JOINTS ARE STILL OPEN.
The Injunction Order in Kansas City,
Kas., Is Ign ored.

Kansas City, Kas., Aug. 1L-County
Attorney James Gibson is not finding
it very easy to close the thirty-four
Joints" against which he filed that
number of injunction suits Friday af-
ternoon. Practically all the papers
have been served. but the iointkeepers
will not close. Several of them say that
no harm will come to them by remain
ing open in violation of an order of the
court, as the county attorney is their
friend.
County Attorney Gibson still refuses
to say what were his objects in filing
the suits. but prefers, he says, to let
future developments show his reasons.
1t is now in the power of the county
attorney to file a motion in each case
asking that each joint keeper come into
court and show cause why he should
not be fined and imprisoned for violat-
ing the order of the court. If such a
motion is not filed, then the cases will
be called in their regular order some
time in October. if not sooner dis
missed. w. L. Wood, the attorney,
says if the county attorney does not file
such a motion as mentioned above then
he will do so himself

GOLD HEELS MAY RACE AGAIN.
Former Suburban Winner Shows no
Traces of Lameness.

Word comes from Lexington, KY,
that Gold Heels, the once famous
thoroughbred, will in all likelihood be
seen on the turf again next year. The
great colt was almost invincible in 1902,
winning the Suburban, Brighton ham
dicap, and Brighton cup, besides a
number of other races. He is at pres
ent at Mill Brook farm, the establish
ment of Hinde & Baker, and has shown
no lameness in recent gallops. He is to
De exercised lightly in the sulky this
fall and winter and then put in regular
training the first of next April.
In case he trains on he will be sent
after the big Worlds Fair handicap, to
oe run at St Louis in 1904. 1t is Hinde
& Bakers ambition to make Gold Heels
100000 winner. This looks remote, as
he has now only SAT, 1856 in money won
to his credit. Still, could he annex the
great st. Louis event and win another
smaller stake he would easily reach
the charmed circle of Americas great
winning horses.
No matter if he fails to race again
Hinde & Baker secured a bargain in
Gold Heels at IS, 100, as they have since
been rendered $4,000 for him. 1t is be-
lieved Milton Young made the offer,
but Hinde & Baker refuse to divulge
that information. This much the offer
has brought out, however, that the son
of The Bard is not for sale. which in

Racing at New York.

New York, Aug. 1.-THE Metropolitan
Grand circuit season opened at the
Empire City track with 5000 spectators
present, Il fast track and ideal racing
weather. In the opening event, the
2:18 pace, Funston sold at $50 to $50
to the field, but finished only a moderate
second TO the big California gelding
Mush, who won in straight heats with
speed to spare. The talent lost again
in the 2:15 trot, for which the gray
gelding Jim Ferry sold at $50 and the
field at $40. He proved to be a counter
felt, as George Muscovite took the lead
in both heats, winning by a length from
Norrie.
The 2:0s New York stake of $1,000
brought out a strong field of eleven,
Monte Carlo selling for $50 to $40 for
the field. The favorite got the best of
a flying start, led all the way. but only
won by a neck from Dan T., who came
with a great rush in the stretch. Dan
T. won the second by a fine drive in
the stretch, but broke in the third,
Monte Carlo winning by two lengths.
For the PIP pace Frank Yoakum sold
at 500 to $50 for the field. The speedy
but erratic Beauzant went off with a
rush, winning the first heat, only to be
distanced in the second, which Donna
McGregor won. In the third heat Dart
won from the mare by a neck. In the
fourth he made a bad break and Donna
McGregor won in walk.

WHY He CAN FIGHT WELL.
Philadelphians Find Out Reasons for
Little Fellows Success

Philadelphia, Aug. 1.-Those who
couldn't see last winter how Young Cor
bett managed to defeat McGovern are
having a good chance to find out now
Within the last five days the feather
weight champion has met and knocked
out two men in this city. Both victories
have been of the cleanest possible de-
scription Maynard did not stay
round O'Neil went down from one of
the most terrific punches that ever one
little man dealt another.
Yesterday local SpOrtSmen were still
talking about that one frightful wallop.
That punch would have finished any
welter weight in the business was the
way one expert put it.
Il believe it would have dropped plen-
ty of middleweights," agreed his COM
panion-
1t is hard to account for Corbett's re-
verSaI of form unless he was Stalling

Then anybody seemed able to stay with
him. Lenny, Boyle, Erne and Maynard
all went the six rounds and the cham
pion did not score one knockout Now.
his battle with McGovern over and the
need for little foxy play removed, Cor
bett returns and polishes off his oppo-
nent with the most lightning like dis
patch. 1t is not a question of condition.
He was never yet stripped down here In
anything like first-class shape
AS a general Young Corbett is proba-
bly, good deal craftier than he is us
ually given credit for. The way he
tricked O'Neil on Wednesday night was
a memorable exhibition.
Apparently the champion had not the
least intention of putting himself out OF
his way to secure a knockout he went
along coolly, content, it seemed, merely
to outDoint ONeil and get his money
as easily as possible. He even joked
with his opponent. commented on the
heat and congratulated O'Nen on his
good showing It was all with a pur-
pose-a ruse to lull suspicious
Suddenly the opportunity came. Mer-
cilessly as an executioner he flashed that
terrible right over on the longshoreman
jaw. Then he stood over him waiting to
put home one more should the fallen
man by any chance get on his feet
within the ten seconds.
The lesser lights will do well to keep
away from Corbett. He is a lion with
fox's craft. None of the champions has
any greater hold on his title than he.

