THE oHAPMANiTEs TOO HEAVY.
Defeated Abilene Highs on Muddy
Field 10 to Q.

The Abilene high school football
team met its second Waterloo" Sat-
urday at Chapman, the Chapman high
school team taking the long end OF
the score which was 10 to 8. THIS
was the hardest game Abilene has
had SO far this season. Chapman
outweighed the locals Is pounds to
the man and 1t being muddy the
Abilene team had hard work holding
their heavy opponents.
In, the first half Chapman kicked
off. The ball was returned to the
rs yard line where 1t was lost on a
tumble. Then by a fluke the Chap
man quarterback got away for o
touchdown. From then on the tug
OF war commenced. The pigskin
was kept in the middle Of the field
until the latter part Of the half when
Chapman showed Its zoe pound full
back across the goal line for another
touch down.
The second half was an altogether
different story. The Abilene highs
we're not disheartened from the re-
suit of the first half but determined
to have vengance and played Chap
man completely off Its feet. In less
than five minutes Mortified, abb
iene's left half, recovered an on-side
kick and tore down the field 40
yards for a touchdown. Abilene was
within Is yards of Chapman's goal
in five more minutes. Mcdonnell
attempted a goal kick but failed.
Again Abilene carried the ball within
IS yards Of Chapman's goal but time
was called before another touch down
could be made.
These two teams combat on
Thanksgiving here and as both are
evenly matched a great game Is as
sured.

.4.. Soon.

Sreriff Young went to Herington to
investigate thee troubles Of Frank
Barthold alias Lloyd who was ar
rested in Topeka. Loyd's wife Is
there trying to get bond. Lloyd. SO
the officers says, was employed by
the Rock Island at Herington about
18 months ago under an assumed
name. He took the name because
1t had been that of an old railway
employee who decided to rest and
not 60 back to railroading, and Lloyd
was given permission to use TIE
others credentials in securing a posi-
tion. While in Heflngton, 1t Is said,
Lloyd broke the seal Of a box car and
relieved the car Of case Of beer.
What else he took Is matter OF con-
lecture, but the officers believe he
succeeded in attaching himself to
sundry articles in addition to that
with which he is charged. He was
stopped by the night Waterman at
Herington, who also seized him as he
tried to leave the place, but Lloyd
jerked away, leaving the Waterman
holding to piece Of the fleeing mans
shirt sleeve. From then, for IL
months, he has been trailed from one
end of the continent to the other.
Depuy Sheriff Bennett Judkins, for

Thursday he went to Topeka, af-
ter having been lost to the offlcers
for some time. for the purpose OF
marrying Clara Corey, formerly Of
Herington and former sweetheart
but at present an assistant nurse In
the Santa Fe hospital. He has been
at Mcfarland recently for
the same railroad he is said to have
stolen goods from, but this time he
has been acting as svitchman under
his true name. and nobody was the
