Order Of Sheriff Thompson Stirs
City to the Core.
AN ENFORCEMENT OF BLUE LAW
THREATENED.
Mayor Samuel L. Lord Issues a Proclama
tion in Which He ID efines His Interpre-
tation of the Sheriff's Decree Against
Illegal Sunday Traffic.
ESPECIAL TO THE rREsssl


Saco, May 6.-Saco's Democratic mayor
and York county's Republican sheriff
have had another falling out in conse-
quence of which Saco is threatend with a
bad attack of the blues.
Sheriff Thompson came down from
Newfield yesterday and shortly after his
return verbal order of his was passed
around by Deputy Sheriff James H. Miles
among the Saco druggists. The sheriff's
closest friends now say that his decree
simply meant that Sunday liquor selling
must cease. But that wasn't the way
the Saco druggists interpreted it as it
came from Deputy Miles lips. Instead
of calling it rum business, Miles re-
ferred to it as ''illegitimate Sunday trade"
and some of the traders jumped at the
conclusion that the sheriff was aiming at
the soda fountain, the cigar stand and
the Sunday news counters.
Mayor Samuel L. Lord is a druggist
To his great credit it can be said that not
even his political enemies ever accused
him of selling liquor, but he does derive
considerable profit from the sale of cigars
and newspapers on Sunday.
Mayor L ord's Interpretation of the
sheriffs orders corresponded with that of
his fellow merchants and while his blood
was up today he seized pen, dipped
it in the blacklist ink, and dashed off this
proclamation

A Corn, Cow and Calf Story.

Early this week Frank Ball sold
100 head Of cattle among them
three cows and calves, to the bowling
Brothers near Chapman. On the way
down calf lodged into a cornfeld
and all searching failed to find it, the
men finally being compelled to 60 on
with the remainder of the stock. The
corn was so large that itseemed hope
less to think of ever locating the miss
ing calf. But the next night the
mother Of the calf broke out Of the
pasture near Chapman, came back
along the road, found the calf and in
the morning was with her offspring
standing at the gate Of the Walnut
Grove pasture when Mr.. Ball went
out, none the worse for the fifteen
mile night journey.

The law passed by the Legislature
last winter providing that all assign.
ments Of mortgages must be filed with
the register Of deeds, made an allow
ance Of six months during which old
assignments might be put on record.
The time expires Sept. 18th, and those
to whom assignments have been made
have been placing the papers on file
during the past few days. Thirty
one assignments were filed yesterday
and thirty-fve this morning The
law provides that hereafter mort
gagor may pay off his mortgage note
to the person whose ownership of the
mortgage and note appears last on re
cord and it shall be full satisfaction
of he debt. 1t enables every one to
know exactly who holds his mortgage
and frees him from the necessity of
dealing through an agent in case Of
renewal or in paying coupons.

BEST IN THE STATE.
Dickinson as Usual Leads the Wheat
Procession.

junction City Union; Probably the
biggest yield of wheat of the state
comes from Cary creek, in the Gugler
neighborhood, over in Dickinson
county. A. H. Stickford had eight
acres of wheat that weighed out 4SS
bushels, making over 60 bushels, and
sold for something like $4S.60 an
acre.
There can be no question as to the
accuracy of this statement. Messrs.
John Taylor, Ed Hassler and Andy
Brown bought the wheat for seed,
weighed it and paid for that much
wheat.
Mr.. Stickford had another field Of
thirty.eight acres that turned out
forty-six bushels per acre, or LAS
bushels, worth over $1,39S. The big
yield Of wheat was Russian.

GREAT OLD CROW RoosT.
Northeast Dickinson's Annual Crow
Convention in Session.

Up in northeast Dickinson near the
Probasco place and in some timber is
one Of the greatest crow roosts Of
central Kansas. Tens OF thousands of
the black and noisy birds gather there
for headquarters during the fall and
winter, remaining until spring. They
are coming in now-long hocks Of
them flying with the regularity of
soldiers from all directions, evidently
having spent the summer abroad.
They discuss their grievances in shrill
"caws" and are now waiting for the
ripening OF the corn and the up
springing of the young wheat when
they will get something nice for a
Thanksgiving dinner. They start
out in flocks in the early morning and
return at twilight to their roosts. If
the day is to be still they fly high; if
it it is to be windy they start out fly
ing low, and the neighbors have
learned to consider them a wind in
dicator.
Thos. Perry. well known farmer
living in that vicinity, thinks that
this great roosting place is a menace
to the well being of stock, He thinks
that the crows flying to the yards
where are diseased animals and to
the places where diseased carcasses
are left on top of ground carry dis
ease germs from farm to farm and so
spread it, In Crawford county there
was one of these crow roosts and the
county commissioners in order to
break it up offered a bounty on crows
and effectually wiped ont the place
1t may become necessary to do the
same here.
