These men confessed, signed a statemet of what they had done and signed also a note for $2,000 and the trustees are now getting the money on the note. “That is the sum and substance of the whole affair, and but for the telephone message to the governor it would have been settled quietly. - As the matter stands the finances of the university are not involved in any way and the petty grafting that was discovered is such as would happen in-any line of business.”

Infant Wrapped Too Close Suffocated in Mother’s Arms.

Monticello Herald: The accidental suffocation of a 4-week-old child of Hazel Wileon, residing a mile west of Buffalo, occurred Saturday evening while she, accompanied by her father, John Wilson, was returning a distance of three miles from a visit with her sister to her home. The journey was made in a buggy, and the occupants -were forced to face the wind, which was blowing a perfect gale. In order to protect the infant the mother had wrapped it with more than ordinary precaution and had unknowingly wrapped it so tightly that she had cut off the supply of air necessary for the baby’s existence. She was horrified when she discovered, near the end of her journey, that the baby was deed. The coroner, Dr. H. B. Gable, was called and held an inquest. After examining the witnesses he filed a verdict embracing the above facts.
