Blue and Gray Students Making Ex.
tensive Plans for Virginia Game.

Coming Is a complete surprise. the re-
suit OF the GeorgetOwn-F ordham game
last Tuesday has awakened the students
at the West End institution to a reaiiza-

setting the warriors In shape and at the
same time will cause the enthusiasm to
rise to q pitch that cannot help but con-
tribute greatly toward capturing the laur-
els Of the battle with the wearers Of the
orange and blue. There Is an old tradi-
ton at the hilltop school which has arisen
from the facts OF history, and 1t Is now
firmly believed that the truth of this
tradition will again become proven. Ae-
cerdins to the journals of athletic ~ea-
tests Georgetown has never yet SUITE red
four consecutive defeats At the hands OF
Virginia. or, in other words. no genera
ton Of students has gone out from the
school without having witnessed at least
one conquest Of the southerners.
Thus It Is that. With the game against
the Charlottesville eleven only ten days

tion of seeing their ancient rivals made to
eat the dust. 1t is true that before the

RICHMOND, Va, November 27.-F'rank
Crawford was arraigned in police court
this morning on the charge of beating
his wife.
The woman was i'll court to press the
charge. Her hope and aim was to send
him to Jail. The tables were turned and
instead the woman was sent to prison.
Crawford told Justice John Crutch-
field that the woman made life miserable
for him, declaring that when he went
home after his days work the woman
would compel him to make fires, cook the
supper and do the dishes. He said he
had stood the conditions as long as he
could.
Then I'll protect YOU" said the justice.
I'VE men folks must stand together. The
women are clamoring for votes. They
make us pay rent, provide for the wife
and children, and now they are striving
to make us do the cooking and house
cleaning.
You can go, Frank, but You will not be
bothered for at least twenty days.
when you get home, you will find
nothing but a lot of broken dishes and
furniture shouted the woman as she
was led back to the cell.
The husband walked away a free man.
The woman was fined $40 or jailed for
twenty days for failure to pay.

her daughter fell while firing In an at

iels
The two men escaped and the search
for them was continued today. 1t was
reported today that the troops might be
called to restore order. The feud started
three weeks ago with the murder OF
George Christian by James Daniels.
That third person was shot in a bat
tie between the Christian and Daniels
families near Devon, Mingo county,
Thursday became known when a physi-
clan was summoned to attend Jim Dan
iels at the home Of his brother. His
wound may result fatally.
In the event Of his death three mem
bers of the Daniels family will have been
wiped out as the result Of this latest
feud battle. Mrs. Charles Daniels and
her sixteen-year-old daughter were shot
to death.
Kentucky officers have refrained from
approaching the Daniels home since the
fight of two days ago, knowing that it
means more bloodshed.
Information gained today points to the
possibility that two Of the largest and
most highly respected families or Mingo
county may become involved in the feud.