CAUSED BY A RUNAWAY

lola, Kas., Aug. 11.-Miss Kate Saar
has begun suit in the district court
against the city of La Harpe and James
o. Rodgers. asking for $4,000 damages
because of injuries alleged to have been
sustained by her by reason of a run
away in La Harpe last fall. Miss Saar
and Mrs. Olmstead, mother of Miss
Olmstead, then county superintendent,
was driving through La Harpe. Their
team became frightened and ran away.

both. Miss Saar received the more Sc
we're injuries. Mrs. Olmstead was soon
able to be out. but Miss Saar was con-
fined to her bed for two months and has
never fully recovered from the injuries
then received. The accident happened
November l. 1902.
The petition recites that James o.
Rodgers. who has the franchise for
piping gas through La Harpe, had a
gas main lying partially on the ground.
1t had been. 1t says, open for some time

contact produced a grating sound that
never failed to brighten teams. AS the
wheel of their buggy struck this main
the team started to run. and in turning
a corner threw both of them out. Miss
Saar sustained injuries to the spine and
left arm. The injury to the spine pro-
duced a sort of sensory and motor
paralysis from which she has since suf-
fered severely.
She fixes the amount of her damages
as follows: Doctor bills, $50; loss of
time, $3.50; permanent injuries, $4,000:

LOVERS ODD REVENGE.
Replevins Gold Ring From Forme
Sweetheart.

Sweetheart.
On the afternoon of June 9Th a Cha
mute young man. smarting with the
pangs of unrequited love, fairly fell into
the office of Justice of the Peace Farm
er, so impatient was his haste to lay
the foundation of a sweeping revenge
upon the girl who had played him false.
This young man was w. T. Potette and.
this is the story he is reported to have
told to the Justice:
L gave Myrtle James a ring to wear
with the understanding that she could
keep 1t as long as we kept each others
company. In fact we were engaged, and
that ring was intended as a token of
our new made relations. That's what
she said, at least, and l think she got
the idea out of some novel.
L went down to her house awhile ago
and she was sitting in the parlor en-
tertaining another fellow. l told her
right there and then that she must give
up my ring. She said she didn't have
to, and when 1 insisted on my demand
being complied with she said if l didn't
get away from there she would call
policeman. Now. / don't propose to
stand for this. and I want you to issue
a writ of replevin for the ring which
that girl is wrongfully Withholding from
me-"
Judge Farmer told Potette that he
bond for $40 before he could institute
the proceedings. This Potette declined
to do. and there the matter rested until
day before yesterday, when Potette
again appeared in the Justices Office
and said he was ready to proceed to re-
cover his ring.
He Immediately placed the paper in
the hands of Constable Groome who
proceeded directly to the James home.
When he read the writ to Miss James
the young lady removed a plain gold
ring from the index finger of her right
hand and handed it over to him with
out a murmur of dissent or the faint
list suspicion of agitation in her manner.
She simply said Here's Mr.. Potette's
ring" and then she added: please wait
a moment" and stepping into an ad-
joining room she reappeared the next
moment carrying a set of beautiful furs.
Here take these to Mr.. Potette also,
she said. He gave them to me, and L
desire to be under no sense of obliga-
ton or gratitude to him whatever. -

Petty Thief Arrested by Santa Fe
Detectives for an Old Crime.


Wichita, Kan, Aug. lib. F. Fuller,
an individual for whom the county Off
GERS have been looking for over a year
was located at Goddard yesterday where
he has successfully eluded the search
for many months. Fuller was finally
captured through the persistency of the
Santa F'e and county officers. The Santa
Fe never let's a thief who steals from
them go unpublished if money and work
will bring them to justice.
On May 81, 1902. Fuller it was alleged
stole 40 pounds of packing belonging to
the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe rail-
road. When a search was made for him
he mysteriously disappeared from the
city and since that time he has been a
minus quantity in Wichita. The officers
in all nearby towns were notified and
were furnished a description of the man
but 1t appeared that he had utterly dis
appeared from the state and after a few
weeks the affair quoted down. The
county officers did not discontinue the
search however and worked on the
quiet. 1t was generally supposed that
he had left this part of the country and
the search in the immediate vicinity of
Wichita was not so thorough as over the
other parts of the state, but a few days
ago 1t was learned that man filling
the description of Fuller was living at
Goddard and after little investigation
the officers decided that he was their
man. They notified the Goddard officers
to keep watch on him and yesterday
Mr.. Hawk went to Goddard to bring
him to this city The theft is not large
but the thief made a mistake in steal
ing from a railroad company which is
determined to keep what lawfully be-
longs to them. Sheriff Schad has made
preparatio to receive Fuller and he
will be entertained in Mr.. Schad's brick
house in the court house yard until the
time for his hearing.
