ROBBED OF $6S
AFTER ASSAULT
Daniel Manning Relieved of Roll
on Western Avenue

Two Men Jump Out from Behind Tree
No Clue as to Identity-Strangers in
Pool Room.
Two unidentified men attacked Daniel
" Manning, n well-known laborer, as he
was on his way to his home on Crosby
st. Wednesday night, ovcrpowered him
and robbed him of SGS which he was
carrying in his hip pocket. The robbery
occurred near the Home for the Aged on
Western avenue. The assalants had hid
den behind trees and when Mr.. Manning
came along they rushed out and seized
him.
In the brief tussle which followed one
| of the assaiants received three good
cracks from Mr. Manning's fists. Mr..
Manning is almost 40 years old, but he is
handy with his dukes He is unable
to give any real description of the assail-
ants, and no clues to their identity have
been received by the police.
Mr.. Manning had exhibited his roll, and
it is believed the sight of the greenbackS
prompted the robbery.
During the evening Manning was in a
pool room on Elliot street where there
were two strangers who held short con
ference after Manning left and then fol
lowed him out. During the evening they
talked with Richard Chamberlain and
| Sdlu lHtN we're from INpIIHSHPlu, NliiSN
and were looking for somebody here to
distribute booze for them. Chamberlain
told them he thought the town already
was well supplied in that respect. lie
did not learn their names.
Later in the evening or early next morn
ing an attempt was made TO enter the
store of w. J. Pentland on Main street
by rear window, but this was frustrated
as the two catches on the window were
out of reach of the intruders. who broke
II pane of glass in the hope of being able
to reach the catch.

Put Up Warnings.
(St. Adams Messenger. }

A few days ago The Messenger referred
to some of the underpasses in the state as
being as dangerous, if not more so, than
the grade crossings which they eliminated,
because of construction on a sharp curve.
Tragic point was given to this comment
recently when fatal accident occurred
at what is known as the "dry bridge"
Just south of this city on the Georgia
road. UnderpaSses of this nature are
traps, and we who pass frequently over
road and thereby become familiar with
its ms and outs must not judge of its
safety by our own standard. With those
unfamiliar with the road the condition is
entirely different. These underpasses can
not be Strengthened out all in a moment,
but there is no reason why warning sig
nails cannot be displayed. That slight
measure Of protection might be afforded

TWO REAL GAMES

Those who missed the football
games which have been played be-
tween the Juniors Highs of the local
schools honestly missed two. real
classy exhibitions.
The Normal Junior High won them
both-the first, last week Wednesday,
6 to 0, and Saturday, 10 to O.
In the first game Franklin STAN
dish made the lone tally, catching
long forward pass over the West
Siders' goal line. After scoring the
touchdown the Normalites forfeited
their chance to kick goal by touching
the ball to the ground after carrying
it out.
Last Saturday, after the Red &
White VS.. Stout preliminary the
two Junior Highs again tangled.
Franklin Standish repeated his We'd
nesday's stunt, scoring the only touch
down of the game on forward pass,
This time goal was kicked. Near the
close Oh TIE game biSH0AA ~ Wv
Follansbee added three points to the
Normal total with drop-kick from
the 15-yd. line.
In a statement to the press Full
back Behlmer Carisch of the victors
declared that his team would have
won the second game by larger mar
gin if there had been better officiat-
ing.
Captain Raymond Mack of the High
School Juniors said, "We hope to beat
them the next time, as our men were
not in shape for the first two games"
The Juniors of both schools certain
" understand the game. Their roper
toire of plays included most every
thing the game has to offer, from
fierce line plunging, to trick crisis
crosses and a clever use of the for
ward pass. The interference work.
blocking and tackling is all big time
stuff. If you enjoy football, be sure
to see the next game that these teams

The River Falls high school had .
free run victory over an Ellsworth
high school aggregation last Friday
afternoon on the local high school
gridiron.
The scoring started two minutes
after Ellsworth kicked off, Parr circ-
ling left end for twenty five yards and
a touchdown. He kicked goal. just
before the close of the first half
Richardson got off beautiful high
spiral punt of AS yards Ellsworth
couldn't gain and pnnted, Dawson
running the punt back through
broken field for touchdown.
River Falls kicked off in the second
half, and Dawson interr epted Els
worth's first pass and ran 70 yards
for a touchdown.
Richardson repeated the stunt after
the next kickoff, grabbing an Els
worth PASS and racing As yards for
touchdown.
After this score Ellsworth made
her best bid for tally. A River
Falls pass was intercepted, and the
runner seemingly had clear track
to the goal, but Richardson downed
him with a pretty tackle on the 2-yd.
line. Ellsworth lost IL yards IN try

RED & WHITE I; STOUT IA

Lady Luck handed Stout Institute
q IA to z victory over the River Falls
Normal in the first conference game
of the season here last Saturday
The teams. were just aboutsas even
" matched as two teams could be,
with the visitors having a slight adj
vantage in the strength of one side
of the line.
Stout got the jump on the locals
right after they kicked off and re-
covered Murphy's tumble on the 70
yd. line. From there they marched
right down through for a touchdown
and kicked goal.
Stout kicked off again, and on the
first scrimmage recovered a tumble.
They could not gain through the line
and attempted a drop-kick from the
80 yd. line, but it was fizzle.
They returned Murphy's punt Is
yards but could not penetrate the Red
g. White line. An end run was spilled
by Morgan for an sgd. loss. They
tried another drop-kick but it fell way
short. At the close ofethe first quar-
ter Stout had the ball, having recover
ed fumbled punt.
In the second quarter they made a
promising march toward the goal, but
we've held on the lloyd. line, from
where drop-kick was tried. It miss
ed the bars by a scant foot. The re
mainder of the half was played in tbs
center of the field.
River Falls kicked off to Stout and
on the second play recovered a Stout
tumble. Standish raced 35 yards Is
the 15-yd. line. Raab and Murphy
added 8 yds. Murphy then pass-l to
Raab, who fumbled the ball when he
was tackled on the yd. line. The
ball rolled over the goal line and Nor
gan fell on it for a touchdown.
At the close of the third quarter
Stout punted to the 20-yd. line. River
Falls was held three downs, and at
tempted a pass on the fourth down
The pass was intercepted by Stout
and returned to River Falls Sgd
line. Three tries Melted but 5 yards
The final attempt, off tackle, result
ed in touchdown.
There was ample room for dispute
on this play, as to all appearances the
ball was certainly not over the line
when the whistle blew. In the en-
suing scrimmage, however, the ball
was pushed up to the line, and the Of
ficials allowed the score.
River Falls worked the ball down
toward the Stout goal, but q final pass
to the line lost the locals their last
chance to even the count, and tht
game ended with the bali in Stout:
