WORK ON new BANK
ALMOST COMPLETED
First National Bank At Harriug-
ton Will Occupy Modern New
Home Next Week.

Saturday, March "a, will mark the
opening of the fine new home OF
the First National Bank of Harring-
ton. The finishing touches will be
executed next week, and when the
doors are thrown open for the for
NAL opening, all will be in readi-
ness. Realizing that their old
building had become obsolete and
had outlived it's usefulness as a
banking institution, the directors
decided last year to construct a
new building in order to meet the
needs of it's ever-increasing list of
patrons. The site selected was at
the corner of Commerce and Flem-
ming streets and faces the main
| highway leading in to Harrington
from the Delaware State road.
This furnishes a very attractive
approach from the East and is an
ideal location for such a building.
A wise selection was made when a
two-story structure plan was adopt
ed. The exterior presents a beau
tiful appearance and the building
will stand for a long time as a
monument to the city of Harring-
ton, the builder and the institu-
TONS officials.
Straight range Mount Airy Gran
lite was used in the erection of the |
outside walls, the front and one side |
being topped with Indiana Lime
stone cornice. Massive columns of |
the same material was used as dec
Grafton at each front corner of the
building as we'll as on the Flemming
street side. The doorways and
window trim is also of Indiana
which mingled with the
granite, presents a very attractive
A brick wall backs up
and anchors the building.
The foundations and cellar are
made of concrete, the cellar being
given special water-proofng
treatment to prevent leaking. The
house throughout has dOubIe-hung
steel windows and frames and the
outside doors are of the metallic
storm type.
The lower floor will be used en- +
irely for banking purposes, the r
portion being equipped
With walnut counter and domestic i

lie. The same effect is noted +

The side walls f
the entire building are i

FISHER smith KILLED
BY GEORGE BURTON
Man Shot Following Quarrel At
BurtOn's Home Near Cedar
Creek Saturday Night.

Fisher Smith is dead and George
Burton is held in Georgetown Jail
awaiting the action of the authori-
ties, following a shooting ARRAY at
the latter's home in Slaughter Neck
Saturday evening last. Both men
are Negroes. The shooting occur
red early Saturday evening after
the two men had quarreled. Soon
after the killing Chief of Police
Courtney of Milford, who was at
nearby farm, went to the Burton
home and placed the killer under
arrest. He was brought to Milford
and later taken to Georgetown Jail.
Burton freely admitted that he
had fired the shot which killed
Smith. He claimed that Smith had
been warned to leave his home
when he came there to see one of
the women folks at the house. Bur-
ton states that after an argument
Smith went to his automobile, pick
ed up corn knife and started back
to the house. Seeing that the man
probably meant trouble, Burton
says that he reached for his shot
gun and warned Smith not to come
nearer. The man kept coming to-
ward him and when about ten feet
away Burton fired the gun, the load |
finding its way in Smiths stomach.
He was knocked backward several
feet and fell dead in his tracks.
The body was taken to the I'M
iertaking establishment of z. u.
Reed at Lincoln, where a cOroner's
inquest was held ON Monday. A
rerdict in accordance with the
acts was brought in. burton will
re charged with murder and his
rial will probably be held at the
text term of court. Both men bore
God regulations.

ROAMING RIDERS OF FIGHTING IRISH
TURN IN l2-6 VICTORY OVER CADETS
BEATS
PURDUE TEAM

Evanston, ILL.,, Nov. 12.-(AP)-
With Pest WEIGH, the nemesis Of
many a good football team, playing
the role of both the hero and the
goat, Northwestern defeated Purdue
Saturday, Z to 6. A Dads day crowd
of nearly 10000 shivering fans peer
ing through the mist and lowering
darkness, watched the two elevens
battle on even terms on a rain
soaked field.
It was Welch's poor punt from be-
hind the goal line for the first period
that paved the way for Northwest
ern's touchdown and it was the re-
doubtable Texans startling passes
and off tackle dashes that put Pur-
due in position to tie the score in
the third period. Harmeson's kick
for the extra point, however, was
wild and Purdue went down to it's
second conference defeat as North
western chalked up its second con-
secutive victory.
The break for Northwestern came
early in the opening period. On an
exchange of punts between Captain
Walter Holmer and WEIGH. North
western gained As yards. Welch's IL
yard kick from behind his goal post
gave Northwestern the ball on the
Is yard line.
Driving off tackle and through
! center, Holmer carried the ball
across in three plays and then
added the extra point from place
ment.

