inch and half to the right of the nip

fourth and fifth ribs to the left of the
heart and through the lung. This wound
was made by Ed himself. The powder
marks are visible on the skin. Death
was caused by hemorrhages, and the
man suffered untold agony to the last
breath Another wound found on his
body was on the same side, about an
inch from the left nipple, but the bull
let struck the fourth rib, passed under
the skin and did no damage. Both bull
lets found in Ed were 80 caliber, and, in
the opinion of the doctors who held the
autopsy, there is no doubt that he killed
himself"
After the autopsy the bodies of the
Biddles were taken in charge by I'm

prepared them for burial.

Twenty Dozen Quail Taken
From Wells Fargo Co.
Birds Being Shipped Unlawfully
From State.
LIABLE TO $1,000 FINE,
Matter to Be Brought Before
Grand Jury at Wichita.
Express Company Equally Guilty
With the Shipper.

Wichita, Feb. 3.-Detective Harry Sutton
of the local police force, who is also
game warden under the new law passed
by the last legislature, seized a shipment
of quail at the Santa F'e depot Saturday.
The birds were in the possession of the
Wells-Fargo Express company and the To-
cal agent of the company refused for a
long time to give them up. The shipment
contained about 20 dozen birds and was
billed to T. J. Kelly & Co., St. Louis. 1t
was shipped from Cunningham, Kan The
express company officials deny all knowl-
edge of the shipment and say they do not
know the shippers name. The birds were
taken to the police station and will proba-
bly, be distributed among the hospitals of
the city
Under the law the shipper is liable to
fine ranging anywhere from $500 to 1900.
While his name is at present unknown the
local officers say they will have no diff
Guilty in experimenting him. Just what PEN
atty will be attached to the express COM
pany is not known, but under the law it
is equally as liable the shipper
The matter will be brought before the
United States grand jury and indict-
ments will probably be returned against
the offenders at it's next session.

Kansas welterweight pugilist, is in
great dem and among the clubs of the
country. His manager, Jack Hanley,
received an offer yesterday from Mar
tin Julian's club in Philadelphia for a
meeting there February with George
McFadden, the New York fighter. As
Ferns left for Portland, Ore. last night
to fight February 20 with Tommy Ira
cey, the offer could not be accepted.
''McFadden has disappointed US at
least four times now. and 1 guess he
does not want to fight anything like
Ferns" said HanTey. "A lot of match
makers all over the country have been
anxious to get Ferns and McFadden to-
gether, but all efforts have failed so
far. There is no money in Philadelphia,
anyway. Ferns will be ready for any
body at 142 to 1853 pounds when he re-
turns Charley Burns preferred"

Haskell Defeats x. IL.

Lawrence. Kas., Feb. s.-The Haskell
Indian five won rather easily from the
University of Kansas five at basket
ball Saturday night by the score of
81 to 8. The game was a very rough
one, and many fouls were called on
both sides. The superior weight of the
redmen made them the gamers by
rough play. The Kansans were handi-
capped by the absence of their regular
center, Atkinson. and this was in a
measure accountable for their poor
showing. Both teams played fast ball
and some very creditable team work
was seen. Don Afford made six free
throws out of eight trials for K U. Joe
Afford and Owens We're the stars of
the Kansas team. while Falls and
Oliver did HaskelPS best work.

recommended the increase of the month

was acquiesced in by the council to the
extent that City Attorney Keith was
instructed to draw an ordinance re-
pealing the $50 fine and leaving the
space blank" where the new amount,
to be fixed by the council, should be put
in. In other words the fine will be
raised but no one knows just how much
until the council decides. The present
ordinance makes the minimum fine $50
and maximum $50. 1t has always been
