The First Quarter.
'I'ho tlrKt iiiitrter | of the game was
opened with Norfolk's fumbling Oak
land's klckol'f. Oakland then punted
and In a regular line buck Ogden got
the ball and through a scattered field
ho took It over for a touchdown after
two minutes of play. Kishor kicked
i goal gracefully. Oakland was surpris
I ed and admitted that while Norfolk
players looked small , they were
"there. " The prophecy of ex-Snpt.
Hunter that the first two minutes of
play usually decided which team
would win the game began to go the
rounds among Norfolk players and
Pearson and Alexander , the two fast
Oakland tackles , had their hands full.
After the ball had been returned to
the field from Klshor's goal kick , Lo
gan took possession of It and threat
ened another touchdown. II. Larson
at left end. hold Logan down , but Lo-
gan'H gain was a good one. In a mlx-
np Swansou was out for a moment
and later he delayed the game once
more , being out for almost three min
utes. In this niix-ui ) Logan was push
ed forward fast with Parish giving
great Interference. With Oakland
yelling , "Nothing to it , " Norfolk suc
cessfully executed the "shift play"
and put Logan over for a touchdown
after that halfback bad worked up the
entire field. This time Fisher missed
goal. This second touchdown was
made In five minutes of play.
Oakland erred In hesitating whether
to punt or try a forward pass , notwith
standing the fact that there only re
mained a short time to finish the first
quarter. Oakland's backflold fought
hard as Koerbor landed on tbo ball
and In a shift play Logan gained heav
ily. Six minutes were played and Em
ery was put over for the third touch
down , followed by Fisher with a
graceful goal kick. As time was call
ed Parish passed beautifully to Koer-
ber , which gained heavily on Oak
land , but the shift which followed
aided little.
The Second Quarter.
It took Logan only one minute and
a half to score a touchdown In the
second quarter , which was the result
of a few line bucks and a shift play ,
lu the back-kick Parish stepl'ed ' over
the line and there was no goal kick.
In the mix-up which started after the
touchdown Peden , Oakland's quarter
back , showed his good points in mak
ing fair gains. Oakland punted and
Norfolk took the ball and passed it to
Emery who took it over for a touch
down after only three minutes' play.
Fisher kicked safely again. Three
minutes later Emery ran forty yards
with the ball and a touchdown once
more with Parish , Ogden and lllbben
making good their work of interfer
ence. Fisher kicked goal.
Thirty seconds later Parish ran
eighty yards with the ball for a touch
down , followed by Fisher's goal kick.
Oakland seemed dragging behind the
fast Norfolk quarterback. The Interference -
ference on the part of the Norfolk
team in this play was good and the
fans r \ the side lines rooted lustily.
As the quarter ended , making the
score 40 to 0 in Norfolk's favor , Odi-
erne leaped high In the air and stop
ped Peden , who was taking in a for
ward pass. Koerber and Fisher fea
tured in the wind-up of this quarter
and first half.
The Third Quarter.
Koerber took Oakland's kickoff in
the first of the third quarter back to
whence it started. Oakland here recovered -
covered the ball and in an effort at a
forward pass took possession of it.
In a regular line play Logan took it
over for a touchdown and followed by
Fisher's goal kick in four minutes of
actual playing.
Hobortson fumbled Norfolk's kickoff -
off and the ball remained where 11
landed. Odiorne took Oakland's punt
and Logan , to whom It was passed , al
most went over for a touchdown. Em
ory made gains at this time. Coach
Colegrove found Parish holding im
mediately afterward and penalized
Norfolk fifteen yards. Pearson was
doing good work here for Oakland and
Norfolk lost In an effort on a three
cornered forward pass. Just as W.
Holland was getting cheered for ills
good tackling , Logan made a long run
with the ball for a touchdown , sup
ported by throe good Norfolk inter
ference men. Fisher made the goal
easily as the quarter ended.
The Last Quarter.
As tbo last quarter opened Quarter
back Peden for Oakland gave the side
lines cause to gasp as ho took the ball
for nearly forty yards and threatened
a touchdown. Norfolk's goal , however
over , was not in danger and Parisl
and several other Norfolk sprinterb
waylaid Peden a good distance from
the goal , AH Oakland punted back
Logan made u spectacular eighty-five-
yard rim for a touchdown and was
followed by Flnhor's goal kick. Offl-
clalH Union gave Logan two mlnnlOH
of actual play of the quarter for hl
sensational run. .him before the game
ended , and In quick succession , Logan
took the ball over to more times ,
followed by Fisher's beautiful goal
kicks.

