DEFEAT ENDS SEASON
Big Rapids Defeated Alma h. 5. 25.3
Last Friday

Alma High school closed her most
disastrous football season in her his
tory last Friday afternoon at Big
Rapids when Coach Wards young
warriors went down to defeat before
the heavy Big Rapids team The
score of 25-3 does not tell the story
of the game for the local boys played
the hardest game of the year and
though beaten from the start they
gamely stuck and their fighting spirit
won them the admiration OF the Big
Rapids rooters.
With Burgess i'll and Berry out OF
the game with bad shoulder, Coach
Ward faced the hardest proposition
he has had to deal with during his
years in Alma Jessup and Smith
were substituted and though they
never had played the positions before
and had but a few days practice. they
were the stars for Alma During the
second half, Malcolm Smith kicked
field goal from difficult angle at
the twenty-hve-yard line and scored
Alma's only points.
MS season mas been the local High
schools poorest in many years
Starting in the fall with a green team
and only couple of men who had
ever been in the game before, a rather
formidable team was built up. And
then came disaster. Injuries. illness
and the hunting season contrived to-
gether with the result that the team
that played Saturday was composed
of men who were substituting at the
start and the first team men were left
behind This year is what is called
the lean year" for Alma High school
Every college and school has them
occasionally. Next year Alma will be
back again with one OF her old time
teams

POST AORIEA EXAN.
Revealed Nothing New in Mystery
Surrounding Bruce'S Death

Fred Bruce met death from re.
ceiving charge OF shotgun in the
pit of the stomach. fired by unknown
hands, was the verdict Of four OF the
jurymen that sat at the inquest held
before Justice Chadwick last Monday.
The other two jurylnen decided that
il was a clear case of suicide. The
jury could not agree though they were
out until nearly 200 Tuesday morn
ing.
There was strong tendency by the
officials TO believe that it was clear
case of suicide until the testimony of
the witness began to reveal many
contradictions. The testimony of
Perlie Olds the boarder at the Bruce
residence who found the body, was
contradicted by the other witnesses,
while he himself got badly tangled.
The testimony taken on the whole
was OF a rather suspicious nature, but
there was nothing in particular that
would strongly indicate anything but
suicide or accidental shooting.

In determining the meaning of the
word I'm i nera s" in the admin
istration the United States public land
laws, sight must not ue lost Of the fact
that too liberal Interpretation OF the
word would greatly restrict the lands
open to settlement. as well as cut down
the area and consequent value OF the

Obviously if all lands containing

impossible for homestead entryinan,

A mineral protest filed against a

The department will not penalize a

The Barnum and Baily Greatest Show
on Eartn and newly added spectacle of
CLEOPATRA" will exhibit in Denver on
August 2. The spectacle inIitself is an
attraction that should fill the big tent
at each performance and draw thou
sands of visitors from the surrounding
dis tricts
The worlds most skillful scenic ar
lists, co5tuners, property builders, Choir
US directors and stage managers were
engaged to mount the production. A
stage bigger than hundred ordinary
theatres was built and made portable
SO that it can be conveyed from town to
to town and erected each day in the
main tent. 1t is enacted with a cast
Of ,250 actors, grand opera chorus,
an orchestra Of 100 soloists, ballet OF
$50 dancing girls, $50 horses, five herds
of elephants, caravans of camels, and
a trainload af special devices, cos tunes,
and scenery and electrical mechanism
for producing such effects as tightening,
thunder, sand storms on the desert,
volcanoes in action, sunrisd floods and
mirages.
The realism of the scenery is perfect.
1t is as though the audience wss looking
lntn the streets of Alexandria in the
day of Ptolemys. In the middle dis
tance flows the Nile, the mighty pyr-
amids and the sphinx looking down
from past ages. Beyond them sreteh
endless wastes of sand. The laureats of
a dead race speak from forgotten tombs.
The walls of time fall down, and we see
the cobrt Of Cleopatra during its years
of extravaganza and revelry, and hear
the story Of the betrayal of Rome and
the undoiug of Marc Antony, told in a
vividly realistic way. Thrilling acts are
presented by Katie Sandwina. the
strongest and most beautiful woman
before the public: Mae Wirth, the great
est of all riders; company Of japanese
wrestlers, athletics, swordsmen and
jiu jitsu experts, Winston's riding
seals, and Victoria Codona, queen of
