Saturday at Fayetteviile, the Fort Scott High schoolfoot ball team went down to another defeat. This time it was before a foe that upon two previous occasions have lost to Fort Scott. Saturday was a rainy day and the boys were compelled to line up mud six inches deep.

Rain fell during the entire game, which took much of the snap and ginger out of the contest The final score stood 16 to 0 in favof of the State university team. Arkan- Isas has a strong eleven in the field this season and has defeated many of the large teams of the southeast. While some believed th the local team could beat the Arkansawyers, It must be remembered that Fort Scott foot ball players are boys ah of whom are under the age of 20 years, while on the other hand the Arkansas universi eleven has members that are well aQTancea in mannooa ana nave piayeu 1 ci. iuo 6ui: ium uuiuuci ui jpaio. tn nntMn- a as the Arkansas aggregation is not by any means aa poor a showing as It wouldem as mnj other ejevens gcott boyg played in Sprmgfield today iiiisr nv munn larppr Roor 'I hp Wnrt and are expected home tomorrow.

The discussion is also expected to settle the question of strikes for some time to come. Many witnesses are yet to be examined and the investigation will necessarily oe long drawn out.

City. N. Nov. 17. The term of court which commenced here today promises to be of extraor dlnary interest, aa the case of James Wilcox, once convicted of the murder of Nellie Cropsey, comes up for trial again.

Wilcox i the son of ex-Sheriff-Thos P. Wilcox of this town. He went- to the home of William H. a welKo-do man of this place, on the night of November 20 last, to call on Miss Nellie Cropsey, to whom he had played the devoted lover since 1898 When he arrived the family was in the sitting room. Roy Crawford was there, calling on Miss Olive, a sister of Nellie.

Soon after 9 o'clock the members of the household except the two sisters and Miss Carrie Cropsey, a New York cousin, retired. At 1:30 Miss went to her room, leaving the two young men, Crawford and, Wilcox, with Olive and Nellie. Wilcox and Nellie had been quarreling for some weeks and were not on speaking terms. The girls had refused the day before to accept fruit bought by Wilcox. He had been paying special attention to Miss Carrie for a week or two.

Without having said anything to the girl during the evening Wilcox put on his hat shortly after Miss Carrie had retired and asked Miss Nellie if she would not speak to him in the hall. She said nothing, hut went. The door was closed behind them. The girl disappeared ana was never seen alive again by anyone except Wilcox. Her body was found thirty-seven days later in the Pasquotank river, not more than luO yards from the house.

Wilcox was arrested and tried for her murder. Public feeling was intense and a speedy trial resulted in a verdict of guilty and a death sentence. There was some fear of mob violence, la granting a new trial the supreme court said that the evidence was entirely circumstantial; that the jury did not seem to have given the necessary cautious and vigilant attention to the evidence or to the presentation of the prisoner's case by counsel, and that the conduct of the spectators and about the court was sufficient to prejudice the jury.