Stehr is Convicted.
Madison , Neb. , Nov. 25. Special to
The News : Henry Stehr was this af
ternoon found guilty of manslaughter
in collection with the death of bis 3-
year-old son Kaurt Stohr , whose death
followed tbo freezing of his feet in
the blizzard of Jan. 1 , last.
The Jury was out three and a half
hours. Counsel for tbo defense Im
mediately made a motion for a new
trial
Sentence will not bo pronounced
until after this motion has been ar
gued and passed on by the court. The
argument on this motion will bo heard
today.
The penalty for manslaughter Is
Imprisonment In the state peniten
tiary not less than one year nor more
than ten years.
Story of the Case ,
Llttlo Kaurt Stehr , 3-year-old lllegl
tlmato son of Mrs. Henry Stehr , was
found several days after the bllzzart
of New Year's day , this year , to be
suffering with gangrenous feet. The
feet were amputated , ono of them fall
ing off during the operation , the gan
grene having rotted the bone. It de
veloped that the child had been frozen
In the bllzrard. Neighbors said the
! ltlo ! fellow had been shut in an
outbuilding during that awful storm.
Witnesses told of Stohr's having
whipped the child' cruelly. Mrs.
Klenlz and MIsH Klentz , the nurses to
whoso home the lad was taken for
[ lie operation , told of finding welts on
his stomach , a gash on his eye and a
cut on his thigh. Stohr admitted bav-1
ng whipped the child with a strap
.o correct him of a disease.
The death of the little fellow was
mthetlc and tragic. Ho bad called
'or his mother but she failed to come
o his bedside on the day of his death ,
lespito the fact that the word was
sent to her.
Three days after the child's foot
wore taken off ho died In the arms of
ils aunt , Mrs. Dnnkrath , In the Klent'/
loine.
The jury apparently decided that
Stehr was wilfully negligent and dere-
let of bis duty toward the child , and
horoforo brought In a manslaughter
verdict In accordance with Judge
iVolch's instructions.
Judge Welch Instructed the jury
bat no verdict of first or second do-
; ree murder could bo found because
of Insufficient evidence , lie defined
iianslaughtcr and stated that If the
lury found that Stehr had wilfully
teen indifferent of negligence in bis
reatment of the child from Dec. HI ,
when the boy's feet were frozen , to
Ian. 18 , when they were amputated ,
hat a verdict of manslaughter must.
be returned. The judge said ignorance
ould not be regarded as an excuse
'or failure to exercise care and dill-
joneo toward the child. I
County Attorney Nichols concluded
ils closing argument with an eloquent
tppeal for conviction in the Interest
of childhood when court convened this
norning.
The Defense Rests.

lay afternoon , having kept Mrs. Stohr
ipon the stand all day. |
The state then recalled Dr. Tash- '
can who testified that lie did not no-
ice any indication of diabetes when

: ho operation. Dr. Verges was recall-
: -d also and testified that the gan
grenous condition of the boy's feet
was the result of freezing and that the
loy was not afflicted with diabetes ,
although ho had a number of symp
toms. I
Mrs. Hankrath was recalled and said ,
she bad bad trouble with Mrs. Stehr j
over some laundry , but it did not j
imount to much ; that they were
friends and she bad told Mr. Stehr
1 number of times not to punish the j j
child. ' I
Mrs. Klentz was recalled and testl-j
fied that she did send word to the'
mother before the child died and told
ier she had better come , but she did
lot come until 9 o'clock at night and
: hat the child never asked to be taken
: iomo. lie told her to go away.
Murder Charge Ruled Out.
At this juncture botli the state and
defense rested. And the motion of
counsel for the defense to find the'
defendant not guilty of murder in the
first and second degree for the rea
son of Insufficient evidence of delib
erate and premeditated purpose and
motive to kill , was sustained and the
jury was so instructed. At 3 o'clock
Attorney Isaac Powers made the opening -
ing argument to the jury on behalf of
the prosecution. Ho talked but a few
minutes. Then followed M. D ; Tyler
for the defense. Mr. Tyler for one
hour spoke with tremendous force
and conviction. His argument was in
every way a masterly effort. II. F.

over the evidence from a defensive
point of view. County Attorney Nich
ols contended ably for conviction In
