to plead and counsel entered plea
Of not guilty for him.

c. Hams. who is charged only with
being a principal in. the murder of
Annis, counsel next entered plea of
not guilty, but added that at the time
of the commission of the alleged crime,
Capt Hams was insane. Judge Car

trial. saying that duty should devolve
upon the judge who is to open the Mo-
vcmber term of court Then the two
prisoners were taken back to Jail. T.

Sophomorcs and the Physics room
boys of Gardiner High school is the
most interesting feature of local stu

football from the Sophomores in two
games by scores of 5 to and Il to U
and some wise Sophomores conceived
the idea that as the Sophomores had
more good baseball players than the
Physics room possibly they might
make better showing at baseball
Yesterday appeared to be good base
ball day and the Sophomore challenge
went out to a game of baseball and
was straightway accepted.
: But even the gme of baseball has
not settled anything. At the end OF
seven innings the score was to IN
favor of the Sophomores. but the Phy-
sizes room players demanded right to
play the remaining two innings. not
withstanding that it was so dark on
the diamond when the playing ceased
at the end of the seventh that ball
could hardly be seen The Sophomore
were unwilling to play after the enc