CREIGHTON And
UTAH DEADLOCK

Omaha, Nov. 12.-(R-Although
clearly outplayed in al but the third
quarter, Creighton university stood
off the University Of Utah's con-
stantly threatening attack here Sat-
urday and emerged from the game
with . Z to Z tie. The final gun
found the Utes on Creighton's Z
yard line after : march Of 70 yards
down tho field.
To the toe Of Scott, quarterback,
Creighton owes much: for the tie
score. Time and again Utah would
work the ball into Creighton terri
tory only TO loose II on downs. Scott
would then punt his team out Of
danger. One Of his long kicks rolled
81 yards to Utah's II yard lire and
several were good for 80 yards or
more.
Utah scoreI early in the second
period, after the first quarter had
been fought mostly in midfield.
Two penalties, and long pass,
Sommerhayes to Utter, put the bali
on Creighton's 6 yard line. On the
first play. Goodwin, substitute for
Price, plunged over for Z touchdown.
Sommerhays added the extra point
with Z dropkick.
On the kickoff following the
touchdown, Rombaugh, Bluejay full
back, took the ball on his own 10
yard line and raced 80 yards through
the entire Utah team for Creiehton's
marker. Hunt added the extra point
with : placement.

West Pointers, Rated as One of
Strongest, Had Not Suffered
Defeat This Season Until
They Clashed With Notre
Dame; Soldiers Outplayed
By ALLAN J. GOULD

New York, Nov. 12.-(AP)-They
may not call them the Four Horse
men this year, but the roaming rid
ers of Notre Dame, playing with all
the dash and skill of their famous
predecessors, dealt death and de-
struction Saturday to the champion
ship hopes Of the Wanted West Point
eleven.
In one Of the most thrilling and
dramatic finishes any gridiron Crap
pie has witnessed this season, the
Hoosiers uncorked a smashing at
tack that beat the Cadets, IL to 6,
in sensational upset.
One of the greatest crowds in east
ern football history, a jam of $4,000
spectators roared from the vast
stretches of the big ball park as
knute Rockne's warriors outplayed,
outfought and outgeneraled the SOL
diers in unexpectedly decisive fash
ion.
Notre Dame won the game with
a spectacular As yard forward pass,
thrown by Johnny Niemiec to Jack
O'Brien in a desperate thrust at the
Army goal in the final quarter but
it took all the defense ability of the
Hoosiers, as well as the final whistle,
to prevent the Cadets from tying the
score in the last minute of play.
The thrills that were packed into
the last half came to a climax as
Red eagle, the Army's great ball
carrying ace, raced IS yards up the
field from kickoff, then swirled
around end to the Hoosier 10 yard
line. Here the famous redhead, who
had engineered Army's first and only
score, was withdrawn and the best
his successor, Hutchinson, could do
was work his way to the / yard
line before the game ended.
Another few seconds and the Army
might have tied the count and had
q chance to win, by shooting the ex-
ira point.

Brockmeyer Scores Other in
FL to IL Victory; Hoosiers
Put Up Stubborn Fight

Minneapolis, Nov. 12.-(AP)-
Minnesota's heralded dry land at
tack had its inning today and its
$50 pound backs made the most Of it
in. downing Indiana, 81 to IL, before
sc, 900 rooters celebrating Dads day
in Memorial stadium.
. Hovde, Brockmeyer and Pharmer,
aided by some great blocking and
line play, swept the ends and cut
through the tackles for three touch
downs-one each in the first, second,
and fourth periods-with q point
after touchdown added in each in
stance.
Indiana, which kept Minnesota out
Of the Big Ten championship last
year with q 14-14 game got touch
down in the first two minutes of
play today. after recovering a Min
nesota tumble on the Gophers' 70
yard line, and scored again in the
last session after some brilliant
forward passing.
After two successive Saturdays on
muddy fields with one point defeats,
the Gophers had dry underfooting
today and, though recast somewhat
due to injuries, made 342 yards by
rushes, averaging z yards on each
attempt, and not a single yard by
forward passes.
1ndiana's 116 yards on 81 rushes
was matched by Hovde alone in IA
tries, but the Hoosiers connected for
162 yards on passes, completing 9 of
Is attempts in the greatest forward
passing offensive Minnesota has
faced this year.
Brockmeyer, counted the Gophers'
first touchdown just as the first
period ended when he raced through
the Indiana line and ran 80 yards.
Hovde's two touchdowns were on end
runs Of % and % yards, his great
speed carrying him around the
Hoosier tacklers.
The Gopher line was without the
services Of Captain Gibson and john
son, and had Pulkrabek only for part
Of the game. Nagurski, his injuries
not enough healed for backfield play,
worked in spectacular fashion at
tackle.
With Minnesota leading FL to 6.
Balay began throwing passes to
Brubaker and Faunce, taking the
oval on two passes-good for so
yards-and end runs from q wide
spread pass formation, to Mime
sofas 4 yard line, with Bennett 60
ing through left guard for the touch
down.
