Foreigner Murderedby
Two Men at kenlnare

Minot, Oct. GA murder of the
most fendish and atrocious nature was
committed at what is known as Lewis
Brick and Coal company's siding about
three miles southeast of Kenmare
couple of days ago. The victim is a
foreigner about 30 years of age, five
feet, seven inches tall, weighs about
145 to $50 pounds, has light brown
mustache, and almost black hair.
He was found in box car late, yes
terday afternoon which had been
standing on the siding since last
May. The body was entirely nude,
but the clothing had been cut into
shreds and piled on top of the body.
He had been dead between IL and "a
hours when Coroner Doe and States
Attorney Nestos reached the scene aft
er being notified of the discovery of
the body following the moving of the
car.
There were two bullet holes in the
head. One. of these was a large one
evidently fired at considerable dis
lance from "A calibre revolver. This
one had entered the head about two
inches above the left ear and had
passed entirely through the head, and
evidently caused instant death. The
other was from a smaller bullet and s
had not entered the skull cavity,
merely passing upon the outside of
wound was powder burned. These
things indicate that at least two per-
sons had taken part in the killing.
One of them was evidently at some
distance and the other close to the
victim. There were evidences of a
considerable struggle in the car.
There were no marks on the body nor
nothing on the clothing which would
help the officials solve the problem
of the murder. g.
There was pool Of blood in the
car and on the side of the car where
the side door was partly open, there
was another hand print. A Kenmare
barber recalls having shaved the
man who was in his shop with COM
panion few days ago, but in the
handling of so many customers who
were strangers he was unable to give
the officials any definite information.
Coroner Doe impaneled a coroners
jury consisting of M. c. Branadgua,
Herman Hendrickson and l. G. Wal
stad, who, after viewing the body and
hearing the evidence, rendered YER
dict that the victim came to his death
at the hands of parties unknown and
in accordance with the facts outlined.
The body is being held at a Ken
mare undertaking establishment with
the hopes Of Identification. o.

War Just Beginning, Says Villa

Ell Paso, Tex, Oct. 9.-"The war is
just beginning" said General Villa
with a broad grin on receiving from
his representative at Washington to-
day the news of the recognition of the
Earrarza faction as the de facto gov
eminent of Mexico.
Villa, in his private car of a troop
train ready to leave for Casas Cranes,
had just completed reception to a
party of American women when the
news reached him. In an interview
with newspaper men Villa reiterated
his statement.
The recognition of Carranza will
not change the policy of the conven
ton government. In protecting for
eigners and property. They will be
accorded every guarantee"
Villas assistant chief Of staff stated
that now he would begin campaign
shat would cause many surprises.

Pan American Congress Is to
Recognize Carranza as Ruler

Washington, Oct. 9.-Recognition OF
the party led by General Carranza as
the de facto government in Mexico
WAS agreed upon today by the Pan
American conference as the step to be
recommended to their respective gov
ernments.
Secretary of State Lansing on behalf
of the United States government ex-
dressed it's intention to recognize Car
rama and the ambassadors of Brazil
Chile, Argentine, and the ministers Of
Bolivia, Uruguay and Guatemaula,
transmitted tonight the decision of the
Washington government as we'll as
their opinion in agreement with 1t.
Lansing also obtained the approval of
President Wilson to the plan and be-
fore the conference adjourned other
ministers in the Latin-American coun-
tries also had given adherence to it.
Action of today's conference was re-
garded generally as the most impor-
sant diplomatic step in the Mexican
situation since the United States de-
eided to withhold the recognition from
The Huerta government more than a
year ago. 1t means that the Carranza
government will receive the full sup
port of the United States, and that an
embargo on the shipment of arms to
opposing factions will be laid as soon
as recognition actually is extended,
which probably will be within fort
night.
The fact that the United States al
ready has decided to recognize the
Carranza government is thought likely
to have an important moral effect in
Mexico. The official belief is that
many elements will now align them
selves with Carranza and that the lat
Ter himself will adopt liberal attitude
toward his opponent, permitting OF
reconciliation of the various branches
of the original constitutionalist party
of which he was one of the founders.
Secretary Lansing made it clear that
while the United States could not con-
dition recognition upon the giving of
amnesty or the settlement of other
questions of strictly internal nature
satisfactory assurances on these and
other subjects have been received from
the Carranza government.

