.4v Have Thrill of Lifetime
Rifle Bullet Passed Through Auto
Windshield While Enroute to Sank
Centre From ST. Cloud

Sunday evening as Mr.. and Mrs.
John McGibbon, were returning by
auto from ST. Cloud where they had
spent the day with their son-in-law
and daughter, Mr.. and Mrs. n. A !.
Halverson,. they had a very unusual
experience to say the least.
When about 21a miles east OF
Albany on Babcock Highway No. 3,
they met a large touring car driving
at an extremely reckless rate d OF
speed. This car was followed by an,
other large car and when the first
auto came along side of the McGib-
bon car rifle was fired, the bullet
penetrating the wind shield of the
McGibbon carscn the right side a few
inches above Mrs. McGibbon's head

was possible, and was driving 86afs
slowly at the time. When the sec
ond ear reached the McGibboni car
lit had reduced its speed to something
like 35 or 40 miles an hour.
!. Naturally there was considerable
excitement in the McGibbon car
when the shattered glass in the wind
shield commenced to fall into their
laps. Mr.. McGibbon has been unable
to decide whether the bullet was
fired from the roadway or from the
car in the rear. s'A -

Colored Doctor at Hewitt
In Very Serious Trouble
Charged With Taking Liberties With
Woman Patient-Bound Over to
Todd Co. Grand Jury

Robert McGraw, negro doctor al
Hewitt, and whose reputation as .
healer has. been such that fol
several months past people from all
sections of the county and central
Minnesota have been visiting him
was arrested last week on complaint
of Henry Karsten, of Stearns coun.
ty, who charged him with. having
taken liberties with Mrs. Karster
while she was a patient of McGraw's
at Hewitt, says the Long Prairie
Leader.
McGraw's hearing was held before
Justice Barber Thursday and he was
bound over to the Grand Jury. HI
was released on bond. The chief wit.
ness against MIN at the hearing was
Mrs. Karsten
Karsten, in addition to having Nc.
Graw arrested on criminal charge,
has begun suit against the doctor fol
$25, 600. sssAE ss4siss
The Hewitt Banner says >that Nc.
Graw claims the charge against him
has been trumped up and that his
trouble with Mrs. Karsten, then pa
tient at gMcGraw's arose when She
washed her clothes in the bread pan
McGraw says he went and bought an
other bread pan at the same time rep
Mrs. Karsten for her ac-
ton. This, he says, made Mrs. Kar-
Ssten angry and she insisted she want
ed to go home. McGraw then accom-
panied by a nurse in his employ, took
her home in his auto. On the way
home, McGraw says she kept saying
she was going to get even with him.

MAIN HIGH BEGINS
FOOTBALL SCHEDULE
HERE SEPTEMBER 2S
Clarke Arranges Complete
Schedule-Kilgore Not
Quite Ready YETI.

Adhering closely TO his tentative
schedule announced two weeks ago,
Coach "Spitz" Clarke of the Main
Avenue High School football team has
arranged his definite football schedule
for the coming season.
The Main season begins Friday,
September IS, in San Antonio,
against Kerrville High School. 1t
continues until the meeting with
Breckenridge High School for the To-
cal high school championship on
Saturday, November 10. After that
several games contingent upon Mains
standing in the state high school race
have been booked, to be cancelled if
Main High represents District 10 in
the interscholastic championships and
is forced to play on schedule ar
ranged by the state board at Austin.
Here's the program: September
2S, Kerrville here; October D, Seguin
High here; October L., Victoria High
here October 10; Beeville High al
Beevile on the closing day of the
fair there; October 70, Yoakum al
Ioakum November 3, Poteet High
Ut IOl'el -NoNtuDtE ~, IpIuChtAlIiuSt
High here.
The added games are as follows
November IL. Corpus Christi Higl
at Corpus; November 20, Houston
Heights High here; November 20
Austin High at Austin.
The Main High squad will NEE
for the first time Monday afternoon
and first light practice will be helt
at San Pedro Park Tuesday. TIT
players will practice a short tint
each afternoon for week and viii
then settle down TO hard training.
Coach Alfred Kilgore has not haC
an opportunity to list his Bracken
ridge High dates, but has writer
several schools in the district and 4
assured of games with Victoria
Cuero and Beevillc. There is
chance that the team of the new
Schreiner Institute of Kerrville viii
play.

