The body of Ed. Fridez. who was
killed oy a farmer near La Sale Fri
day night, while trying to break into
his house, was taken to Pueblo for
burial. The mother and sister of Fridez,
and also his late employers, state that
he for some time had been addicted to
the use of liquor and opium, and 1t is
their belief that he was so insane at
the time of the tragedy that he was ut
terly irresponsible.

the moment has arrived for the production OF

the waist await the signal 1t is the duty of
the side opposite to that of the "bOwlman" to
touch the bowman" with the bowl before the
latter can be pushed. thrown or lifted over the
fence. To reach the fence the "bOwlman" must
be taken through the opposing force. At the
signal he is dragged back into the midst of the
half naked mass of students, his white sweater
torn from him to hide his identity. and he is
then rushed toward the goal in the fence
The Scrimmage that ensueS when sophomoreS

of the fence and still untouched by the bowl.
This ends the first half.
After rest the two sides line up for the

and freshmen, and for ten minutes a furious
fight RACES for the possession of it. When the
whistle blows the hands holding the bowl are
counted. Whichever side has the largest num-
Der Of hands holding to the bowl at the count

The freshmen are always more numerous than
the sophomOres at these fights. Their tactics
usually are to swoop down on individual sopho-
mores. drag them from the fray, and detail one
or more of their number to sit the prisoner
until the fight is ended. No particularly gentle
means are adopted in carrying out this method
Of fighting and it is not unusual for students to
emerge from the fight with little of the clothing

The rules are simple. The sophomores select

FIRING BIG GUNS.
Testing Operations as They Are
Carried on at Fort Warren, Boston.

For the first time in the history of the United
thrown open the other day to newspaper
photographers. who were invited. with reporters,
to witness tests of the big 1O-inch and 12-nch
guns in target practice. The photographers
were permitted to take pictures of the guns at
work, but We're not allowed to or photograph
any of the secret mechanism of the guns.
The fixed target large red painted buoy.
and a few hundred yards beyond was the NOV
able target-three buoys. pyramid shaped and
twelve feet square, used to represent n battle
ship. 1t was towed by a tug separated from the
target by space of two hundred yards. The
first and third buoys were 145 yards apart, the
ordinary length of a battleship. Between the
two end buoys the second used, to repre-
sent the vital part. boiler and machinery
rooms, of a battleship.
The 1O-inch guns throw a projectile weighing
$40 pounds, and the 12-inch guns throw
weighing 1000 pounds. Each 12-inch discharge
costs Uncle Sam just 5000.
In the range finding towers the target was first
sighted and after a mathematical calculation the
result was telephoned to the gunners, who fixed
the sights of their guns upon the large COM
passes on the carriage, and fired at the word of
command. In sighting the target. perfecting the
range position and firing the gun, two men at
three at the gun were required to make twenty
five mathematical calculations.
Those in the range finding observation tower
found the target and transmitted the distance to
those in the plotting room, who figured the dis
tance between the observation tower and the
guns, examined the barometer and thermometer,
found the velocity of the wind. the height OF the
tide the speed of the projectile. and finally desig
mated the exact spot the aZimuth chart which
should be used in firing.
All this was done in the allotted time Of
twenty seconds. If more than the twenty sec
onds are taken UP in the computation, the
operations are all begun again. This is because
twenty seconds is the time allotted to firing at
a moving target in the regulations of the coast
defence artillery.
In addition to the utilized in the tOwerf
and at the guns, there more than $50 *
charge of the loading and swabbng and the
carrying of the shot and powder
Any shot which strikes the water sixty yardc
short of the middle target 120 yards tfG
far side of that target is accounted hit in the
records. because in actual warfare a shot falling
within those limits would be effective.
Electric power is used to load the guns. and
they can be fired either by electricity or by q

PYTH|ANS HAD.
ENJOYABLE
TRIP
To Century, Returning At
An Early Hour Yester-
day Morning.

One of the most enjoyable trips
made by members of the local lodges
of knights of Pythians was that of
Friday night, which terminated yester-
day morning about o'clock, when
the special train bearing the party re-
turned to the city from Century.
The occasion was the district meet
ing of the Knights of PythiaS at Cen
fury, and at o'clock the special train
chartered for the occasion left the
union depot having on board fifty or
sixty members of the local lodges and
those in this district Accompanying
the members were Grand Chancellor
Henry Horsier, and District Deputy
Scott Nj. Loftin. Upon arriving at
Century the members were met by a
committee from that lodge and eS-
corted to the hall, where the celebra-
ted senatorial team conferred the
rank upon two candidates.
District Deputy Grand Chancellor
Loftin delivered an appropriate adj
dress, which was responded to by one
of the prominent Pythians of Century,
and then Grand Chancellor Horsler
made a short but interesting address.
The Pythians of Flomaton had pre-
pared an excellent repast for the Occa-
sion, which was greatly enjoyed.

Brent, Dec. S.-We had sprinkles
of rain both Wednesday and Thurs
day Up to this time it was warm
and Spring-like l saw fine looking
snake out in full dress parade.
Friday the north wind dealt us a
heavy blow and downed the mercury
to a winter level.
The woods pasture ponds are again
dry, and we have to draw water from
the well for all of our stock.
The green squares of Ciopton's
model farm present a beautiful picture
now. Nearly all planted since the
great storm.
They find a splendid market for
their greens, onions, radishes, turnips,
etc. The hurricane marketed their
fine early planting of cabbage; and
the cut worms are handling the later
paintings for home consumption.
The Spencer family have all ais
persed from their Brent farm. The
majority have gone north to be frozen
over, while Carl made for the sunny
side of the great frost line. Grandpa"
took refuge from all the cares of life,
in the Cloptonia cemetery.
Pensacola seems to be out-growing
its last seasons clothes. The pupils
are crowding into school No. 40, on
East Hill, so that many have to be
seated on the floor, and others sent
home for want Of standing room.

of the defendants. Col W. W. Flour
nOy, leading counsel, and Messrs. Lof-
tin and Blount, who were also asso-
ciated in the defense, followed the
case closely and yesterday made able
address to the jury that contributed,
in great measure, to the leniency Of
the verdict.
The other indictments will not be
tried at this term of court, according
to District Attorney Sheppard, but will
be continued until the spring term of
the United States court in order that
the appeal in the two cases already
disposed of may be decided.
The jury in the case just concluded
was composed of Julius Boley, Albert
Johnson, Frank Kramer, J. g. Welsh,
Mike Puhtell, c. F. Schad, w. T. Will

How many pounds of wool do your
sheep shear per annum?" was asked.
My present flock averages 10
pounds per head and We are not salts
fed with Merinos that average less
than pounds. The best of Merinos
often average II pounds. There are
individual cases of a high class eve
clipping 20 pounds, and similar ram
clipping 80 pounds and over, under
careful and high keeping, but there
are very few such.
We have SOLD wool in North Carolina

from bruises and very painful inju-
ries.
The young man was painting sign
for the Watson, Parker & Reese Co.,

north side OF the building some dis
lance above the roof of the adjoining
building. In making a step the stag
ing tilted to one side, and to save him
self from falling he leaped 10 the roof
below a considerable distance, and was
so badly injured that he was taken
to his home, where he is now con-
fined to his bed.
