OTHERS TESTIFY

Testimony of Ray Parisot and other
witnesses who were at the scene was
substantially the same as the story re-
lated in last week g Free Press of con.
ditions surrounding the killing. The
men told of probing the three wounds
in White 3 body with a stick, to deter
mine the depth of the wounds.
One of the witnesses related that
Mcsfeeken had told him of trouble he
had had with White over disposition of
four crooks in the cabin. McMeeken
had purchased the place and effects
from White, and it appears that White
desired to remove some Of the property
Trouble arose over the disposition of
four earthen jars. McMeeken, accord
ing to the story, told White, who was
about to engage in mining, that he
wouldn't need the jars in the mining
business. He insisted that he did, and
finally McMeeken agreed to let him
have two of the jars. These, accord
ingtO the witnesses, McMeeken said
White had already packed ready to
take away on the morning of the kill
ing. He was attempting, it is said,
to remove third jar from the place,
when McMeeken stopped him. An al
tercation ensued, in which White struck
at McMeeken, hitting him on the arm.
~ gave him a S. of b of
n shove McMeeken told one of the
witnesses. according to the witness, and
then White, it alleged picked up a
shovel and was about to strike at him,
when, the story goes, MsMeeken shot
him.
McMecken IS brother. Sam MeMeeken,

RARE DATA BROUGHT FROM SOUTH AMERICA

Professors Edward w. Berry and Joseph T. Singewald, IT,, of the de- partment of geology of Johns Hopkins university, Baltimore have returned from the geologic Investigations in South America.
 The party left New York on April IT and spent six months in Peru Bo- livia and Chile, studying the geology and mineral resources of those coun- tries.
 These researches were made possible through the generosity os the family of the late Prof. George. Huntington
 Williams, who was the first head of
 the department of geology at Johns Hopkins, and the expedition is known
 as the George Huntington Williams memorial expedition.
 Professors Singewald and Berry travelled in all a distance of nearly Is, ,0o0 miles, of which over 1000 miles was done on mule back over moun- tain trails in the Andes. In order tc reach the localities investigated they had to climb to elevations of over 1T, GOO feet and repeatedly sleep on the ground in Indian villages, where there were no beds to be had. In spite ot the hardships undergone, the members of the expedition are most enthusiastic over their experiences and particularly over the results of their work Such expeditions to South Ameries are of considerable advantage both te ] the university and to the United

COL. DOUGLAS PUNCH BOWL
 LOANED BY MRS. J. DANA COI1

In connection with the semi-an- uuaI meeting of the Connecticut So- ciety of Colonial ames, the Webb House Committee, requested the loan of articles for a series of exhibitions to be held in the old Webb home at Wethersfield.
 Mir. and Mrs. James Dana Colt loaned an old punch bowl which has been in the family for several gene rations.
 This bowl belonged to Col. William Douglas of the revolutionary army. It was broken by British soldiers, who entered his home and destroyed his furniture in t776.
 Col. William Douglas was born in P1ainfield. Conn. 1742. At the age of sixteen he engaged in the old French and Indian war. He was chosen orderly sergeant in company under Israel Putnam and took part in the expedition which resulted in the sur render of Quebec in 1759, the end of the war. He soon after moved from P1ainfield to New Haven and engaged fin the seafaring business, became commander of merchant ship, sail ing between New Haven and the West Indies.
 At the outbreak of hostiities be- tween this country and Great Britain he abandoned the water, raised mil nary company in New Haven. He was commissioned r captain May l6, 17T5.
 Early in the next year 1776 he raised a regiment of soldiers of which he was commissioned Colonel by Governor Jonathan Trumbull, joined the Continental army under George Washington.
 Col Douglas was disabled in battle and died May 2sth, TIT at the early ago Of 35 years.
 When the war broke out. and after Col. Douglas had joined the army, New Haven being in an exposed position was continually harassed by the Bri- ish soldiers, who drove the families the whigs out 0 ftheir houses, de- stroyed their furniture with the point Of the bayonet.
 The ruins of the old punch bowl recall not only ca. Douglas, but also of the many men who gave their life and fortune to their country in Colon igl days.

When Footballs Were Stuffed With
 Shavings.

Football, which now holds the ath- letie stagein colleges and high schools, is considered strenuous game. but the style of play in this generation is a mild and tame exercise as compared to the original forms of the sport, ac- cording to a bulletin from the National Geographic society.
 The history of the autumn classic is described by J. R. Hildebrand in a communication to The Society, which follows;
 Running, throwing, hitting. and kicking are the fundamental muscular operations of Americas characteris tic sports baseball football, tennis and golf. The peoples of antiquity manifested all these instincts in crudei form.

 it a 'devilish paStime' and charged it

 Nevertheless, by the time of