his complete list of dates ready. bu
he is in no hurry. Brackenridg

hard for steady training. / don't
mean training just before the fish5.
But champions grow careless.
The glimmcr of the lights saps their
power. Dempsey mas had only two
fights in his four years with the title.
A man needs at least two fights Il
year to keep in condition, and three
or four wouldn't hurt him.
The best man | ever fought was
Jack johnson. I'd like for ANYONE
to name single quality he lacked
for perfection when he was in his
prime. He had everything. His hest
was better than the best of either
Dempsey or Firpo.
My advice TO Firpo is to be care
full with mpsey the first two or
three re r. Dempsey makes a
lightning at, but | don't think he
can go for long grind.

can.

SKIDDING ACROSS FOR
TOUCHDOWN ILLEGAL
IN NEW GRID RULINGS
Ball Taken Back and
Placed on One-ymd Line
This Season.
By WALTER CAMP.

Copyright, by the san Antonio Lisht'
New York, Sept. 6.-Skidding for
touchdown is eliminated by one OF
series Of recent rulings by football
officials which have been included in
the 1928 rule book for the guidance o.
umpires and referees in the coming
season.
In cases where n runner with the
ball is tackled close 10 his opponent
goal line but falls with such mo-
mentum that he slides across he line
in the tackler's grasp, says this ru!-
ing, he does not roll up the customary
six points for crossing the line. In
stead, the ball goes back to the one
yard line and is put into play.
Some of the rulings are of particular
interest TO coaches and captains. For
instance:
A center seeing an opponent off
side lifted the ball off the ground anG
claimed an offside play. The ruling
was that the ball had not been
snapped.
A loose ball in the end zone was
about TO be fallen on by an attacking
player when n member of the defend
ing team kicked it. The ruling: touch
down for the attacking side. Had the
ball been kicked. however. when no
member of the attacking side was neac
enough to get possession of 1t, safety
would have been registered.
A team kicked from behind its goal
line and the ball. striking a player OF
the same side who was in the field OF
play rebounded back of the goal line
and was recovered by a player of the
offensive. The captain of the opposing
side received the option of accepting
the ball on the spot where it hit the
offside player or of declining the pen
atty and scoring a safety.
However. had the player struck by
the ball been behind his own goal lin,
and had the ball been recovered by hi'
side. it would have counted as a safety
while had it been recovered by oppos
ing team it would have counted as 4
touchdown.

BATTED OUT OF TURN?
Browns Get Away With Unusual Sit.
uation and Two Runs.

Cleveland, Ohio, Sept. 6.-St. Louis
got away with situation here last
Monday that has seldom, if ever, been
recorded in the big leagues, it was
learned today.
Previous TO the morning. game be-
tween the Browns and Indians on
Labor Day, official announcement was
made that the first five men in the
Browns batting order were Gerber,
Tobin, jacobson, McManus and Will
liams.
Gerber doubled and Tob:n followed
with a bunt single. Then instead of
Jacobson coming up, as announced,
Williams batted and cracked out n
double on which Gerber scored. Then
followed jacobson and McManus.
In the second inning. Larry Gard
ner. Cleveland utility third-baseman,
noticed it. A conference was held
and Umpire Evans said the Browns

put him out, except that I WASH;
able TO finish him. That would show
that he can be hit and can be shaken.
The be$t asset fighter can have,
think. is a good left hand. That
comes in always to stab the first
rush of the other mans attack. Demp-
sey certainly has such a left hand, but
with his distinctive style of swaying
from side to side. he makes unusual
use of both hands.
His blows are hooks instead Of
clean, straight shots. But they are
dangerous.
Jack Dempsey is fast and strong.
and he hits hard. / don't want to
tell anybody that he isn't formidable.
There are points TO his disadvantage
though, which ought to be considered
in figuring the odds.
First of all. he is champion. That
is a burden to carry into the ring.
even though ii makes him favoritc
in popular judgment. The champion
is worried at the thought of the stake
he has to lose. My mind Kept going
back to that when i had the title,
and it is natural for anyone.
Then. being the champion, he is
surrounded by crowd, and that is
