second game in the series for the

(ball and some pretty team work was
shown. While the Moose team has
, been the victor in the series so far.
in reality the playing of the three
teams,—Liscum, Moose and Pinzon

to choose from. All three teams

SPANELL TELLS OF
A RUINED HOME
SAN ANGELO, Tex., Feb. 3.—
During an impassioned plea in his
own defense Harry J. Spanell on trial
for the murder of his wife. Crystal
Holland Spanell and Lieutenant Col
onel Matthew C. Butler. U. S. A.,
cried out in a crowded courtroom this
efternoon:
“Crystal was as pure as snow at the
time of her death.”
Spanell broke down and cried sev
eral times during the course of his
testimony. He defined his wife’s
character but charged that Colonel
Butler had attempted to ruin her.
“I first saw Butler in May of 1916,
when he came to our hotel,” said
Spanell. “ A dark introduced him to
my wife when I was absent. I didn’t
like his looks from the first. He ask
ed me on the second day I met him
to show him around town. I told
him I was not that kind of a man.
Then he tried to monopolize my wife’s
attentions.
"Colonel Butler had a car and ask
ed us to go driving in the evening.
We could not refuse as he pushed
himself on us. This continued from
day to day. Finally we had an in
vitation to attend a dance at Marfa,
thirty miles away. We did not want
to go, but finally did because Mrs.
Spanell wanted to hear the music.
"Returning home that night I sat
in the front seat of the automobile
with my wife and Butler in the back.
He kept bumping against Mrs. Spau
ell. Finally he caught hold of her
foot. “That’s me,” she said and asked
him what was the matter. He said he
was looking for his pistol scabbard on
the floor. Re knew his scabbard and
pistol were under the car seat.
Neither my wife nor I was satisfied
with this explanation and we talked
about it after we got home.
"The next morning 1 wrote a let
ter to Butler, signing my wife’s name.
I asked him what he meant. Butler
answered the letter and apologized.
I then went to Buter told him I had
written the letter and told him not
to make his attentions to my wife
quite so marked, that Alpine was a
small town and the people would no*
understand. He promised that he
would not."
Ill the middle of Spanell s recital
his attorney suddenly asked him if he
believed his wife was faithful to hiir
at the time of this incident.
“She was pure then and as pure as
snow at the time of her death,” Spai-.
ell declared, and burst into tears.
The court ordered a recess.
CHINA WANTS BOOHKVULT;
what A BLUSHING TO l . S.
KANSAS CITY, Feh. 3.—China s
greatest need today, greater than the
need for financial help, education,
railroads or western civilization is for
fighting spirit.
This was the assertion of Ng Poon
Chew, Chinese statesman and jour
nalist, former Chinese consul at San
Francisco and a relative of Wu Ting
Fang, former Chinese ambassador to
the United States here last night.
“In many bitter lessons we have
learned the cause of all our troubles
We are a lopsided nation; we have too
many Bryans and not enough Roose
velts. And this is the most critical
period for my nation in forty-five cen
turies.
“We would like to have your T R.
in China now and we believe you
could spare him for the next four
years. If he’ll leave his politics at
home and bripg his big stick anr
teach us how to use it, we will wel
come him with a thunderous ‘dee
lighted.’ ”
BREATHING IN gARE'S MOUTH
KEEPS ALIVE FOR AN HOUR
BELLINGHAM, Wash,, Feb. 3.—
Physicians are interested in the re
port that Mark Abbott of Bellingham,
Wash., kept hiB baby, ^ust born, alive
more than an hour by breathing in
its moutk
There is po record of a similar
case sp tar as knpwn.
The father was frantic at the news
of the attending physician that the
baby could not live. He bent over
the tiny bit of humanity and tried ■ -
keep the spark of life alive by breath
ing into its jp9pti» kle own breath.
At the end pf ap houjr he was re
lieved by a piflrootor. The spark O'
life which seemed to keep a steady
glow under the father’s breathing be
gan to fade and the parent again trie.l
to bring about the respiration.
At the end of a half hour he was
forced to give up. Th$ physicipp’s
stethescope told that the babe had
ceased breathing. Some obstruction
prevented and efforts of the physi
cian to make the child cry in an en
deavor to remove the hindrance were
futile.
Gosh! Here’s a Job.
