Snappv Game of Foot Ball Results
in Victory for. Locals.
Visitors Kicked Goal From
Field Scoring 4 Points. Lo-
Gals make Touchdown.

In one of the best played games
OF foot ball ever witnessed by
Washburn enthusiasts, the Wash
burn High School team defeated
the Nelson Dewey High School
OF Superior last Saturday after
noon. At no time during the
past two years were the locals
so ANXIOUS to win as in this game
and every man on the team COW
cred himself with glory. Super
ior had the advantage in being a
heavier team but the home boys
were quicker and more scienti-
flc. The visitors were compelled
to resort to punting and kicking
the ball out of their territory
and at no time did they depend
on the defensive strength of
their team. The locals made
gains at will, either through the
line or around the ends, and it
was in making these gains that
the boys showed their strength.
During the first half neither side
scored but the playing was done
dangerously near the Superior
goal. In the second half the
visitors made a few short gains
after which Conley sent away a
drop kick scoring the first four
points for the Superiorites. AT
ter this the local team played
great ball and by steady gains
through the Superior line car
ried the ball over the line for a
touchdown while the bleachers
went wild with joy. The Wash
burn team again tried rush tao
tics and succeeded in carrying
the pigskin we'll into the visitor S
territory and it was only by su-
perhuman effort on the defensive
and occasional punting for safe
ty that Washburn was prevent
ed from again scoring. The fol
lowing was the lineup.

ITEMS ABOUT THE EXPLOSION.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1907-10-24

So many conflicting stories
ace told that it is hard to credit
any of them without positive in
formation being given. EN-
ployees of the plant maintain
that another man named Avery
was also killed, that he was seen
going into the storage house
with the others, and that be is
still unaccounted for. Whether
or not this is tr ue we have been
unable to ascertain.

One of the saddest things
about such a catastrophe is
that the victims are blown to
atoms. Relatives and friends
would feel better about it we're
there enough left of the bodies
so that a decent burial could be
had.

spent the early years of his life in his
native town, but when he was to young
manhood grown he went west, or that
was west at that time to Ohio. After
several years spent in that section he
came back to Connecticut, to the town
of Ansonia. For about ten years he
followed his chosen trade, carpentering,
in that place and Shelton, finally COM
ing to New Haven where he has resid-
ed for the last forty years. At this
time he was one Of Connecticut's best
known builders.
Mr. Rockwell followed up his trade
in this city and also went into the
contracting business on a small scale.
He owned a small Joining shop on Lyon
street, near his home. His business in
terests brought him into contact with
many people, many of whom became
warm friends of his. For the last few
years Mr.. Rockwell has gradually CIV
en- up his business interests, merely

ried, his last wife, Mrs, Emily J, (Lake)
Rockwell, dying two years ago. Since
then he has been failing gradually, al
though he has been up and around.
This past spring Mr. Rockwell had an
attack of malarial fever. This Slapped
his strength. But he recovered some-
what and in the last two weeks has
been about. Friday night he was
taken i'll and Saturday night at 1890
he died. Death was attributed to old
age.
Mr.. Rockwell was sturdy man, one
who, when he saw his duty, did it, no
matter what the consequences. He
was God-fearing, and was a hard
worker, being connected with
the st. Thomas church, where he was
Junior warden. Several years ago he
was connected with the Sunday school
of the same church. Although Mr.
Rockwell was what is known as "a
family man, staying home much Of
the time, he had many warm friends in
all walks of life He was an indefatig-
able worker, and when he had once
put his hand to the pillow, he turned
not his head, and whatever he set out
to do, he generally succeeded in doing.

COMMUNION SERMON.
DIR. Gardner Talks Upon Subject at
Crawford.


The pulpit of the Bradford Baptist
church was occupied yesterday morn
Ing by DR.. w. Fl. Gardner of West Ha-
ven. AS the service included the regu-
lar communion observance the preach
er presented a subject appropriate to
1t. He spoke especially of the work Of
Christ in sanctifying the common
things and affairs of life. The plane on
which He chose to live and serve was
that Of the common people. He did not
mingle with the official classes and
with a rare exception or two drew no
following from them. He moved amid
the homely affairs of everyday life.
BY His presence at the wedding of
Caua he exalted marriage and was in
terested in the home and its institu-
tions.
The speaker also considered Christs
enlargement of the ordinary meal Of
the home into the common meal of His
church, regarded in true Christian
sense as family, emphasized in no ac-
cidental way in New Testament litera-
ture. The original beauty and mean
ing of the lords supper has been mar
red by the ecclesiastical character that
has been too largely given to it. AS
Christ moved about in the homes he
made Of the common meal a spiritual
exercise. The speaker illustrated his
subject by citations of instances when
Christ partoolS of meals in various
homes at the invitation Of others, some
friends and some who were not. The
conversations which Christ introduced
at such times the speaker called the
table talks of Jesus and showed the
character of three of these, with the
particular lessons each conversation
was intended to convey. In closing,
the service Of the communion in
Strengthening the bond of fellowship
and in charging and exalting Chris
tian experience was presented.
