Alderman Arrested.

Yes, folks, it's true. Disgrace has
fallen upon the name of our fair city.
No less a parsonage than George Fos-
ter, alderman was arrested in Manka-
to Tuesday forenoon charged with
grand larceny. He was found to have
in his possession seventeen stolen
suits of mems clothing and when ex-
amined by the chief Of police ad-
mitted that they were stolen property.
"Whose suits are those?" asked
the chief.
"They are mine," calmly replied
George.
That's what every thief says,
was the chiefs rejoinder.
To make long story short, Mr..
Foster was actually arrested in Man
kato exactly as narrated above. He
had been to St Paul to recover sew
enteen of the suits that were stolen
last year from the Foster e. Bertrand
store. When he reached Manka.o
he went into a lunch room for a cup
of coffee and left the car parked out
in front. The suits were covered with
blanket but the wind blew it off.
1t was not long until a policeman
discovered the suits and when Mr..
Foster came out of the lunch room
the chief of police and five burly po-
licemen were outside waiting for him.
He was obliged to go with them but
had little trouble establishing his
identity as he had with him several
papers regarding the robbery and the
confessions of some of the men. He

While in st. Paul Mr.. Foster got
track of one more man believed to be
connected with the robbery. He also

stolen goods, fence. Mr. Foster
says that he will probably join his
friends at Saltwater in the near fu-
ture.-Sleepy Eye Dispatch.

OLE MISS BATTLES
 HARD BUT LOSES
Farmer Boys Win Fourteenth Straight Times From
 Mississippi

JACKSON, Miss, Oct. R0.-(Special.) Ole Mississippi has once more gone down in defeat at the hands Cor rather, the feet) of the huskies from the A. and M. college, the score on their game at the state fair grounds today ending 13 to 6, in favor of the farmer hcys. This is the 14th time the A. and M. has either defeated Ole Mississippi or played a tie game, as was the case three of folr times.
 However, the two teams are very |cveiily matched with the exception of q 40-yard end run by Noble and two forward passes there were no sensatlonal plays. Threc-fourths or more of the time employed in play ing the game was spent in the cen- ter of the field, where one line buck after another was made with small results. Here the Aggies proved slightly the stronger in all but the third quarter when foot by foot Ole Mississippi pushed and showed her opponents until they sent their ball across the iine, but failed to kick goal.
 These tactics were followed throughout the greater portion of the game, all scoring being due appar- ently to well trained muscles, except when Noble male an end run of 40 yards for a touchdown. The stars fer Gle Mississippi were Quarterback Montgomery, Totten and Leftwich, ends. For A, and M. Fullback Bar nett shone in line plus and tluartcr- backs Young and Stephens, alternated for honors in that position.

 Saturday

AUBURN, Ala, Oct. 20.-(Spe- ciaL)-Georgia freshmen 33, Auburn freshmen tells the story of the two Rat" aggregations at the Opelika fair grounds. The Georgians started scoring in the early stages of the fame. Moulton. kicked off for Auburn, and was forced to kick again on account of the ball going out of bounds. He kicked to Kain, who returned it 30 yards. The visit ors failed to make the yardage and kicked to Auburn on her 5-yard line. Auburn fumbled. Georgia re- covered and Sherlock scored for Georgia on the second play and Hol- lis got the extra point.
 At the beginning of the second period Sherlock again crossed the end line after Captain Morton had placed the oval in the danfer zone.
 During the third period Kain, Georgia fullback, went over after Morton had netted a 20-yard sprint. In the final period, Morton recovered on Auburns tumble and raced S0 yards for a counter, and later Full back Kain dashed off end for the final marker. Hollis, who looked after the single point after touch down missed on his eleventh suc- cessive effort after Georgia's fourth marker this afternoon.
 The scoring of the Athens team was largely the result of the head of Captain Morton at Quarter. This freshman halls from Episcopal High in Virginia and we predict for this lad the responsibility of leading the Georgia varsity with a little added experience. Sherlock at half proved to be 8 runner-up for Morton. He scored two touchdowns. Kain at full back also made couple of trips be- hind the goal posts for touchdowns. Wilder at center Luckey at tackle and Howard at end were stellar members of the forward fullback.
 The Orange and Blue freshmen, al though playing a losing game, made their playing effective on several oc- casions. In the first quarter Hagood and Address netted three successive first downs. In the second period Paul Turner, Auburn fullback, again netted the first downs in a row. Hagood, Turner and Address were the best ground gathers, while Pet tite. English and Long did the best work on the line. While the fresh man team battled out their afternoon program a play by play report on the TigerArmy game was being given the spectators in the grand stand.

Michigan DemoraIizeS Buck eyes With Forward Pass
 ing Game

ANN ARBOR, Mich. Oct. 20.--(By Associated Press. )-Michigan de- moraized and overwhelmingly de- feated Ohio state, famous for its for ward passing, and at its own style of game today, burying the Buckeyes under a 23-0 score in one of the most startling upsets of the 1923 western conference championship season.
 The game, which resulted in the elimination of Ohio from the cham pionship race, was witnessed by a record crowd of 45,000 spectators. Every inch of standing room was filled. thousands were turned away, and tickets sold as high as $50 each.
 The Ohioans, with a burning mem ory of the 19-0 defeat scored againest them in the dedication of the Ohio stadium year ago. descended upon this university town determined for revenge.
 The result was a shock as it was the worst defeat Michigan has given Ohio since the game of 1909, when the score was 33 to 6. Between four and five thousand motor cars, each filled with loyal Ohioans, made the journey from Columbus.
 Ohio's aerial attack that enabled it to tie Colgate week ago crumbled completely under the Wolverines
  man. the Ohio halfback, regarded as one of the best passers in the con- ference, shot passes whenever he found an opening, but there always was a Michigan tackler ready to knock them down or intercept them
 While the Wolverines were excel lent on offensive. they were just as strong on defense. Their strength was revealed from the fact that Ohio did not get within Michigan's 40-yard line at any time and were set con stantly on the defensive.
 Lineup and summary:
 Michigan-Marion, left end; Muir head, left tackle; Slaughter, left guard; Blott, center; Steele, right guard; Vandervoort. right tackle; Curran. right end; Uteritz, quarter back; Kipke (captain), left halfback; Steger, right halfback; Miller, full back.

 The home team, though outclassed in training and experience, evidenced some real football qualities and after Coach Scott replaced his varsity with the scrubs held Fayette to very slow score.
 Killingsworth, regular half, took place at quarter played an excellent game.
 The schedule of the local team Is one of the hardest of any high school in the state, Guin, Jasper, AL bertville (pending), Russellville, Re- form and Hamilton are yet to be played. The only defeat registered against Fayette so far was admin istered by Howard freshmen, made up of players, many of whom are now on Towards varsity.
 The following teams have been de- feated by Fayette: Birmingham Scrubs, 20 to 6; Berry High, 19 to 0; -Hueytown, 30 to '; Vernon, lS to 6.
 The Fayette Tigers have several men that will run someone a close race in all-state pick. Dick Ham, ner all-state quarter last year. is playing the same brilliant game as well as his running mates, Brock. Killingsworth, Jeffries, Jimmie Branyon, left end, is playing a splendid defensive game.
 As well as his running mate Grif- fin, since injuries have laid out Mayfield and Richardson, who were doing excellent work in the line, the responsibility of holding the line up to it's former strength falls heavily on Teck Sherer.
