soon surging
about the Jap murderer and In a mo-
ment would have thrown the scroundrel

blood soaked clothing the Jap was
dropped into hole near the miZZen
mast about eight feet down in the
lumber and about six feet by four in
size. The other Jap kept out of sight
while the hysterical woman with her
own hands bathed the blood from the
Captains body and would have kept
working on ii for hours had the crew
not put her in the cabin.
1t was at once decided that the vessel
should go to Honolulu. Mrs. jacobson
was in the most trying position in
which a woman could be placed but
she rallied quickly and straightaway
commanded that the japanese cook
whom she claims is partly responsible
for the crime, be relieved of his duties.
She gave instructions for the taking of
any remaining blood from the Cap
tain's body and for a crude method of
embalming it. Alcohol was poured
down the dead mans throat and other
methods Of preservation We're used.
Then the remains were placed In
