low up the previous articles which

( SEATTLE, Dec. 3O.-Football en-
thusiasts will witness the last game
OF the season New Years day when
the gridironi giants of the Seattle
and Spokane Athletic clubs clash
on Dugdale park. That it will be
one Of the hardest battles of the
year is evident from the reports of
improvement which have emanated
from both camps The Bunch
grassers will have strong team in
the Held. 1t has been wonderfully
strengthened by the addition of
college players from Pullman.
Hardy and Wexler, whose record
on the gridiron this season has
been brilliant, arrived in Seattle
yesterday. Both will play against
Seattle, and 1t goes without saying
that they will prove tower of
strength to Spokane.
i Johnny Bender, whose fame as a
line plunger Is known throughout
the West, is one of the Spokane
squad. It is probable that lie will
be seen at fullback when the
whistle blows. Bender, Hahn anu

GIVES UP TITLE, RICHES AND LIBERTY
FOR LOVE OF WASHER WtONEN'S GIRL

BERLIN, Dec. 30.-Love has ex-
acted some tremendous penalties,
but 1t visited the limit upon Count
Francis Erasmus Erbach, scion of
one of Germany's oldest and most
distinguished families.
1t has shorn him of an annual in
come of $1,OO0,OO0. of all that un-
limited wealth and noble birth Of
fers, of hope of succession to the
family title and estates, of his lib
erty even, and forced him into a
cell in a madhouse.
When 1t became, known several
years ago that the count was infat.
uated with Dora Fisher, pretty,
dainty daughter of a washerwoman
on his fathers estates, there was
CONSERVATION in his family and
sensation throughout Germany.
The count belongs to one of the
mediatised houses, if not the royal.
ty, and his family retains the right
to select its mates from the bluest
blood of any royal house. In the
old days the head of the family
was an independent prince.
Small wonder his love of wash
erwoman's daughter should set the
nobility of Germany agog!
The count was only 10 when he
met the girl one day while riding in
the forest at Erbach. 1t was a-case
of love at first sight, and many
meetings followed. The counts IA
Their threatened to disinherit him
unless he abandoned his mad in.
fatuation for the girl. Her parents
were equally strenuous in their OPP
position to the intimacy, knowing
the usual outcome Of such cases.
The count was Obdurate. He in.
sisted that he would marry her,
washerwoman's daughter or no,
when he became of age. When
that time arrived he eloped with his
lowly sweetheart in an automobile,
crossing the French frontier and
fleeing to London, where they were
married.
The counts father Immediately
called a family council and it was
decided that unless the marriage
was annulled the count should be
disinherited and regarded as an out.
law. Meantime the count was
spending his honeymoon in Paris.
Exhaustion of funds forced him
| to return to Germany. Only recent.
