DAVE DUNN STARS
Local Player Scores Touchdown That Saves Elm City Eleven From De- feat in Bridgeport.


 Bridgeport, Oct 29.-In one of the most bitterly fought games ever waged in the city. the Annex foot ball eleven of New Haven, and the American Chain company combina- tion of Bridgeport battled to to game here yesterday afternoon, be- fore the largest crowd which has yet witnessed game in this city this season.
 Determined at revenge as a result of the beating handed them last year, by this same team, the American Chain company eleven, started in championship form, and although no score resulted in the first half of the contest, the Bridgeporters outplayed their opponents, and for while it looked as though the Park city teams ambitions might be attained, especially when in the third period they finally succeeded in putting the ball over the New Haven CTS line. However, the score did not remain in favor of the locals very long, for in one of the most sensational comebacks ever staged in a football contest in this state, the Annex backfield carried the ball from their own 20 yard line clean down the field and over the Bridgeporters goal, without once loosing it, thereby placing the state cham mpionship again in doubt, and also wrenching from the locals the winnig honor.
 Dave Dunn, the plunging fullback scored the touchdown for the Annex. Reilly made the Chain company's points.

TORTURE UNDER CAR
RAMONA MAN PINNED FOR MORE
THAN AN HOUR BENEATH
MACHINE.

One of the most unusual cases of
torture as a result of an automobile
accident that has been reported in
this district for a considerable time
was that in which George Zetner,
about 80 years of age, of Ramona,
figured yesterday, and which may re
suit in the victims death.
With an iron spike several inches
in length in his right leg just below
the hip, Mr.. Zetner lay pinned under
a car for more than an hour. When
found he was almost dead from pain
and exposure.
Mr.. Zetncr was driving about a
mile and a quarter southwest of RAJ
mona There were several pigs in
the road at that point. The car
struck one of the animals and top
pied. Mr.. Zetner, who was alone,
was thrown only partially under the
machine. He was rescued by Jacob
Muggli. who was passing in his car.
The man was taken to Ramona,
where first aid was given by DR.. j.
G. Baker. DR.. II. S. Westaby, of this
city, was called into consultation. 1t
was decided to bring the injured man
here. A report is current that while
suffering under the car, Mr.. Zetner
tried TO get a knife from his pocket
to cut the flesh from his leg suffi-

port could not be verified.

cattle STARVE"
FOUR ANIMALS DIE, TIED IN
STALLS, FOR WANT OF
FOOD.

One of the most fragrant cases of
cruelty to animals that has come to
light in this section for a consider
able time, was reported today by
Sheriff E. A. Keller, after a visit to
the c%hautauqua grounds. where he
found four cows which had been per-
mitted to die Of privation.
Complaint had been made to Sheriff
Keller that conditions among the
nine head of cattle, owned by a Mr..
and Mrs. Sweet, who live, during the
winter months, at the hotel at the
chautauqua grounds, were not as
they should be. The officer investi-
gated. He found that both the dead
cattle and those still alive in a con-
dition which plainly indicated, he
said, that recently they had been fed
only at rare intervals.
"All were just skin and bones, .
the officer told.
This afternoon Sheriff Keller went
with a stockbuyer to the place. The
man and woman were given an oppor-
tunity to place a price on the cattle
which were still alive. If the pres
ent owners do not consent to sell the
cattle for a reasonable sum the cattle
will be taken from them and proper

BETTER FURS NOW
TRAPPERS IN LAKE COUNTY
GETTING FINE QUALITY
OF PEITS.

Seldom, if ever, before has there
been a more favorable winter than is
the present one for trappers in this
section.
There are three reasons for the
prosperous business of the takers OF
fur bearing animals. One is that
muskrats and weasels here are plen-
tiful. Another is that the furs, on
account of the weather having been
unusually cold early in the season,
are of extremely good quality. And,
besides. prices are high.
w. T. Stearns, for many years a
fur buyer in Madison, said today that
good winter" rats now bring about
35 cents each. which is some Is cents
more than was paid for the same
quality of skins a year ago. The
winter" rat is one whose fur, be
cause of its quality, will warrant
dressing for imitation seal-common-
ly known as Hudson seal. Rats
whose pelts are used for Innings OF
coats are of an Inferior quality and
bring less than do the winter rats.
Fewer weasels than usual are be
ing brought to market this winter.
Mr.. Stearns told that trappers had
informed him they did not consider
il worth their while TO trap for wea-
sells. when muskrats are comparative
ly plentiful. Skunk skins of good
quality now bring as much as S2.50
each, which is about 10 per cent
higher than a year ago.
That the muskrat is one of the
most frugal of wild animals that does
not hibernate throughout the winter
is indicated by the fact that a trapper
last week reported he had found more
than two bushels of thoroughly
husked corn in the burrow of one
family of muskrsts.
Since the present mild spell set in,
men who follow trapping as a busi-
ness and boys who trap on days on
which there is not school, have taken
a large number of the animals. Dur
ing the extreme cold of a couple OF
weeks ago trapping was all but given
up, for the time, as the animals, to
get away from the cold 'burrowed.

ly housed. Such action is authorized
by law. The couple could be charged
with a criminal offense. but because
of their advanced age they probably
will not be prosecuted, Sheriff Keller
said.
There was some feed for the stock
at the place. The sheriff gave as his
opinion that feeding the animals was
neglected because the barn in which
the cattle were kept is a considerable
distance from the present home of
the couple, and that they did not,
during the recent cold snap, are TO
walk the distance necessary, to pro-
tect the live stock i.

Refreshing STORY
MARRIAGE OF MABEL MAT
THEWS AND ANDREW kOP-
PERUD DISCUSSED BY LAT
TIERS HOME NEWS
PAPER.

While the recent marriage of Ma
bel Matthews, of this city, and An
drew Kopperud, of Webster, at the
home of the brides mother in Mad
ison, is still a pleasant event talked
about here, the friends of Mr.. Kop-
perud in his home town evidently feel
entitled to get into the delightful dis
cussion. People will talk, but it is
not at all likely that Mr.. and Mrs.
Kopperud are listening to people talk
as they enjoy their honeymoon amid
the tropical environments of far off
Cuba. Two is a lovely company, but
three is a surging crowd on some oc-
casions.
After quoting The Daily Leaders
story of the marriage, the Webster
Reporter and Farmer says:
Say girls, wouldn't that frost you,
and after the way "Kopp" has been
acting around home, too, but then
you never can tell.
We can get even with him by SYM
pathizing with the poor deluded
bride. Just think what she's got to
contend with, love, honor and obey,

both shall live" and we hope that
will be for a long time-many years
she probably deserves it. Mrs.
Kopperud will probably bear up un-
der the affliction, for she is a hand
some and accomplished young lady of
extraordinary ability" We have not
the honor of a personal acquaintance,
but we know this estimate is right
for a few days before "Kopp" left for
Madison to take the final plunge, he
called us into the bank, way back in
the rear end, and impaired the in
formation in the strictest confidence
just as he did with 700 or 500 9th
er friends. and who would doubt such
superior judgment after the years of
experience. ! wouldn't, would you?
The Leader says: Mr.. Kopperud
is recommended as a young man of
sterling qualities" Recommended
is good. but we will put ii proven
for during his residence in Webster,
he has become one of her leading cit
liens, both in business and social cir
cles, and decidedly popular with all
of her people. He is liberal with

and an honor TO hold as a friend; in
fact, is all that becomes a man. We
are more than half inclined to with

bride, and candidly admit hat she
might have done worse.
We reserve u congratulations
until the arrival of Mr.. and Mrs.
