Wentworth lS..central 0.

4 he above score Is tue result OF Tue
game played on the Academy campus
last Saturday afternoon between
teams from Central High School ell
Kansas City anu Wentworth Military
Academy. 1t was game e hard,
clean football and for forty five min
utes every man on both teams led a
very strenuous life, 1t was one OF
the most interesting and exciting
contests ever seen here. Wentworth
bad slightly the better Of the visitors
in weight, but what won this game
as well as many Others for Wentworth
was its ability to play as fast ball In
the second half as in the first, the
result of superior training, and had
Central been as heavy Wentworth
would have won the game. The first
half resulted In 10 0 score with
the ball in Wentworth's territory
most OF the time.
Central kicked off to Wentworth
and after holding for three downs
carried the ball to Wentworth's one
yard line. Here Wentworth made
desperate stand and Central was
unable to make the coveted yard and
lost the ball. Wentworth carried 1t
out of danger and from this time
until the close Of the first half the
ball changed hands time and time
again. The half ended with the ball
in Wentworth's possession in the
center OF the field
The second half told a different
story. Wentworth started In as
fresh SIS at the beginning Of the game,
while Central showed that the pace
of the first b III was too fast for them,
and the rushes Of Wentworth became
more and more effective. Emery
made the first touchdown after five
minutes play and ten minutes later
Egan broke through Centraps line fol
the second. With three minutes tC
play Emery was pushed over for the
last touchdown. Fish kicked all Of
the goals and the score stood lS TO Q
in Wentworth's favor The game
ended with the ball in Central; ,;
possession.
For Central, Minton and Smith
were the best ground gamers, while
Fish, Emery and Bgan carried The
ball most Of the time for Wentworth
The work of Fish was easily the fea
ture OF the game. He not only carried
the ball we'll but often broke through

RICH ORE STRIKE IN JACK RAE
 BIT GROUP.
(From Sundays DailY.l

The mining domain Of Yavapai
 county is big and inviting one. Hard. ly day passes but what is not ehron- icled the arrival in Prescott of some one with evidences of the wealth that lies hidden. This was so with A. A.
 Wagner, the miner man who is b. cated near Bumblebee in the. Black Canyon country, and who leaves today for Ohio, where he will interview sev- eral friends and endeavor to persuade them to become interested in what he possesses in mining ground in that sec tion. He owns a group of four claims, known as tf Jack Rabbit, and on which he has beon extensively devel- oping for some tlmC. To support the fine showing they make he brings a magnificent sample of the ore that was taken from the bottom of a 40- foot shaft, in the fern of wire gold that is pronounced by mining men as the finest specimen of gold ore ever shown in this city. .-., .aas-
 MT. Wagner necessarily feels very much elated over the finding of this ore at that depth, and believes that when the ground is exploited to great CT depth it has every indication of supporting a permanent and profitable mining enterprise. In addition to this rich sample of ore which he ex- hibits, he also carries other samples of the product, showing the mineralogical makeup of the ores of his claims.
 The Jack Rabbit group are old To- cations, and through the foresight of MT. Wagner, backed by keen know ledge of the possibilities of mining, to- gether with muscular assistance, he has demonstrated what others have failed in, that a mistake was made iE not practically handling the ground by the original locators, when the indi- cations justified what is being proven today.
 The section in which this group IS located is rapidly coming to the front. Many claims are under operation there, and now that the possibilities of the Jack Rabbit are so excellent, it is but reasonable to anticipate general good showings among all of the claims there.
 MT. Wagner's many friends will be pleased to learn of his good fortune, and it is to be sincerely hoped that he will have an opportunity to demon strate the merit of the proposition that seems so attractive by what he shows and what he believes to be in store.

OSCAR BRUCKMAN IS DECLARED
 NOT GUILTY.
(From Sundays Daily.)

lfrom Sundays Dally.)
 The jury in the case of the Unite
 States against Oscar Bruckman, charg-
 ed with selling whisky to Indians,
 brought in a verdict last night at 7:3U o'clock of not guilty, and the defend ant was gwen his liberty. The jury de- liberated about two and one-half hours before arriving at a decision. On Mon day his brother, Richard M. Bruek- man, appears for trial on a similar of fense, the allegation being that the charge is but similar one, the trans- action having taken place at the same time as the offense for which his bro ther was indicted, the two brothers be- ing indicted separately.
 In conjunction with these cases, something of sensation is in store for those interested when court will con vene on Monday morning. Before the case against Bruckman was commene- ed for trial yesterday, United States Attorney Alexander made the state ment to the court that he believed that Ben Williams, the well known Navajo Indian interpreter, who was present in the city, was tampering with the h. dian witnesses for the prosecution, in an endeavor to keep them from tell ing the truth in the cases against the Bruckmans, also alleging that Will Hams had already influenced several Indians to the extent of blocking the ends of justice so far as the govern ment was to be considered. He askel that a citation be issued for the appear anee of Williams before the court on Monday, the charge against him be- ing contempt. Accordingly this cita- tion was issued by Judge Sloan, and Williams will answer at that time to the charge made.
 MT. Alexander also stated in support of the allegation he makes that Will Hams was seen talking to several In. dian witnesses and that he impressed upon them the belief that the Bruek- mans were friendly to the Indians hence they should if anything, favor them as friends in the trial to be given. One Indian witness who was called to testify later on behalf Of the prosecution, could not be made % open his mouth or to understand what was desired of him.
 The Bruekmans conduct an Indian trading post about twelve miles from Winslow, and are said to be doing profitable business among the Maya jos.
 While in the past there have been many similar cases before the United States court in this city, this particd lar one, however, surpasses in interest | and consideration all former trials il this channel, owing to the fact that l the officials interested have been mora than ordinarily indulgent, and the ae- cused men prominently known as In- dian traders in northern Arizona.

