MAN WITH THE MONEY
IS STILL BEING HELD
FRED DICKSON SAYS HE EARN.
ED THE $500 WHICH HE CAR.
RES AROUND WITHOUT
THOUGHT OF ROBBERY.

Fred Dickson is still being held a,
the county Jail, but Sheriff Berry
thinks he will be given his liberty
in a few days. Dickson is the party
whom Sheriff Berry arrested in the
vicinity of LOOMS last Sunday
night when he was looking for the
unknown tramp who made the as.
sault on the little girls near the dump
grounds that afternoon. The sheriff
traced a party up toward LOOMS,
whom the people said along the way
was trying to find a place to sleep.
When the sheriff arrested Dickson
and searched him he found $4,000
on his person. Dickson was able tc
convince the sheriff that he knew
nothing of the attempt at the DUMP
grounds. The sheriff, however.
thought that a M who was running
about the country with that much
ready cash on his person must be Of
a suspicious character and that the
money came to him in perhaps q
questionable manner. Dickson de-
clared that he came by the money
honestly. He said that he had been
working pretty steadily for the past
twenty-five years for farmers and
doing odd Jobs and that he has been
saving his money. He has travelled
over a great section of the country
and preferred to carry his wealth
along, Notwithstanding the fac. tina,
he might have been easily robbed
should he happen in with the right
kind of associates in travelling ove1
the country. Dickson said that he
very seldom has ridden on a railroad
train, and that he rarely stopped at
a boarding house, and in most all
instances he put up with farmers and
preferred to work for them because
he could always get his boara.
He is about SO years old and does
not indicate in his talk that he has
anybody who is interested in his well
fare, and for that reason prefers to
travel owe the country. He shows
himself to be sor Of an eccentric char
acter by the way in which he talks

COLLEGE ATHLETES
N THREE MILE RUN
FRANK GRACE CARRIES OFF
GOLD MEDAL, CLARK POTTER
GETS SILVER MEDAL AND
A. D. ATKINSON, BRONZE.

Starting and finishing at the grand
stand in the athletic park over at
the University the first annual cross
country run for the Alumni Medals
was pulled OF Friday evening, after
classes. The college was represent
ed by " men and the academy
and school of commerce by eleven.
The college s~printers were under the
captainship of Frank Grace and the
Props and Commercials were led by
Frank Potter. The men ran over a
course a little more than three
miles long following the section lines
Immediately south Of the college
campus. Practically the whole
course was visible from the grand
stand and with the aid of field glass
es all the runners were able to be
distinguished at any time curing the
race. A small crowd of students
was on hand to witness the contest.
The starting gun was fred at 4:45
o'clock and exactly nineteen minutes
later Frank Grace crossed the line
with Clark Potter following scarce
ly a rod behind. A few seconds la
ter Archie Atkinson crossed the line
and his plucky race was a surprise
to most of the spectators. He is a
short slender lad and apparently
does not have any reserve strength,
but he has been training consis-
tently and we'll deserved the beauti-
full bronze medal which he won.
The college was declared the win
ner of the run.
The medals for this event were do
mated by the Alumni of the Univer-
sity and it is their intention to make
this run an annual affair. Coach
Douglas and Frank Grace are chiefly
to be credited with working up en-
thusiasm in the event and suggest
ing to the Alumni the establishment
of the prizes.
1t is interesting to compare this
run with one held at Vermillion
about a week ago. Vermillion and
Wesleyan will probably be the two
principal contestants for honors in
the two mile run at the State Meet in
May. The Vermillion run was pull
ed off in the athletic park, the con-
testants running around a cinder
track enough times to make up
seventeen minutes and 5 seconds.
The Wesleyan Cross country run was
run across country, I've country
roads, over or through six fences
part of the time against q severe
wind, and over a distance of at least
three and a quarter miles and
probably farther-the course has
never been accurately surveyed-and
the winner finished in nineteen Sec
onds. The Methodist boys feel that
they have a reasonably good chance
in the distance runs at the state
meet. 1t might be added that Mr..
Grace the winner Of the local run fin
ished second in the two mile run up
at Huron last year, breaking the pre-
vious state record in that event.

The Love Affairs of Handel.

Women greatly admired Handel,
who was very handsome, but the
serenity of the composer seems only
to have been ruffled twice by love on
his part. His first attachment was to
a London girl, a member of the aris-
tocracy. Her parents believed him
beneath her in social position, but were
good enough to say that if he abb
stained from writing any more music
the question of marriage might be en-
tertained. 1t was easier to abstain
from their daughter than from his art.
and he did so. Years after almost the
same thing occurred. Handel and an
other beautiful pupil of his fell in love
with each other, and proud parents
gave him the choice between giving
up his profession or their daughter.

WEIGHED $50 POUNDS.
Sehober Could Eat q Whole Turkey at
One Meal


The largest coffin ever built in New
Jersey was constructed to hold the
body of George Schober of Jersey
City, wealthy retired butcher. Scho-
Der weighed $50 pounds, and twelve
strong men acted as pallbearers
Schober was six, feet tall. He was
a jovial man and an enormous eater.
and at Christmas and Thanksgiving
he was in the habit of having prepar-
ed for his consumption an entire tur-
key with its necessary garnishments.
At each meal Schober ordinarily ate
as much as his wife and four sons to-
gether. His usual breakfast consisted
Of dozen eggs. pound or two of
ham. the greater part Of loaf Of
bread and two quarts of milk 1t Is
said Schober was always hungry.
About year ago his weight became
too much for his bones, and he was
forced to retire from business. The
undertaken had to call on four men to
assist in lifting the man to prepare him
for burial.
The coffin was six feet seven inches
long. twenty-nine inches high and thir-
ty-nine inches wide. 1t was built of
one and half inch chestnut.
To get the coffin out of the house
one of the windows was removed, as
none of the doors was wide enough

was tall and thin, and his friends can

Chill Con Carne,

From remotest Mexico comes tnis
recipe for chill con carne. which is
capable of warming whatever cookies
the heart may have and of diffusing
calories to ones works at large: First
comes a fire of logs in the open. Second
comes an ola of generous proportions.
Into the OLA put gallon of water and
plenty OF the hot chilis, and in tha.
region Of Mexico they rpen SO hot that
not even the rattlesnake will dare take
refuge in their shade. Upon this be-
ginning lay as much of side of beef
in one piece as may be squeezed into
the pot. Set the cover on this ola and
lutte it down with clay. Then put the
pot into the fire and heap the glowing
Goals all over it, with particular atten-
ton to the lid, so that the luting may
bake into brick. Keep the fire burning
slowly all day long. When night has
come scatter the embers, break the
brick seal of the ola, fork out and
throw away whatever of the meat re-
mains solid. The remainder is the chill
con carne. No sauce is needed.
