Drops a Few Points by Being Defeated by Derby and Meriden Shut Bristol Out-score Was 3 to O. Waterbury Here To-doy.

Bridgeport, Aug. 6.-Derby defeated Bridgeport here to-day in a postponed game in which heavy batting on the part of the visitors and wretched field ing by the home team were the only features. Giblin was batted at will, a total of eighteen hits being piled up in favor of the Derbys. A wild throw by Doherty from second base to first re- suited in three runs for the visitors, and later Dougherty put one so far out of reach that two Derby men crossed the plate. A little pop fly from Con- roys bat dropped in the long grass in left field, and the batter made cir cult of the bases and scored a home run before the sphere was located by the distracted fielders.

w. L. Brown Shows the Posi-
bilities of Kingman County.
Fifteen Years Ago He Planted
$4,000 Slips of Trees.

Has Now One of the Finest
Groves in the State.
Has Cut $500 Fence Posts and

MOSTLY HARD WOOD.

Kingman, March 30.-One of the larg-
est timber groves in Kansas is owned
by w. L. Brown, of Kingman county.
Fifteen years ago he set out $4,000
forest trees, most of which have lived
and grown into good sized trees. Speak
ing of the matter, Mr.. Brown says:
"They were little sprouts, many of
which could not be seen after they
We're planted. Nearly all were hard
wood and some untried in this part OF
the state. The rows were eight feet
apart and the trees planted six feet
apart in the rows. The first year we
planted corn between the rows and
after that simply cultivated them the
same as corn. AT the end of five years
they shaded the ground and cultivation
ceased. All there was to do after that
was to remove the water sprouts once
a year and occasionally a few limbs
From the grove we have taken at least
$500 fence posts, which would have cost
us $3.50 if we had been obliged to buy
sheds, corn cribs, etc, and today, if we
wish. would cut 900 posts, that are
worth at least $1,250. But this is not
the only benefit that we have derived
from the investment. The coolest day
that blows it is warm in that grove;
the cattle and hogs are warm and con-
tented. Their feed is not blown all over
the country, and it saves many dollars
along this line. For ten years it has
not been necessary to buy any fuel for
the man on the farm, and a great deal
has been sold or hauled for use here in
town.

SUSPECTED POISONING.
Coroner's Inquest Over Man Who
Died Last August

Oswego, March sO.-A coroner's in
quest is being held at this place over
the body of George Helwig, who died
on the 14th of last August. Mr.. Helwig
was a very prosperous and well to do
farmer who resided south of this place
for a number of years. At the time of
his death no suspicious were INDUCED
in, but later developments point to
case of poisoning and rumor has it that
the county attorney has in his posses
sion evidence which will show that
poison was in the house at the time of
his death.
About six months prior to the death
of Mr.. Helwig his wife employed attor-
neys and brought suit for divorce and
alimony, but before the case came to
trial they made up and were living to-
gether at the time of his death In
about two months from the death OF
Mr.. HelWig, Mrs. HelWig was married
to a man named F. NJ Caldwell, with
whom she had been infatuated both be-
fore and during their married life The

News From Nemaha County.

Seneca, March 3O.-John Johnson, the
colored man from Centralia, who as
saulted Alec (BilD Dalton at that place
on March 10, and who was subsequently
captured in Pawnee City, Neb., was
arraigped before Justice Mitchell of this
city yesterday. The hearing occupied
two days. Johnson was bound over in
the sum of $500 to the June term of
the district court. The state was rep
resented by County Attorney S. p. Mold
and F. w Jacobs, and the defense by
Wells & Wells and ex-Judge r. NJ.
Emery. Johnson bears the reputation
of being bad man, and Dalton claims
to be a. relative of the famous Dalton
outlaws.
There have been numerous rumors
afoat for the past ten days about the
sale of the Seneca. Chronicle. For the
past few years there have been dis
contented Republicans in this county
who have attempted to start second
Republican paper here. This spring,
when the Bailey and Leland followers,
of which the Tribune was their cham
pion, opposed Judge Emery for national
delegate, the sentiment was renewed.
The Chronicle, which succeeded the
News, is edited by Rev. ]. S. BecknelI.
The Emery Republicans are trying to
get control of it and convert in to a
Republican sheet. w. ]. Granger who
lately sold the Centralia Journal to
Arthur P. Jackson and H. L. Waite, is
said to be figuring on editing the new
paper.

