 KEEPS ALIVE FOR AN HOUR

BEbLINGHAM, Wash. Feb. B. Physicians are interested in the re- port that Mark Abbott of Bellingham, Wash, kept his baby. just born, alive more than an hour by breathing in its mouth.
 There is no record of similar case 80 far as known.
 The father was frantic at the news of the attending physician that the baby could not live. He bent over the tiny bit of humanity and tried |, : keep the spark of life alive by breath ing into its mouth. his, own breath.
 At the end of an hour he was. re- heyed by 2 pqlmotor. The spark qf life which, seemed to keep a steady glow under the fathers breathing be- gan to fade and the parent again tried to bring about the respiration.
 At the end of half hour he was forced to give up. The physician s stethescope told that the babe had ceased breathing. Some obstruction prevented and ell efforts of the physi- clan to make the child cry in an en- deavor to remove the hindrance were futile.

 SECOND GAME OF SERIES

The Moose team last night won its second game in the series for the championship. defeating the Pinzon team by a score of 46 to 3S. in one of the cleanest and best games of the season. Both sides played excellent ball and some pretty team work was shown. While the Moose team has been the victor in the series so far, in reality the playing of the three teams,--Liscum. Moose and Pinzon - are so close that there is very little to choose from. All three teams play good ball. and the games in ev- cry instance have been so close thai the issue has been in doubt until tte end of the game.

sPANELL TELLS OF
 A RUINED HOME

SAN ANGELO, Tex, Feb. B.
 During an impassioned plea in his
 own defense Harry J. Spanell on trial
 for the murder of his wife, Crystal
 Holland spanell and Lieutenant Col onel Matthew c. Butler, U. S. A.,
 cried out in crowded courtroom this afternoon:
 Crystal was as pure as snow at the
 time of her death."
 Spanell broke down and cried sev-
 eral times during the course of his testimony. He defined his wife's character but charged that Colonel
 Butler had attempted to ruin her. 'I first saw Butler in May of 1916, when he came to our hotel," said Spanell. A clerk introduced him to my wife when I was absent. I didn't like his looks from the first. He ask ed me on the second day I met him
 to show him around town. I told him I was not that kind of a man.
 Then he tried to monopolize my wife's attentions.
 Colonel Butler had a car and ask ed us to go driving in the evening. We could not refuse as he pushed himself on us This continued from
 day to day. Finally we had an in- vitation to attend dance at Maria, thirty miles away. We did not want
 to go, but finally did because Mrs. Spanell wanted to hear the music.
 Returning home that night I sat in the front seat of the automobile
 with my wife and Butler in the back.
 He kept pumping against Mrs. Span-
 ell. Finally he caught hold of her
 foot That's me-" she said and asked him what was the matter. He said he
 was looking for his pistol scabbard OH the floor. He knew his scabbard and pistol were under the car seat. Neither my wife nor I was satisfied
 with this explanation and we talked
 about it after we got home. "The next morning l wrote let ter to Butler, signing my wife's name. I asked him what he meant. Butler answered the letter and apologized. I then went to Butter told him I had written the letter and told him not
 to make his attentions to my wifc quite so marked. that Alpine was T small town and the people would not understand. He promised that he
 would not
 In the middle of Spanell's recital lis attorney suddenly asked him if h." believed his wife was faithful to hin lat the time of this incident. "She was pure then and as pure as snow at the time of her death." Spai:- ell declared, and burst into tears. The court ordered recess.
