LIVELY COMPETITION
FOR REGULAR BERTHS
ON NULL'S QUINTET

First week of practice for the high
school basket team finds the squad
still OF unwieldy proportions and a
wealth of candidates trying out for
every one of the five positions. No one
has a job on the five cinched.
Thursday nights practice was held
on the high school floor and Coach
Null put his men through a stiff
scrimmage. The candidates were
divided into two teams and staged
real good battle for half an hour. The
teams were divided with Harkins and
Amick, forwards: Green, center; Root
and Lovin, guards on one squad and
Brehm and Walls, forwards: Lehman
and Gaylor, guards, and Sauter, center
on the other These two were evenly
matched and put on a good scrimmage
although their team work was rough
as yet.
Cuts in the squad will be made
within the next few days and from
then on all the attention of the squad
and mentor will be toward the open
ing contest with Knightstown at the
coliseum on the night of Dec. Il.
Over so men are still out for places
on the team and the fact that many
will be disappointed is apparent. How
ever. some good second and third
teams could be picked from among the
bunch trying out. Among the most
promising boys out for the Red and
White squad are: Hide. Wager. Mat
tox. Loehr. Nolan. Kessler, GRATIS.
Stidham. Peed. Mulligan, Sanford,
Ouigg. Schumacher. Davis, Robinson,
Phillips, Spaulding, Hiatt, Nixon and
r. Brown.

FERRY ACCIDENT
RESULTS FATALLY
YOUNG WOMAN BROWNS, CHILD
HAS NARROW ESCAPE
CAR BACKS OFF

The city was shocked late yester
day afternoon when it became knowr
that Gila Anderson had been drown
ed in the Missouri. Miss Anderson
who was the daughter of Mrs. Adolpf
Wig, of the Southside, had come to
town yesterday afternoon to bring
her four-year-old brother, Buddy
Wig, to the doctor. The little boy
had been playing around some ma
chinery and had got one finger
caught and crushed SO badly that,
upon examination, the doctor stated
that it would have to be amputated.
The sister did not want to take the
responsibility of having this done so
wired Mr.. Wig who is at Hannaford,
N. d., to come home. Then she and
Henry Pipal, neighbor who had
brought her in in his car, started to
return to the Wig home.
They had crossed to the other side
of the river on the ferry and Mr..
Pipal cranked the car preparatory to
driving off the boat. The car must
have been left in reverse gear, for
when the engine started it backed
rapidly against the apron, which it
is reported, was not locked, and
which gave way, letting the car run
off into the water. The car was a
Maxwell with a torpedo body and
the top was up. Bystanders say they
saw Miss Anderson attempt to get
out of the car when she saw what
was happening, but as the car sank
in the water, the top struck her
shoulder and forced her down. She
must have managed to push the little
boy free of the car after they went
down into the water, for he was
found about sixty feet down stream,
when he was rescued after being in |
the water several minutes. He will |
probably suffer no i'll effects from
the experience. Expert divers tried |
repeatedly to locate the body of the |
girl, and the river in the vicinity of
where the car went down was drag
ged with a seine, but it was not until
this forenoon that it was discovered
about fifty or sixty rods from where
the accident occurred. The body was
brought to Clayton's undertaking
rooms and it is probable that funer-
el arrangements will not be made un-
til the arrival of Mr.. Wig from North
Dakota.
Gila Anderson was about 21 years
of age. She was girl of sweet dis
position and had always remained at
home and helped her mother care for
the large family of children. She was
q sister of Mary, Inga and Luella An
derson, who live in this city, and
whose many friends deeply sympa-
thize with them in their sorrow.
