HOW HE GOT EVEN.
Case of Summary Injustice That
Worked Both Ways

The experience of Sheriff Brooks of
Fort Scott, who was thrown in Jail in
Webb City, Missouri, on a trumpet up
charge of kidnapping when he attempted
to arrest a foot-race bunco-steerer and
bring him back into Kansas is RESPONSE
BILE for a "Reminiscences of a similar char
acter. Henry Bell, man-of-all- for
Eugene Ware, was the victim. This is
the story of how Bell got even: Henry
Bell was something of a cOlored poll
tician in Fort Scott before he came to
Topeka. He was elected constable. Bell
went over the state line into Missouri
term of office The peace officers down
there on the border would work to-
gether, generally, avoiding acquisitions.
But when Bell went over the line for
prisoner one day, the Missouri officers
revolted. They may have been friendly
to the prisoner or they may have been
inspired to draw the color line on the
invading officer. AT any rate Bell was
thrown into jail on a trumpet up charge
and kept there over night. The next
morning he was called up before the
probate judge. The prosecuting attor-
ney pressed a trial, Bell was convicted
and a sentence imposed on him After
they had kept him in jail couple of
days they tired of the game. The sheriff
sent a note to the jailer: Let that

out and went home, but he was boiling.
He determined to get even. He waited
for the Missourians to come to Fort
Scott. They came frequently on bust
ness. And they carried revolvers
rule. Bell planned to yank them up for
carrying concealed deadly weapons.
First came the probate judge, not long
after. Bell was around the depot and
promptly hauled him before a magis-
trate. Sure enough he had a pill-box in
his pocket and the magistrate fined him,
or, as Henry put it, found him twenty
five dollahs." The sheriff came along
next and he was found" 80. A deputy

TIGERS REFUSED TO PLAY.
Warrensburg Normal and M. s. q. in
6ouabbIe at Jefferson CITY.

Jefferson City, Oct 22.-The game be-
tween the football teams of the Uni
versity of Missouri and the Warrens-
burg Normal, which was to be played
at College Place park, in jefferson City,
Monday afternoon, broke up in row
before the kickoff. Both teams were on
the field in uniform and there were 1000
people in the grand stand, on the
bleachers and along the side lines, en-
thusiastic to witness the game. The
trouble arose over the playing of two
men on the Warrensburg team, who
were challenged by the team from Col
umbia, while a protest had already been
filed by the normal school boys against
three of the university team, men who
were claimed to be ineligible to play.
According to the agreement when the
game was scheduled. the lists of the
names of the players of both teams who
were to compete were to be in the
hands of the opposing teams five days
before the game took place.
The lineup of the normal team includ-
ed Ferguson and Quigley, the former
being the athletic director and the latter
the coach of the team The lineup of
the university team included Ellis, Fra
zier and Bennett, against whom the
WarrenSburg team filed protests. The
university team failed to file it's pro-
tests against Quigley and Ferguson I'M
til two days ago, when, according to the
agreement, the protest should have
DCSA Ll1Qc ANt QdSS dkO. Inc w ar
rensburg team did not file its protest
until Monday, the manager holding
that he had as much right to file then
as did the manager of the university
team two days ago. when the agree
ment was that all protests should be
made five days ago.
The managers of the two teams and
the coaches got together at noon before
the game and endeavored to adjust
matters. but both sides refused to yield
an inch, holding that the other team
was in the wrong. Both arrangements
said that the other team filed it's pro-
tests too late and that they would play
according to the lineup. When time was
called for the kickoff to begin the game.
Coach Murphy called his team off the
field and refused to permit them to play
unless Ferguson and Quigley were ia
ken out of the Warrensburg team The
Warrensburg team refused to do this
but said that they would cOmprOn Use
the matter by taking off one man. pro-
vided the university team did the same
or they would play provided all the pro-
tested men were barred. or would play
with all of the protested men in the
game. The university team refused to
compromise and would not go back on
the field unless their wants were ac-
ceded to. After an hour of Squabbling
the university team filed out of the gate
and went back to their rooms to dress.
The normals put their second team on
the field and played an exhibition game
for the spectators. The sympathy of
the crowd was decidedly with the War
rensburg normal team. who showed q
willingness to play on any plan, while
the university team was hooted as it

and one-half lots on Fillmore and five
on Western avenue, as her share, and
made a contract, signed by both par
ties, that Mr.. Campbell should sell them

Ottawa, Kan, Oct. 22.-The Kansas
City Dentals were defeated here Mon
day afternoon by the Ottawa eleven by
a score of 40 to 0. The game was a fast
one, but too one-sided to be interest
ing. The Dentists were outplayed and
outclassed at every point Coach Tuck
er said that he played 16 men. Tucker
was on the field. and after a few min
utes' play donned his gear and said he
was going into the game. Ottawa pro
tested and threatened to leave the field
if Tucker went into the game. The
Athletic Association officers informed
him the game was off if he played, and
he stayed out. The mercury stood at Sc,
and the players were wet with perpira-
ton after the first half. The crowd was
not large.
There was very little betting, and
m oney went begging at two to one that
the Dentals would not score. House,

broken in the last half. The features of
the game were the continuous gains
made by the Baptists. King and Baugh-

long runs.
