Canon Defeats
Central 4O-13
tBy John NJ. Kersey.,

Last Saturday night Canon City

score Of 40 to II. Tho game was fast
considering the Iop-sided score. Can
on got her passes thru in great shape
and this wss a big factor in winning
the game. 4
The Cadets showed up better Satur-
day night than any other time this
year and had the Wildcats eating out
OF their hand most of the time. Az
was expected Of most teams that
tackle the canonites the Pueblo boys
were playing defensive game before
the second half was over The local
team was weakened by the absence
from the limo OF Corein. however. d.
Parks held down the guard station
very well. Corrin had a bad knee
which was hurt q few days before
this game The Canon fans hope they
will have stone-wail Corrin back with
them before the next game.
The Cadets have habit OF uniumb-
ering one piece OF heavy artillery at

and Goessiing are all shooting The
local boys played hard and there were
fewer fumbies than formally. That
the Cadets were out to win was shown

The visitors scored first After
this the Cadets started % play. When
the half ended. the score stood Is to
Q In Canon's favor. In the second half
they proceeded to show the Central
ties up: after the fir~t half the Cen
trail team was harmless and the local
boys played basket ball all around
them Both sides had few fouls but
they were caused by overzeal on the
part OF the playerr rather than with
the idea of being rough. The game
was q real one and was appreciated
by all that saw IL

Until the American Red Cross began
to extend Its aid the plight of most Of
these men was often piuful. When
discharged from the hospital they are
given certain Instructions which would
eventually bring them back to health,

1 FRENCH HERO GIVEN SENTENCE ON CHARGE
 OF RIFLING LETTERS
Survivor of Charleroi and Possessor of Military Cross Convicted of
 Postoffice Thefts

Paris, January 1.-Correspondence of the Associated Press)-One of the stirring romances of the war had melancholy ending in one of the criminal courts of Paris a few days ago when Pierre Graud, one of the heroes of Charleroi was sentenced to five years imprisonment for rurloining letters containing money and valuables to the amount of more than 4ov,00o francs. The execution of tho sentence was suspended on the recom- mendation of the jury.
 Giraud, under military age enlisted at the outbreak of the war and was in the disaster at Charleroi.. Hit by an explosive bullet he lay on the field three days and three nights before he was picked up by a Belgian manufacturer who went over. the field with a motor car seeking for overlooked wounded.
 Taken to a hospital in Charleroi he was nnrsed by the daughter of the man who, saved him. Later she aided him to escape Helping him into one of the coffins provided for the dead of the hos pital she got him into the morgue, where he remained 10 hours before chance was found to transfer him in q uheelbarrow to the home of the girls father
 His hiding place was discovered through denunciation but Giraud es- capcd on crutches before the Germans could get him and. after various vicis- situdes. reached the frontier of Hol- land. from whence he returned to France ly way of England. His nurse Followed him and their adventure de- veloped into marriage as soon as Gi- riaud' wound was healed.
 Decorated with the military medal aud the war cross. Giraud was rein. stated in his former employment at tho rostoflice
 He was charged with the supervision of the department of registered letters in which important thefts occurred.
 Losses of eters containing large sums of money continued through 10 months nefore Graud fell under suspicion. A search at his residence revealed hoard Of about +0.o0 francs In hank notes and securities that he had extracted from registered letters. Of that sum less than 10,o00 francs had heen applied to Giraud' personal use.
 Giraud said In court that he had no idea what he would have done with the money ard securities. The jury con- cluded tha. he committed the thefts un- der mental aberration resulting from his wound and the sufferings he had en- ,lurcc
 An odd development of the case is shAt the owners of the money and securities have no recourse against the state for the recovery of sthetr property because in each case they had infrineed the laws governing the expe edition Of valuableG by
