FIGHT THE BELL PHONES.
Fierce War Raging at Ottawa Be-
tween Local Comnauies

Ottawa, Kan, Aug. GA fierce war is
raging here between the Bell Telephone
company and the Ottawa Telephone COM
pany. Up to about four years ago, the
Bell people had the field here. The rates
were thought to be exorbitant, conse-
Quently only about forty families had
phones. The Ottawa Telephone company
got q franchise, selling office phones for
81 per month. The company is COM
81 per month and residence phones for
posed of local men and Frank L Brown
and Joe Carey of Garrett. The Bell COM
pany cut its rates but has not increased
its service materially until the past
month"; when some shrewd solicitors have
added several hundred phones to it's list.
Its employees succeeded in getting several
of the local phone patrons to change
their phones.
Frank L. Brown appeared on the scene
a few days ago and things began to Earm
up. It was through his efforts that the
butchers combined and ordered their Bell
phones out. The Bell people attempted
to put the phone back, but most of the
butchers stood pat. A. meeting was
called last night Of a number Of business
men when the war was discussed The
meeting resulted in the appointment of
fifteen merchants to make a canvass of
the town and use what persuasive powers
they have to get the people to take out
the Bell phone.

A RAZOR IN HIS HAND.

lola, Aug. Ct F. Kirby shot and
killed his son, j. l.. Kirby, last evening.
After the shooting the father ran home
and was soon arrested and lodged in
jail. There was no witness to the shoot
ing except another son and all the par
ties refuse to discuss It, The Kirbys
came here about month ago from Ell
Dorado, and opened a drug and jewelry
store. They have been enjoying a good
trade and the business was prospecting.
The father owned the store and the two
sons were working for him.
During the afternoon the son who was
shot began drinking and when he came
into the store after supper, began abus-
ing the father and brother. This trou-
bic was settled amicably and the son
started to sweep out the store. He had
finished and was standing at side door
on prominent street. Suddenly the
father shot through the screen and the
boy fell to the pavement. The bullet
passed through the temple Death was
instantaneous. In the dead mans hand
was found an open razor. Immediately
after the shooting the father stepped
outside the rear door and went to his
home, where he was arrested. He made
no effort to escape. The father refused
to discuss the shooting further than to
say that he shot in self-defense He
said his son started to attack him with
a razor and that he shot to protect him
trouble between father and SON for a
long time
The boy had been given to hard drink
ing of late years and in addition was a
confirmed user of cocaine. Twice be-
fore they have had trouble, but moth
ing of a serious nature. The family was
engaged in the drug business in Ell
Dorado. The murdered son left a wife
and one child. A coroner's jury has
been summoned to investigate the case.

WGovERN IS FAVORED.
Made Better Showing With Broad
Than Did Corbett.

New London, Conn, Aug. 6.-Since
November 2S of last year. when Corbett
succeeded in knocking out McGovern in
two rounds and thus attaining the title
of feather weight champion, the Denver
boxer has engaged in only one contest
and that was with Kid Broad, ateDen-
yer. which resulted in shade decision
for the champion The result of this
contest has had considerable to do with
McGovern being favorite in the ap-
preaching battle. Nearly every shrewd
critic picks McGoyern to win and prin-
cipally upon the showing made by Cor
bett against Broad. The latter gave
him a fierce argument for ten rounds
and only lost by the closest kind of
margin.
McGovern beat Broad at standstill
in six rounds in this city when the
Clevelander was much better man
than when he faced Corbett, and on
feather weight championship battle is
figured.

Lord Derby is Scheduled For
Another Big Race
In a Wagon Contest at Yonkers
Track Saturday.
TWO OTHER FAST ONES.

or Lucille Named.
Lord Derby and The Abbot to
Contest August IA.
TWO OTHER FAST ONES.

New York, Aug. &c. E. Smathers.
owner of Lord Derby (2:062), announces
that he has decided to withdraw the
winner of the SAC, 900 match race at Hart
ford from his grand circuit engagement
at Buffalo this week and drive the horse
himself in a race to wagon, with blue
ribbon for the prize, at Empire City
park next Saturday
The New York Driving club of which
Mr.. SmatherS is a member, will hold its
fifth meeting at the Yonkers track at
that time, and in order to make the oc-
casion a memorable one he has agreed
to drive Lord Derby against G. K G.
Billings Louise Jefferson, the mare that
pulled a wagon at Cleveland in 2:0S1a
fortnight ago, and against Fred Ger
ken'S great trotter The Monk (2:OSA)
and any other horses of free-for-all
class that want to come into the con-
test.
Mr.. Billings has consented to drive
either Louise Jefferson or the champion
wagon trotter Lucille (2:07. Mr.. Ger
ken could not be seen today, but as ne
is one of the officers of the club and an
enthusiastic amateur reinsman, it is not
doubted that he will make a great race
possible by starting The Monk.
Lord Derby's race against The Abbot
(2:0314) for purse of $4,000 will take
place Thursday, August 18th, the fourth
Brighton Beach. IT have offered to bet
$4,000 against $4,000 that Derby will
Win." said Mr. Smathers. Derby's own
er, today, land I will be in the ring on
the day of the race, ready to take a lot
of it at those odds"
Il believe Lord Derby can turn the
Brighton track in POS, and we know he
can trot all day. The Abbot may beat
him a heat or two. but just watch my
horse when it comes to the third heat.
Geers is afraid of him. I know this
from the way he talked at Hartford
after driving Lord Derby an eacy mile
in 2:0S."
Speaking of the Hartford race, Mr..
Smathers said his winning apart from
the main stakes of $4,000 a. side, were
not large. He said the widely circulated
report that he and Mr.. Lawson had
wagered $4,000 on the side was untrue
The stakes were $4,000 a side, and there
was no other bet between them. The
winner took all, together with sixty per
cent of the gate receipts, which he es-
timated at $4,000.
