Midqets Lose Game.

In what will likely prove to be the
last basket ball game of the season
played yesterday at the Normal gym
the Midgets lost close game to the
All-stars by the score of 16 to 81
Both teams played excellent ball but
the superior speed of the All-stars
won them the contest.
The Midgets challenge any class
team or team picked from class leag'

The particular stars Of the. game
were Stout, at guard for the Allstars,
and Sandy Toothman, at center for
the same team. Mccluskey guarded
well for the Midgets while Garrett
pulled off two goals OF the sensational
kind. Score:

DOOMED TO CELL FOR LIFE
Supreme Court Decides Wisconsin
Man Killed His Wife.

Madison, Wis, Oct 26.-The state
supreme court decided that Ward T..
Hedger OF Milwaukee must serve his
sentence of life Imprisonment for the
murder of his wife.
Hedger was convicted of numbering
his wife on Sept. s., 1909. The case
was one of the most sensational in
the history of the Milwaukee courts.
Later his attorneys sought a new trial
on the ground Of newly discovered
evidence in the testimony of one Fer
dinand Brautigam, who deposed tina:
he saw suspicious characters around
the Hedger home Immediately after
hearing the muffled sound of a revol-
yer shot. The new trial was denied,
the court intimating that Brautigam
was afflicted with q lively magma
ton
The home life of the Hedgers had
been ideal, according to reports. and
there was little motive to be foun,!
for Hedger's alleycd Crime
