resuming the stand, this afternoon. tes-
titled that Edgar Jacobson made this re-
ply to him in response to question after
the body had been washed.
Deputy Sheriff Bert Drake identified
wearing apparel taken from Jacobson,
also the rife found beneath the body and
the suicide" not attached to the fish
pole, which had been given him by Mrs.
Jacobson. Sheriff E. G. Bryson also
identified them and said they were given

Dr.. Lagerson's Story.
DR.. Victor E. Lagerson of New Swe-
den, one of the most important state wit
nesses, said he was not aware that ia
cebson had been shot when he was called
to the house by Oleson.
DIR. Lagerson testified that the ov-
ercoat was unbuttoned. The upper
button of the undercoat was button
ed. There were two clean cut wounds
on the body and two wounds on the
right side of the head Near them
was wound on the skull which APP
peared to have been made by a gun
shot. It was irregular in shape. All
the under garments as low as the
| knees We're saturated with blood.
There was no blood on the coats, but
the back of the neck and head were
covered with it.
The death was reported by him as
a suicide by gun shot wounds. The
coroner to whom he reported was I'M
able to go to New Sweden so he took
charge of the body. The coroner did
not arrive for several days.
Asked if he found any wound,
which might not have been made by
bullets, he said a swelling on the
right side of the head and upper por-
ton of the ear was discolored and an
eye was discolored and swollen. He
identified the note as that found on
the fishing pole. He read it aloud at
the time. The substance of it was
that he was tired of living, that he
was in other peoples way and that he
had decided to take himself out of the
way.

Rough Basketball
At Roller Rink

One of the toughest games of basket
lall of the City League season was play
ed, Friday evening, at the Select Roller
rink between the Bright Star team, rep
resenting the rink, and the Cony Alumni
team. The game resulted in a score of
II to II III favor of the Alumni team,
and President Murree of the league an
nounced that the game would be pro-
tested when 1t was finished.
The crowd was in an uproar through
out and Referee Smith was compelled
several times during the game to stop
the hooting and kissing, after having
called fouls on the Bright Star players.
Many of the crowd were of the opinion
that Smith favored the winners, while
on the other hand many thought that
Smith did the best he could. Referee
Marshall was compelled to be absent, but
if he had been present there would un-
doubtedly have been less arguing and
more basketball playing
In the latter part of the game Capt.
Brown of the losing team threatened to
leave the floor after protesting against
a decision of Referee Smith. and 1t took
the entire efforts of his men to get him
to resume the game
The majority of the crowd seemed to
think that the calling of so many fouls
on the Bright Star men was the cause
of the Alumni bunch winning the game
but at any rate the Cony boys had hard
tussle to win and the losers put up q
good, serappy, uphill game.
