ward Winning the
Game
The Lexington high school jour-
neyed to Lindsay Friday afternoon
to tackle the Lindsay high school
in their own lair and took the Gar-
vin county boys into cntnp by a
score of 24 to 6.
Despite,the fact that the team
was crippled by the loss of several
players, the local aggregation
showed up in splendid form running
over their heavier opponents at will
and only letting up after they had
attained a safe lead. There was no
roll, of honor as every member of
the team played his position light
up to the standard and team wfirlc
seemed to be the paramount aim of
all.
Lexington kicked off to Lindsay.

During the second half the ball

and three touchdowns were scored
by Lexington which were disollowed
for some reason or other by the
referee. * j

by Rev. Henry were held at the j

noon at 2 o'clock with interment
in the Lexington cemetery.
The deceased was some twenty-1
eight years old and had been a suf-
ferer during the past two years.
Sometime ago with her husband
she went to New Mexico in the hope
of bettering her health, returning
here four months ago. Her condi-

her husband was sent for, arriving
just a few days before the end came.
Mrs. Tuttle was a devoted Chris-

broken she was always at work per-
forming some good deed for Chris-

ber of friends who deplore her death
and mourn with the bereaved rela-
tives.

Gist Pleads Guilty
Within a short time after hearing
of the action of the supreme court
in setting November 4 as the date
for passing on his application for a
writ of habeas corpus, E. W, Gist
the young man supposed to have
been held in the county jail at Pur-
cell on a charge of gambling, en-
tered a plea of guilty and after pay-
ing a fine of $25 was dismissed.
This brought the case, which prom-
ised some interesting developments
to an end so far as habeas corpus
proceedings are concerned.
Gist was charged with playing
"pitch" for money, which is made
an offence punishable by both fine
and imprisonment under the gen-
eral anti-gambling law passed by
the last legislature. When he was
placed on trial Gist's attorneys
made his defense on the allegation
that the gambling law had been
suspended and was not ill operation
by reason of the referendum peti-
tion recently filed with the secretary
ii| state.
The state's attorneys, demurred,
contending that the law had not
been suspended for the reason that
the framers of the petition did not
miply wi'" n <ji litlitional
requirements in getting up the pe-
tition. This contention was sus-
tained in a rather lengthy opinion
handed down by Judr;e McMillan
oi the district court of McClain
