rived at Mrs. Applebee's that night
with heart like lead, bound to plead
my friends cause with the girl loved

Standish. Something in the droop OF
Miss Lorrington's regal head gave me
sudden courage. I bent down until my
eyes met hers, and in them I read, az

ELEVEN DOVES FOR $50.
Two Wichita Sportsmen Did Some
Costly Hunting Sunday.

Two Wichita sportsmen paid dearly for
a little experience Sunday They killed
eleven doves and it only cost them $50 to
learn that this isn't the season in which
to kill doves They drove out in the
country for little recreation Sunday and
when a dove would sit temptingly on a
fence along the road it was more than
they could resist. They were successful,
too, and were slaughtering birds fast
when they were stopped by farmer near
Greenwich. They told him that they
were after plover but he replied that it
was his opinion that plover would sell
dom be found on wire fences along the
travelled road and asked II they had
any objections to his going through their
rig. When he found the doves he informed
them that he was constable and placed
them under arrest. They were brought
before a justice OF the peace and fined
twenty-five dollars apiece. AS they did
not have the cash they left their guns
as security. and returned TO their homes
in Wichita sadder and wiser men. The
people near Greenwich claim that the
new game law has been violated right
along by sportsmen from this city and
they wished TO make an example Of the
men they caught Sunday. According TO
the new game law the season for shooting
doves does not open till August /

BASEBALL TODAY.
Reorganized Wichita Team Plays
South Haven at Fair Grounds.

The re-organized Wichita Baseball
club, under the management of Quigg &
Marcum, will cross bats with South Ha-
ven, today, Wednesday and Thursday.
The South Haven team has been de-
feating all the teams they played with
this season. They have secured some
new players from Oklahoma and should
be able TO make matters decidedly inter
esting for the now strong Wichita aggre-
cation. The team that represented Wich-
ita at the fair grounds is about what
the lovers of baseball in Wichita want.
They play the game and will undoubted-
ly draw the crowds that their playing
merits.
In a conversation last evening with
an Eagle reporter Manager Quigg Of the
local team said: 4 lave a team now that
can defeat any club in this part Of the
country in a series of games, and the
polls are open to all Corners. Consid-
cradle difficulty was experienced in get
ting the kind Of talent that the CONNER
cial and business interests of this city
require, but now that Wichita has
team that all can applaud, it is the duty
of every fan to attend all the games.
In the near future a subscription list
will be circulated for the clubs main
tenance and equipment. A good bali club
is an excellent advertisement and will
more than pay those who assist it
The following will be the batting order
of the Wichita team In today's game:
Wooliver, Howell, Thompson, White.
Huffman, Jackman, Marcum, Bevis, VIII

a good street car service win prevail.

MUST PLANK BRIDGES
Many Bridges Damaged by
Negligent ThresherS.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
Yearly Damage Amounts to
500 Per Township.

County Attorney Eckstein yesterday
got out another warrant for a party
who propelled a threshing engine across
a bridge without first planking it This
is the third time since the threshing
season commenced that arrests have been
made for the same offense, and the mat
ter IS becoming so serious that the COM
missicners have taken steps to put
stop to IT. Every year large number of
bridges are either broken down or seri
ously damaged through negligence on
the part of those in charge of the en-
gines and as there is a law TO prohibit
it the commissioners state that they viii
enforce it.
This law has been in effect for several
years, but it has never until this year
been enforced, and has been ignored by
threshers. The trustees of Attica town
ship state that last year it cost the coun-
ty 500 to repair the damage done 10
bridge by threshing engines in that
township and the trustees of Wichita
township come with similar amount

county and if the damage in every town
ship were as great as that in Attica and
Wichita townships it is easy to see that
the county would be put to $3.50 unnec-
essary expense. The commissioners took
up the matter yesterday and adopted the
following resolution:
Resolved, That fhe township trustees
of each of the townships in Sedgwick
county, Kansas, be and are hereby re-
quested to file or cause to be filed with
the county attorney complaint against
any and all persons owning, controlling.
operating or managing steam threshing
machines, moving the same over any
bridge or culvert without laying plank
at least one foot wide and three inches
thick. for the wheels of said engine to
run upon while said engine is crossing
said bridge or culvert, and that the coun-
~ clerk be directed to forward a copy
of this resolution to each township trus-
tee in said county,
