Mrs. Sechrest is the widow OF Frank
Sechrest, who was killed by DR.. zorn at
Kansas City three months ago in a dis
pute over a board bill. On this charge DR..
zorn was to have been tried today with
the woman as chief witness.
On discovery OF the note the river was

woman's in town. 1t was re-
ported later from Kansas City that she
came here with her sister. Mrs. C. Z. Berry

ISLANDERS ARE TOO HEAVY
Doane College Defeated on Home
Ground I'm - Fierce Game of
Foot Ball.

CRETE, Neb.. Nov. 1L--(Special Tele-
gram. )-After sixty-eight minutes OF play
Ing in the fercest game of foot ball wit,
messed in CFAte for many a day., Grand
Island marched across Doane's goal line
TO victory today. Beef won the game for
Grand Island, it's men averaging fifteen
pounds heavier than the defenders of the
orange and black. Notwithstanding this
great disadvantage, Doane put up a fierce
fight and more than once endangered It's
opponents goal line. The game was devoid
OF sensational plays, the largest gain of
the day being a t~wenty-yard run by Cap
tain Fuhrer around Grand Islands left
end. Both sides fumbled freely. Punting
was necessarily resorted to quite frequently
and this was OF an unusually poor order,
largely on account of the wind.
The first half was very closely contested,
with the ball hanging hands with great
regularity on downs and being forced back
and forth at the center of the field. Hav-
ing the wind in its favor, Grand Island
by punting neared Doanes goal lines twice
and each time tried a drop kick for goal,
but failed, The first half ended just after
Grand Islands second attempt at a drop
kick, neither side having gained any notice
Fumbles by which each side lost the ball
occurred at the very beginning of the
second half. AS line bucking was too slow,
each team resorted to punting, Wendland
easily out punting Grand Islands kicker.
After almost twenty-five minutes of play
Grand Island secured the ball on Doane's
forty-ive-yard line and prohting by a
| penalty imposed on Doane for an off-side
play, began a series of terrific revolving
mass plays, which the Doaneites were un-
able TO check. By slow, steady gains the
visitors marched down the field and across
the goal line. with but two minutes time
of play remaining, Goal was kicked. Doane
kicked of to the visitors and getting pos

Rowe Case stiII Alive.

The board was awakened to an upnIass.
ant realization that even the report Of the
special committee did not close the John

and it's expert mechanical engineer-to saw
nothing OF the hours and hours spent by

by the board are not satisfactory to Mr..
Rowe and there must be still further nego-
tiations. The attorneys in their letter take
up the terms offered by the board in a
specific manner presenting argument TO
show that the omissions on the part OF
the contractor were due to fault in the
specifications. 1t is suggested that the mat
ter be settled by arbitration and A. N.
Ferguson is named as arbitrator on be-
half OF Mr.. Rowe with the request that
the board also name a man and that the
two then name a third. As there was evil

Sam Small's Collapse.

Rev. Sam Small collapsed at the rally
at Brattleboro last Monday evening just
as he had begun to address the largest
audience in the campaign. He spoke
few incoherent sentences and was then
led from the stage. At first it was given
out that he was suffering from the effects
of a drug taken to keep up his strength
in strenuous campaign. But Mr. Small
explained the collapse by saying, II was
drunk. | have no excuse to Offer |
have no one to blame but myself" This
confession was made to the representa-

local editors of the Brattleboro papers.
He added that he would return to Brat

up his strength and he took too much.

The Representative Contest.

The triangular representative contest
continues to keep the political pot boil
ing and conditions are looking very
favorable for the election of Henry M.
Cheney, the regular republican nominee.
Mr.. Cheney is man whom the voters
of the town will delight to honor and he
will make a worthy representative. His
judgment will be especially valuable in
committee work, which is really the
most important work of the session,
and, as announced last week, he stands
squarely on the republican platform and
will support Senator Dillingham; for re-
election. The republicans of St. Johns.
bury propose to stand by their colors
this year and we expect that Mr.. Cheney
will secure the election to which he is
fairly entitled.
