Those reporting this fall will be conditioning for next spring's track’ team. 1t is Coach Depot's custom to get his men out in the fall for cross- country running.

Stanley Welles, charged with having gambling equipment. | The arrest was made by State Po- liceman Patrick O'Toole who testi- fied he was sent to the diner on September 8§ at about 2:30 p. m. | upon complaint that a machine was | eperated there with nickels. The officer testified he played th2 machine and that an arrangement was made with a plate whereby candy mints could be gotten. After playing a dollar's worth of nickels he got no candy but did get four nickels in the jack pot once and two nickels on two other tries. Mrs. Duffy was represented by Attorney Dunn of Madison who ask- ed the officer if he reported to the counter man that no candy was re- ceived from the machine or that ths machine was outyof order. The officer replied that he did re- port the matter to the counter man and then seized the machine as evidence. Mrs. Duffy stated the machines were ordinarily tested every day and a supply of mints left on the coun- ter in case the machine was out of | order. ypU's | previously, Attorney Dunn stated that an in- junction had been issied in som courts prohibiting police or pro; cutors from prosecuting owners of | this type of machine. | The attorney admitted there may | have been a slight technicality in | the case. He told the court that a | similar case was in superior court | and the fine was not more than $20. [ l Judge Welles found Mrs. Duffy guilty and fined her $20 and costs | | of $10.31.

It was )\S intended that the sarcophagud®should figure in the restored tomb, but it was to have been preserved for its historical associations. It was believed here that the dismantling of the sarcophagus was the result of a misunder- standing among the workmen as to what disposition was to be made of it. At one time it was proposed that the body of Mrs. Lincoln, be placed in the sarco- phagus and that it be set in one of the crypts.
