HOFFMAN, ELUDES CAPTORS
Sheriff Gives Up Chase of Man Who

Declares That Slayer Has Left the
Country and 1t Would be Use

Waterloo, ILL.,, Sept 12.-William A.
Hoffman,, the slayer of his father-in-
law, William Brandt, is still master of
the situation, and apparently there is
no prospect of his capture. Sheriff
Ruch OF Waterloo has called off his lit
tie posse Of five men. and the search
for the man who would emulate Tracy
has been abandoned-for the present
at least.
Ruch's decision was the result Of
three days reflection at the scene of
the killing, for, contrary to the reports
in general circulation, the tragedy was
enacted Monday evening instead of
Wednesday.
Relatives of the dead man, who have
offered $500 reward for Hoffman, s
capture, boldly assert that Sheriff Ruch
has made no effort to apprehend the
fugitive. Sheriff Ruch, on the other
hand, declares that Hoffman, has fled
the country, and that even if he had
not it would be impossible to take him
from the region of his home, armed as
he is.
Sheriff Ruch had trouble indeed pro-
curing posse. Try as he would to get
men to accompany him, his efforts were
almost in vain, and he was obliged to
start out with five men, including him.

EASY FOR COPHERS

up on the run.
The rest of the team put UP a good
game but did not exert themselves to
the utmost. Davies and Burdick made
some long runs. and Thorpe and Schaeht
went through the Aggies' line whenever
called upon to carry the ball.

man who was in the game all the time
and when he was forced to retire near
the end of the game with a torn ligament
in his knee he fought hard to get away

to keep it's eye on these two men, for

GAME ENDS IN FIGHT
Football Players Start Bloody
Battle at Washington.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov 21.-.The
annual game between Washington and
jefferson and West Virginia university
mere this afternoon was forfeited to the
Morgantown institution by a score Of 5
to O.. Each team had secured one touch
down and goal and WestoWirginia was
about to resume, when Referee w. K.
Brainard gave the contest to the visitors
on account of alleged delaying tactics on
the part of Washington and Jefferson
Following the game disgEaceful. scenes
were enacted by players. Students of
both institutions and townspeople and
the police were called to.y. the rescue.
hurled through the air in every direction.
and arrests were made. The scene was
almost indescribable and Bedlam prac-
tically reigned in Washington for two
hours.
The game itself was fast and furious
one, and the bloodiest and toughest that
has been played here for years. Scarce
ly man on either team was free from
thumps and bruises, and the blood. was
pouring from the faces of several when
the game was concluded.
The trouble first started when it was
discovered toward the close of the first
half that Teas, the famous University of
Pennsylvania guard, was playing left
tackle for West Virginia under the name
of Morgan. From the time Teas iden-
tity was discovered he was made the
mark Tor the washington anu J6IIeTSOu
men, and was laid out after nearly every
down. Hayes, Washington and Jeffer.-
sons captain, received equally as rough
treatment from the West Virginia play
erS. t-44-4-a4 ,es5
Both goals scored were made in the
first half. In the second half West Vir-
ginia university had much the better of
it, and when but half minute remained
to play Referee Brainard claimed a Wash
ington and Jefferson linesman interfered
with the ball before it was snapped. The
offense was repeated and Brainerd de-
clared the game forfeited to West Vir-
ginia.
The visiting players, with the 300 root
ers who had accompanied them, started
to leave the field, but were intercepted by
the Washington and Jefferson people, and
furious conflict ensued, in which the
football players were the principal partic-
ipants. Referee Brainerd was struck
twice in the face and painfully hurt, while
members and followers Of both teams
were cut by blows from clubs, bricks,
canes and any other weapons that were
handy. The police tried to stop the fight,
but were carried off with the crowd. Along
the streets the fights continued, and 1t
was late tonight before anything like or
der was permanently restored. 1t was
the first time in her history that West
Virginia has crossed the Washington and
Jefferson goal line,
