Hold Inter Club
Tourney?
Plan Proposed by an
Akron Athlete.
Otto Sieloff Knocked Out In One
Round.

II has been suggested by a promi-
ncnt local athlete that the various
clubs in the city get together and hold
an inter-club athletic tournament.
Out OF the half dozen clubs now be-
ing successfully conducted in the city,
there are many athletes and sports
in nearly every branch of athletics,
who would gladly be backed by their
clubs, IN case such tournament could
be arranged. There are fast skaters
galore. Bowlcrs with high scores arc
common in all the clubs. Basket ball
players there are in large numbers.
Pool players are numerous, ard IN
every branch, either of indoor sports
or the outdoor varieties of winter
sports there are numbers of young
men of ability, who would bc glad &c
enter such tournament, If one could
be arranged
The project was suggested by the
fact that four of the clubs in the city
will unite in n short time for the pur
pose of promoting an athletic enter
talnmcnt at the Grand Opera house.
The best of local talent will appeal
Mt this show. and all OF the performer,
will be members of some Akron Ath
letlc club.

But stops just in Time.
Fred Vytlas had a narrow escape

Fred Vytlas had a narrow escape Sun
day afternoon from being run over by a
car truck and came of with a slight
scalp wound.
Fred was UP town Sunday in his sfx
ups with his wife and children TO get
their pictures taken. He looked as
though he might be the geDeralmsnager
Of the Rock Island system" in other
words, he was nicely and tastefully
dressed.
Fred has worked for the Rock Island
company for over - years as general
utility man, and what not, and is always
a patient, painstaking and faithful en-
ployee. He was up town IN his best at
tire as aforesaid when a caller sum
mOned him to report as the work or
wreckiDg train was ordered out. 1t
stood on a stub to the east Of the round
house, where rails and ties had been re-
Gently put down.
Fred fastened home to put on his
work clothes and reported promptly. An
engine was backed up and attached to
cars to adjust a camel back" or a tenn
pOrary switch, or something Of that sort,
when the conductor gave the signal to
1gO ahead" Fred gave a dart to get
out and came in collision with the step
Of the car which inflicted a severe scalp
wound.
The conductor saw his predicament
and gave the signal to stop the train
and the life and limb of the faithful
'factotum" was saved from further in
jury. He remarked that it was a good
thing he had his picture taken when he
did as it would be some time before he
would again be in shape to have it tax
en-.
He was at his post cleaning lamps in
the oil house when seen by our reporter
Tuesday, but had a bsndsge around his
head, and his face and hands smeared
with black as usual. Everybody likes
Fred and Is glad Of his escape.

BURNS TO THE GROUND.
Big Barn OF ,. P. johnson Destroyed Early
Tuesday 1IOrning-Was Insured
Narrow Escape OF Guy johnson
Fire started In the bic red barn

Fire started IN the big red barn Of J..
P. johnson, six miles west Of GoOdlsnd,
between two and three o'clock Tuesday
morning and burned it to the ground.
Guy johnson was sleeping IN the barn
and narrowly escaped. The building
was insured for 500. The barn was
valued at $1,000. Origin Of the FIRE is
unknown.
Between two and three o'clock Tues
day morning Guy Johnson, who had
been sleeping IN the loft, was suddenly
awakened by fumes Of smoke and in
tense heat. The north end Of the barn
was already burning fast ana before he
could throw the bedding from a door in
the south end and jump the fire blister
ed his face.
He gave the alarm to those sleeping
in the house near by, but assistance was
useless. OF number of things in the
barn only a farm wagon was saved.
Two sets Of harness, a saddle and other
things were burned.
The barn was combined with a large
windmill, grinder, feed cutter and an
500 barrel tank, which was partly filed
with water and as this was surrounded
by flames when discovered there was no
way of fighting the flames. The barn
was 3Ox4O IN size and was protected by
800 in the Farmers Alliance Insurance
company Of Mcpherson Kan. Mr.JOhn-
son said he valued the barn at $1,000. 1t
was advertised to be sold with cattle
and farm implements on October 8, as
Mr.. johnson has planned to sell out. He
said fire started in the barn two years
ago but as the air was still and the FIRE
had got little start, it was extinguished
before doing great damage. He could
not account for the origin OF the FIRE
Tuesday. His son retired at the usual
time; the lantern was safely put out and
how the fire should have started is IN
known

SNAKE GAVE NO WARNING.
Little Bessie VanWinkIe Bitten on Bare
Leg by MISUNDERSTANDING
from the Poison.

Last week while little Bessie Van
Wrinkle, the f1ve-year-old daughter of L.
E. Wrinkle, who lives q miles north
west of GOodland, was running about
barefooted on the prairie adjacent to the
house, she unknowiDgly stepped upon
a sluggish rattlesnake which started
from its torpor and without warning
struck its fangs into the bare leg Of the
child below the knee.
The child ran to her mother with the
frightening news and the horrible proof
of blood OOzing from the wounds. Sim
pie remedies at hand were applied and
DR.. baker, of Jaqua, summoned. Al
though little Bessie suffered much pain
from the poison the swelling is going
down and the black color of the flesh is
giving way to that Of health. During
this time of year the rattlesnake be
comes sluggish and is getting ready for
his winter sleep.
