DR.. G.. T. T. Il, the Swope family
physiciar respective witness Cor
prosecuh by whom it was hoped
to prove that DR.. Hyde bled Colonel
Moss Hunton to death.
DR.. Twyman in company with DR..
Hyde attended Colonel Hunton.
Twyman, according to the prosecu-
ton, suggested that only a pint of
blood be drawn to relieve the pa
tient. Miss Pearl Kellar, the nurse
has testified that DR.. Hyde drew two
quarts. Undertaken OFT, who was
present, has testified that the blood
drawn was poured into a basin con-
tanning water with which Hunton's
arm was bathed and that the nurse
measured the mixed liquid. He also
declared that Twyman performed
the blood letting operation.
There probably will be a differ
ence of opinion by the jurors which
only the testimony of Dr. Twyman
could have dissipated. Twyman
died last Monday of diverticulitis.
Two days later the entire outline
of the Hyde prosecution fell into the
hands of the defense when grand
jury proceedings containing a record
of the Hyde-Swope Investigations
we're lost.
Now comes a serious illness of
Undertaken Mitchell, who was ex-
pected by the prosecution to give
important testimony relative to the
condition of the dead millionaire's
body at the time of death.
The fact that Mitchell is i'll of tv-
phoid, a disease which afflicted eight
members of the Swope family and
for which the prosecution holds
that DR.. Hyde was responsible, is an
added coincidence.

The ducking of Leaf was the Gull
mination of a political fight, which

cause Of his involuntary swim was
an article which charged Horton and
Crawford with having been partici-
pants in an alleged drinking esca-

deserve"

Leaf managed 10 swim ashore.

raised by the conservatives was to a
modification of the residential quail
fications, which now required a con-
tinued residence in one house of
nearly two years as a preliminary to
the exercise of franchise. The
holding of elections on the same dav
throughout the country was also a
very sore subject, the arrangement
being calculated to prevent plural
voters" from travelling from consti-
tuency to constituency for the cast
ing of their plural votes"
But the greatest offense of all
was the proposal to abolish plural
voting itself. Men living in two

anger and disgust, "ought the Lib
erals argued to have the same vot-
ing power as men, say with a shop

futility was averted by Sir Frederick

God seems displeased at efforts to
convict an innocent man of awful
crimes on mere suspicion" said
Mrs. B. G. Hyde today, when she
learned that another witness for the
prosecution is near death. DR..
Hyde, her husband, is on trial for
the alleged murder of Colonel
Thomas H. Swupe.
R. D. Mitchell, the undertaken
who had charge of the body of
Colonel Swope, is i'll with typhoid
fever, the malady which has at.
tackled eight members of the Swope
household. To those who make a
study of condolences, and the prose-
cution of Hyde in part is based on
coincidence, there appears to be a
strange fate following the course of
the prosecution.

passenger boats in the lake service.
Snow is falling and heavy wind

Football at Colby.

The first football practice of the Col
by team will occur at $50 this after
noon on Alumni field. Manager Cole
has received word from nearly all OF
last wears squad to the effect that all
will be able to report for tomorroW's
practice, about half the squad arrived
Saturday, the remainder to arrive to-
day.
Coach McDevitt thinks that the pros
poets of the Colby team for the coming
season are good and that with all the
old squad back that the team ought to
make creditable showing in the race
for the state championship. There is
varied opinion among the CODY
PLAYERS as to what the new rules hold
i'm store for them. all agree. however,
that since the Colby team has heavy
and fast backs that they will in no way
injure the prospects of. the team.
In the Colby backfeld this year will
be Welch again for quarter, VINO last
season made such brilliant showing
with his punts and ability for getting
off the forward pass successfully, both
of which feats will play an important
part in the present game. Roy Good
will play again at right half and Will
be as he was last year a consistent
ground gamer, and to be depended on
at all critical places in the game Vail
will be in all probability the first choice
for fullback and that position will be
well filled Joy seems to be the most
promising candidate for the other half
and though not on the squad for any
length of time proved that he had the
material for a good football man.
For the line Hamilton will be the
snapper back and if he is to be judged
bv his past record Colby need have no
fear for her center. Capt. Rogers and
Green will be the guards, keppel and
Beach will hold down the tackles En-
vim and Packard will be considered as
first choice for the ends.
About IS men will report today for
the first practice and will have only
afternoon work until the last of the
week, when Coach McDevitt will give
the men both forenoon and afternoon
practice until college opens Sept. o.

no mention of the new material that

tains some valuable men. who without
