MATT W. DAILY MURDERED.

Ex-Superyisor Matt w. DAILY, OF Du-
buque, was murdered early Monday
morning in his home on Hill Street,
and his wife and niece, are In a very
critical condition in Mercy Hospital, !,
both being at the point OF death be-
cause OF fractures Of the skull. This
crime, the most brutal in criminal
annals, was committed by John r.
Breywood, clerk of Chicago, who,
it is claimed was infatuated with Mrs.
Edna DAILY, daughter-in-law OF the
slain man. The man who committed
the murder supposed that the young
woman was at her father-in-laws
home, and because of her refusals to
have anything to do with him, was
apparently bent on Staying her. me
night of the tragedy she spent with
other reltives in another part OF the
city.
The murderer made little or no ef-
fort to make his getaway after having
slain Mr.. DAILY, and attempted to take
the life of the wife and niece also.
Following his arrest he is said to have
made confession to the Chief of
Police. Breywood gained an entrance
to the Daily home through the cellar
window, and used the furnace shaker
as weapon of death.

HIGH SCHOOL ATHLETICS

Both the first and second teams OF
Manchester High school Boys went
to Coggon last Wednesday evening to
play basketball. The Manchester first
team won with a score OF SO to "a.
The second team with a score OF 10
to 0.
Last Friday evening both the boys
and girls teams Of Oelweir played
basketball at the local high school
gymnasium. Our boys are evidently
inyincible this year. 1t will be remem-
bered that some time ago the Man
chester boys went to Oelwein and beat
them on their own floor. Last Fri
day evening they carried the score at
80 to IL. Our forward, Ryan cannot
be beaten for making baskets and
McKeag can get shot from any posi-
tion whatever. Our guards are among
the best in Northeastern Iowa, and
it is unnecessary to say anything
about our center (Klaus). The boys
have not been beaten SO far this year
and we have every reason to believe
that they will not be in the future.
The Gym. was filled with spectators
and we appreciate the backing which
the town people gave us.
The Girls won in the game Friday
with a score of 26 to 10. The girls have
only been beaten once this year, they
held second place in the Northeastern
tournament last year and we have
every reason for thinking that they
will win first place this year. The
time they were beaten before some OF
the team could not play and substi-
tutes had to be put in. We are sure
they will never be beaten again this
year. AA

was not against Mrs. Snider's ap-
pointment so much as it was against
the idea of having woman on the
board of control. The matter has left
creppy feeling between the senators
and the governor which those on the
side lines will watch with interest,
Governor Kendall thinks woman can
act as member of the board of con-
troll to advantage; one-third of the
Senate thinks not, for the present, at
least. Possibly the appointment may
