Iowa Falls, Nov. lin a siren
uousiy contested game here yesterday,
the Upper Iowa University football
team won from Ellsworth College by
a score of 10 to 12. Early in the first
quarter, Ellsworth scored the hrst
Touchdown on an end run. In the
second quarter the visitors everied up
the score the half ending with fifty
fifty division Of honors. In the Sec
ond half Upper Iowa came back strong
and scored two touchdowns, Ellsworth
failing to hold the visitors. But in the
last quarter, Ellsworth showed she
could cone back and walked right
thru the opposing team for another
score Ellsworth was playing much
better ball at the close of the quarter
and gave promise of evening up the
score when time was called.
The feature of the visiting team was
it's splendid interference, which ele-
ment probably cost Ellsworth the
game, as otherwise. the teams were
Well balanced and about equal con-
tenders. The officials were Ried of
Michigan, and Birch, of Earlham.
The last game of Ellsworth is with
the state teachers at Cedar Falls
Thanksgiving Day. The local high
school was unable to fill it's date today

A rather strange occurrence happen
ed to Hugh Clarke, Jackson county
resident when he received word from
the British government to be ready to
report to a certain place for examina-
ton for service in the British army.
Hugh Clarke was born in England, and
came to this country when only years
old. On Nov. 5, 1894, the senior Mr..
Clarke took out his naturalization
papers in Jackson county, thus becom-
ing citizen of the United States. At
the time Of the father taking out his
naturalization papers, Hugh Clarke
was still under age, making him citi-

England knew nothing of the fathers
actions in becoming an American citi-
zen and was going on the theory that
Hugh Clarke was still loyal to the
king, instead Of being a true blue
American.

A matter that Is being watched with
considerable interest As the probate of
the Wills of Edward c. Stumma and
Mrs. Frank Kinney, the parties of the
recent double tragedy In which Stumma
is supposed to have killed his wife and
then himself in his home near Jesup.
During the time they were living to-
gcthcr as husband and wife. both made
wills in which each left to the other
all Of his or her property in case Of
death. These wills, so far as known,
were never changed and are now offer
ed for probate. The disposition of the
property depends upon which died first.
If Mrs. Kinney was first to die, the
property will descend to an only child
of Stumma by a former wife. If
Stumma died first, the property would
go to Mrs Kinney and thru her to her
husband, Frank Kinney. The matter
of determining these points will be up
to the court from the surrounding cir
cumstances, as no one was witness
Of the tragedy and no one knows to
certainty who was first to die.

with no charge for meter rental. The
company has been charging $3.50 for
