leave any differences open to arbitration.
Both sides are apparently anxious to
avoid a strike. though neither is willing
to avoid such an issue at all costs.

BoWdoin Alumni Discuss
Athletic Situation.
Will Match Eligibility Rules
Against Any College.
Asst. Coach fogg Resents Iusinuation That
BoWdoin Plays Ringers.

Portland, Me-, Feb. 19.-"Bowdoin

replied to the statement of 4 speaker
at the University of Maine alumni
banquet in Boston that "as the matter
now stands. Bowdoin is the only COL
lese which can play ringers" He said ::
''Bowdoin has always taken an hon.
orable stand in regard to the playing
Of ringers. ! might quote an instance
of this in the very last game with the
University of Maine. AT the begin
ming of the season it was thought that
Bowdoin would fight it out with Colby
for last place in football amongst the
Maine colleges. but by wonderful inn
prOvement the team defeated both Col
by and Bates. Worked up TO the
greatest pitch of enthusiasm by the
time the University of Maine game
came off. BOwdOin supporters would
have given almost their souls to see
the team win. Then came n test Of
BowdOin honor. Two of the best men
were unable to play. There were men
in college who We're fully capable of
taking their places. however. but both
of these men We're ineligible according
/ to our rules, and rather than play
them even in the most important game
of the season, we substituted two in
| ferior players.
"BOwdoin has always maintained this
stand. We have five rules of eligibility
which cover the ground thoroughly and
in living up to our own rules We be-
| lieve we are doing enough"

PROBABLY A COAL FIRE.
Net Believed That Mt. Cutton in Colo
RADIO Has Become a Volcano.

Hot Sulphur Springs. Col. Feb 49,
Little credence is given here to reports
that Mount Sutton has become an active
volcano and no alarm is felt over the
fire on the mountainside. When the
flames were first seen Marshal McQuerry,
Sheriff Scion Jones and J. Z. Brown. ed
itor Of local newspaper, made an in
vestigation and reported that they had
found fire issuing from n crevice in the
rocks. The people Of Hot Sulphur Springs
are inclined to the belief that it is a coal
fire. For several months men have been
prospecting for coal in that region and it
is believed that they discovered n deposit
and in an effort to test its quality set It
on fire. This theory is supported by the
fact that since the heavy snowfall last
night the FIRE Is scarcely visible from,
here. 4, ~ 4.

was made today of the complaints on
hic'I Gov. GOoding of Idaho asked
eXtradition for Charles II. Meyer, pres
ident, and William D. Haywood, sec
rciary and treasurer of the Western
Federation of Miners and G. A. Petit
bone. former member Of the execu-
tive COMMITTEES of that organization.
1t appears that the men We're charged
directly with the murder of Former
Gov. Frank Steunenberg of Idaho. The
complaints charge the accused men
with having discharged the bomb hy
means OF which Steunenberg was killed
at Caldwell. Idaho, Dec. 80, 1905. The
SPECIFIC charge of murder was made to
forestall habeas corpus proceedings. 1t
is alleged by the police that they con-
spired with others to murder Steunen-
berg and furnished funds to carry out
the plat.
The atrocious and unsolved murders
committed during the labor troubles in
Cripple Greek and the Telluride regions
Of Colorado and in the Occur D'Alene
region of Idaho. together with the re-
cent Steunenherg assassination have
been matters Of investigation for some
time.
Harry Orchard, who is in Jail in con-
nection with the Steunenbcrg murder,
is said to have made confession in
volving officers Of the Western Fedora
tion of Miners Orchards alleged con-
feSSion. it is asserted, discloses plot
to kill Former Gov. James Peabody of
Colorado: William III. Gabbert, chief
justice of the Colorado supreme court.
and John Campbell, former chief JUS
tice.
Orchard is said to have confessed
that wholesale transformations We're
planned at the headquarters. of the
Western Federation of Miners in Dem
YER, chiefly by refugees from the camps
at Cripple Creek and Telluride. 1t is
also alleged that Orchards confession
gives a history OF the explosion at the
Independence station near Cripple
Creek June &, 1901 when n men We're
killed.
Coy. Mcdonald, who issued papers
for the extradition of the Federation
officers to Idaho today said that he had
read q copy of Orchards alleged con-
fession but was not at liberty to di-
Vuige It's contents.
which was employed by the Idaho au-
thorities in the Steunenberg case today

