Today a traveling man from Denver reached Eldo rado and said there is a wild scramble out there for papers containing the accounts of the trial. At the office of the Eldorado Republican today a letter was received from Olin Castle of Baltimore, ordering the paper sent to him during the trial. Olin CaBtle is the name of the widower of the dead woman. He don't know whether or not be has any relatives in Maryland. The costs of the trial of Miss Morrison will not fall entirely on the state.

The defense will have some attorney's fees to pay. Mr. Kramer, Judge Redden, Mr. Schumaker and Mr. Mooney will coat a pretty penny.

The father of Jessie Morrison is not rich. Her brother, who teaches school, had aid by several hundred dollare with which to visit Europe and the PariB ex-poBiton this summer. He has turned over every cent to the work of defending his sister. An uncle of the defendant who lives in West Virginia, is wealthy and has stood for some of the expenses of the trial. He is now in Eldorado with his brother, Judge Morrison.

DIDN'T LIKE THE DECISIONS. Militia Sympathizers Claimed Their Side (lot the Worst ot It -Score Was II to 10 for the Normal. Normal 11; Militia 10. This is the official score of the Thanks giving game over in Oak Dale park. The game as judged by the first half promised to be aB pretty an exhibition of football playing as has been witnessed in Salina for yearB, but an unfortunate decision on the part of Umpire Swisher at the last of the first half, which re sulted in a touchdown and a goal for the Normal, dispelled Dub illusion.

The Normal team had the ball on the Militia boys (i-yard line and Captain Thomas of the Militia called for time, walking towaid Umpire Swisher while ualling. The Normal boys ignored the all for time and made a touchdown, while the Militia were not lined up. Umpire Swisher claimed nut to have heard the call for time, so the Normal was accredited with the touchdown- The Militia boys and their friends swal lowed the dose, though it seemed to have been a bitter one from the wry faces made. From this time on everything was a wrangle. Hard names, angry retorts, and a few blows were indulged in.

Bus iness men, ord inarily cool and calculating, lost their heads and became boys again and made their angry voices heard above the din. According to the rules of the game the umpire and referee changed places at tbe end of the llrst half. The second half opened up more auspiciously for the Militia boys and after obtaining the ball on the kick-off they never lost possession ot it until a line buck by fullback Bush finally oarried it acroHB the Normals goal line, notwith. standing the fact that the Militia boya were repeatedly penali.ed and compelled, to carry the ball back many yards. Then commenced a aeries of wrangles over the descisions, and it was only after considerable persuasion that the Militia boys consented to continue the game.

After the first touchdown Hush missed an easy goal. Score -Normal Militia The Normals kicked olf again and the soldiers were making good returns through the line by hard bucks and by brilliant end dashes by "Stub" Kvana, when a fumble gave the ball to the Normals. Right half Wolfersberger got the ball with a dear field, but was prevented from making a touchdown by "Fleet-footed" Evans. An end buck carried the ball across the Militia's goal line. Fullback Hush prevented the Normal's try at goal on the ground that Referee Swisher was coaching his men.

An angry debate ensued and the Militie ey path izers poured in upon the Held, h(joting the opposition. Right half Wolfersberger, after the goal incident, was surrounded by crowd of rooters, hooting and yelling, and he roughly pushed aside a messenger boy. Ieft guard Miller of the Militia look up the quarrel and landed Wolfersberger a terrilic blow in the face. For a moment a free for all seemed imminent and little knots of angry partisans collected all over the gridiron. At length play began and a few moments later, quarter-back Ferm made a touch iown for the Militia.

Hush punted out, but Ferm lost his nerve for an instant and fumbled the ball. Time was called before another touch down could be made, although the Militia boys had the ball on the Normal 'i yard line and were making rapid advances toward their opponent's goal.

