town undertakes to handle lot of
this size in addition to the regular

was thought by many in this city
that sentence of life would be i'm
posed upon the man. This belief
was the result of the indeterminate
law being in force at present, but
Judge Lee gave the prisoner the
sentence under the old statutes.
When Judge Lee asked various
questions of McClosky he answered
them as if he was on the street
talking to a friend When the SEN
tence was pronounced not one word
was spoken by the man, but he be-
came pale and when he was taken
from the court room to his cell he
walked out with his head erect and
defiant look overshadowing all
other features. .. ..
When the cell was reached not
one word was spoken by McClosky.
Some of the other men in Jail asked
him what he got but not one did he
answer. After resting his head in
his hands for few minutes McClos-
ky began pacing up and down the
cell, as If he were lion: A look
of hatred came over his face, but
still he said nothing. The other
prisoners got as far away from the
cell as they could, as the man was
terrible to look upon.
McClosky started for Fort Madi-
son yesterday in the custody of
Sheriff Lund.
McClosky, it will be remembered,
became engaged in a fight the even
ing Of Labor day and after having
been put under arrest stabbed Tom
Brown, of Webster City. Brown did
not die. for several days but the
wound finally caused his death. Nc
Closky was indicted by the grand
jury and his trial commenced No
vember u. He was found guilty Of
murder in the second degree by the
jury and has spent the past few days
awaiting his sentence.

THE CHAMPIONSHIP
IS UP IN THE AIR
Webster City and Eagle Grove High
School Teams Both Claim
.....
the Honor.

The foot ball championship of the
Boone Valley Athletic Association is
at present up in the air, both the To-
cal high school and Eagle Grove
teams claimingit. No doubt should
the matter go to the officials of the
society, Webster City will be declar-
ed the champions, as the breach of
faith on the part of Eagle Grove as
to selecting the officials, disqualifies
them. Following the on-appearance
of the local high school at Eagle
Grove on Thanksgiving day, the lat
ter school Immediately put in a
claim for the championship on the
grounds that their opponents did
not appear on the field. In other
athletic games, should but one team
appear for a scheduled contest, they
generally receive the victory by for
felt. But in this case the circum-
stances are altogether different, as
the Eagle Grove officials violated
their agreement and were notified
of the local teams refusal to play
under the conditions demanded by
Eagle Grove. The fact that Eagle
Grove later notified this city to
come on and play the contest with
an umpire satisfactory to the home
ir nj
they were going to be carried to
Eagle Grove had left Webster City,
does not change the status of affairs,
as it was then too late for Webster
City to go to Eagle Grove, some of
the players having left town. I'm
der all the circumstances it would
seem that Webster City has a just
claim to the championship. Accord
ing to the rules in all high school
and college athletic contests, the Of
ficials of the game are to be salts
factory to both sides before the con-
test begins. This agreement was
reached and settled in the custom
ary manner several days before the
game was to have been played and
the failure of the Eagle Grove fac
ulty to live up to it-at least until
it was too late in the day for Web
ster City to appear on the field
would seem in all reasonableness to
forfeit their claim to the champion
ship.
