carefully, pulled the trigger several
times and then tossed It over to
Martin.
Martin inspected the gun. He took
the gun apart to look down the bar
rel. He put it together and pulled

Allen Sutton, 26, Of Detroit, and an

Browns ship, small biplane
manufactured by ! concern Of which
ne was president, jerked free Of the
midair tangle, with = crippled wing
and her underpinning gone.
As the, field ground crew and .
few spectators looked on, the flyer
began to spiral, in an effort to
straighten the damaged wing BY
wind pressure, and finally succeeded
in doing this. After getting the
plane on an even keel 10 swooped
down to attempt Z landing, made
perilous by loss Of his lower gear.
As the plane neared the earth the
wing folded and the pilot, banking
~ plane, again ascended. The
dropping wing gradually straight
ened out under air pressure.
After circling = bit. the second
desperate effort at landing was at-
tempted, and as the crippled plane
dropped slowly earthward it ap-
peared as though the game try
would be crowned with success. But
when the ship was within 100 feet
Of the ground the broken wing col
lapsed and tapped against the lower
parts. Out Of control, the ship nosed
down and ploughed into the earth.
Brown and his companion were dead
when witnesses arrived At the scene.

gift for Bismarck's first football

said. Grafton honored Mike Ces-
ton last year but Grafton is much
closer to the University than is Bis

alumni going to the game, however,

Tor two addresses. He speaks this
afternoon at DesNs Lake, and to-
night 1t Craze Forks.
The ss.1eor came into North Da-
kota early today prepared to dis
cuss the controversial farm relief
issue. and he was armed with sta
tistics to use in his contention that
2 higher tariff was one Of the prin-
clpal remedies for wheat growers,
flax producers, and farmers Of this
agricultural region. But he informed
Republican leaders who boarded his
private car that he was going to talk
on the subject from "every angle" !"
The vice presidential nominee still
carried his right hand in . sling to-
day as he opened the week Of cam
paigning in the northwest. but his
voice had improved considerably
over the weekend.
The long railroad ride from Chi
caso, starting early yesterday morn
ing, gave him an opportunity to
shape up his addresses and to rest.
He spent the Sabbath in seclusion
on the new private car placed ct his
disposal by the Republican national
Princess Tsianina Of the Chero-
KEGS. who has won . name - =
singer, joined the party yesterday 1T
Chicago, and she will participate in
the meetings this week, singing and
also speaking . word for the Re-
publican ticket.
Curtis was up early today to talk
with party leaders who boarded the
train on it's ride across the state,
and to greet crowds along the route
from the observation platform. Loud
Ipeakers were installed on the plat
form to carry his voice. G. Seymour
Bullock Of Indiana was with the
senator to do some Of the speaking.
Tomorrow Curtis appears at Du-
luth, and on Wednesday at st. Paul.

One of the biggest handicaps of such q rule is that it would stifle competition amol : the country's outstanding athletes, working hard ships on many men who would not be able to compete unless their cX- pcnses were defrayed by q club.

Entering into real major league football, the Nutmeg team of this city faces the hardest test of the present season Sunday in Suspicion. s. l. when it stacks up against tho fast team representing that city. The Staten Island crew has played on even terms with teams such as the Frankford Yellow Jackets. the New York Yankees and Giants and others while 1t has swept aside all opposition offered by Atlantic City and elevens of like caliber.
 On the roster of the team are the names of some of the greatest col. lese stars in the country among these is Wyckoff of Georgia who for several past seasons was one of the leading scorers in the south. Hanson of Syracuse is another star who is expected to give the locals plenty of trouble.
 Manager Henry Zehrer hasn't completed arrangements yet for the trip but an announcement of final plans is expected tomorrow. He is negotiating for a stop at Berlin of the excursion train to New York from Springfield. If he is success full, many will make the trip.
 The New Britain team with it's record of nc. having been scored on this year so far, is confident, despite the strength of the StapIe- ton team, that it will come through with glory Sunday. Last season, tho ''Staps" defeated the Ail-New Brit ain team ' to o in one of the best games played in the Staten Island city all season.
 The Nutmeg line is heavy and ef- ficient and is being counted on to make the Stapleton backs work plenty to make any progress at sll. The backfield has shown plenty of work in carrying the ball and the forward passing attack has been highly developed.
 large number of local fans will see the game in Stapleton whether the excursion makes the stop or not.
