The playing field was as hard and dry as a • hip, noparently, and looked very’ fast, much to the disappointment of Yale’s adherents. * It was announced that Knox, the speedy halfback, could not possibly play, being unable to lift Ills Injured -nn, Itoonie was placed at right half back and Morse at fullback. The • hange, however, did not seem to Influ ence the betting.

Promptly at 1:60 p. m. the Yale squad dashed on the field. There was a w ild burst of cheers from the, east stand, where Yale partisans were massed, and the stand had on a de rided Yale tint.

The holocaust was u rival of that which burned the glue factory, and stripped the horror laurels from the fire which consumed the Wetnerwurst gravy boat. , The members of tho Dam family died without a groan and only a few charred lumps of gelatin remained to tell of the fnte of one of the most prominent and foremost households In America. Tile firemen came. The Incident was made notable otherwise because It In itiated "Dll!” t’unimlngs Into his new position of lire chief. The chief does not know yet what happened nt that lire. The members of # the Dam household had no warning of’the approach of the names. The Dam dog must have been asleep on the rug In the sitting room before a coay fire.

STOPPED WORK SUDDENLY; SAID LORD COMMANDED HIM NOT TO MOVE AGAIN Continued on Page Three. Trembling with fear and with deathly pallor mapped In his face, worker named Dunn suddenly ceased labor at the Brookwood Green-houses, Peachtree road, Friday morning stlf fened in his tracks, and declared that the Lord had commanded htm to quit work and not to move an Inch until given permission by Him to do so. Under the Influence of hla supposed command, Dunn stood on the spot where he stopped work from 10 o'clock In the morning until 6: JO o’clock In the evening. He refused to eat a bite of anything and all the pleadings of nu merous friends failed to move him an Inch. When he was finally taken from the place where he stood by sheer force, he regained hla physical control and walked from the house, apparently as well as anyone. At 10 o’clock Friday morning em ployees of the green-house were star tled by the sudden stiffening of a co worker, Dunn, In hla tracks. Dunn had been working among the flowers, when he received what he believed to be a command from, the Lord. When his companions saw the healthy glow on the man’s face turn to a deathly pallor, they crowded about him. They excit edly demanded to know the trouble. “Lord Commanded Me." without the least hesitation replied: "The Lord commanded me to atop working and to stand still until He told me to move. I Intend .obeying Ills command.” Dunn refused to eat any food during the entire day. ’Tm cold:' I’m hungry,” he said, "but I can't eat anything.” Pleadings of hla friends falling to have any effect on Duni^ hla brother was sent for. Dunn atlll declared his Inten tion of staying In his tracks until the I,ord gave him permission to go. Men were afraid to touch Dunn. There was something weird about the whole thing that put a alight feeling of fear In the hearts of all. Two policemen who were called finally took courage enough to lift the man bodily from the spot. As soon as he was removed an inch from the place where he seemed trans fixed. Dunn Is said to have recovered completely. He did not appear at the green-house to work Saturday and hi, employers have heard nothing of It In since Friday evening. Dunn lives nee- Grant park. Herkimer, X.

Tho police asked to have the Inquest continued In order to Investigate this theory. The woman was shot through the side of the head, like her husband, and both her eyes were blackened by tin- shock. In her forehead, though, there la a two-inch clean-cut gash, made by a slurp Instrument and penetrating to the bone. Police Not Satisfied.
