The Resolutions.

whereas, The information as gath
cred by this board indicates that
walter Bayard Is not eligible under
the rules Of the Minnesota Dakota
conference to participate in the game
between Fargo college and the North
Dakota Agricultural college on Nov.
4. and
Whereas, The athletic board Of the
agricultural college is unwilling to es-
tabIish a precedent by playing any
game in which they believe that the
rules OF the conference are violated;
therefore be 1t
/, Resolved, That q formal protest be
entered against Mr. Bayard and that
a request be made that ne be elm
mated from the game.
That in case Fargo college refuses
to acceed to this request, the athletic
board Of the agricultural college de-
mands that the matter be referred to
an arbitration board of three as pro-
vided in section IA Of the Minnesota
Dakota conference rules.
In case Fargo college fails to debar
Walter Bayard or to arbitrate the
question OF his eligibility, the athletic
board of the agricultural college by
unanimous vote hereby instructs the
general manager to cancel the game
scheduled for Nov. 4.
Fargo College Side.
Prof. 4. L. wanner, chairman OF the
athletic committee of Fargo college
made the following statement regard
ing the trouble:
professor Keene Of the A. G. acting
under the guidance of the A. c. ath-
letic board has cancelled the game
with Fargo college, which was to have
been played tomorrow afternoon to de-
eide the state championship.
mr.. Keene, speaking under the
guidance Of the above mentioned
board has stated that his reasons for
cancelling this game are. first. that
Fargo college has refused to debaE
Walter Bayard from the game, and
second, has refused to submit his case
to a board Of arbitration.
'sThe only point made by Mr.. Keene
In regard to Walter Bayard In that
he Is not eligible on the grounds OF
his scholastic work. In the past all
HuCh matters nave DS6u AS1L 10 SDlkSEe
faculties to decide, for themselves,
and We have no recollection OF any
college faculty. being previous to this,
called into question upon such matters.
1--WE wish furher to state that Wal
Ter Bayard Is q regular student, his
work is In excellent shape and he 10
carrying the full amount prescribed
by the conference rules. We can see
no more reson for arbitrating
this case than that Of any Other rsgu-
lar and full fiedged student.
'Tt is well known fact that Walter
Rayaxd has for three years been q
regular student at the Fargo college
ana graduates this year. Had there
been any bsempt to bring In d stu
dent from outside or any attempt to
cover up any defect In work we would
have been glad TO arbitrate. AS 1t IN,
the action Of the A. G. can have but
one significance, namely. o desire to
avoid the game.
I'm cancelIeing this game the A. G,
fcrfeits all possible claim to the state
championship"

MAN SHOOTS HIMSELF.
Herbert Nelson Kills Himself Acct
dentaliy at Shiloh Saturday After
noon.
rom The Daily Item, Jan. 90.

From The Daily Item, Jan. 90.
Coroner Flowers received notice
Saturday afternoon about %. m
that man named Herbert Nelson
had accidentally shot and killed him.
self at Shiloh about 1870 D. m. of
that day but that the death was clear
ly accidental and it was needless for
him to come down and hold an inquest
over the body.
Later on Mr.. Flowers received an
other message from the doctor who
had been called in, who stated thar
the people there were anxious to have
an inquest and for him to come down
as soon as possible. Mr. Flowers left
for the scene of the killing on Sum
day morning on the 1880 train and
arrived at Lynchburg. about o'clock.
Here he took an automobile for Shi-
loh where upon arriving he found
that Magistrate r. A. Dennis had al
ready held the inquest on Saturday
night. The evidence as stated at the
, inquest and the verdict as found by
the jury was that the man had come
to his death accidentally at his own
hand.
The principal evidence was given
by Thomas Frierson who was in the
room laying bricks on the hearth at
the time that the accident took place.
He said that Nelson had picked UP
the pistol and was turning it round
looking at it when he had told him
that it was loaded and to turn it the
other way. He then turned back to
his work when the pistol went off
| and Nelson dropped dead. The doctor
stated that the bullet had entered
the center of the right eye and that
| 1t had gone straight back into the
| brain. He also stated that death was
| instantaneous. He stated further
that the man was found lying on his
| back on the floor with his right hand
holding the pistol doubled under his
side while his left hand held the mag
azine Of the pistol. AS the pistol was
an automatic one it was possible that
| it had fired after the magazine had
been removed.
Other witnesses who were in the
next room at the time that the wea-
pom was fired stated that they got
into the room as Frierson got up
| from the hearth and started toward
the dead man.
1t was learned further this morning
that Nelson had insured his life for
$1,000 only auout one week ago and
