that his son, Frederick Pershing,' jr., or
his descendants would come back some
day and redeem the fair lands of Alsaee-
Lorraine from oppression"
According to the letter, the Pershings
lived in the village Of Kehe, in Alsace-
Lorraine in l744 and fought under En-
peror Charles against the Magyars. Soon

Steubenvillc, o., March 22.--Probation
Officer Dunlsvey f. Voorhees,, aged 60,
and his son, Frank, 2s, of this city, have
pretty good idea what the sensations
are of circus performer in looping the
loop, or an aviator who does stunts in
the air. While riding in closed auto
mobile which the elder man was learning
to operate, the car plunged over 100
foot embankment, to the tracks of the
Panhandle railroad
Although the auto turned over five
times in its descent, had its top ripped
off by protruding rocks in the cliff and
landed bottom side up, both occupants
crawled from beneath the wreckage suf-
fering only slight scratches.

OPPONENTS GOT
JUMP AT START
But Spaulding Came Back
Strongly in the Sec
ond Period

Members of the Spaulding basketball
team returned to this city early to-day
after having gone down to defeat in a
fast game at Fort Ethan Allen last night
where they met the snappy Winoosh
high school quintet. Although the game
was not in the league schedule it was as
good an exhibition as has been seen.
Nearly 800 were in attendance, Winooski
started off at whirlwind clip and at the
end of the first period had rolled up a
score of 10 to 8. Spaulding came back
strong in the second half, however, and
with faultless guarding and excellent
team work held their opponents down to
two baskets and managed to cage the
ball seven times. The final score was
% to 20. Decisions by the referee were
unquestionable and good treatment at
the hands of the victors is reported by
team mates. A return game is to be
played in this city next Friday. The line.
