CLAIM REFEREE
SAVED THE ILIINI

Lafayette. Ind. Nov. 1s.-Although
Purdue emerged from the Illinois
game without a player injured. the
Boilermakers feel bitterly the failure
to win and blame the officials. Coach
Smith and all the Purdue players and
supporters declare Purdue was treated
unfairly by Referee Magdisohn when
Oliphant was removed from the game.
Oliphant declares he was spiked by
two Illinois players and simply slap
ped Graves on top of the headgear.
Once the ball was taken from Purdue
on the one-yard line when every Boil
ermaker insisted Finn had possession
of the oval Coach Smith says Purdue
would have made two touchdowns ex-
cept for incorrect rulisgs as to pos
session of the ball. Purdue will try
to forget the Illinois game and work
hard to prepare for Indiana next Sat-
urday at Bloomington. The lineup will
remain unchanged

JOHNSON DOESN'T
EXPECT "FEDS" TO
MAKE BIG NOISE

President Johnson OF the American
league returned to his offices yester-
day after a week of quail shooting in
Indiana and found plenty of work had
accumulated during his absence to
keep him busy for the rest of the
month. When asked regarding the ru-
mored move of the minor leagues to
establish continuous baseball in the
cities of their circuits which are in
cluded in the Federal league, Mr.. John
son said he knew only what he had
read and denied that any step of the
sort was contemplated by the major
leagues. He said:
I'VE do not look for any more fric-
ton with the Federal league than last
season, and that was practically neg
ligible. There does not sseem to be
any Indication that 1t will make any
more noise than heretofore"

short range, while Smith swung un-
successfully at Langford's head. Aft
er .Langfords work in the closing
rounds many OF the spectators
pressed surprise at the decision OF
Referee Dick Fleming.
Smith at the start jabbed away with
his left, supplying nearly all the ac-
ton. Langford did not seem to be
bothered by long range blows, turn
ing away many without great effort
and standing UP under others without
defense. Not until the seventh round
did the negro make any apparent at
tempt to force the fighting. Then he
started short range fight and in the
eighth round opened Smiths cheek I'M
der the left eye.
Smith. though regarded as a strong
right hand fighter. relied on left jabs
throughout. Several attempts to land
right swings met with varying success,
but his jabs were continuous Smiths
cheek bled freely as the fight neared
the end, and the blood got into his eve
and blinded him. He also seemed ia
tigued and hung on to his opponent.
while Langford, although apparently
! carrying more weight than at any time
in his career, appeared the stronger.
Langford escaped unmarked.

means. George" The Boer evidently
realized, for he kept as busy as he
could. He was more aggressive than
willard, rushing continually. But Jess
wonderful height and reach kept
George from doing any serious dam
age. Most of his blows were spent
before they reached the mark. A lit
tie claret from the mouth and a bump
under one eye were the only signs Of
punishment displayed by willard.
Jess can whip Rodel. There is no
doubt of that. But he couldn't do 1t
last night. He was punching hard, but
his Judgment of distance was terrible.
Straight rights and left crosses that
would have knocked the Boer dizzy
went whszzing aimlessly into the at
mosphere. Jess did get two or three
right handlers over the jaw. one in the
seventh sending the Boer staggering
across the ring. But the Boer was
game and never was in a serious state.
He was practically unmarked at the

Heavyweghts Put Up Slow Battle, With Kansan Do
ing all the Hitting; odel Unble to Reach
His Lanky Foe.

Milwaukee. Wis, Nov. 1s.-Jess Will
lard made the mistake of holding Boer
Rodel too cheap last night. The Kan
sas giant showed up in the South Side
A. c. arena carrying enough excess
weight to slow him up into a boxing
truck horse and the man from South
Africa held him even during the ten
rounds of mediocre milling.
1t was a shambling collar and elbow
affair all through. willard was so fat
that the flesh on his mid-section and
roly-poly legs shook as he shuffied
across the ring. Jess must have weigh
ed close to 240 pounds and could east
~ have spared twenty five pounds.
The Boer looked like pigmy along
side the big fellow. Rodel looked to
scale about $50. When in lighting po-
sition he looked like a man gazing at
the top of the Woolworth building in
New York.
But despite the difference in their
size, fifty pounds anyway, the Boer
fought the giant to an even break.

Had a Jolly Time

The second annual picnic by
Ely Nest No. 1868, o. o. o. Sun
day at the Owl Park at Winton
was grand success. The weather
was all that could be desired and
the attendance was large. Last
year the picnic was a failure owing
to the weather.
The lodge headed by the Sampo
band paraded the streets of Ely in
the morning and large number of
the members were in line. The
parade broke ranks at the Pioneer
school and the members all took
busses, autos and other conveyances
to the grounds.
A program of sports, races and
contests was pulled off and the
large attendance enjoyed the dance
and refreshments all day and late
at night. The gross receipts were
over $500.

|nfantiIe Paralysis Due to Flies

Infantile paralysis, known to the
medical world as interior poliom-
velitis has appeared in several local.
tiles in Minnesota and is more pre-
valent than at any time within two
or three years according to DR.. A.
J. Chesley epiderminologist of the
state board of health.
There is no occasion for alarm"
says DR.. Chesley, but the disease
had almost disappeared within the
last year or two. We had Is cases
reported in July, more than for six
months previous, and they came
from several different sections of
the state. The disease is believed
now to be transmitted by the biting
stable fly, as laboratory research
has shown this fly can communicate
it to monkeys. This fly may be
unusally numerous this summer,
like other insects. 1t is about the
size of the common househy, but
has different markings and it has
apparatus with which it bites while
the common fly only bores and
sucks"
The great epidemic of infantile
paralysis in Minnesota was in 1903
and 1909, when there were several
hundred cases. Since then it has
gradually decreased.

