STANFORD IS, UTAH II.
CaIifornians Win Game Played in a
SnoWstorm,

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 2S.-Stan-
ford's eleven found it rather an easy
matter to defeat the university of
Utah team. Three touchdowns in the
first half and three in the second half
were scored by the sturdy Californ-
ians, and it is probable they would
have added six points more to this
score had not time been called when
i. was ,as they had the oval within
four yards of the goal line when the
referees whistle sounded. The goal
line, however, was crossed twice by
Utah in the second half, making the
final score Stanford 35, Utah II.
The Ca%lifornians had the novel e
p%erience of playing football in a snow
storm. Throughout the game the
snow fell steadily, not only complete
ly obliterating the lines of the grid
iron, but making the grounds SO
treacherous that fumbles and falls
were frequent, and many plays were
spoiled in this way.

MICHIGAN 20, MINNESOTA 6.
Ann Arhor Men Get Undisputed Title
to Western Championship.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Nov. 25.-By a
score Of 20 to 6, Michigan today de-
feated Minnesota on Ferry field and
earned the u%ndisputed title to the
western football championship before
a crowd of 10000 cheering enthus-
lasts.
1t took n hour and 10 minutes of
furious play to finish the game. At
times both teams, especially Michigan,
were brilliant; at other times, the
game on both sides was ragged, but
it never ceased to be desperate.
The superiority of the Michigan men
is not questioned. In the first half
they carried the ball 2O5 yards com
pared with IS yards to the credit of
Minnesota. In the second half Mich
igan made $50 yards against 165 for
Minnesota. Minnesota braced wonder
fully after Flynn's touchdown, and
played a better game thereafter then
they had done previously.

G IN THE WORLD.
American Capitalists to Establish Big
Cattle Ranch,

Salt Lake, Utah, Nov. 2S.-The pur-
chase of millions of acres of Mexican
territory along the border of the Unit
ed States for the purpose of creating
one of the largest cattle ranches in
the world is the result of recent ne-
gotiations of American capitalists.
The Utahans involved in the trans
action are ]. D. Wood, F. ]. Hagen
barth, H. G. Wood and j. B. Barnett.
Associated with them is o. M. Stat
ford, a banker and capitalist of Cleve-
land. The purchased land comprises
nearly 1000 square miles of territory
and extends along the border for 159
miles from a point 16 miles west Of
Ell Paso, Tex. and involves ar initial
expenditure of about $1,000, 900. 1t
is the intention of the promoters of
the enterprise to make this Mexican
ranch a breeding ground for cattle,
and for this purpose will place from
II, 900 to 10000 cows on the land the
coming season.

it went the state championship. Con
trary to the score, the game was an
interesting one, but from the first
kickoff, never was there doubt among
the spectators as to the result.
Averaging Is pounds to the mar in
weight over The university team the
Bozeman farmers had no difficulty in
securing substantial gains in every
scrimmage. Their defensive work
was of an excellent character, and
with superb interference and mass
formation rushes each. advance on
the 'varsity's line brought a gain Of
from five to 20 yards.
Summarized, the contest was a fore.
ing of playing by rushes into the var
sity's territory, and then with a clever
pass to w. Flaherty around the ends
he would go for a fast III and touch
down. Seven of these were made.
Flaherty crossed the tape with five.
Three goals were kicked.
While the 'varsity's showing in the
score is bad, their work under heavy
handicap of weight and experience
was good.

EGAN SEARCH ABANDONED.

the hopes of finding the body of SUI
p%erintendent Egan have quit the
search for the winter and all efforts
to find his remains this winter have
been abandoned. 1t is presumed the

termine their plans of action. Moth
ing more will be done this winter.
Snow continues to fall and the work

Bozeman, Nov. 2S.-John T. Huffine
was killed this morning about eight
o'clock while attempting to cross the

we'll known ranchman of the Horse

He was on his way to Bozeman for
a load of supplies and had stopped
last night at Belgrade, where he at
tended a dance. This morning, in
company with his friend, William
Brainerd, he crossed the track.
Brainerd saw the train coming, but
Hufine either failed to give atten-
ton, or looked carelessly, or miscal-
culated the time, for he followed
upon the track. The horses got owe
safely, but the train, at full speed,
struck the wagon, crushing it to spin

BALFOUR At THE HELM.
Mr.. ChamberIain's Departure
South Africa Is Significant.

New York, Nov. Recommending
upon the departure for South Africa
of Colonial Secretary Joseph Cham
berlain, the London correspondent of
the Tribune cables:
"The significance of all these
tributes, lies in the fact that the old
parliamentarian who has become the
strongest individual force in public
life, has gone out with a special com
mission from the crow and cabinet
to settle affairs in South Africa as he
likes. Premier Balfour's personal au-
thority will be strengthened by the
withdrawal of the masterful spirit of
the colonial secretary from politics
during the next six months. The edu-
cation bill will be carried without the
aid of Mr.. Chamberlain and the pro-
gram Of the next session with the
Irish measures and the London school
reorganization as the chief features
will be known as exclusively the
prime minister. He was master of the
situation for the first time when the
cabinet met yesterday with one chair
vacant. He may need his most sagaci-
GUS adviser more urgently than poll
ticians apprehend. There are per-
sistent rumors that Lord Salisbury is
returning. to England in order to sup
port Lord Hugh Cecil's agitation for
an amendment to the education bill,
which has now entered upon the re-
port stage with closure applied vigor-
ously for three days. There is also
a continuance of political gossip re-
speeding the kings intervention in
Irish affairs and fundamental changes
in policy which may precede the royal
visit to the island next year. Some
nationalists choose to assume that the
king from the friendship for Mr.. Glad
stone, has been a home ruler for
many years, but this is a fantastic in
vention. There is reasonable ground,
however. for the belief that a great
effort will be made to conciliate the
Irish party before the kings visit to
Ireland"

GOMEZ ENDS THE STRIKE.
The Old Warrior Sees Both Sides and
Talks Right Out.

Havana, Nov, 27.-The Central La
Dor Union last night decided to call
off the strike, and committees were
appointed to inform the various unions
of this decision.
Much of the credit for the settle
ment of the strike is due to General
Gomez, who headed the committee
which consulted the officials of the
Havana Commercial company, against
whom the strike was first directed.
After the conference General Gomez
and the majority of the committee
expressed themselves as satisfied at
the stand the company had taken. The
officials maintained that they had not
Disseminated against Cuban ap-
prentices, the fact being that the com
pany's books showed that over 80 per
cent of it's apprentices were Cubans.
The company would maintain and
even increase this ratio, but it re-
fused to treat with the Central La
boz Union in matters pertaining to
its employees. The officials said that
they would meet a committee made
up of workers from their factories
and they agreed to open the factories
again if the men returned to work.
General Gomez and the committee
afterward met the Central Labor un-
ion and the old warrior did not spare
words in his condemnation of the &C
ton of the union in calling out the
workmen. He said it was a revolu-
ton and not a strike and that the
wal veterans stood ready to take up
arms in support of the government in
order to maintain order.
That ended the strike so far as the
Central Labor union was concerned.
It did not care to brave General
Gomez's wrath and word was sent
out as soon as possible to have the
men return to work.

Omaha, Nov. 2S.-John S. Mosby,
special inspector of the United
