HIS TONGUE CUT OFF
MINER MYERS OF THE HIGH SCHOOL
MEETS WITH AN ACCIDENT.

While Running With a Ball He Falls
Against a Barb Wire Fence, Cutting His
Tongue Through With the Cruel Barbs.
He is Borne Home Where Medical At
tention is Given and the Physicians Re-
port that He VIII Recover-Great Sor-

Another foot bali club in Wichita is
in trouble
Not only this but one Of their members
yesterday while practicing the game at
the high school grounds met with a sad
accident which may result in the loss of
the young mans tongue as a result of
the sad accident. Minor Myers. a stu
dent of the school lies in a critical con-
dition and his comrades are engulfed in
gloom and the pigskin lies on the shelf
in idleness.
The accident happened yesterday
morning While the young man was prac-
ticing. Myers is young athlete of
great prowress and in grading the bail
strated to make a run with his prize
when his foot caught and he was hurled
against a barbed wire fence.
The wire struck the young man in
the mouth, one of the barbs entering
his tongue about one inch from the end
and with his weight almost severed that
meber entirely.
The injured man swooned from the
terrible accident and was picked up by
his comrades while physicians were
summoned and latter he was conveyed
IN 10 in, a RI n
city.
The tongue was terribly lascerated
but 1t was placed together in such a
position as to permit it to grow togeth-
er, and the young man is left in a terri
BILE Condi ton. but the physicians give it
out as their opinion that he viii recov-
er, but that his sufferings will necessar-
lily be very great.
Minor Myers is highly spoken of by
all his companions and it has long been
predicted that he is of the stamp who
is destined TO make his mark in the
world. 1t is said that by mis- work at
night and during the morning hours
and on Saturdays he has paid his way
through the schools of the city, and
never comes to his recitations without
a perfect lesson.
There is general sorrow expressed by
all the pupils and teachers over the
sad accident and his companions Will
see that he lacks nothing during his
CONTINENT.

EAGLE AwAKENS THEM
Railroad Commission Cites the Railroads
to Appear.

The kick against the outrageous rail-
road conspiracy to steal the corn crop
Of 1895, which has been led by the Eagle,
with no uncertain sound, appears 10
have born fruit by at least stirring up
the state railroad commissioners to ac-
ton as Will be seen by the following dis
patch received by the Eagle at y
o'clock last night:
Topeka, Kan, Feb. THE state
board Of railroad commissioners today
sent second letter to the railroads re
lating to the corn rates to the gulf.
The roads are ordered TO bring in at
once evidence why the rate was raised,
or the case will be appealed TO the Unit

BOTH WERE TIRED
JUDGE DALE POSTP0HBS ALL THE
WHISKY CASES.

He Was Tired of Them and the Assistant
Attorney General Found Them to be no
Pieuie-They VIII Now 60 Over to the
May Term-Thst Means that They are
On Him and He Dismisses the schnItz-
ers-Burns Case-No More Whisky Pros
ecution this Term.
The people will now be given a rest
for three months from whisky prose-
cutions.
Yesterday Judge Dale OF the district
court, 5 suggested in Thursdays ESa-
gle, put stop to any more whisky
trials for this term and postponed the
twenty odd that were on the dockea
til May.
The matter was done very graceful
ly. He suggested the idea TO the as
siStant attorney general and the latter
said that whatever he Judge Dale
would do would be entirely satisfac-
tory.
Il am growing tired Of them" said
Judge Dale, and l guess you are too"
The assistant attorney general admit
ted that liquor trial was no dream
Of bliss but owing 10 his impending
trial he did not want 10 say outright
that he was tired of the prosecutions.
This agreement. decision, or what
ever II might be called. was brought
about after the assistant attorney gen.
eral nOlled a case while the jury was
still in the box.
II was one Of the Schnitzler cases in
which James Burns was defendant.
The trial was commenced in the police
court where conviction was had and
was taken to the district court on ap-
peal A venire of twenty-four farm
ers was brought in from the country
TO try ii, twenty Of whom were so pro-
nOunced in opposition 10 the methods
used in enforcing the law in Wichita
that they swore they. could not render
fair and impartial verdict. The bal
ance of the jury was found in the city.
Judge Campbells own witnesses went
back on him and SCENIC that a con-
viction was impossible he stood UP and
nolled the case.
ut seems to me- said Judge Dale,
that this hop tea IS very destructive
TO the memory for every witness who
drinks IL seems unable TO remember
anything since the Sth of last Octo-
Der"
Judge Campbell looked sick but seem
ed 10 regard Judge Dale's remarks as
being very apt.
The action of Judge Dale in postpon-
ing the whisky cases was endorsed by
the public as well as by the members
Of the bar. Everybody realized that
il was a waste Of time and an extrava-
gance of the public funds 10 try them.
Besides there is a great deal of other
criminal business on the docket to be
taken up that is of much more i'm
pOrtance than liquor trials. There
is also a vast amount OF urgent civil
business that was being delayed by
these prosecutions

VENE1uELA'S CASE.
First Installment Submitted to the
United States Commission.
Tho BOOK Is Devoted Exclusively to E1,
hibition of Official correspondence, and
Unlike Blue Book Is Without
Word OF Conment.

The Venezuelan commission has just
formally received the first installment
of the Venezuelan case from ex-Min-
lister Scruggs, counsel for the South
American republic, who presented
copies of the volume upon which he
has been engaged for the past six
months, and which he informed the
commission practically contained all
the substance of the Venezuelan con-
tention, though considerable supple
mentary evidence is expected from
Caracas and will be submitted as soon
as it arrives. The volume, which con-
tains 44o pages and a colored map, is
entitled "Official History of the Discus
sion Between Venezuela and Great Britt
ain on Their Guiana Boundaries" and is
devoted exclusively to the exhibition
of official correspondence, unlike the
British blue book, without word of
comment or argument, divided into
10 sections, each covering q distinct
phase of the negotiations since 1922.
The preface of the book is the official
letter of the Palmerston ministry of
March IS, 1910, already published, dis
crediting the Schomburgll line as an
intended boundary, followed by the
treaty of London Of 1914, by which the
Dutch coded to Great Britain the "Cape
of Good Hope and the establishments
of Demerara, Essequibo and Berbice.''
Over 200 letters and official docu-
ments are given in full in this book, ar
ranged in chronological sequence, very
few of them having heretofore been
quoted publicly.

Says 1t Is Too Early to Hear from the
Arctic Representatives of Baron Toll.
The Lolsal Anzeiger, of Berlin, pub
fishes an interview with DIR. Nansen's
wife, in which she says she does not be-
lieve- the reports Recently received THAI
her husband is returning from the north
pole. She lis confident that her husband
will succeed in his purpose to reach the
north pole, but she thinks it is too
early yet to expect news.
The Swedish minister at st. Peters,
burg reports that in an interview which
he has had with Baron Toll, the Attic
explorer who established the Nansen
provision depots on the Netherland
islands, regarding the recent dispatch
from Irkutsk showing that Kuchnareff's
letter regarding Nansen was dated No
vember 10, Baron Toll expressed the
opinion that the date diminishes the
probability that the report of DIR. Nam
sens discovery is true, inasmuch as DR..
Nansen or Il comrade must have reached
the mainland at the same time, in which
Gaze a direct communication from the
explorer ought to have been received
long ago. Kuchnareff's communica-
ton, therefore, Baron Toll thought,
lacked n n1sitiva foundation