of wealth.
There are questions that come uI
at every session Of congress that every
farmer has his interest in. They are
questions of vital importance to US
and we want to feei and know that we
have senator that is in full sympathy
with us and can be relied upon and is
anxious and willing to earn every
dollar we pay him for his services.
Judge Webb has never in deed or
action betrayed one single trust con.
fided 10 him in the past. We can
surely place confidence in him for the
future.
We know where to find him every
time. We want men of nerve and
action, men who dare to do right and
of principle enough to make us honest
and just laws at Washington, and we
will find honest and patriotic men at
home to enfoi ce them.
We want to share equally with
every one that owns and has a single
dollar to his name in supporting this
government.
We don't ask you to hide for us, to
make our taxes less one single penny.
We need better utilities everywhere.
They are the bond that bind a nation

NOW, WILL THEY BEHAVE?

After eleven months of the most
bull-headed resistance and the eX-
penditive of 800, 100000 by the
Russian military authorities in
fortifying Port Arthur, the plucky
little Japa neSe have filled Russia's
cup of humiliation to the brim by
accomplishing the fall of that notable
port.
After so many victories gained by
these sturdy little fellows. we would
almost expect them to say to the
Russians Now will you be good?"
But the StubbornnesS of the Russ
is to well known to lead u.s. to believe
that they will be good. In our opinion, =,
the fall Of this noble fortress will net
end the war, but the friendly interyen-
tion on the part of the United States
might do some good.

office ''until his successor is elected
and qualified" This means. of course,
that Supervisor Cochran is under
obligation to continue in office and
discharge the duties thereof until a
successor is elected and qualified. 1t
does not mean that he is entitled tO
hold over for the full term for which
his successor might be elected, unless
there should be a total failure to elect
such successors.
AS To your duty: Inasmuch as a
special meeting of the county board
To elect d successor can be called only
upon written request of majority OF
the members of the board (Sec. 664,
Stat. lS9S). it cannot be said that you
are legally required To take active
steps 10 procure the holding of such
meeting. 1t would seem quite proper
however, if you see fit, TO call the
attention of members OF the board TO
the situation TO the end that they
may unite in request for such meet
ing if a majority shall see fit to do so.
1t is at least questionable whether
Mr.. McCamley should be recognized
as an officer de facto, that is, as hold
ing the office of county supervisor of
assessments under color of right, by
yourself or any other public officer.
1t would seem safer to treat his
attempted election as nullity.
We have made our discussion of the
questions presented and our citation
of authorities somewhat more eX-
tended than is our usual custom in
order partly to facilitate the in
vestigation of the same questions by
your district attorney or by any other
person who may desire to reach
conclusions for himself.
Respectfully,
l. WISCONSIN STATE TAX COMMISSION
(sIGNED) By GEO. CURTIS JR.

that prior to the last mentioned
ballot and declaration nothing was

resignation of his office ds member

ing above mPnt toned was received by

Of such clerk.

|. Could he (NcCamley) resign To
the county clerk?
> Can the county board elect one
Of its own members to said office:
; We're he proceedings regular
and WAS he duly elected?
4 If the latter question should be
answered in The negative, was any
other person elected. and if so. whom?
3. If there was no election. does
the present incumbent hold over until
his successor is elected and qualities,
and what is my duty in the premises:
In considering tie foregoing ques-
tionS we will not attempt to follow
the order in which they are stated.
As to the eligibility Of a member
of the county board to the Office of
supervisor of assessments the opinion
held in this Office is that he is not
eligible, and that he election in form
of a member of the board to such
office is clearly illegal if not an
absolute nullity, and we could not
advise any public officer to recognize
person SO elected as even an officer
de factO.
This question of eligibility and its
effect upon the attempted election is
considered at some length in an
opinion written 10y Judge ellison, OF
this commission. under the date
November s, 1901, addressed TO Mr.
Glenn II. Williams, a copy Of which
is furnished herewith. 1t is deemed
unnecessary to extend the discussion
of the question beyond that contained
in such opinion.
This brings us to consideration OF
the question whether Mr.. McCamlev' 5
attempted resignation was legally
sufficient.
Unless the city OF Grand RAPIDS is
