After being out 40 hours, the jury
in the case of John Hoell, charged
with involuntary manslaughter, re-

and who was charged jointly with the
same Offense. The motion was grant

been in jail since the day following
the accident, was released.

BOBCATS BEATEN
IN HARD CONTEST

A 31-yard forward pass, Chinzke to
Coyle, in the final few minutes of
play spelled disaster for the Bobcats
Of Montana State college in their an
nual contest Saturday at Clark park,
Butte, with the Grizzlies of Montana
university and brought disappOnt-
ment to hundreds of loyal M. S. c..
boosters who had jOurneyed to the
Mining city in full confidence that
the Bobcats, for the first time in 10
years, would wrest victory from
their traditional enemies.
Tough luck", commented the Bob
cat fans, sorrowfully, as they return
ed home. And it was "tough luck" ,
for everyone is Of the opinion that
the better team went down to defeat.
Both elevens were over-anxious, but
the Bobcats carried the fight into
Grizzly territory and kept it there
during most of the game. They ex-
celled in gaining yardage from scrim
mage, rolling up a total of 225 as
against 1877 for the Grizzlies, and
were leaders in first downs with 10
as compared with 4 for Montana u.
The Bobcats also demonstrated a
noticeable superiority in kicking.
Twice the Montana State men
menaced the Grizzly goal line, in the
second quarter reaching their op-
pOnents' 10-yard line and in the third
being held on the 21-yard mark
Montana U, in the last minute of the
opening period, reached the BObcai
17-yard line, but three plays later was
three yards to the rear. In the fina
quarter the Grizzlies had fought vail
antly in their own territory unit
Chinzke was able to return a punt tt
his 41-yard line. Two passes negOti
ated the remaining SO yards to th'
goal for the only score of the contest
