mLLL ErENruALLr nE orr GAME.

" mn ~ nv tffhh' ~ f'''
Spain fooled us good in that game
Of hide-and seek it played with its
Cape Verde fleet, and it is greatly
feared that the fleet now has it in its
power to choose whether it will fight
Admiral Simpsons fleet, which hat
tered the forts i'm the harbor OF San
Juan, Porto Rico, few days ago, or
Commodore Schley's dying squadron,
which is now for the first time acting
up TO it's name, enter a Cuban harbor
without lighting, or make a dash for
some OF our coast cities. This state
OF affairs would be eXasperating were
IL not FOR the satisfaction everyone
feels in knowing that this Spanish
fleet is actually in American waters.
II may dodge us for while, but IL is
bound TO be our game in the end. The
end will be at once If the Spanish
leet dares to fight either Of our fleets.
One mans guess is about as good as
another's about the intention OF the
Spanish fleet, bu. few days will
show them.

A solicitor for u Kansas City live
stock commission firm, named Green
shields, appears to have worked good
many local cattle men in different
parts of the State. lie was In this city
a few weeks ago and drew a number of
checpson his commission firm for small
amounts, which he got local dealers tU
endorse. Later the checks came back
not paid. He was arrested and
brought back to Newton where he had
also done the same thing, and settled
matters up claiming there was some
misunderstanding between himself and
his principals. Complaints seem to
have been sent In from several other
places, and he said on leaving Newton
he would settle all he owed every
where. Whether this has heen done
Ia not known but he hasn't here unless

Under the Antitrust Law.

Onuof the Antl'L trust Law
The first case to be brought under
the new ANTITRUST law Of this State
under Jurisdiction Of our local courts
WAS brought up In Esq. Campbell'c
court, Wednesday. 1t was in the nat.
ure of a civil suit for damages. The
case was brought by Frank Parker OF
the Hutchinson Merchantlle Co.,
against A. L. FOrsha. It was alleged
that Mr.. Forsha sold his flour to the
retailers with the agreement that they
we're to sell at a certain margin. MIR.
Parker sold at less than that margin
and Mr.. Forsha then refused to sell
him more flour, which fact as Mr..
Parker alleges, being unable to pro-
cure the flour in which he had been
dealing, had damaged bis business to
certain specified amount.
Mr.. Parker is represented in the
case by Attorney John Roberts, and
Mr.. Forsha by II. Whiteside. AS we
90 to press the defense is endeavoring
to have the case dismissed on the
ground that the alleged combination,
to keep up prices, was alleged be-
tween the miller and retailers and not
between millers. If beaten In the
justice court Mr.. Parker will probably
appeal.

Attempt at Suicide.

A reformatory inmate named G. e.
Stowell, made an attempt at suicide
one day last week, or at least tried to
make the officers think he had done 80.
lie pounded his nose against the floor
Of his cell till II bled quite freely and
then wrote note to his relatives bid
ding them farewell and saying that by
the time the note would reach them he
would be out Of his suffering etc. He
also told the officers he had swallowed
a lot Of needles, glass and other things
of like description, but 80 far he has
failed to realize any results on them.
Stowell is here from Topeka Tor bur-
glary and grand larceny. He tried
to commit suicide twice In Jail before
being brought here. Just as Their reform
atory officer who went for him brought
him away, he shook hands with someone
who as they performed the net passed
n white powder to him, presumed to
be strychnine, which upon being
searched was found upon his person.
Suicides are not uncommon In such In
situations. Wade Thomas, the ire
pressible, whose subduing created such
a sensation last spring, made two or
three desperate efforts at suicide while
incarcerated here under Morse's ad-
ministratlon of the institution.

A Wolf Hunt.

A big wolf hunt fashioned after the
plan Of Mayor Harsha's two toots'
burglar hunt, was arranged to take
place Wednesday, yesterday, but as
we 20 to press shortly after noon
Wednesday, 1t will be impossible to
give anything but the general plan.
Pete Weggen Is TO have charge and
all hunters are to meet ut the county
poor farm at 900 o'clock In the morn
ing to organize. Everybody without
regard TO race, religion, politics or
previous condition of servitude are in
vlted to attend, with his dogs, the
more dogs the merrier. The plan as
we understand it is to surround a sec.
ton at a time and close in with the
dogs and wolves in the middle. This
country is now so thickly settled and
so well fenced with wire and hedge as
to very seriously handicap such hunt
and the circle can not be made very
large. Shot guns and twenty-five
rifles are permitted, but Winchesters
and other long range guns are ruled
out. Wolves are reported to be quite
plentiful, and a thinning out is desired.
