no injury In the game Sunday suffi-
Client to have caused his death. He Is
understood to have been injured on
the head in the game between the
Legion team and the state university
on September 30,l and this injury or
over exertion in the game yesterday
or a combination of the two may have
caused the fatality.
The injury sustained on September
80, however, did not appear at the
time to have been of a serious nature.
Schwam was taken out of the game
for q few minutes rest. but then re-
turned and finished out the contest,

Of Paul Maton at Biefait last Wednes-
day. was taken to Fargo yesterday
where an extradition hearing was to
be held.
Federal officers said today that they
believe more developments in the
matter will take place soon, although
not divulging the nature of them.
Authorities have been inclined to
story, and the day following the mur-
der made a search of the Dillage farm
infan effort to locate the liquor, but
were unsuccessful. Although they did
not recover enough liquor to equal
the amount thatJDillage is supposed
to have purchased in Canada. the
officers expressed the belief today
tHat tnere are possibly other caches
which they did not find and which
probably conceal the remainder Of the
cargo alleged to have been smuggled
across the Canadian border.
At both places the liquor was we'll
hidden. The liquor at the Martenson
place gave every indication of having
just been put there. it is said. as the
sacks in which it was piled up looked
practically new. Martenson told the
officers that only three cases of the
| liquor belonged to him and the re-
| mainder, he said. was Dillage's. He
has indicated a desire to plead guilty
and probably will be taken before
Judge John c. Lowe some time today

MAY Evacuate Thrace.

Constantinople, Oct. s.-(By The
Associated Press.) "A dispatch from
Athens to the local newspaper Kirk
says the Greek government has in
structed General Mazarakis to sign
the Mudania armistice convention
thereby agreeing to the evacuation OF
eastern Thrace.
Greeted as Liberator.
Adrianople, Oct. S.-(By the Asso-
ciated Press.)-General Anstasios
Leonardopoulos, new Greek COM
mander in eastern Thrace, was greet
ed by the populace and soldiers as
1.-The liberator of Adrianople," upon
his arrival here yesterday.
The title 'liberator' arises from the
fact that he was the first Greek to en-
ter Adrianople after the Bulgarians
and Turks were driven from the city
in 1918. He now has returned in the
midst of >the extensive preparations
being made to resist the Turkish re-
occuption.
At this moment it is evident that the
army has little intention of evacuat
ing Thrace without a struggle, what
ever the orders from Athens may be
and there is no doubt that many OF
the officers are looking back for in
spiration to the examples of Gabrielle
d d'Anunzio at Fiume and General Zeli-
gouski at Wilma.
