locals lost by a score OF 20 to 0, they
put up q good game, considering their
weight, and with the improving Of
their offensive playing, they should
make a much better showing. Two
minutes after the game started, Ross,
the Central fullback, made touch
down and left halfback Gotwals kick
the goal.
The spectators were treated TO a
brilliant run In the second quarter.
Ross, receiving the ball on a forward
pass from Gotwals, dashed halfway
down the field. successfully eluding
every tackler that tried TO block his
way.
At the close OF the FIRST quarter
the score stood 10 in favor Of the
local team, and 1870 at the finish Of
the second.
In the third quarter neither team
scored. Wilmington playing a much
better all-arousd game. In the third
quarter Captain Gotwals again carried
the ball and scored touchdown. He
missed the attempt for a goal and
soon afterwards the game ended with
the final score: Central High, 20;
Wilmington, 0.

CARL A. CARLSON
WAS found DEAD

Sentinel Butte, N. D., Dec. 16.-Carl
A. Carlson. a young farmer whose
place is a few miles southeast of
Sentinel Butte, was found in his
house, dead. He had been away for
several days and his wife was staying
with his mother on an adjoining farm
and when she went to her home on
Saturday the body was lying on the
he'd, but the corpse was still warm so
it is thought that death probably oc-
CURED in the forenoon of that day.
AS near as can he learned the de-
ceased was last seen on Thursday and
his whereabouts during the time that
lapsed between then and his death is
a mystery.
Coroner Roy Walker was summoned
and as suicide was limited he took as
assistants Drs. Smith and McNab, but
an examination of the body and the
contents of the stomach proved the
suicide theory to be without founda-
ton and the coroner. returned a verdict
of death from hemorrhage Of the
lungs.

Mott, n. D., Dec. 16.-The anxiety
which has been felt by many regarding
the analysis report of DIR. Laid of the
A. G, upon the vital organs Of the late
Mrs. Vitze, wnom it is thought COM
mitted suicide recently, has been dis
PEELED and the matter put to rest. The
report issued by Professor Laid,
through H. l.. White, ~taxicologist, re-
veals the fact that a small amount of
chloroform in concentrated form was
all that, could be found of a poisonous
nature within the stomach, and there
by corroborating the advanced theory
that the deseased met death by her
own hands. ,.,,,-.
The report was received by DIR. Red
man and is in the hands of acting
Coroner Lee. 1t is a lengthy docu-
ment but contains nothing further OF
any particular interest to the general
public, aside from the additional fact
that the lungs also contained extracts
of chloroform.

Des Laos, N. D., Dec. 16.-What may
be the means Of Identifying the man
found in the G.. N. reservoir on Nov.
rs, was found quite unexpectedly the
other day, when Miss Lilly Truax,
principal of the school, read a news
paper article referring to a man who
had disappeared some six or eight
weeks ago. Miss Truax wrote to
the police department in st. Paul and
in answer to her inquiry she received
this information:
A man by the name of Needham,
weighing 145 pounds, As years old,
red m~oustache, dark hair streaked
with grey; carried no watch. Had
been last heard from at Grace, N. d.
This description talleys in the main
with that of. the nan found here.
Miss Truax again wrote the police
department and sent them a clipping
from The Observer which contained a
minute description of the man found
here and no doubt the relatives will
be able to reach a definite conclusion.
