Holly, 80 South Tenth street, one af-
ternoon last week, and then engaged
ina desperate fight with Mrs Holly
s9h She came home and found the
trllder. The thief escaped sitter Mrs.
Holly tripped over q rug and fell.
Aa{Ah the thief stepped out Upon Mrs
Holly the supposed female Raffles
was holding 4 sreyolveE which was
pointed directly at Mrs. Holly's head
Before the revolver could be discharg-
ed Mrs. Holly grappled with the in
truder and they wrestled all over the
living room. The thief was not a
match in strength for MRS Holly and
the latter had almost succeeded In
dragging her antagonist to the font
door when she tripped and fell.

The person found burglarizing

Mrs. Holly said today Il will never
forget that face although never saw
it before until we met in my home.
The complexion was livid. Now that

NoHR EXPLAINS Why
TEAM LOSES GAMES

e. Coach Robert Nohr, Jr., OF the Rich
mond high school arrived In the city
this morning from Crawfordsvfile on
No. IS of the Pennsylvania railroad
after travelling all night.
II am not trying to put any alb! fol
the boys showing on the trip" said
Mr.. Nohr, "for believe 1t has done
them a world Of good.
while they lost to Lebanon "a to
IA and to. Crawfordsville so to q, they
played good basketball, but they were
outweighed in both games from 80 to
40 pounds and were badly roughed
Both teams that wes played. put up
the intercollegiate style s.of play and
our boys are not used to 1t. expect
to see us win the tournament With
out any trouble.
Cook Of Indiana who refereed the
game at Lebanon said that he con.
sidered Richmond the best high school
team he has seen play this year and
complimented the boys on their
work..
Tonight Richmond plays at Mayville
and from there will return home to
morrow morning. -

the thief was a woman was the voice
and the fact that the face was abso-
lutely beardless. I could not see the
hair because the thief wore a felt hat,
rim down, pulled well down over the
head
The first words spoken by the
thief after we grappled were. I want
you in here. and an effort was made
to drag me into the dining room.
These words were mumbled SO that II
could not be distinguished whether
they were spoken by man or woman.
redOubled my efforts and had almost
succeeded in dragging the thief to the
front door when fell. Just before
falling my antagonist said, I'll kill
you, attempting to get the revolver
against my head at the same time
These words were spoken in the clear
high pitched voice Of a woman. as a
woman speaks when under great emo
ton. -.
Takes Woman's Clothes.
Il wanted to get that person out on
the front lawn so bad. l would have
held on until help came, but just as
was about to succeed had to trip and
fall"
That the person who broke into
Mrs. Holly's home made no effort tc
secure money, jewelry and other val
tables but only took women's gar
ments, is another fact upon which Is
based the very plausible theory thai
the burglar was a woman.

Richmond could saeta.compete with

team. The teams insthis part Of the
state play a different style OF game
than Is played in our vicinity. but we
should worry. We're getting some ex-

This is q college Town with numer-
GUS ex-stars and everybody plays col

Weight counts up here and 1t Is
used to a good advantage. The Craw-
louisville team outweighed us several
pounds. We're playing against two
odds-referee and floor. This has q
lot to do with winning game. We
have been told in Lebanon and here
that we play too clean game.
Richmond started out with q rush
and soon piled up 9 points to Craw.
fordsville's 3. The game was fast but
Richmond could not return the rough
work used by their opponents Man
ager yTowle threatened the referee but
withdrew on account Of the size OF the
latter.
Brown played a good game as well
as Parker, w. Porter and Mcbride
were used and Dollins replaced Park
err the last five minutes.
Coach Nohr Is well pleased with the
results of the trip for although the
scores may seem overwhelmingly
large, the boys have gained experience
which will go farther towards winning
place at Bloomington than all the nc
defeat records they might achieve In
the Sixth district. z. ....
