County Judge Ed. F. Coad is seri-
ously ill with pneumonia at his home
in this city. For a few days last week
his life was despaired of, but the at
tending physician expresses the belief
that the crisis is past and that he will
recover. He is unable to take much
nourishment, and as a consequence is
very weak. Judge Coad contracted a
servere cold in Portland two weeks
ago, and shortly after his arrival
home, the aiiment developed into a
well-defned case of pneumonia. He
was reported to be resting quietly at a
late hour last night.

DALLAs DEFEATs sALEM.


The Dallas College second team de-
feated the Salem High School team in
Salem Saturday evening by the close
score Of 1S to Is. At the end OF the
second half the score stood Is to l5,
and according to rule the play was
continued until one team or the other
scored two points. Dallas soon got
one on foul, and, after ten minutes
of hard playing, threw a goal from
the field
The Statesman says: 'The boys
from over the hills were much larger
and more experienced tuan the High
school boys, but nevertheless the
home team put up good stiff game
and scored as often as their opponents
up to the end of the last half.
"The star player Of the evening was
undoubtedly Frank Rhodes, who sue
ceeded in scoring eleven points out OF
the fifteen. For Dallas, Launer,
Craven and Morton scored the points" "
THE Iine-up was as follows:
