afternoon at about o'clock the 3-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. John McIn-
tyre lost his life in Richard Adcock's
barn, which was consumed by fire on
the Adcock farm near Cuba. 1t is re-

play in the hayloft of the barn, but
the cause of the fire is unknown. The
fire was not noticed until it had such
headway it was impossible to do any
thing and they were unable to get to
the loft. Several head of horses were
in the barn at the time and they were
turned loose, two of the animals how
ever made their way back into the
burning building and were burned to
death. After the building had been
consumed the charred remains of the
little boy was found. The parents of
the boy are we'll known in the vicinity
of Valley City and have the heartfelt
sympathy of the entire community.

told Paul that he was sorry he had

A. AND N. TEAM
PILED UP BIG SCORE
Austin College Defeated, 33 to o,
Despite Game Fight Put Up
on Muddy Field.

Thirty-three to nothing was the
score the Farmers marked up against
Austin college of Sherman yesterday
afternoon, but the Sherman boys were
gritty, and it was no lack of effort and
energy that lost them the game
The field was very slippery. A
heavy rain Thursday and a drizzle
yesterday had softened the ground,
and neither the heavy men of the
Farmers or the light ones of Austin
college could get a foothold One
step and it was all off, as a general
thing.
During the game Coach Moran
played nearly his entire squad, get
ting in some excellent practice for
new men and veterans alike. There
were times when the Austin college
line, light as it was, held against the
strong bucking of the Farmers, and
there are good tacklers in the Sher-
man squad, boys VINO are neet OF 1907
and who know how to get man and
when. Several of the Farmers were
taken to the ground by good tackles
at critical periods of the game.
While the Farmers are stronger,
heavier and better than the Austin
college crowd, the grandstand opinion
is that Austin college is just as faI
ahead of Southwestern's team which
Vas here last week.
The scoring was as follows: First
quarter, a touchdown, goal and field
goal; total 8. Third quarter, touch
down and goal; total 6. Fourth quar-
ter, three touchdowns and three goals
total 49, Final score, SS.
Officials-Moles, referee; Sullivan
umpire; Frizelle, field Judge; Dwyer

Can the First Juror in the Mcnamara
Case Be chosen-Time Today
Taken Up In Arguments Of
Contested Points.
tBy Associated Press.I

Los Angeles, Cal, Oct. 14.-There
can be no selection of the first juror
in the Mcnamara case before Monday
at the earliest. A third of the time
in the trial today was scheduled to be
consumed entirely in arguments of
counsel. Every issue of whether state
ments by prospective jurors that they
had formed opinions from what they
had heard about the dynamiting case
should bar them is contested.
This contest centered about the
juryman, f. T. Nelson, the defendants
contending that his opinions are so
strong as to disqualify him, the prose
cution claiming that he could lay
aside these opinions in the face OF
evidence.
Judge Bordwells decision is to be
given Monday. 1t is expected to settle
one of the most important features of
the trial.
