A great deal of the Buffeds' chances
for the pennant rests on RuSSell Fofd,

comeback was one of the features OF
the late lamented 1914. he BOWED

added to the staff during the winter.

going to prove mighty strong argu-

Another pitcher whom Schlafly is
expecting much of is Howard Ehmke,
a coast youngster. The boy GENES

The intercollegiate basketball sea-

basketball has not gone into retire

The biggest crowd that has turned
pected to fill the gymnasium to over

student is talking about these games,
and every one is going-going to
classes with an enthusiasm that is
rarely ever seen except on the an
nual occasions when the Blue and
White warriors tackle K U. on the
football gridircn.
Two games will be played. The big
one will be between the seniors and
the freshmen for the championship
honors, and the side attraction will
be between the juniors and sopho-
moreS.
In previous games the seniors and
freshmen vanquished both the juniors
and SophOmoreS, and have tied each
other for the championship. This tie
will be played off Thursday night,
and a bitter, QuarterlesS conflict is an
ticipated. Both classes claim to be

Tigerton, Wis, aMrch 17.-This viii
lage boasts the largest family in the
United States. There aren't so many
of them, but there's lot of each.
At a recent gathering of the Hoff-

which was the biggest man in the

following result: Hubert, 243; John,
233; Matt, 22O; Louis 229; Joseph,
$50; Henry. $50; Harry, 247; J. H,

County Matters Of Coming Importance

At the meeting of the CullfOrd

courn house matter will probably
come up again it the bill in the legis-
lature is passed by that time. This
bill is to allow the county 10 vote
bonds for the construction of a builu-
ing to be used as court house. The
commissioners desire to have the
election as early us possible and to
get the bonds sold that work may
be started.
AS announced with the PROPOSE
ton to build the commissioners wish
to see work started this spring.
Thould the election prove successful
steps will be taken at once to have
bonds disposed of and to remove the
present structure.
Another matter to be- considered
next week is the proposed improve
ment OF certain streets near Green's
boro ara High Point, the commls-
S ,ners having decided to improve
,nese with substantial material. The
program of improvement incindes the
making of a flrst-clasS highway con-
Meeting Greensboro and High Point.
The suggestion has been made
chat this highway be paved with
vitrified brick, but this is regarded
as an undertaking too expensive to
be folio we'd. The brick are not
made in this part of the country and
the cost of shipping them in from
the west would be enormous, not
counting the cost OF putting them
down.

Gigantic Plot to inaugurate
Reign Of Terror ia
New York.

Anarchists Were Planning to Kill
Fl Banks were to Be Blown Up,
h Wealthy Men Stain and En-
tire City to Be Pillaged.
| New York, March 3.-An attemp
to blow up the Catholic Cathedra
and the arrest of two men by detec
tives who had been informed fol
months of their activity was followed
at police headquarters by announce
ment the arrest had frustrated an
/ attempt to kill with bombs Andrew
Carnegie, John D. Rockefeller, Sr.,
John D. Rockefeller, Jr., and other
wealthy men. The anarchists ac-
cording to the police were to inaugu-
rate in New York city a reign of ter.
ror similar to the days of the French
Revolution.
BANKS WERE TO BE WRECKED.
1t was part of the plot, the police
assert, for gangs of men armed with
lifes and revolvers to appear sim
ultaneously in various parts of the
city and to shoot and pillage. The
biggest banks of New York city were
to be blown up. Many wealthy men
were to be slain.
The wrecking of the cathedral was
to be the signal for the opening OF
the campaign. The next move ae-
cording to the police was to place
bombs in the homes of Andrew Car
negie, the Rockfellers and Cornelius
Vanderbilt.
DETECTIVES WORKED FOR. MONTHS
For months the central office de-
tectives had worked in the inner cir
eles of the anarchists. A detective,
Frank Balbo assisted in the manu-
facture of the bombs with which the
attempt was made this morning to
blow up the cathedral. The detec-
tive accompanied the bomb thrower
to the edifice and sat with him while
ne lighted the bomb and hurled it at
the altar. --
Immediately the cathedral in
which 9O0perseas were worshtpping
became alive with detectives. They
placed the man under arrest. De-
tectives dashed into the aisles and
put out the sputtering fuse. The
congregation hardly realized what
had happened until the affair was
over.
