SEWANEE-AUBURlNV
MUCH INTEREST IN SATURDAY
 FOOTBALL GAME.
Contest win Be Fought on West End Field in Birmfngham And In- terest of Alumni is
 High.

Birmingham, Oct, 17--(speciaD--As the time for the Sewanee-Auburn foot ball game approaches interest is in creasing.
 The annual games between these two teams is rivaled in interest by the Alabama Auburn game alone.
 These two games are always the feature events of the football season in Birmingham.
 While Birmingham is well filled with Auburn alumni and Auburn supporters, Sewanee, too, has many admirers Tn the city.
 It may also be said that the support CTS of the two colleges have no love for each others team, never forgetting the day of 'sS when Sewanee took the championship of the South by defeat ing Auburn by one score. The game was played in Montgomery and the Auburn team as well as supporters have since that day claimed that the s'umpire did them up.
 That game was talked of seasons afterwards and right at that time did Auburn become a favorite Of many Tn the state of Alabama -' The pluck of the Sewanee aggrega- tions has always been g pronounced
 The Auburn boys next to defeating Alabama would rather hand 6ewanee d lemon than to dance the light fam tastic. With blood in their eye and a determination to win both teams will take the field at West End Park Satur- day afternoon at 3 o'clock expecting to win with ease.

The exhibition hall is rapidly filling up and yesterday tt was being handsomely and tastiiy' decorated on the interior. Secretary Tait and w. s. Webber. of the Execu- tive Committee of the Fair Association spent most of the day at the park yes- terday directing, suggesting and ex- plaining hundreds of details. The hardest part of their work yesterday was in seeing that the different horse- men were made comfortable in the quarters assigned them and that they got plenty of feed, straw, sawdust, etc.
 The thoroughness of the work done was shown by the fact that last night not kick or complaint was registered by single one of the many horsemen at the track.
 The Traction Company Is working on their line from the city to Vandiver Park and General Manager Ragland says that he Is going to see that the people have an unusually good and fast car service. The Western Rail- road Is also getting their Lart of the work in shape. Tke block system Is being perfected an1 when the fair opens tho shuttle trains will be run ming as smoothly as if they had been in operation a year.

CITY Is ENJOiNEC.
Yankton Must Not Stop Telephone
Work. Court Says.

A temporary restraining order has
been granted by Judge Garland of the
United States our in Sioux Falls, in
the case of the Northwestern Tele-
phone Exchange Company against the
city authorities Of that place. Judge
Garland heard the arguments in the
case some days ago and has just rem
dered his decision. The telephone
company asked that a temporary in
junction be granted restraining the
city authorities from interfering with
the extension OF the system. 1t is
c%ontended by the city that the fran
chise of the telephone company has
expired, and that it cannot extend its
system until it has first applied for
and secured a new franchise from the
city council. The court will hear on
its merits the question of extension
to streets not now occupied by lines.

sral carnival which will be arranged
tor the entertainment Of all visitors
to the city. Another feature will be
exhibits Of gas-propelled machinery
and devices Of all kinds, for which
space will be provided. Committees
will be appointed at once to begin the

WILL MAY BE IN SECRET pAWER,

With no known relatives TO claim

John r. Wilson Of Deadwood, a mem.
Der OF the lady board OF manager Of
the worlds fair, a graduate OF a New
York law school and one Of the most
beautiful women in the State OF South
Dakota. probably will pass to the
state and become an asset OF the
school fund Of this state,
The condition OF this estate Is al.
most unique in he annals OF the
state, In January last Mr.. Wilson
died leaving, aside from his own re
sources and liabilities, a heavy life in
suranCe which went 10 his widow and
which could not be touched for the
debts Of his estate. Mrs. Wilson sur
vivet him only three months. and died
without making a will. AS the insur-
ance which he left had become part of
the estate, it could not be touched for
the debts Of his estate. and. in the alb.
n Of relatives and OF a will, the
money needs must go 10 the state.
A curious feature OF the case is
that, i short time before her death.
Mrs. Wilson told a relative OF her huS-
band that in the new part of her house
was concealed a secret closet or draw
er. She even went so far as 10 desig-
nate where the key to this hidden re-
cess would be found, but still gave no
linking as TO the location Of the closet.
Since her death. believing that If there
is a will, it may be found in this Sc
cret drawer, a. thorough search of the
house has been made in an attempt 10
locate this hiding place. The house
is an old one, 10 which extensive ad-
ditiOns have been made. One of the
carpenters who built .rha last addition
was located. He said that another car
penter, who since has dropped out OF
sight. would be ths only man who
would know Il such A place existed.
He, however, suggested three places
in which a secret drawer might have
been put. Thorough search. however,
thus far has been futile 80 trace Of
the hiding place a be found and IL
is thought that this statement Of Mrs,
Wilson may have been one ~ the de-
lusions Of her Illness
The beautiful furnishings OF The
house have been sold a. public sale
and are being scattered about the
country. Another unusual and inter.
esting feature has arisen. l. vas
Mrs. Wilson's custom to keep an ac-
count In a New York bank. and at the
time Of her death she had several
thousand dollars there. This has been
levied on, according to the law con
corning Inheritance tax in that state,
and the amount coming to the school
fund will be short several hundred
dollars.

Lyons Arst appeared IN Sioux Falls
between four and I've years ago He

known as Rev Charles \. Lyons. and
for a short tsme filed the pulpit o'
Que of the local churches. He met
and fell in love with a highly respect
ed youns woman Of the city. whom he
married.
Then he m~ysteriouslv disappeared
after a short married life, and there
were circumstances which, for a time,
indicated he had been the victim OF
foul play. Not the slightest trace Of
him could be found after a persistent
search.
But the deserted wife, who at first
was firmly OF the opinion that the
missing man had been the victim Of
foul play, finally became convinced
that he was a villain and had volun-
tarily deserted her. She then, single

which, after several months, resulted
in his capture in the Twin Cities.
Knowing he was a bookbinder by
trade. she wrote personal letters, with
a description OF her supposed hus-
band to all the bookbinders In all the
leading cities Of the United States,
and through this means he was To-
Gated.
It was not long after she com
menced her search before she became
aware that Lyons was alive and we'll,
and that she was no wife at all. as
Lyons had one or two other wives
living from whom he had never been
legally separated.
After having completed his term in
prison, Merle Dodge, a Wisconsin man,
who pleaded guilty to an Indictment

Objectionable letter in the ~postotlce

Dodge also was fined. but escaped

The bank attempted to take the cat