Admission, ten cents. Jury is Now Complete and Ready for Testimony. A DREARY THANKSGIVING. Jessie Morrison Kept In Her Cell While the World is All Bright Around Her Intense Interest in the Case. El Dorado, Nov.

trial of the Morrison murder case, which prom ises to be one of the hardest fought cases in the hiBtory of the state, began here this morning. Both sides are pre pared for the struggle and the lawyers are in almost constant consultation. The fact that the jury is composed entirely of farmers has created no little gossip. There is a legal superstition that a farmer's jury generally convicts and it is being whispered around El Dor ado. Both the defense and prosecution are hopeful.

"We will win. There is but little doubt but Miss Morrison will be acquitted," says Attorney Kramer for the de fenee. "The evidence against Miss Morrison is overwhelming and she can not escape conviction," saye J. O. Waters, attorney for the prosecution.

There was possibly only one person on the entire town site who was unable to partake of the refreshing draughts of freah, pure air washed down by the streaks of sunshine which peeked through the windows and under the cur tains ot the Eldorado homes and aroused the weary sleepers yesterday. And she was illing to enjoy these delicious offer ings of nature, but the'opportunity was denied her. Jessie Morrison, for whose life the pro ceedings of an august court opened to day, sat in her cell in Eldorado. Not ray of the beautiful Bunehine touched or gladdened her weeping heart. Not breath of the fresh air greeted her nostrils as she arose from her cot and prepared to meet a day of thanksgiving.

It was a sad Thanksgiving, indeed, for this frail woman whosits today and hears the evidence with which the state hopes to convict her of the charge of killing Clara Wiley Castle. A year ago she was happy and free. The thought arises "Where will she be a year from today The jurors who were selected Wednesday to try Miss Morrison were out yes terday for a walk. Fast the oourt house they went, within whose gray walls the little woman, whose fate will rest in their hands a few days hence, aits and thinks. Bailiff in front ot them, bailiff behind them, they walked and walked, the object of interest of more than a thousand pairs of eyes.

"What will they do with Jessie Morri son?" has been asked more than a thousand times. The father of Miss Morrison, who has been her one source of comfort since the hand of the law reached out and plaoed its powerful grip upon her arm, was at the jail with a basket tilled with many dainty things for his daughter's dinner. He was with her most of the day. Mrs. Turner, wife of the sheriff, had prepared an extra meal for her prison's fair charge, and with the offerings from her father's house, Miss Morrison did not go hungry, She was the recipient of many Moral offerings.

At the Morrison home it was a day of sad thanksgiving. At the borne of the murdered woman a prayer was offered for the repose of the soul of her who had given up her life in the very bloom of wifehood. A strengthening power was invoked to aid in bearing the burden of sorrow which had settled onto the house hold. The jury which has been choean to try Miss Morrison gives satisfaction to both the attorneys for the state and the de fense. One will of necessity have to suffer a change of mind when the trial is over.

It is rumored that the defense is espe cially pleased with the selection of one juror. He is known to be a fast and longlived friend of Judge Morrison, One of the attorneys, who is assisting tbe state, said this about the jury: "I like its looks thoroughly and be lieve it will give an honest verdict. waived our right to peremptory chal lenge in every instanoe save one, because we believed the jury was suitable from the first.

St. John's boys administered the third defeat, which the Junction City high school has Hundred this season at the hands of Salina I itriiH, on Wednesday afternoon on Junction City's grounds, by a score of 1 1 to 0. The only two touchdowns of the gnrne were made in the last live minutes of the second half by two brilliant and in comprehensible plays on the part of Reiariar and Fox. The first half was fought out in Junc tion City's territory, the ball exchanging barilla frequently. The second half up to the last live minutes was a repetition of the first half and was an exhibition of give and take.

Junction City, with the ball in her possession near the center of the field Btarted an end play, which resulted in disastrous fumble: The fumbled bull was picked up by lUtisner, who proceeded to show a clean pair of heels to his bewild ered opponents and touched the ball down back of Junction City's goal after a run of 'J yards. Wilson kicked goal Junction kicked off 40 yards and St. John's returned five. Both teams lined up quickly and then came the most da, zlingplayof the game. Fox took the ball for an end run, while the cadets swung around him on both sides, forming an Impenetrable barrier.
