IN FAVOR OF ROOT.
Fighter Given Decision Over
Carter in Sixth Round.

Chicago, Oct. 2S.-Jack Root of Chi
cago. was given the decision over Kid
Carter of Brooklyn, at the end of six
rounds last night. The fight was one
Of the fastest between big men that has
taken place in this city in several years
In the first and second rounds Root
kept up a succession of left jabss now
and then sending.in a short right hook
which invariably landed on Cagter's
jaw. Garter was unable to hit Root
with any effect and at the end of the
second round, when Garter went TO his
corner in a groggy condition, it looked
as though the fight would not last the
limit of six rounds. In the third and
fourth rounds however, Carter came
back strongly and had the better of it.
particularly in the third roundS when
he sent in a number of right swings
that caught Root on the jaw and neck.
In the fifth round Root resumed the
lead he had won in the earlier part Of
the fight and hammered Carter all over
the ring. The sixth round was even
more in favor of Root and Carter was
in a bad way when the round ended.
He was bleeding from the nose and from
a bad cut over. the left eye and was
weakening rapidly. He could hardly
have lasted through one more round 3

St. Marzs 10: Eskridge 10.

Eskridge. Kas.. Oct 2S.-The St
Marys football team met the Eskridge
team on the home field Monday and
after some very hard work left the
score a tie. The result was close, both
teams showing up well in the beginning.
St. Marys displayed good team work
but the home team was too heavy.
The game showed very little loose
playing, only three thirty-five yard
gains being made. st. Marys did some
nice work in the first half, but the con-
tinued end bucking by the home team
weakened them in the last half, and
kept them in their own territory during
the last 10 minutes play.

WEED AND HEDGE Law
Monopolizes the Interest in the Elec-
ton in Harvey County.

Newton, Kas.. Oct. 2S.-The voters of
Harvey county, at the next election
will be called upon to decide whether or
not the provisions of the weed and
hedge law passed by the fusion legisla
iture of 1897 shall he enforced in the
county. This law, which compels prop
erty owners to cut the weeds and trim
the hedges in front of their properties
applies only to counties in which it is
adopted by majority of the voters at d
general election.
The question is submitted by the
county commissioners upon a petition
from two-thirds of the members of the
township boards Much opposition to
the measure has developed and it is al
most certain to be defeated. The farm
ers' contend that the hedges are bene-
ficial affording protection to stock and
orchards. 1t is asserted that the ben
efits resulting from the enforcement of
the law would not be commensurate with
the heavy cost which would be entailed
on every farmer to cut down the hedges
and keep them properly trimmed.

COMPARISON OF BIG TEAMS.
Yale Regarded Better Than Harvard
at Present.

New York, Oct 2s-With the big
games so near IT hand the critical
period of the training OF the big eastern
college football teams has come, and it
should soon be. possible to get some
sort of a line on their relative strength.
There is no good basis, for prediction on
the. football scores already made, and
it is not safe to say that because Har-i
ward made only to o. against Brown,
Harvard has team greatly inferior to
that of last year, when the cronson
scored IS to 0 against Brown.
Nor does it follow that because Yale
beat Brown 10 to 0+two weeks ago the
blue will have an easy time against the
crimson. Brown went to Cambridge
prepared to play the most desperate
game of the season, and the fact is that
while the Providence men Kept Harvard
from running UP a big score, Brown did
not once get within striking distance of
the Harvard goal line.
Theoretically, therefor, Harvard
played cutie as good as did Yale two
weeks ago But theories do not win
football games, ana no one knows this
better tran the coaches. Harvard's
faults Saturday were fumbling, high
tackling and failure to gain distance
by line bucking. These faults have now
to be corrected.
Yale's victory over Syracuse of "a to
10 is not as great as it should have
been, according to opinion of experts
here. a team that beat Brown 10 to 0
SHOuiu nave run away from syracuse
and a a to 0 score is not an over
whelming one under the circumstances
The fact seems to be that Harvard is
improving more consistently than Yale
Two weeks ago Brown. playing as she
did against Yale, would at least have
scored if not won from Harvard.
Yale, however, today has a team I'M
ques tionably superior in nearly every
respect to Harvard'ss and if the New
Haven coaches improve the time re-
naming before the great game, as they
of course will. Harvard is likely to be
defeated.
The Yale-Princeton game is likely to
be hard battle, for Princeton is show
ing much of tire same consistent i'm
provement that is apparent at Cam
bridge. However, Yale should win.
OF the Harvard Pennsylvania game
there is not great doubt On the face of
Pennsylvania's showing thus far Har-
ward ought to win easily, but Captain
Barry of the Brown team. who has
played against both Harvard and Penn
sylvania, told the Cambridge coaches
that Harvard would not win easily.
The practice of the coming week, and
the games scheduled for next Saturday

/ bable outcome of the so-called big

Mcpherson County Girls Submit

Skin Taken From the Arm of
Fifteen of Them. 4
OPERATION A. SUCCESS.
Grated on the Leg of an Injured
Young Man.
Each Young Lady Supplied Five
Narrow Strips.

Sylvia, Kas., Oct. 2S.-A young man
by the name of Brownlee, a nephew OF
Archie Brownlee, who owns Brownlee's
lake, a favorit picnic resort, well
known to Hutchinson people, was re-
Gently very severely injured. His leg
was caught in the cogs of a machine
he was. operating and the flesh all torn
away from the bone, which was broken
above and below the knee. Surgeons
set the bone and arranged the flesh
back on the bones as best they could
But the flesh refused TO heal There
was no skin to- hold it in place and
there was no way for it to heal. DR..
Bauer of Sylvia, who was attending the
case according to Mr.. Wyman, decided
that 1t would be necessary to graft some
skin over the wound to make it heal.
This is an operation that has been per-
formed successfully many times, but in
this case a great quantity of skin was
required 1t was decided that seventy
pieces from quarter inch to half
inch wide and two inches long would
be- needed to perform the operation
properly. The question arose, where
was this skin to come from.
The doctor hit upon a scheme. A
picnic was scheduled for Brownlee's
lake. He would ask the girls who at
tended to bare their arms and permit
him to cut the strips of skin needed
from them. If there were not enough
then the boys would be called upon to
supply the deficiency. But girls skin
was preferable as it was more delicate
and would grow faster and better.
[ The picnic was pulled off on schedule
time and the doctor made known his de
sire. The girls responded readily, regard
ing it as somewhat of a novelty. From
each girls arm was taken five mario "
strips of skin about two inches long 1t
made the girls squirm little and one or
two less heroic than the rest cried out.
But none faltered once after she had barred
her arm to the knife. 1t is even said there
were more girls ready to submit to the
ordeal if necessary
The strips Of skin were taken and sewed
on to the boys leg at intervals of about
a quarter of an inch apart. They imme-
diately began to grow together and it is
stated that the wounded leg is now entire
ly covered with skin and that the young
man will get well. The small wounds left
in each girls arm readily healed and the
skin has grown together over the cut,
leaving no scar whatever.