ROBBERY THE MOTIVE
For Murder Of tho Stetka Family at
Dominion, N. S.

Glace Bay. N. s.. Feb. 19.-As the re-
suit of a rigid Investigation today it is
now believed that robbery was the mo-
tive for the murder of the Stetka family
at Dominion No. /. The theory that the
murder was committed to prevent the ap-
pearance Of the chief witness in a Sc
rious criminal case is not substantiated
very strongly. Traces Of blood were
found on the mattresses on which the
children slept. 1t is now believed that
Stetka had considerable money in his
house, as the day before the murder he
had received his wages, and he had been
saving UP to return to Austria. Portions
of 4 clock which was in the room with
the victims have been found but there
is no trace Of Stetka's watch or a coin
of any description among the ruins.

Funeral of ii. w. Stone, Sr.

On Saturday afternoon, the people
of Morris and vicinity paused in the
midst of their labors to do honor to
the memory of HI. w. Stone Sr. The
Congregational church was filled to
overhowing with friends and neigh
bors. The services were conducted
by DR.. Shetland, the pastor, assisted
by Rev. F. H. Richardson, of Extra,
Iowa, former pastor. Each family
of grandchildren were represented in
the six grandsons who acted as pail
bearers
At the grave the beautiful burial
service of the Masons was used by the
members of that order, the service
being read by Past Grand Master @.
L. Brown.
Mr.. Stone was the last of family

mile. This makes the race depend
good deal on the swiftness of the
driver in harnessing and unharness-
ing the horse. Everyone who has
a horse with ordinary speed should
enter this as it is race that is "not
always to the swift"
Mr.. Beise reported that entries were
coming in every day and comparing
the number already received with
former fairs it would seem as though
there were to be twice as many this
year. In fact everything goes to show
that the farmers are taking a great
interest in the fair and are going to
do their part in making the fair a
great success.

INTEREST IN
COUNTY FAIR
MANY ENTRIES FOR RACES AND
EXHIBITS.
Track Has Been Graded and Citizens
Are Invited TO Drive on it-Inter=
esting Addresses Planned for
Opening Day.

The members of the various COM
mittees in charge of the county fair
had meeting last Tuesday evening
in the Office of the secretary, Geo. w.
Beise.
The reports of the building COM
Hlittee showed that the board fence
around portion of the grounds was
completed and the posts set up for the
balance. Mr.. Beise was instructed to
order enough woven wire fence to en-
close the rest of the grounds. When
this is in place the grounds will be
entirely enclosed with good 55'' woven
wire fence.
Aside from the above, the race
track has been laid out and graded
so that all it needs now is little driv-
ing on it to make it hard serviceable
track. Stalls have been put up to
house the live stock exhibits, so that
they will have good shelter.
Mr.. Randall has gone to the cities
to see what can be procured in the
nature of tent to hold the other ex-
hibits as there will probably not be
enough money to pay for putting up
building for this purpose.
It was decided to ask some prom
inent Minnesota man to address the
people on the opening day of the
fair-probably Senator Knute Nelson
or Moses E. Clapp if they can come
and also some high authority in agri-
culture to talk about matters of inter-
est to the farmers
1t was planned to have three good
races day and good purses will be
offered for each. One of the races
decided on is novel one in that it is
new to this part of the country. The
race is u miles. The first half mile
is walked, then the contestant has to
harness his horse and trot half mile
