old May Huhn proved herself one Of
the greatest juvenile swimmers in the
world at the north side natatorium
She swan a mile In 1:07:17 3-5. The
girl made worlds record, for no child
has ever accomplished the feat before
in such short time. The child is not
large for her age, nor does she seem
to have muscles developed to much
greater extent than other girls as
young as she, but it is the opinion OF
all that II she keeps at the game she
will In time be one of the greatest fe-
male swimmers in the world. George
Gaidzik lowered another worlds
mark for boys under 16 years old when
he swan two miles In 1.12;15. The
record was formerly held by Ralph
Uhlendorf. who made the same dis

the following story about the king of
Spain as throwing light on that royal
lads life: "One day, during his history
lesson, the king asked his professor to
tell him how Spain came to lose Gale,
Mexico and other Spanish-American
colonies. The etory was narrated so
thrillingly and artistically that the
royal boy listened spellbound and con-
tinued after 1t had ended to sit ab-
sorbed in meditation. At last thought
having struck him. he looked up to his
professor and inquired: What must
do in order to get back these countries
for Spain?' The first and most i'm

TEN was full of foreign fluids. This
condition could have been relieved by
proper medical treatment, and the
life Of the patient prolonged for a
number of years.
DR.. G. A. Frost, who ass sted in the
post-mortem, corroborated the state
ments of DR.. Reid.

The horses procured are for the most

wherever there Is need of them. Among
the requirements are the color OF the
animal, it's weight and its height. The
owner must stand the expense OF hav-
ing the two front shoes removed. fur
nish a halter and have the animal
weighed. at would require the ami
mails to be nodded" said horse trader
at the stockyards. "As yet there are
few horses that we have received that
some UP to the requirements Of the or
der, and an owner having horse that
would answer the style that Is wanted
by the army demands larger price
than the government offers to pay"
The local horsemen state that the gov
arnment will have to make some allow
ancs on the order or 1t will not get the
requisite number from this territory.
Horses are being secured that will
como UP to the requirements in many

UNION TIMERS ARE ENJoINED
Federal Court lntervenes in Strike
Kansas Coal District.

Ft, Scott, Kan. July IS Judge
Williams. iu the Federal court
here today, after listening to argu-
ments for many hours, granted in
functions against President Wright
of the Fourteenth district of the
United Mine Workers of America,
against the executive board in
charge of the Southeast Kansas
strike, and against every union
miner.
The right of speech and induce
ment was reserved for the defeud-
ants, who fought hard. One of the
coal companies sought by motion
to have the United Mine Workers
Union declared an illegal organi-
zation, but the court refused to do
this.
The defendants of all other per
sons who may com bine, confeder-
ate or conspire with them are sew
orally and collectively enjoyed
from interfering with, hindering,
boycotting, obstructing the bust
ness of the coal companies, or from
entering upon their premises or
congregating near their property
or from threatening, intimidating
or molesting any employe of the
company's. The strikers by their
attorneys, made a special plea to
have the Executive board exempt
ed from the injunction, bnt the
court said they were the ones
above all others to be enjoined.
President Wright and Joseph
Boston of Duquoin, Illinois, mem
bers of the National committee,
stated after the decision that the
Injunction would in no way affect
the strike, that it was becoming
more effective each day.
