THE BOARDS
Great Games Are Being
Played Today at Various
Points.
FIFTY DOLLARS FOR TICKET
Crush at Harvard Yale Contest
Unprecedented and Num-
bered 10000.

Boston. Nov. 20.--Never before has
there been such a crowd of football
mad persons in this city as gathered
to witness the Yale and Harvard
game. The big Harvard coliseum
seats 81 ,000 persons, and every seat
was filled long before the game start
ed, thousands of other people being
turned away. The few tickets to be
had this morning sold at enormous
prices. Fifty dollars was the COM
mon demand The Yale team was a
slight favorite, as it had not been
scored on this year, and is generally
considered one of the strongest elev-
ems that ever wore the blue. But
the Harvard men, who gathered from
all over the country grabbed every
bit of Yale money offered.
Met for First Time in Six Years.
Minneapolis, Nov. 20.--After lapse
of six years, the University of Min
ncsota and of Michigan resumed foot
ball relations today. Not since the
famous Six to Six" game of 1908,
have the terms met. Michigan was
filled with confidence due 10 its de-
feat of Pennsylvania last Saturday,
but Minnesota is a slight favorite.
Chicago, Nov. 2O.-Outside of the
Yale-Harvard and Michigan-Minnesota
games today, the most interesting are
those between Wisconsin and Chica
go, Carlisle and Brown, Illinois and
Syracuse also meet at Syracuse, but
neither team is especially strong this
year.
Far-Western Game.
Denver, Nov. 20.-Today's game be-
tween Denver and Nebraska universi-
ties is regarded the most important
in Colorado this year, as it will give
a good line as to comparative merits
of the playing strength OF western
elevens and those further east. Ne
braska has a heavier line which is off.

known tramp who for twenty-four
hours held captive seyen-year-old
Harry Garrett. in an upstairs room of
the Garrett ranch house, threatening
death to the boy should an attmept
to arrest him be made. was shot and
killed yesterday, after the boy had
made his escape. Wearied by his long
vigil, the outlaw fell into a doze and
his prisoner quickly seized the oppor-
tunity to jump from a window Half
a dozen shots startled the watchers
and a moment later the boy rushed
from the direction of the house. The
man had attempted to kill the lad
when he discovered what had trans
pired. The Finnish interpreter call
ed on the desperate to surrender but
he refused, and volley of shots was
fired through the floor from the room
below Soon the man fell to the floor
but, recovering himself, he jumped
from the window. A perfect fusillade
of shots was discharged at the fleeing
outlaw by the posse on the outside of
the house. A moment later the fugi-
tivefell mortally wounded. He died
while being taken to Nampa.

St Paul mine early today after-a night

bodies they will be held only "a hours
for Identification then a careful record
will be taken and interment carried
out, Laborers worked all night by

VETERAN OF
CRIMEAN WAR
Colonel D. ]. Nj. A. Jewett
Had Thrilling Career in
His Day.
VICTIM OF STRONG DRINK
Double Funeral at Captain
Child Found Dead
in Bed.

Colonel D. J. N. A. Jewett, who died
recently at Captain, in Lincoln county,
was in many respects remarkable
man. Born in the city of Boston, about
II years ago, he received a good edu,
cation, partly in the high schools of
England. He became a portege of one
OF the most prominent English officers,
a member of the nobility, during the
Crimean war and served as an ide of
that officer through the war. Return,
ing to the United States he entered
the service as a private in a Massa.
chusetts regiment and served during
a period of about four years being pro.
NOTED to lieutenancy for meritorious
conduct. After the War of the Re.
bellion he was appointed collector OF
the port at New Orleans and became
quite prominent in the politics of the
state of Louisiana. In 1876, Colonel
Jewett was member of the electoral
commission that decided the election
in favor of Rutherford B. Hayes, being
chairman of the Louisiana electoral
delegation that was recognized. He
came to New Mexico about 1879 as u.
S inspector Of surveys and had lived
in Lincoln county about Is years
when he died. He was influential in
the organization of the Republican
party in that county. Colonel Jewett
was a man possessed of great intel
lect and possessed wonderful mem.
ory Strong drink, however, was his
bane and incapacitated him, like so
many other in his later days from a
useful career.
Child Found Dead in Bed.
Captain, N. NJ, Nov. 20.-Just a.
night was falling two solemn corteges
! filed from Captain, made their way

the burying ground in the foothills.

The other was the young son of Mr..

dead in bed.
The strange burial brought out not
only the greater portion of the resi-

from other places The last rites over
