DEBORAH 10, cresco 0.

A fair sized crowd at Morgans field
Thursday saw the DEBORAH high school
team In one Of the best and most ex-
citing games ever seen in Cresco.
The reason for the score is soon told,
superior team work by DEBORAH and
fumblfng by Cresco. Both touch
downs were made by a DEBORAH player
securing the ball on tumble and 60
ing over the line short distance.
The Cresco line was much superior,
DEBORAH never being able to make
tirst down through the line and early
in the game held DEBORAH for downs
on their l I'd line.
On the defense, Will Redden was
the star Of either team. He went
through the line at will and smashed
form ations and made tackles that
would have been credit to any play
er with two arms.
1t is hard to tell which Of the Ores
co players put up the best game all
through. Art Thomson and "Ernic"
Hubert seem to have the most ad-
mirers, though Rudolph Thomson ard
| 'Gen" Rathert were not far behind, If
they were at all.
There are several places where the
Cresco team could stand improvement.
They must cut out fun bling, for two
fumblcs cost the game; they must run
better interference, and they must
hold the opposing team back better
on punts. Every time DEBORAH punt
ed there were several players down
the II I'D and waiting to grab Wether-
bee before the ball dropped and not a
Cresco player to back him up. Much
OF the blame for the bad fumbles he
made rests of those on the line who
let the DEBORAH players through.
The universal remark by every 10y
al Crescoite was, "If White had been
here" The presence Of the big right
tackle, with his weight, experien; e
and fierce, aggressive playing and the
confidence his presence would have
given the team would no doubt have
made big difference in the game.
But he will be back when they play
the return game, Nov. -, and with
him at tackle aud Hewlett, who was
out of the game on account of bad
knee, to show them how end should
be played, Cresco should have the
pleasure of beating DEBORAH on their
own grounds.

series of startling dramatic climaxes
later on in the play, and some of
the most thrilling moments come in
the last act where the hero is being
tried for Il murder which he did not
commit and which he has taken on
himself, believing that thes woman
he loves is guilty, whereas he learns
later that she is entirely innocent.
1t all comes about through mis-
placed pistol. The womans husband
is unworthy, and after a brief quar-
rel with her he decides to elope with
the proprietress of a dance hall. This
plan is learned, however, - the In
dian lover of the latter woman and
he kills the would-be eloper husband
with the revolver of the unhappy
wife.
When this is found, the innocent
man is accused; the cowboy who has
loved her all the time believes she
did it to free herself from her wretch
ed husband and assumes the guilt
himself. During the trial he becomes
convinced of her innocence and then
conducts his own defense in novel
md most dramatic fashion. not with

NEW YORK, March 1S.-In clear
ing S5,000,000 on his cotton corner,
Theodore II. Price has not only re-
habilitated himself in Wall street, but
has indicated woman's faith in
him-a faith that was strong enough
to bind her to him when he was a
ruined man." in a money sense.
May "a, 1900. four days before
Price was to marry, his firm went
down with a crash. because cotton
rose too slowly. Price, Mccormick
& Co. failed for S16,000.000. Within
a week cotton rose, as produce prices
do, to a point where the firm would
have cleared about 100000 if 1t
could have held on by margining it's
holdings for a few points.
Price was to have given his bach
elor dinner the night of the failure
1t didn't come off. Neither did the
elaborate church wedding. which was
to have taken place in the Church
of the Epiphany. Price called upon
his fiancee and told her. instead of
being a millionaire. he was likely to
face debts of millions. He released
