this opinion and has done so re-
peatedly since.
On the other hand every officer
who has been connected with the
prosecution in any way, firmly be-
lieves the man guilty.
Public sentiment, though, is be-
lieved to be against hanging, as the
evidence was purely circumstantial.
Both Detective Alex Macdonald and
Patrolman Cecil Thompson, who
made the arrest and ran Dalton
down, claim that the evidence they
secured was too clear to leave any
doubts.
Another circumstance against a
communication is the fact that it took
the jury only 20 minutes to arrive
at it's verdict of guilty:

For Splendid Home Remedy for Stem
ach and Kidney Troubles and
rheumatism.

1.-The people here do not drink enough
yater to keep healthy" exclaimed a
we'll known authority. 1.-The numerous
cases of stomach trouble, kidney and
bladder diseases and rheumatism are
mainly due to the fact that the drink
ing of water, natures greatest medi-
cine, has been neglected.
Stop loading your system with patent
medicines and cure-alls: but get on the
water wagon. If you are really sick
why, of course, take the proper medi-
cines-plain common vegetable treat
ment, which will not shatter the nerves
or ruin the stomach
When requested for such prescrip-
ton for the cure of rheumatism and
kidney trouble the answer was: You
must make the kidneys do their work :;
They must be made to strain out of the
blood the waste matter and acids that
cause rheumatism; the urine must be
neutraliZed SO it will no longer be a
source of irritation to the bladder, and,
from forming in the tomach This is
the cause of stomach troubles and
poor digestion. For these conditions

BELLE FOURCHE, S. D., Feb. %
From different small towns in South

COACHES STUDY FORWARD PASS
Football Men Digging Deep in New
Rules.

The decision of the football rules
committee making an illegal forward
pass an offense punishable by a penal
ty of Is yards, has started football
coaches throughout the country to pay
ing more attention to the forward pass
than to any other play of the game.
Last year an illegal pass meant for
fixture Of the ball. Because of the fear
of losing possession of the oval there
was a tendency to keep away from the
forward pass except in cases of emer-
gency or as with Yale. where the for
ward pass was used almost exclusively
IS scoring play. In the big games
Yale never tried the pass except when
in striking distance OF the opponents
goal line.
This year any team will take a
chance at making 80 yards and pos
sibly touchdown when the penalty
is a mere distance penalty and not
loss of the ball. The new rule also
permits a team fighting near its goal
line to make use of the play. To do
such a thing last year would have
spelled defeat, for an illegal pass gave
the ball to the other side.
This change in the forward pass was
the most important amendment made
to the rules. The time of the halves
was heightened from 80 to 35 minutes.
The committee also made obligatory
the use of two umpireS, one to be called
the line umpire, and the other the field
umpire. The field umpire is practically