Matt BaTtOI Captured Here

Monday night Officer Kukko took

Jail for the night. The following
morning Chief of Police LaBeau
called on the party in the Jail for
the purpose of ordering them out
of town when he recognized among
the number Matt Bartol wanted at
Chisholm for criminally assaulting
a little girl and who since been a
fugitive from justice. The assault
happened three weeks ago. Bartol
was somewhat surprised when he
was held. He had given his name
as John Ekblow. The Chisholm
authorities were notified and an
officer came up last evening to take
Bartol to Virginia. The crime
with which he is charged is a Sc
rious one and had been taken at the
time it was committed a 1ynching
would have followed as the feeling
ran high against him. He admit
ted the charge in the Jail here but

FOREST NOTES

Twenty-Five states, including
Hawaii, now employ state foresters.
A 115-foot lookout tower on the
Sitgreaves national forest, Arizona,
just constructed by forest officers,
was built entirely of logs and with
out the use of hosting machinery
other than ropes and tackle blocks.
Forest officers on the Payette
national forest are using a COM
pressed air drill in road work on
the forest. There is considerable
rock work to do and the drill saves
time and money in cutting grades
on mountain roads.
In an experimental test track near
Janesville. Wis, an inspection just
made showed that hemlock and
tamarack ties put in the track with
out preservative treatment were
decayed after 5H years service.
Those which had been treated were
practically as good as when first
laid.

c. L. Pauly and son, Arthur,
went out on the lake Tuesday after

not proceeded a great distance
when the craft was UPSET and both
found themselves in the water.
The canoe was one of she smaller
kind and father and SIN had a diff

stay above water. They shouted
Justify for help. Clifford Miller
heard the cries and went to their
assistance in the launch. Richard
Trezona also heard the cries and
went to help them, he being in his
launch. Mr.. Paully and son feel
that they had a narrow escape.
Mr.. Paully was handicapped in
swimming ashore by stiff should

Friday night at the Shipman
Hospital death claimed one of
Winton's oldest citizens, when R.
M. Erickson passed away. Mr..
Erickson had been at the hospital
for nearly two weeks with menin-

He was about 65 years of age and
had resided in Winton for the past
1S years. Mrs. Erickson preceded
her husband in death by several
months. Two sons and a daugh-
ter survive him.
The funeral took place Sunday

is keenly felt by the firm. Besides
this there is the loss of time and the
and the sale of goods until the firm
can again be in shape to serve their
patrons.
Many messages were received by
Mr.. Miller expressing sympathy
and offering assistance and the
citizens of Ely without party or
nationality have expressed their
regret.
Several fortunate circumstances
surrounded the fire. One was that
there was practically no wind;
another that the fire happened in
the day time and another that the
fire department was promptly on
the scene. The Berglund ware
house near the burning store at one
time became ignited but was
promptly squelched.
Had the fire communicated with
the buildings in the rear of the
Berglund store which is of brick
while all the outbuildings are frame
it would have looked rather dark
for the group and also the barn
and residence of Jos. Rothman.
The fire of Sunday has clearly
demonstrated that it pays to main

The few croakers who have in the
past amused themselves by taunt-
ingly referring to the So received
by the boys for fire calls can now
see that the saving of last Sunday
alone will pay the department for a
full year. 1t must also be remem-
bered that this is purely a volunteer
and that the boys
never shirk a call. day or night.

Remains Of Emmett COtfey Taken
from Waters Of Trout Lake

After persistent efforts to recover
the body of Emmett Coffey who
was drowned in Trout Lake near
Coleraine three weeks ago Wednes-
day, the remains were brought to
the surface Monday evening. The
authorities at Coleralne and the
Oliver Mining company of which
Mr.. Coffey was an employe had
used every endeavor to locate the
body without avail. AS last re-
sort, Fisherman john of Still
water was engaged and his four
davis search was rewarded Monday
evening when he recovered the re-
mains from IS feet of water and in
territory that had been dragged
over hundreds of times in the three
weeks of search. The body was
takeh a short distance from where
the accident is supposed to have
taken place.
Accompanied by Supt. AL.
Peterson and Capt. John Treslder
of Coleraine, the remains arrived
here Tuesday evening and were
taken to the home of the unfortu-
nate young mans parents at the
Pioneer group. The funeral took
place Wednesday morning from the
Catholic church, Rev. Father Buh

ticularly sad and touching and not
a dry eve was discernible in the
crowded church. Six of the young

GAME CUT SHORT
Ey-WInton Game Stopped BY Fire

The scheduled third game of the

Sunday went by default to Winton
as the Ely boys were called from
the field by the fire alarm just as
the jumps" called play ball."
However, under the circumstances,
the Winton boys did not claim the
game and will try again next
Sunday.
The lineup for the game last
Sunday was practically the same as
that on the Sunday before when
the two teams put up an excellent
game Notwithstanding the score
ran up higher than the consistency
of the playing warranted.
