same order. MacManus tried once for
a drop kick in the third quarter but
the wet heavy ball miscarried and the
play resulted in a touchback for the
Valley. In the final quarter, a little
better judgment might have resulted
in a field goal. On the third down with
the ball only 10 yards from goal, Mac
Manus signaled for a drop kick and
with every chance in the world of
making it, but other members of the
team induced him to try one more play
before kicking and the old play took
the ball clear TO the sidelines and the
chance for a kick was spoiled. The
game ended with the ball in about the
middle Of the field and in Spring Val

night near the corner of Gibbon and
Patrick streets between several
Young men, during which Orrie Brown
assaulted Frank Rollins, cutting the

of Rollins, Brown followed him ana
struck him across the forehead with
a stick. His statement was collo5-
Grated by witness. Justice Catcn

lot SPELL ON THE WANE.
Showers Are Reported on the Way
to Bring Temporary
Relief

The hot spell which has prevailed
in this section for the past week or
more is on the wane, but the relief
promises to be only Of short duration.
A low pressure area is sweeping tow
ard this vicinity from the middle west
which will be accompanied by rain
storms. The forecast shows that the
weather is likely to be somewhat I'M
settled, with light southerly winds be-
coming variable.
Although complaints of great heat
were heard on all sides yesterday, the
temperature in reality maintained a
fair average. The day started IN with
temperature of y degrees at a.
m. The mercury climbed steadily UNI
til at 9 o'clock 70 degrees had been
reached. BY o'clock the highest
temperatures of the day had been re-
corded. when the thermometer regis
tered 81 degrees. 1t is the high hum
idity that causes the sticky, uncom-
Portable conditions and which deludes
the average citizen to remarklng that
the day is certainly the hottest Of the
year.
June = was the hottest day this sum-
mer. when the mercury climbed until
it had reached minimum of 50 de-
grees. Yesterday year ago the
thermometer recorded maximum OF
~ degrees in this locality. The rain
will GO a long way toward riding the
atmosphere Of the humidity which
has made its presence so much felt
since the last week of June was enter
ed upon.

then seized her and carried her into
the thick woods beside the road.

threatened her with instant death. The
Girl tainted and she knew nothing
again until she was awakened by the
pain in an arm which was already
badly burned from a fire beside her.
She found way to her home and told
ncr pitiful story.
She had been robbed of the money
she carried in a purse, and of Il ring
she wore. Most of her clothing had
been stripped from her. Investigate
ion showed that the clothing had been
placed on the fire which the miscrcant
had started.
