Tried to Escape from Jail.

Paterson, N. j., April 10. Arthur
Laster, who is under sentence to be
hanged on Friday next, made des.
perate attempt to escap from Jail here
last night. He shot the two deputy
sheriffs on the death watch, but failed
to get away and was finally dubbed In
to unconsciousness by policemen whom
the deputy sheriffs called to their aid.
Neither of the injured deputies will
die, although one of them was shot in
the abdomen. The other was not seri-
ously hurt, and it was this fact that
frustrated the escape. Laster was lock-
ed in small corridor remote from other
prisoners. Although wounded the depu-
ties escaped from the corridor and locked
Laster in.

ALL.MICHIGAN ELEVEN.
The Last Honors at the Close of Football
Season.

At the close Of the football season il
is the custom for each college to select
an ALL Michigan team from among the
various elevens Of the intercollegiate.
Following is the honor roll decided upon
by the Alma management:
Left end, Holdsworth, M. A. @.
Left tackle, McCollum. Alma.
Left guard, Hans, Olivet.
Center, Angel. Alma.
Right guard, Rocks, Kalamazoo.
Right tackle, Frye, Albion.
Right end, Boyle, M. A. @.
Quarterback, Small. NJ. A. C.
Left half, Helmer, Alma.
Rightshalf, McKenna, NJ. A. G.
Fullback, Bliss, Albion.
This gives four places to M. A. c.,
three to Alma, two TO Albion, one to
Olivet, Eand one to Kalamazoo. The
positions given to the four NJ A. @. men
are well filled and no one can reason.
ably take exception the choice. The
two ends are in class by themselves
McKenna has been the star halfback OF
the state for several seasons and Small
has no rival for quarter position. The
other two men in the back field have
stood out prominently during the season
Helmer is equally good ON offense and
defense and well deserves left half
Bliss, however, has strong rival for
fullback in Doty of M. A. G.. who plays
star game at the position, the Albion
captain getting the choice on his su.
perior weight. For left tackle there are
several almost equally strong men, but
McCollum deserves the place over both
Belts Of Olivet and Fiske of NJ. A. G.
Frye of Albion gets the other tackle
without any question. Hans of Olivet
and Rocks of Kalamazoo ought to make
pair Of great guards. Angel has
played four years at center and has beer
picked by the colleges of the state FOL
the All-Michigan team every season
and better player at the pivotal posi-
ton has not turned up in the intercol
legiate. This lineup is not lacking il
kickers. McKenna has done the bes
punting this season, Frye is good droI
kicker, and Small has record at goa
work, having missed only one out o.
fifty-one kicked this season.
