BIGGEST DEATH LIST IN FOOTBALL HISTORY.

New York, November I.—Three deaths resulting from last Saturday’s football games have served to call attention to the fact that this seaeon promises to furnish the most gruesome list of death and accidents of any in the history of football. Already there have been fifteen deaths with the most fiercely contested games yet to be played. A summary of other injuries so far reported this year shows six young men to be Buffering from what are believed fatal Injuries, twenty-two broken collar bones, fifteen broken legs, sixteen broken noses, nine broken ankles, eight victims of broken ribs, eleven broken shoulders, six broken fingers, six broken arms, one broken wrist, one broken hand and two broken jaws.

MORGAN ESCAPES WITH JAIL SENTENCE.

Arthur Morgan, the Newton county negro who has been in Jail here for several months, was tried in the Newton circuit court last Friday and Saturday, and the charge of cutting up a C. & E. I. railroad conductor on the Momence-Brazil branch some 18 months ago, and after wrestling with the case for 22 hours, the Jury brought in a verdict at 11 a. m., Sunday that gave him a $25 fine and six months more of Sheriff Shirer’s jail grub. This is a very light sentence considering the enormity of the offence, as the conductor was nearly killed by the razor-wielder, according to reports. Newton county taxpayers get to pay about S3OO for the privilege of having one of their citizens “cut up” a human being with a razor, and the school fund is enriched $25, unless the prisoner “lays the fine. The victim of the cutting gets to carry the scars to his grave as his reward in having the fellow prosecuted, and in six months the latter is turned loose to try his hand on carving up some one else.

DON'T HAVE TO SHOW PRESCRIPTIONS.

the supreme court decided last Friday that a druggist can not be compelled to produce in court or before a grand jury, prescription blanks used in the purchase of liquor from him, where such sale might tend to incriminate the druggist. At the recent session of the grand jury in Newton county the druggists were summoned to appear before that body with the liquor prescriptions they had filled, and they did appear with same. According to the decision of the higher court they need not have shown these prescriptions at all. They are not public documents, but are the private papers of the druggist. *he court said, In affirming a judgment discharging Dr. William W. Prince from liability under the indictment charging him with the unlawful sale of liquor at his drug store in Henry county: "The legislature nad undoubted power to impose such reasonable restrictions on sales of liquor by druggists, as it deemed necessary tor the public good, and in the light of existing legislation in other states on the same subject, from whch our statute was doubtless borrowed, w« can see no excuse for the omission of specific provisions subjecting all applications for liquor to police inpection, or requiring them to be filed in a public office, if it was the legistive purpose to make such papers public documents. * * * ‘‘lt is our conclusion, therefore, that under the statute now before us, a druggist or pharmacist can not be compelled to produce prescriptions and applications for intoxicating liquor, sold by him, for use before a Court or grand jury in a case or proceeding where such use may tend to criminate him. “The bill of rlgnts in the state constitution provides that, ‘No person ip any criminal prosecution shall be compelled to testify against himself,’ and secures a person against the Involuntary production of his private books and papers in response to any process or order of court, addressed to him in the character of a witness * * * in every case where the use of such documentary evidence may tend to incriminate him."

H. M. SHIPMAN OF NEWTON TOWNSHIP WON BED.

The crowd about? Wright’s furniture store Saturday afternoon was about as great as that surrounding the place where the land ‘drawing was going on at Aberdeen, So. Dak., last week. The wide sidewalk was crowded with people anxious to get a look in on the drawing of the $25 Sanitalre bed which Mr. Wright was giving away, and each one hoping that they might be the lucky one to draw the handsome prize. H- M. Shipman was the name that took the bed, and while uncle Henry is pretty well along i-. years, he is not too old to feel quite elated over winning so fine a prize.

FORMER CASHIER OF FAILED BANK INDICTED.

Among the indictments returned by the recent grand jury in' Newton county were six counts against Lawrence A. Wiles, former cashier of the failed Baldwin & Dague bank at Goodland. The indictments charge embezzlement. Wiles was cashier of the bank when it was closed by the state department of banking, some two years ago. Both Baldwin and Dague, the owners of the bank, were Indicted about a year ago, but Baldwin later died and Dague has never been brought to trial, for some reason. State Auditor Billhelmer, seemed to be much impressed with Mr. Wiles, when examining into the bank's affairs, and made him chief of the bank department of his office, and Wiles moved to Indianapolis. The indictments seem to have been tipped oft to him, as he appeared in court soon after their return and gave bond in the sum of S3OO on each count, with H. T. Griggs and A. G. Jackway of Goodland as sureties.
