WANT MARION TO
 MEET HIGH SCHOOL
NO ONE SATISFIED WITH RESULT. NO OFFICIAL STATES THAT HARDY RAN OUT OF COURTS, NO ONE PLEASED.

So unsatisfactory was the game between the Birmingham High school and the Marion Military institute on the West End grdiron Thursday afternoon that an eff fort is being made to get the two together again. In Birmingham, it is believed that the High school can defeat Marion, and because this is believed the disputed victory is not appreciated. As is remem- bered, the decision was awarded to the High school by a score of to 5. This decision is protested by Marion, however, because that team, after scoring a touch- down, was not allowed to try for goal, and because a second touchdown was ruled out.
 The claim in reference to this second touchdown was that Hardy, the man who made it., ran out of bounds Referee Lynch depended solely on what the um- pire and head lnesman told him. Umpire Stakeley of Howard college made the statement based on his judgment and best opinion, that Hardy remained within bounds. Head Linesman Young, a pro- lessor of one of the schools of the city, is in doubt although he issued the fol- lowing yesterday: Tn justice to the Bir- m1nghamh Iilgh scnool, deslre 10 state that on account of darkness and the con- dition of the field. I cannot affirm posi- lively that Hardy ran out of bounds. But it is my best judgment that he side stepped beyond the line in order to evade tackle of Quarterback Haley"
 From this statement alone 1t is evident that the matter is still matter of dis pute, and everything points to the neces- sity of another meeting It is hoped that Marion will invite the high school team to it's city.

stripes, and in doing so instituted, as is always customary, a thorough search of his person. We found two extra fine steel saws securely but not effectively hidden on his person. That he gained entrance into the womens cell is redic- ulous, since it's location is remote from the mems cell, and the prisoner was under strict guard until securely locked up. Hence, the sensational story of saving a lock from cell door and re- leasing a woman convict from Speig- ner is absolutely false. since he had no communication whatever with any woman convict while here. We don't doubt for a moment that young Settles fully intended to saw himself not into" but "out" from the penitentiary, as he remarked his ability to "saw out" in ten minutes time, and was caught with the "modus operandi' on his person. but his wishes failed to materialize, much to his apparent chagrin w.

Tiuht Check Reins.

To the Editor of The Age Herald.
 Let me appeal to the owners of driv- ing horses to stop the cruel habit of the tight check-rein. I am a lover of fine horses and it is most painful to me to see them punished in this way. Besides, the check-rein prevents the free airy motion of the head, and neck so noticeable in the carriage of blooded stock. Traveller was the most perfect specimen of a horse l ever saw. An iron-gray with black mane and tail, strong limbed and of wonderful muscle united to a remarkable amount of en- durance. It was said when in camp that he was looked after by General Lees staff as if he was a child. This beautiful and gentle horse always com manded the admiration of the soldiers. Most all people who are real lovers of fine stock want to be merciful to their beasts-but just don't think.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR.
Why They Are Blossoms.

To the Editor of The Age-Herald.
 I note in The Age Herald a day or two ago some one giving the various names which the negroes apply to the various kinds of money and commits sary checks, gave as one name for commissary check, Blossoms" but said he did not know the reason for the name. When the name 'blossom' was first applied to commissary checks I asked a negro why the name, and he told me they were blossoms because they did not stay on the tree long enough to get ripe. A. H.

 The teams are among the fastest of the light weight aggregatons in the state. Howard is member of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic association, But during this, the first season in the big company, the others teams have proved just a trihe too strong and Howard has fared badly. The odds this afternoon favor Howard, although that there will occur "a splendid exhibition is certain. Birmingham is exceedingly light, but this

For the first time in football history of either institution, Howard college meets Birmingham college (Owenton) this af- ernoon on the gridiron at West End park.
 The game this afternoon concludes Howards season for the year. The eff forts of Coach Counselman to arrange a satisfactory Thanksgiving game met with failure. It is. therefore, the earnest hope of both institutions that everyone interested in football will take day off and number themselves among the spec tators.
 There has developed keen rivalry be- tween the two institutions, both on the

Mrs. ShrewshurY's Whims.

Continuing his testimony at the after
 noon session, MT. Shrewsbury said that
 on one occasion Mrs. Shrewsbury became
 so fierce that it was necessary to take
 her to Los Angeles. At that time she was armed with both knife and re- volver He had no doubt that at such a time as this his wife was insane. He said that another sister Of Mrs Brao- ley's mother, Mrs. Ryan, had been sent to an asylum. In the course of the ex- animation of the witness by Judge POW CTS, he was several times prompted by Mrs. Bradley.
 On cross-examination MT. Shrewsbury said often his wifes spells would come on when she learned of ladies riding Tn the stage with him. She was Jealous,
 but there was no occasion for her Jeal-
 ousy. The relation of the peculiarity of
 the aunts disposition caused smile on
 Mrs Bradley's face.
 United States Senator Sutherland fol-
 lowed Mir Shrewsbury. He said he had
 known Mrs. Bradley since 1895. He told
 of calling upon her at the Raleigh hotel
 in this city immediately after the shoot
 ing of Mr. Brown but did not give any
 details of the conversation. He said Mrs.
 Bradley's general reputation in Utah was good. ., Miss Anna Bischel, teacher of Chi cago corroborated the testimony of MT
 Shrewsbury concerning theFeccentric con duct of Mrs. Ryan. Witness had lived
 at Mrs. Ryan's house in 1891 ana issz and said she was the subject of Ire
 ouent fainting spells. She had reached
 the conclusion that Mrs. Ryan was en- tirely irresponsible.
 Mother Recalled. Mrs. Bradeys mother, Mrs. Madison,
 was recalled to the stand to testify con corning a visit by her (Mrs Madison's)
 sister. Mrs. Sweeney in 1903, when Mrs. Sweeney wanted to take the Bradley children MT. Brown, she said, was there and objected.
 ''He said that under no circumstances
 should they go; he would provide for Mrs. Bradley and that he meant to marry , her"
 Witness was not cross examined.
 Assistant District Attorney Given, who is assisting the prosecution, was called
 by the defense to testify to the fact that when he went to Santa Cruz, to take
 the deposition of Mrs. Bradleys father he found him to be paralytic MT. Given spoke freely and was cross-exam-
 ined by his chief, District Attorney Baker.
 At 2;35 Mir. Wells, one of Mrs. Brad ley's attorneys, began reading former Senator Arthur Browns letters to Mrs. Bradley.
 The first of them was one dated at
 Nephi Utah, December 12, 1901. MT. Wells read the document as if entirely
 familiar with its contents and Mrs. Brad
 ley was much affected by It, especially it's tender reference to herself. She leaned her head upon her left hand and closed her eyes. Her frame shook slight ly at times.
 After three or four of the letters had
 been read the court at 8 D. m., adjourned until Monday.

light weight gives an opportunity for rapidity of action, which is chiefly de- pended upon. Howard desires to conclude it's season with bright victory, and will strive to pile up healthy score.
 The strength of the Birmingham col lege is shown in it's recent game with the Anniston Synodical college In this bout Birmingham came off victorious by a score of 35 to O. The Anniston college was beaten by the Birmingham Hign school by to 0. This would indicate that the Birmingham college is entirely out of the class of the High school ag- gregation. Howard last Saturday scored a decisive victory over the Chattanooga university, the score being 21 to 5.
 The game this afternoon will be called promptly at 2:S0 o'clock.
