Hi school,. TEAM
HITSITS STRIDE

The Americus High school football
team closed the season yesterday af-
ternoon with 20 to 0 victory over
Richland High school The visitors
were clearly outclassed in every
phase Of the game, and succeeded
in making only one first down. The
local b5s's seemed to have found their
stride and kept the ball in the visi-
tors territory throughout the en-
counter. A marked Improvement in
the defensive side of the game was
noticeable. Perkins, Buchanan and
"Foots" Johnson starred for the To-
Gals, while overly Of the Rfchland
aggregation was in nearly every play,
often throwing his opponents for
losses.
The high school team has been
given the ''razz" by the local fans
for its seeming inability to win
games. The fans had evidently over
looked the fact that the team was a
green one, and had to learn the
game. Prospects for an excellent
team next season seem unusually
bright at this tinie,. as only three
men will be lost by graduation next
June.

PROUD SLAYER
OF OTTER NOW
TO FACE COURT

A case has been made in the
City Court by W. II. sMcMath
county game warden, against Aus
tin Law, a resident of the 18th
district, for violation of the game
law. The case grew out of the
killing of an otter last September
by Mr.. Law and his showing it to
the pupils of Thompson school,
mention of which was made in the
Times-Recorder at that time. It
develops that the animal was kill
cd in the closed season, the otter
being protected until Nov. 20, and
it was for this violation that the
case has been made. 1t is believed
Mr.. Law, like most other citizens,
was ignorant Of the fact that the
animal was protected.
According to Warden McMath,
the animals hide was worthless at
the season in which it was killed,
but if killed in the open season,
late in the year, would have been
worth from $50 to $50.

ARBUCKLE JURY
SEEKING VERDICT

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 3.-The
Arbuckle jury returned to the jury
room from the hotel at 10 o'clock
this morning. The case went to the
jury at p. m. yesterday.
The bailiffs were summoned to the
jury room twice last evening. Once
was to receive request that the
jurors be taken to dinner and the
other time the jury asked that the
doors of the room in the hotel where
Arbuckle is alleged to have injured
Virginia Rappe, be brought to them
70 rexamination. They changed their
minds, however, before the request
could be met. Each request caused
a wave of excitement.
Expert testimony regarding the
finger prints on these doors was the
basis of contention by the prose-
cution that Arbuckle had a struggle
with the girl in the room.
Arbuckle appeared nervous and
paced in and out of the court room.
He had little to say.
Alternate Juror Hopkins said that
the jury had been watched closer
than any other in San Francisco for
twenty-five years. "They censored
our mail, both incoming and outgo-
ing" he said. eve each had sep
arate room at the hotel where we
were watched like hawks by four
deupty sheriffs."
Hopkins told a representative of
the San Francisco Call that in his
opinion, the prosecution had failed to
prove its case and the jury would
be four or five hours in reaching a
verdict.
