makers shop on the spot now occu-
MED nv the Ransom building. died at
the moor farm this morning at the age
of II years.
The ancient shoemaker was born IN
PENNSYLVANIA and came to this city IN
1894. He worked here for about two
wears with the Barret shoe company
and then went into business for NM
self He remained in the city until the
Ransom building was built and then
moved to Dixie, where he had a small
shop until six weeks ago, when, ull-
able to work any longer, he went TO the
poor farm.
His wife died in an Omaha asylum
in 1892. after she had gone insane over

year. the men who will represent the
L. of W. on tn track here tomorrow
arrived this morning.
Two men will do their best to WIN
points against the local school who
once were as enthusiastic for Whitman
as they are now to see her opponents
win. Holdman, the particular bright
star of the university team, is en-
tered in no less than eight of the 13
events and his admirers say he is good
for points in every one of them. Hall,
former Whitman student, is also a
point winner for the state school, and
if he doesn't win the dashes, then the
local school will get them. as he is
the best the visitors have.
Martin, the local collegian. who
promised SO much at the beginning of
the season, will probably not be al
lowed to enter on account OF scholar
ship deficiencies. But Cox and Lyman
will both do their best to win the
short runs and it is thought among
the Whitman fans Hall will not pull
more than third from any event that
he enters.

stars, are in the best of shape to dc