And now, we will train the spot
light upon washington and Jefferson,
the college that came within two
points the winning the undisputed
football championship of the east last
year.
". & j. is one of the smaller COL
ieges; in fact it's the smallest college
that plays big league football. But
for two years it has been one of the
very biggest colleges-footbaIlist
6peaking-in all these United States.
Its elevens were the sensations of the
football world. Its 1913 team was the
greatest scoring machine of that year
and it quit the season with an I'M
beaten record. Its 1914 machine was
almost as powerful extensively, and
season suffering only one defeat-a
10 to 9 fluke victory by Harvard.
AS to 1915-well, we'll introduce to
you Bob Folwe1l, coach, the Miracle
Man Of Football, who wishes to say:
wv. & j. ought to have a good
great looking bunch of recruits in
my life"
That's not much for a coach to say
but it's a lot for the modest reti-
cent Folwell-the man who built up
two great elevens with some of the
lightest, dubbiest looking material that
ever answered the call of a coach for
cesses.
Had to do it," is Folwelrs explain
alton. wv. & J. is a small college
has only 500 students. That meant
only about 80 candidates each year.
My job was to get together a football
team-not to complain about the lack
of material. But 1 wasn't the one
who turned the trick-it was the
players. They were light and green
at f1rst-'but they developed quickly .
w. & j. lost some of it's brightest
stars through graduation. Spiegel is
gone-Spiegel the $50 pound halfback
who was the peer of them all last year
-Spiegel, man faster than any ends
who tried to catch him and a man
| that few lines could throw back when
he hurled his whole power into the
plunge. Patterson, a stellar tackle
who earned a place on Walter Camp
| mythical eleven also was graduated
So were some of the other stars OF
| 1914. But there's a promise that the
new corners will fill the vacant places

last year, will be the regular center,
succeeding Cruickshank. Mclean,
veteran of three campaigns, will be
back at guard. Wagner. and Boot
ner, veteran substitutes, are wagfng a
nip and-tuck battle for the other guard
position.
Witherspoon, the real find of last
year, is sure of one of the tackle po-
sitions. Keaton, who comes from De-
troit where he made a great record
as prep school linesman, probably
will be the other tackle. Lally, from
Niles, Ohio; Lyme from Cambridge,
Ohio: Henry from Mansfield, Ohio;
Sinderman. from Cleveland, and VIM
berly, sub-tackle last year. also are
trying for positions in the line.
Collins, a newcomer from Ohio, is
out for one of the thanking jobs. But
he has plenty of competition and the
selection of the regular ends prob
ably won't be made until after W. &
]. has played one or two Of its sched-
uled games. Prominent among the
other candidates are: Mcpherson. P.
Drew, A. Fleming and Rose, who were
substitutes last year; Jack Bovill,
from Detroit. brother of r. Bovill who
played at end for three years; Tag
CART, from New Castle, Pa, and White
hill, the famous end of the Kiski prep
school hast year.
There's a large flock of candidates
LII Tie > JOD. lnCluQlnR
Stobbs, Egan, Moser and Nuss, sub
quarters last year, and Shields, from
GreenSburg, Pa Folwell is finding il
a big job to make his selection from
this quintet of youthful pivot stars.
Ten great looking footballers yearn
for the other bacifield jobs. Heyman
is one of them-and his ambition sure
ly will be realized. He played end
last year but will be switched to reg
ular fullback position this year. ].
Drew, McCreight and Ruble are the
substitute veterans who are in the
fight for the halfback vacancies.
Loughrey and Silvus. two newcomers,
are getting a lot of consideration and
played on the Greensburg, Pa, prel
school last year-thc team that scored
$50 points against 0. And this pair
was largely responsible for $50 points
w. & J. has lost only one game
over a stretch of two seasons: won
80, scored nearly 700 points against
about 20 by its foes-and to us i;
looks as if the 1915 eleven will main
tain the same tremendous speed.
