Company M Defeated in Brilliant Scrap by High School

Co. M wept down to defeat Hot the second, straight time before the onslaught of the school lads at the armory last night. The game was fast and rough from the start and became so rough at qne stage of the game that the school team was unable to stand the gaff and left the floor, but finally returned after a few minutes of squabbling, and from then on a cleaner, faster game was played. The students took the lead early on two free throws and followed this up with several field goals until they totaled 13, while the soldier boys had a white alley. Clark then scored a foul for-the militiamen and soon followed with a field goal. Putts followed with another and then Clark came back with one more, bringing their total to 7. The half ended with the school team on top, 14 to 7 Shortly after the gong rang for the second half the soldier lads hooped another field goal, bringing their total to 9. At this stage of gam ethe school boys left the floor on account of unnecessary roughness. The militiamen appeared to have found where they had their Anigoras pastured. A few minutes later they returned to the floor and the militiamen quickly assumed the aggressive and two field goals followed, leaving them trailing by an ace, 14 to 13. Eigelsbach and Healey again took the students out of the danger zone with a field goal apiece and Eigelsbach followed with, a foul, totaling 19 for the visitors. The militiamen then got busy and by a great spurt managed to tie the game in a knot at 19, bringing the crowd to their feet. Be scnooT team foTged to the front with a foul goal and two field baskets. Kirk scored for the militiamen. Eigelsbach followed with another foul for the school, giving them a four point advantage which they maintained until the finish. As the final gong rang the scoreboard showed a 25 chalked up for the high school lads and 21 opposite the soldiers.

Monticello, Feb. s.—Oory Westbrook, who died recently In the White county infirmary, was a unique character. Reared amidst plenty, a college graduate and possessing unusual talents in some lines, yet his life was a practical failure. His father was G. W. Westbrook, a New York ehemist, who originated the formula from which Mustang liniment is manufactured, and whose name is foupd printed on the wrapper-of every bottle of this well known remedy. Oory claimed to have* been a college graduate, majoring in chemistry. At least it appeared that - he was well informed in this science. He also clamed to be an expert steel engraver and possessed two plates of the steel engravers’ art which he claimed were his own handiwork. These he cherished carefully for many years, claiming that they were very valuable. He grew up in New York and Jersey City, and first became known to the people of Wlhite county in the early eighties, through a land deal which he entered into with the brothers, Jim and William, through which he and his mother became the owners of a tract of land north of Reynolds, Here they lived for a number of years. The mother was very aristocratic and exclusive,, and seemed to feel keenly the change in her worldly surroundings. Here Oory puttered around, much as he did all the remainder of bis life, dreaming day dreams and building air castles, always hopeful and optimistic, but accomplishing nothing. After the death of his mother he finally drifted to Monticello, where life for him was anything hut a path of roses. He was industrious in a way, and always ready to work when able, likewise always ready to talk on almost any subject that came up; and by constant reading kept himself well informed on current events. For some years he was a protege of the late Geo. V. Coen, using the rear of the old furniture repair shop for sleeping quarters and helping about the shop during the day. After the death of Mr. Coen and the removal of the old building, his living was rather pre-: carious, but bis deep seated pride led him to strenuously oppose all suggestions that he go to the county poor asylum.
