TWO TIED FOR FIRST

All local bowling leagues are again in
operation after the Christmas vacation and
several players changed places after the
weeks series in the respective leagues.
The averages of the Indianapolis leagues
are getting better and better with each
weeks bowling. Jesse Pritchett, of the Ko-
We-Ba team now leads the way with an
average of 1Ss. Charles Field, of the Tur-
ners, and Coffin, of the Marions, are tied
for second place with averages of 1S7. Five

Washington team, are tied for fourth place
with averages of 1S5. Two Eli Lilly men
are tied for the leadership in the Druggists
league. Lohrman and Minton are tied for
first honors and Datesman, of the White
Elephant team. is but one point behind
Although two men have higher average
than Lee Graft in the Independent League

TALKED OF THE SEASON

Members of the Shortridge football eleven,
the high school champions of the State for
1903. met probably for the last time this win
ter in their football toys and probably the
last time that all of them will be together
again when they had their official photo
graph taken in uniform last week. The lads
are still jubilant over their decisive victory
over Manual Training High School last
Thanksgiving, and when they got together
with their new sweaters for the photograph
they discussed the past seasons records.
Nearly all OF the players pictured in the
accompanying cut will be in Shortridge
again next fall and will be under the leader
ship of Captain Gipe. Hezlep Clark, who
captained the team during the past season,
will leave school this spring and probably
will attend one of the universities in the
State. There will be enough material left
from last years team to form the nucleus
for another winning eleven.

half. If any of the large crowd of student
spectators present went to the game ex-

aside this idea. Manual started the scoring
by getting one on a foul by Purdue. This
was followed by a field goal by
HerSch. Hersch played a rough game and
offered Manual many chances for goals on
fouls.

brace, which gave them commanding
lead The score for the second half was

after numbering several persons, for
which he was sentenced to be hanged
In 1896, escaped and disappeared, and
for whom heavy rewards We're offered
There Is said to be no doubt that he
is partially demented He assaulted
two tramps who applied at his cabin
for shelter. and subsequently tried to
kill Sheriff Denholm and his deputies
KANSAS CITY, Mo-, May 1.-The
man under arrest at Tacoma may be
George Taylor. George and William
Taylor, brothers, were convicted nearly
ten years ago of numbering five MEM
bers of the Meeks family. Both fami-
lies We're farmers and lived near Car
rollton, Mo. The Taylors, on the prom
iSe of buying the Meeks horses and
wagons. started overland with them
for Carrollton. During the night, after
robbing them, they murdered five
members of the family, clubbing them
to death, and hid the bodies in a hay
stack. One of the children, little girl,
escaped and gave the alarm. After
their conviction the Taylors escaped
from the Carrollton jail. William was
recaptured in Arkansas and hanged.
