CAUGHT II GEORGIA.
Murphy who Assassinated Treasur-
or Copes Now in Jail

The police department. OF Augusta
believes it has spotted Marphy, who
while serving a life sentence for the
murder Of Treasurer Copes, escaped
fton prison. According to the letter
recsived just by the Governor from
the chief of police OF Augusta, he
thinks D c. Murphy, a Life prisoner,
who escaped from the penitentiary
some years ago, is in jail at SWANS
burg, Ca, on the charge OF horse
stealing, and the Augusta cf5,er
wants to know II this State desired to
put claim for him at once.
Murphy killed Treasurer Copes, In
Orangeburg County in 1897 and was
sentenced to harg. Governor E ler-
be commuted this to life inprison
ment, and Sh 2rtly afterwards the man
escsp: &.
a short tine ago an interview with
a. former Penitentiary guard was
printed. in which it was said that
Murphy had gone to the Philippines.
il the letter OF the Augusta chief OF
police Is correct, however, Murphy is
in Georgia jail, and there is little
doubt but thai be will make a strtne
effort to keep out Of the clutches CT
the South Carolina authorities.
The case is one OF the most inter
estiDg ones Of the criminal history OF
the State, and Murphy mas no doubt
led an eventtul life since his escape
from the Peritentiary here. at the
time OF bis escape every effort was
made to recapture Murphy, but it
was said he had gone to South Amer
ica. The Augusta police who write
appear to be familiar with the case,
and think that the SWainsburg horse
thief Is the real Murphy. Several
men who have proven to be the wrong
men have been arrested as Murphy.

HELD FOR STAKES
Horses Will Not Be Scattered

Pittsburg, Dec. 15.-With the understanding
that he will fill all stake engagements for 1906
and then sell the string of valuable horses ana
stables, Captain Harry Brown has been left the
holdings in horsefesh Of his brother, the late
s. s. Brown. The Will was probated In the
Allegheny county court yesterday. Captain
Brown said last night:
In compliance with the wishes of my late
brother shall see that all stake nominations
for the coming year are filed"
Thereby hangs a little tale Of Interest When
the late Mr.. Whitney died some of his stake
nominations were invalidated by bis death and
s. 8. Brown at once took his brother Harry
in as partner for the purpose Of guarding
against such contingency. His brother has been
a partner in the business, and the rich holdings
will now be handled under the name Of Harry
Brown for the next year.
Then 1t will pass into history. The Will OF
Captain Brown proved somewhat Of a disap-
pointment, as but about $2500,000 is disposed
of in it, tho the estate of the turf king is
thought to have been several times this amount.
1t is admitted by close relatives that immense
and many requests were made by Captain Brown
some time before his death, and these do not
appear WILL of the known -bequest is
is 100000 which he gave to erect a church
in memory of his mother.
/ A strange feature Of the will is that it Is
dated Nov. o. 1905, or less than thirty days
previous to the death of the decedent as re-
qured by Pennsylvania law, SO the will might
be invalidated should any of the benefciaries
so desire. Captain Harry Brown said last night
however, that he was satisfied there would be
no contest

Philadelphia Dec. 15--In compliance with a
request from Harvard university the intercol-
legiate football rules committee has postponed
its meeting, which had been scheduled for today,
until Friday, Dec. %. The meeting win take
place In the evening in this city.
This announcement was made by District At
torney Bell, the University Of Pennsylvania
member OF the committee. who also said that
in his opinion the plan to make an advance OF
ten yards in four downs necessary to retain
possession OF the ball would be adopted by the
committee, but with notifications which would
weaken the defense.
The Harvard idea.
Mr.. Bell said: .'Last evening I received .
communication from William Reid, Harvard't
head COACH who represented the crimson at the
last meeting of the committee in place of Rob
ert D. Wrenn the regular member, stating thai
he had asked for postponement Of the meeting
for week because Harvard people have not had
time to formulate their ideas as to what changes
are advisable.
the members appreciate the fact that crisis
in the game Is at hand and that all suggestion.
sent should be carefully considered.
The Camp Suggestion.
81 think that Mr.. Camps suggestion as II
ten yards on four downs will be adopted bu
not unless 1t is supplemented by measures Il
weaken the defense. To impose upon the at
lacking side the almost impossible task Of max
in the rule, would be to insure nothing excep
possibly more kicking. Unless the defens
should be correspondingly wea kened, no team
could advance the ball this distance against a,
opponent of anything near their own strength
and end runs would be as scarce as now

CITY GETS A SHOCK
Fergus Falls waterwor1xs Retaliates. il
Condemnation Proceedings.


FERGUS FALLS MIN N.-The Fergus Falls
Waterworks company gave the city a shock
today by instituting proceedings in the United
States court to secure an injunction prohibiting
the city council from further action in connec-
ton with the condemnation proceedings to ac-
quire the dam that furnishes the company with
power. The waterworks company is Incorporated
in the state of Maine, and for this reason has
q right to go into the United States courts.
This city recently adopted q new charter which
annuls the ,company's contract with the city
in some particulars.
A special election was, called few months
ago and bonds to the extent of $4,000 We're
voted to ''build buy a waterworks system.
The new charter had provided for the con
delnnation Of waterpowers when necessary, and
the council decided that the easiest way to bring
the water company to its knees would be to
condemn the dam from which 1t was obtaining
its power.
Condemnation proceedings have been instituted,
and the company now comes forward and alleges
that the new charter conflicts with the first
section Of the constitution of the United States
| in that it provides for the taking of property
without due process of law. The council is con
demning the dam on the ground that it re
| quires more power to run the municipal electric
! light plant, but the company alleges that this
I is mere subterfuge, and that the real purpose
| is to cut off the companys power and waite
nominal price. A prolonged legal tight is antici
: | pated. -
