Electric Line Discouraged.

The proposed inter-urban electric
railway between lola and Chanute,
which was planned by capitalists OF
the two towns and which would have
been built If properly encouraged,
seems to have been allowed to die.
The first work on the line was the Sc
curing OF a franchise and right-of-
way, and the city of Chanute was ask
ed first. The council hemmed and
hawed and made conditions which
made the project hazardous, One of
the ideas of Chanute was that the CON-
pana should built It's line and then
agree that any other line building in
to town might use its tracks in the
city. When the company found that
Chanute took such strange view of
the proposition it decided that Neosho
county would probably be equally diff,
fident and the project has been aban-
doned for the present at least. 1t is
too bad, for the line would have been
q great convenience.

CRADDOCKS % RIGHT CLUB
Promises Concerning Tom Drummy
do not Seem to Have Been
Worth Very Much.

The shibboleth of the campaign of
the Democratic candidate for Cover
nor, Mayor w. H. Craddock, of Kan
sas City, Kansas, has been "Do
Right" He processes to be organiz-
ing 'Do Right" Clubs over the state,
with the expectation that when you
get right you will vote for him. 1t is a
great joke.
Up in Kansas City is baseball
pitcher named Tom Drummy, believed
to he an expert. Many have sought
him in vain. He was appointed to the
fire department and made chief by
Mayor Craddock. TO obtain this Tom
promised not to ask to get away to
play ball when the weather got warm.
Some weeks ago lola began working
on plan to secure Tom a vacation so
he could come here and play. Mayor
Craddock was sought in the matter
and when he understood fully prom
ised Chris. Ritter and John Goshorn,
local fusion politicians, that Tom
should be allowed to get off and come
to lola. Mr.. Craddock came very
near telegraphing him to come then,
but decided to wait and see Tom. He
waited and saw Tom. Then he said
that Tom could not get away until the
middle of August at which time he
was surely to come to lola for the
rest of the season. Mr.. thinner,
Craddock's right-hand man, promised
the same.
But after lola had worked the
scheme to secure Tom an outing, after
Craddock and thinner had earnestly
assured lola men that Tom should
come here and here alone, Tuesdays

good.

Dogs Strike a Trail.

~Covington, Wasl., July II, 1915 p.
m.-Tha posse in charge of ex-Sher-
if Jim W'oolery, has just arrived here.
The freight was halted a mile west
of the station and three hounds liber-
ated to make the attempt of picking
UP the scent from where the battle
of last night occurred. The two pris-
on hounds and the new dog went right
to work, but it vas some time before
they gave cry. They worked through
the long railroad cut to the station
and when opposite the telegraph office
picked up a scent that sent them off
towards the creek. @
However, it was believed they were
on the wrong scent as the point had
been almost continuously under the
eye of the guard all night. The dogs
worked on up the creek and within
half an hour afterward were a mile
up the railroad track in the direction
of Palmer. Sheriff Zimmerman wir-
ed progress to Sheriff Cudihee at 9:40,
informing him of the work of the dogs
and ALSO of the rather doubtful hope
that the dogs would be able to get on
a fresh scent very shortly.

EUGENE MoHL FIGHTS DEATH
ALONE AND uNAlpEp.
ACCIDENT OCCURRED JULY 3
Body Discovered July Tone Horse
Also Met His
Death.
From Saturdays Daily Gazette.

From Saturdays Daily Gazette.
George Handel, the merchant at
Musselshell Crossing, who arrived in
the city this morning, reports the
drowning of Eugene Mohl, an employee
of the N-bar Cattle company, on the
Sd inst.
Mohl was driving a camp wagon
from n of the company's ranches to
another ranch some distance east and
was entirely alone. In attempting to
cross the Musselshell river at Breed
crossing, a point east of the Handel
crossing, his team got into deep water
and it is supposed Mohl jumped from
the wagon and attempted to swim out.
The road where the tragedy took
place is a rather unfrequented one
and the fact of the drowning of Mohl
was not discovered until the 7th when
some men found the outfit. One horse
had been drowned and the remaining
animal had pulled his dead mate out
of the water and was standing at his
side on the bank of the stream. Search
was at one instituted for the body
of the driver and it was found a short
distance down the stream.
Mohl came to Montana from st.
Louis about 1S months ago and has
been constantly in the employ of the
N-bar company. He vas a nephew
of Charles Andrews, a well-known
cattleman of the Musselshell country.
He was a very exemplary young man
and had made many friends in the
neighborhood.

Missoula, July 10.-E. L. Bonner,
one of Montana's best-known pioneers
and wealthiest citizens, died very
suddenly while out riding in his auto
mobile, His death was due to heart
trouble, the attack coming on very
suddenly. Although Mr.. Bonner has
been aware for the past year that his
heart was in a very bad condition,
and that he might pass away sudden

as we'll as usual the past few days,
and spent all of Wednesday riding
in his automobile with Professor FL
rod, and other friends and yesterday
morning was out again with his ma
chine enjoying a ride.
He evidently felt an attack coming
on, as he stopped at the residence of
Professor Elrod a few minutes before
his death, and getting out sat down
and chatted with Mrs. Elrod for a
few moments, remarking that he was
feeling very poorly. and did not feel
like riding any further. He soon re-
covered his normal condition, how
ever, and started home in his auto
mobile. Just as he reached the cor
ner of his property, in South Missoula,
he was noticed by Mrs. Wilkinson,
who was out driving and met him,
to seemingly tip slightly backward,
and then fall over forward on the
guiding bar of the automobile caus-
ing the machine to cramp, and just
then he toppled over off the vehicle
dead.

BIG ONES TRAINING HARD.
F~itzsimmons Declines to Change
Training Quarters.

San Francisco, July 11.-Robert
f1tzsimmons announced yesterday
that he would not change his training
quarters. He is too well pleased with
Skaggs to leave until the day before
the big fight, and as a result the San
Francisco club management is disap-
pointed. Alex Greggains will make
a flying trip to the springs this week
to use his personal arguments to make
the Cornishman change his mind.
The club is not worrying over Jeffries,
as the latter has signified his intention
of finishing the last week at the Oak
land Reliance club.
An invitation has been extended
Fftzsimmons by the people of Santa
Rosa to come down there and UNI
pire a ball game and also box. In all
probability Fitz will make the trip and
take Griffith, Wilson and Dawson
along with him to give a fast exhibit
ton. Fitz is worried over Soldier
VAAooA. 1dCCSl > leave VI e dD-
sence has nearly expired and he may
have to return to army life before
the training is finished.
Jeffries has changed his hours of
work. It was extremely warm at Har-
bin today and the big fellow did not
go out until after noon. He then ran
to Middleton, three and a half miles
away, and made it in less than rs
minutes.
He perspired freely and on his re-
turn was given a good rundown. Be-
fore dinner Jeffries put on the gloves
with Kennedy. tackled the rowing ma
chine, skipped the rope a few thou
sand times, and after another mas:
sage ate a hearty lunch. He is feeling
stronger than ever, he says, and is
as playful as a schoolboy.
The work OF the big amphitheater,
at the corner of Fourteenth and Va
lencia streets, is progressing nicely.
By Monday next it will be in shape
to photograph. and the scantlings will
