THE NORMAL LOSES AGAIN
DEFEATED BY LITTLE ROCK COLLEGE BY SCORE OF
 II TO ,.

After outplaying their opponents in the first half the State Normal foot ball team suffered a reversal of form in the latter part of the game with Little Rock College Saturday after noon, and lost, II to 5. The first half ended with the score to 0, in favor of the Normal The game, which was played in Little Rock, is described in part by the Gazette as follows:
 Some fast stuff by Adney and Mar tin, the Normal ends, who stood head and shoulders above their teammates, gave the pedagogues their score in the first half. Near the close of the period they twice got past the college ends, went down and bumped Paulett as he was attempting to catch Sherin' s high punts and enabled the Normal to regain the ball. With but few sec onds to play, Adney then bunted Pau lett out of the way and enabled Short to grab the Ball as it bounded on the college five-yard line and carry it over for touchdown, with less than min ute to play.

Murderer of Woman
Wanted for Another
Craze Crime

I'D DILLINGHAM;, Wash, Nov. IL
ID John F. Logan, held in Jail at
Coleville, Wash, charged with the
murder of his housekeeper and the
cremation of her body, has been iden-
titled as Frank Romandorf, wanted
here for the murder of John F. Logan
at Maple Falls, in the autumn of 1906.
For two years alleged proof that
Romandorf committed the murder has
been held by the police here, but the
man could not be located.
Logan and Romandorf were neigh
bors near Maple Falls. In October.
1906, Logan disappeared and a few
days later was followed by Romandorf.
Shortly afterward a letter was re-
ceived which purported to come from
Logan, telling friend he was on his
way to Germany. His ranch was
decided to another man and the pro-
ceeds were sent to the supposed
Logan.
A year later portions of Logan's
body were found, evidence pointing
to Romandorf as the murderer An
attempt had been made to cremate the
body in the forest on Logan's ranch.

Herbert L. Brink Wa.
Found Guilty of
Murder

DASIN, Wyo., Nov. 1.-THE jury in
n the case of Herbert L. Brink,
one of the seven cattlemen
charged with the murder of three
sheepmen in the Tensleep country, re-
turned verdict of murder in the first
degree today.
The verdict carries with it death
sentence. The court granted the law
yers for the defense 10 days in which
to file motion for a new trial.
Promptly on the announcement of
the verdict and the removal of the
prisoner, the state moved that the trial
of Thomas Dixon, another of the cat
tlemen, charged with completely in the
Allemand murder, be begun and the
work of securing a jury commenced at
once.
There has been no violence upon
the part of the men who have been
encamped in the vicinity of the town
since the trial began, and Sheriff Ais
ton is satisfied that his force, rein
forced by the state troops, will be suf-
ficient to prevent an outbreak.

ES MONIES, Iowa, Nov. 11.-Sen-
ator Nelson W. Aldrich of Rhode
Island, chairman of the national
monetary commission, continued his
series of western addresses on finance
here tonight in a speech before the
Bankers club
Des Moines is the home of Senator
Cummins, one of the "insurgent" Re-
publican leaders, but those who ex-
pected the Rhode Island senator to
make any uncomplimentary allusion
to the Iowan were disappointed.
Mr.. Aldrich spoke especially of the
growing Importance of the west as af-
fording the best reason why people of
Iowa should demand stable banking
system. Senator Aldrich gave more
attention than heretofore to the i'm
portance of commercial paper in the
banking system of Europe.
In discussing this feature of foreign
banking, Mr.. Aldrich said:
I'm Germany all notes, taxed or un-
taxed, must be covered by an amount
of specie equal to one-third of the
total issue, and an amount of bank
able bills equal to the other two
thirds. Those bills are what we would
call commercial paper. They must
bear the name of two solvent parties
and must not run for more than 90
days to answer the standard fixed for
bankable bills. In France, they have
provision that bankable bills there
must bear three names and must have
the same limit as to time as the Ger
man bills. In Great Britain the Gus.
tom is to require the names of Eng
lish citizens, one of whom must be
the acceptor. OF course, you are aware
of the difference in Technology of our
commercial paper and theirs. Our peo-
pie use promissory notes, either with

half hundred uniformed patrol
men, plain clothesmen and de-
tectives are patrolling the streets and

a continuation of the Tong war, which
has cost five lives since the first of

of the members ofsthe Yee family and

diminished numbers of Chinese on the

later, to escape the mob, he was re-

In his cell at the reformatory, the

that he had been around Louisville for

OU1SV1LLE, KY, Nov. i'll. Han
gary Fawcett, cashier of the Mer-
chants National bank of New
Albany, Ind, was killed; John K.
Woodward, president of the bank, was
dangerously wounded, and James R.
Tucker, negro chauffeur of Louis
Vile, was fatally wounded this morn
ing, when young man, partially iden-
titled as Arthur Hall, a Louisville
dealer in secondhand furniture, en-
tered the bank and, after commanding
everyone to throw up his hands "and
get in the vault" began shooting.
Mr. Fawcett died almost instantly
after being shot through the neck and
chest. Woodward was shot through
the liver and intestines and Tucker
was shot through the body and may
die.
Following the shooting the robber
rushed from the bank and tried to
make his escape in an automobile
which he had taken from the curb
in front of the residence of its owner,
Mrs. Walter e. Scott, in Louisville,
forcing the negro chauffeur at the
point of a gun to drive him to New
Albany. But the chauffeur, paralyzed
with terror and apparently incapable
of action, sat still. The robber
jumped from the car and sent bullet
through the negro's body. Turning
down the river bank distance of per-
haps two blocks, the murderer ran
with great speed He quickly appro-
priated skiff at the dock and was
on his way to the Kentucky side be-
fore the frightened citizens of New
Albany knew what had happened. The
alarm was given through megaphone
from a dredge boat and in short time
the police of the little city had started
, in pursuit in fast motor boat, had
, captured their man and had brought
him to shore only to confront the new
peril of lynching.
By a clever ruse, Captain Adams
of the police, stood off the crowd of
200 that thronged the dock as the boat
landed. Commanding the prisoner to
lie down, the captain announced that
the man had taken poison and was
dead, meanwhile carrying him to the
patrol wagon and giving the word to
