A mystery which

A mystery which savers strongly
Of crime came to the police with the
finding Of a note, purpOrted to be
from a girl held captive in a shack at
Paw Paw lake, a Michigan summer
resort.
The note, picked up on a Chicago
street, reads:
'Hely, help, quick. When you get
this come and rescue. -Four men are
holding me prisoner in shack in
woods off Paw Paw lake. They are
keeping me almost naked"
A squad of deputy sheTiffs secured
the woods near the resort yesterday
without discovering the girl or shack.
Still the hoax theory is not given
credence. The same crime has been
committed recently at the resort.

KILLS HIMSELF
South Bend, Ind, Aug. 16.-Silas
N. Ebersole, so, former Dunkard min
lister, committed suicide in the Jail
here today. He was charged with the
murder of 15-year-OId Hazel Macklin,
whose body was found in a vault in
a park near here nearly a year ago.
She had been strangled to death.
EbersOle hanged himself in his cell.
Police today declared he probably
was insane. Since the MackIin girls
death he, has mentioned her name
many times and his actions about the
farm have been peculiar.
The police had woven about Eber-
sole a network of evidence which,
though circumstantial, was consid-
cred by them to be conclusive. Con-
trary to reports that he would prob
ably confess, Ebersole maintained his
innocence until his death. He issued
a written statement declaring him.

CARRANZA TO LET THE PEACE
APPEAL GO THROUGH

APPEAL GO THROUGH
Washington, Aug. 16.-GeneraI
CarTanza will permit the Pan-Amer-
lean peace appeals delivery to his
military and civil commanders.
American Diplomatic Agent Par
ker, Mexico City, notified the state
department to this effect today.
Parker said General Gonzales, Car
ranzista commander in the capital,
had even offered to facilitate delivery
by furnishing safe conducts to mes
sengeTs.
Nevertheless there was some delay
in the issuance of these safe con-
ducts. Consequently many faction
al leaders were still unserved with
copies of the appeal
Generals CaTTanza and Villa had
received theirs, however. From them,
at least, prompt responses were ex-
pected.

Hamline scored again toward the
end of the third quarter. River
Falls kicked off and held Hamline
for downs. Gunther spilled play
after play behind the line. Rich
ards punted and Timm got through
for 30-yd. return. Normal was
penalized for holding, bringing the
ball to their 15-yd. line. Timm
carried the ball to the edge or the
goal line and Hopkins made
the score. Timm kicked goal.
Hamline IS; Normal 0.
The fourth quarter was hard
fought. Normal made good gains
when in the center of the field,
but were held for downs when in
reaching distance. Hamline tried
Timm around the end several times,
but Morrow or Ethan usually spill
ed the play for or s yds. loss.
Hamline tried the forward pass
several times throughout the game,
but did not complete the play once.
Normal made several good gains on
this play. Timm tried twice to
drop-kick, but both were dismal
failures.
The lineup:
River Falls-Richards and Daw-
son, ends; Morrow and WHITEWATER,
tackles; Gunther and Shellhouse,
guards; Williams, center; Schultz,
OBJ; Ethan and c. Egglebrech, half
backs; o. Egglebrech, full-back.

hamlne Scores Two Touchdowns; Normal None


Barring Timm from the Hamline
lineup last Saturdays game would
have resulted differently. But Timm
wasn't barred-in fact he was alto
gether too much in evidence, to
suit the Normal school sympathi-
zers. Timm, let Us explain, was
the Hanline right half-back. Fur
thermore, he was the only visitor
who could advance the ball, And
still worse, it was usually Timm
who stopped the River Falls backs
when they had pierced the defense.
Timm had good support. There
were bunch of good players on the
Hamline squad, but the others, man
for man, were not as good as the
locals. Coach Baird appreciates
Timm and sacrifices the ambitions
of his other players to center all
activities about their star. And it
won.the game.
The individual work of the locals
showed that there is lots of splen-
did material there for champion
ship team. Ethan, the two Egge-
Orechs, and Schultz make back
field combination hard to beat, both
for offense and defense. Richards
and Dawson will defend the end
positions against the strongest in
ter-normal attack, and Morrow at
tackle is the best we've had here Tor
some time. Lack of team work, a
sorry lack of it, lost them Satur-
days game. And unless perfected,
it will lose them their future games.

ed Hamline during the remainder
of the quarter, but could not score.
There was no scoring in the Sc
cond quarter. River Falls made
good use of the forward pass and
wide end runs, but for some I'M
known reason, would not use these
plays for attempts at first down.
Richards punts featured this half.

There is no death. The stars go down
To rise upon some fairer shore;
And bright in Heavens teweled crown
They shine forevermOre.
There is no death The dust we tread
Shall change beneath the summer shower
To golden grain Of mellow fruit,
Or rainbOw-tinted flowers.
The granite rocks disorganze
To feed the hungry moss they bear
The forest leaves drink daily life
From out the viewless air.
There is no death, The leaves may fall,
The flowers may fade and pass away;
They only wait through wintry hours
The coming of the May.
There is no death An angel form
Walks Ger the earth with silent tread;
He bears our best 10 led things away,
And then we call them dead"
He leaves our hearts all desolate,
He pluczs our fairest sweetest flowers;
Transplanted into bliss, they now
Adorn immortal bowers.
The bird-like voice, whose joyous tones
Made glad these scenes of sin and strfer
Sings now an everlasting song
Amid the tree Of life
And where he sees a smile too bright,
Or heart too pure for faint and voice,
He bears it to that world Of light
To dwell in Paradise.
Born unto that undying life,
They leave US but to come again;
With JOY we welcome them the same,
Except in sin and pain.
And ever near US, though unseen,
The dear immortal spirits tread;
For all the boundless Universe
Is life-there are no dead