TROUBLE AT WICHITA.
Labor Unions Declare a Boycott on
the New Street Railway.

Wichita, March 30.-A boycott has
been declared upon the new street rail-
way company now building fifteen miles
of new lines here by the central labor
union and by the fifteen separated or
CARNATIONS composing the union.
Thursday afternoon the stone masons,
Transfers and some of the powerhouse
men quit work and a threat is made
that the motormen will go out. Notice
has been sent to all bricklayerS' and
stonemasons' unions in the United
States warning workmen to keep away
from Wichita under threat of trouble.
The labor unions have passed resolu-
tons denouncing the street railway
management and charging that men
have been imported to do the work in
preference to home men and at a wage
scale of $1.25 per day when only $1.50 is
asked for union labor. The city has
been flooded with circulars bitterly con-
demning the new corporation as in
human and after having obtained
franchise is now willing to damn every
laborer in the city to perjury. All citi-
zenS are appealed to in the interest of
general boycott. A fine has been ordered
upon members of the labor unions who
in any way patronize the street rail-
way and it is probable that a boycott
will be ordered upon business men who
patronize the company. The member
ship of the central labor union is 1,500,
representing about 700 families.

DIED FROM AN OLD WOUND.
Emporia Man Succumbs to Injuries
Received In a Fight.

F,mporia, March SO.-W. E. Dodge
died here Thursday. He was a son of
E. E. Dodge OF Madison. According to
his physicians his death was caused by
a bruise received in January last, re-
Sulting from kick given him when he
was assaulted by a relative.
The marriage of Dodge and Miss Ger
trude Hayl of Madison took place
about five years ago. Miss Hayl got
considerable property from her parents.
More than a year ago she became sick
with consumption and made a will
which caused her property to revert to
Dodges to have thought she was leav-
ing her property to her husband, and
when she died a short time after there
were certain circumstances which
caused young Dodge to contest the will
although he knew that it would cost
him more than the property involved.
At Eureka the suit was tried and he
won it. Returning from the trial he is
said to have been assaulted at Madison
Junction by a relative of his wife.
Slanderous reports were circulated
concerning young Dodge, which his par
ents and he supposed were started by
his enemies. w. E. Dodge, realizing the
humiliation which he had placed on rel
the will contest, was in favor of drop
ping the whole affair, but his father in
sisted on the prosecution and on the
charge of assault they were arrested,
and would have been tried at the April
term of court in Eureka. Young Dodge
resided in Emporia and was regarded
as a bright young business man. He
was a member of the A. 0. U. w. and
had many friends here.

Judge Moore Has Established Legal
Status of Trough Feed

Emporia, March 30.-Judge Moore,
of the Eighth district, who is sitting for
Judge w. A. Randolph, gave his decis-
ion on the Gillett cattle case Thursday.
He decided that W. J. Brogan and Ross
Bros, of Hartford had been overpaid
for feeding but that Dan Harrington,
also of Hartford, had been underpaid
1910 Among the out-of-town lawyers
in attendance were Judge Yeager and
Judge Botsworth, of Kansas City, and
Judge Frank Brogan. of Omaha
The decision is regarded as a most
important one for cattlemen, being the
first time a Kansas court has defined
the term rough feed The judge held
that it should include such feed as hay,
cane and Kaffir corn, barring the grain
and such other stalk feed as is usually
classed as rough" The price of rough
feed was agreed upon at $1.25 and corn
at 25 cents per bushel.

TO FILE ON LAND IN PERRY.
The Scramble For Farms of Men At
fected by the Supreme Court
Decision.

Arkansas City, Kan, March SO-Several
men from this vicinity have gone to the
land office at Perry, Ok. T., to file on
farms held by men who ran from the
Chilocco reservation at the time of the
opening of the Cherokee strip. They be-
ieve they have a good chance to get
the land. Some have moved part of their
goods and implements to these claims
and intend to make legal fight to hold
them. Last night about 100 lot owners
of Newkirk, the county seat of Kay
county went to Perry to file on their
lands. In some cases where the men made
the run from Chilocco reservation they
have sent their wives to file on the land.
The wives in most cases followed the
husbands, but did not go through the In
dian land.
The present condition is the result of
the recent United States supreme court
decision affecting claims filed by men who
entered the strip from the Chilocco reser-
walton.
