pending an examination in one OF his
studies.
The Cornhusker lineup against Hastings
included only four veterans from a year
ago; Denslow at end and three backs. Lit
tlc Schmidt and Mason. The others were
from the scrub squad Of last season. Upon
Fosters ability to whip them into shape
depends Nebraska's success for a winning
eleven. Cooke, stationed at end, proved
lightning fast and a whizzer in covering
ground with the ball. wilkie was sta
toned at center and displayed an apti-
tude for the position highly gratifying to
Foster. Ewing and Chaloupka performed
admirably at the guards. while Rice and
Matters worked at the tackles. Rice has
been practicing at center, but he has been
showing the adeptness OF wIlkie. Matters
is especially promising at tackle, although
he has not yet cinched the position.
Coach Foster is not yet satisfied with the
lineup and has announced his intention to
do some shifting in practice in preparation
for next Saturdays conflict with South
Dakota university. One of his intended
changes will be the switching OF Cooke
from the end to quarter. Mcdonald, at
present a candidate for quarter. is to be
given tryout on the varsity at end.
Foster is hopeful that these changes Will
strengthen the team.

WHISKY, NOT BREAD,
FIXES A SENTENCE

Whisky is not the staff Of life, &C
cording to a decision rendered today
by Judge G. l.. Smith of the municipal
court. The case of the state against
John Wahlke and Fred Miller, said to
be father and son, was on trial. The de-
PENDANTS were charged with stealing
two bushels Of wheat from freight
car. ~ ~ -
The counsel for the defense put skill
full questions to the accused drawing
out the story Of fruitless search for
work and Of poor blind wife and
mother at home IN need Of bread. He
explained how. the prisoners, goaded to
desperation by the sufferings of the
blind woman and urged on by their own
hunger, stole the wheat and bartered it
for bread. ....,.-.........-.. ~
The court was visibly affected and a
light sentence, and that suspended,
seemed Inevitable when an agent Of the
Associated harities took the stand and
testified that the only bread purchased
with the proceeds Of the stolen wheat
came in bottles and resulted in beast
1y state Of intoxication, which was of
little advantage to the men who made
the: exchange and none at all to the
blind woman who was being supported
by the association. - IA
This put another face on the situa-
ton and the heart of the Judge hard,
ened 7visibly.3 Instead of giving sus.
pended sentence he intimated that for.
| ty-fve days at tie works. seemed fit
and proper to him. - 81 D..

PLOT is ALLEGED IN
ALIENATION TRIAL

The defense has copleted its case in
the $4,000 alienation Of affections suit
Of Thomas Marshall against Henry F..
Hodge,, on trial for nearly two week
before Judge H. D. Dickinson Besides
an d absolute and general denial, the
defense consistst Of allegations of a
conspiracy between the plaintiff, Frank
Morrill,, his attorney, and Alice Wesley,
Morrill, g common-law wife, made for
the purpose Of getting money from the
defendant
The defendant also introduced an
affidavit by. Mrs. Agnes Marshall,
whose affections are alleged to have
been alienated by Hodge, in which the
affiant swears that Hodge is entirely
innocent Of any wrong action or in
tent and completely exonerates him.
Mrs: Marshall, however, took the
stand in her husband Is behalf and swore
that the affidavit was untrue. She
stated that she had been induced to
make it by Hodge and his attorneys
upon the promise that he would pay
lief that it would clear her reputation.
Sh Essays that Hodge paid her only $50
and that she then decided to 20 on the
stand and tell the truth.
One Of the sensational incidents of
the long trial occurred when Frank
Morril, one Of the plaintiff g attorneys
took the stand and swore that he had
been at the Union depot with Mr.
| Hodge on certain night and in com
pany with him had met Mrs. Marshal
and Miss Wesley. Questioned as to who
Miss Vessey was he admitted that she
was his common-law wife. He said that
he had gone with her uptown while
the defendant and Mrs. Marshall hai
walked up the street together.
Mrs. Marshall later testified to thu
truth Of these facts and added tha
she had gone with, Hodge to down
town hotel. The wife swore tina
Hodge had made love to" her but NJ
illicit relations were proved as thu
plaintiff withdrew his allegations o,
