Prosecution Offers Testimony and
Matter is Taken Under Ad
visement by Court.
Because the last legislature failed
to repeal the act of 1SG7 adopting a
seal of the state and a siniiliar adop
tion by the legislature in 1913, and
i betccaur,e there is no specific approv
al of a new seal by the legislature,
Assistant Attorney General Mason
Wheeler expresses the opinion that
the old seal remain the official seal
of Iho slate until these defects are
remedied iy legislative act
This opinion is pleasing to many
pioneers ot Nebraska, who are as
much opposed to a change in the de
sign of the state seal as was a. cer
tain mythical man man opposed to a
change in the name of the state of
Arkaiuas. The attorney general's

CLIFFORD IN SECOND
Pride of Minnesota Goes Down Before
Avalanche of Blows from the
Ex-Navy Champion.
Minnesota famed for its Gold
Medal flour and blue ribbon boxers
went down to defeat yesterday be
fore the Pride of Nebraska when
Andy Schmader stopped Jack Clifford,
the formidable Minneapolis boxer
who occupied a place in Dempsey's
training camp prior to the Carpen
tier bout July 2nd. The fight had
just gotten well under way when
Andy landed the winning blow In
the second' round and Clifford stret
ched his length upon the canvas for
the count of ten. The show was
staged at Nebraska City under the
auspices of the American Legion post
and was held in connection with the
Labor day celebration there.
Some disappointment in the pre
liminaries led to considerable delay
in getting started and it wras nearly
4 o'clock, when George Schmader,
brother of Andy, and another boxer
were substituted for contestants who
failed to appear, and boxed a no-decision
bout, which is said to have
been filled with greater action than
either of those that followed. George
is slated to appear in the Legion's
show here the night of September 14,
in a six round decision preliminary,
and is expected to give equally good
account of himself.
The senii-windup was between
Billy Rolfe and Harry Boyle of Om
aha, Kolfe having much the better of
the fight and gaining the referee's
decision with very little effort.
While the wind-up was short lived,
it was the inevitable result of Clif
ford, who is a well known boxer and
has many victories to his credit, hav
ing met a better man than he and
one who is on the road to a place
at the top.
Andy Schmader is a hard-hitting
scrapper and one who can assimilate
a world of punishment if necessary.
For this reason it takes a good roan
to outlast him in a ring battle. The
local Legion post believe they have
a good man in Jrm Marples, the
Chicago heavyweight who floored
Tony Melchoir recentb, and we can
see no reason why a great scrap isn't
in store for the fight fans here cn
the 14th, although, as we have said
before it takes a mighty good man
to outlast Andy. ! .
