Studebaker then went off the road

were going at rs miles per hour, but
from the manner of the wreck they
were possibly going much faster.

Football fans of Philippi and VI
cinity will divide their interest with
three college teams this weekend
Broaddus win have the greater num-
Der of well-wishers with her in her
attempt to step higher in the foot
ball realm in the game in Pittsburg
against Duquesne University of
the largest Catholic educational insti-
buttons in the country. West Vir-
ginia University will run second be-
cause of the large number of alumni
and because of the appeal that the
State team makes to the general pub
lie. Wesleyan will follow as close
third. Her position has been boosted
a great deal this season because of
the probability of local boy, Ray
mond Gus" Murphy landing place
on the Methodist team.
Even the most optimistic of the
followers of Broaddus do not expect
the local boys to do better than score
on Duquesne, and perhaps hold the
Pittsburghers to three or four touch
downs. Others think it will be a run
away, because Nuss has not yet had
time to develop his string of reserve
material, and because most of the
men are new and unframed in the
Nuss system. Broaddus should have
the advantage Of the "underdog."
With this advantage, fighting spirit
and splendid knowledge of few
plays that they have, Broaddus men
are basing their hopes Of putting up
a real game in the Smoky City Sat
urday.
The Duquesne game marks an adj
vance in Broaddus athletics. 1t is
the first time that the local team
has played in big city. While Du-
quesne has not been a world-beater
in years gone by, they always have
good teams. 1t is reported that they
are spending great deal of money in
building up their athletics this sea-
son, and that they expect to have a
successful season. They booked Broad
dus merely as practice game. 1t
can be easily seen that the Nussmen
have real days work facing them
Saturday afternoon.
West Virginia should defeat Wes-
leyan again this season, but not un-
til the Bobcats throw scare into the
Mountaineer camp. 1t will be bet
ter game than last season, though
the score may not change a great
deal.

LIGHT AND WATER
PLANT BURNS
City Will Be Without Lights For
Some Time; Water Off
Only a Day

The fire alarm sounded early We'd
nesay morning which brought out the
volunteer fire department to the
Lihgt and Water Plant, but too late
to save it. A fire had gotten under
hearway so far that prarticaly the
whole roof of the plant was ablaze.
The fire was caused by an explosion
which first broke out some windows;
young man by the name of Kisner
was nhe job. Before he could give
the alarm and get the fire whistle go
ing, the building was partly burning.
This plant was equipped with three
units SO that lights could be on gem
orally at all times. However, the plant
needed repairs. Another gas engine
was being fitted up TO rsrvice, so
that the possibility of lights being off
a night or two at a time was about to
be eliminated.
Before the wooden stills had burned
away, work was commenced to fit up
a water pump by using steam trac-
tor, and as result the water was
only off for day. 1t will be some
time before the lights are on again.
Special night police are scattred a.
bout town as precaution against
any violations Of law.
The plant was partly covered by

Declines legacy in MARKS.

Strasbourg. Laurent Meyer, Iiv-
ing at Soultz-Sous-F oret, near here,
inherited during the war 200 marks
from a relative.
The law grinds slowly, so the estate
was not wound up until Monday, when
Meyer was summoned to touch" his
money, as the French say, and justi-
fed to bring with him 81 francs as
the cost OF making out the papers
As the costs amounted to 1900 times
the amount Of the bequest. Meyer told
the court officials 10 keep the money.
