Ground Squirrels and GOphers
Are Hunted.
LeavenWOrth County Residents
Making Pin Money.
A BOUNTY OF Is CENTS.
One Township Turns in Nearly
200 Scalps.
New State Law the Cause of the
Scramble.
A BOUNTY OF Is CENTS.

Leavenworth Kas., July 30 The
farmers in Kickapoo township have hit
upon a plan to raise money while work
on the farms is slack by killing ground
squirrels and gophers.
The recent legislature passed a law
giving to the person who kills either
a gray ground squirrel or a gopher
Is cents for the scalp providing it is
turned over to the township trustee.
The residents of Kickapoo township
were the first to go to work looking
for the little ground animals which
damage crops. and the report Of John
Bollin. township trustee. was handed
In to County Clerk Niehaus yesterday.
1t shows that in Kickapoo township
the last quarter ending July p, 155
gophers were killed. while but %
ground squirrels were taken. The
scalps have to be destroyed by fire by
the township officers. and they must
make mention of this in their quarterly
report.
The Klckapoo township report shows
that John Roach handed to the town
ship trustee IS gopher scalps at Is cents
apiece and there is due him the sum of
$2.70. Dick GWartney killed 20 gOphers
and win receive SO; Leo F. Aaron killed
IA gophers and 10 squirrels, for which
he will receive $4.05 Leo J. Aaron will
receive $1.95 for II gophers and one
squirrel. Walter Kane killed six
squirrels and one gopher, a total of
seven. for which he will receive 1928
Fred Drews killed four gophers and one
squirrel, and will get 70 cents. r. o.
Spencer will receive $3.50 for II gopher
scalps. Thomas Allen win get 81 for IA
gophers. Lucy Malloy will get 1925 for
Ia gopher scalps, and Peter Fink will
receive $2.S5 for having killed IS goph-
ers and one squirrel.
It is expected that other township
will make their reports to the county
clerk soon, and it will be interesting to
know just how many ground squirrels
and gophers have been killed in I-eav-
enworth county for the quarter ending
July p.

overbrook's Joint Troubles.

Overlook, Kan, July 30.-This town
is torn up over the investigation of a
number of the business men and farm
ers as to their knowledge of the use or
sale of liquors. The Silent Sixteen, a
local temperance committee, furnished
the county attorney the names of thirty
people presumed to like beer and bust
ness has been tied up during the in
QUESTION which has resulted in big costs
but no arrests.

branded mules-a bay and black-that
came to him a month ago as flood refu-
gees, presumably from Topeka or Law

GOOD FOR RAwLINs COUNTY.
Has More Wheat, Oats, Barley and
Rye Than They Care For.

Atwood July 30.-Rawlins county is
ahead of any other county in north
western Kansas. and will have more
bushels of wheat and other small grain
than any other county in this part Of
the state and fewer people to divide it
with.
This county will have 2,0oO,0 900 bushels
of wheat, $4,000 bushels of rye and $4,000
bushels of barley We estimate our
wheat will average 20 bushels per acre
all over the county, rye at 80 and barley
and oats at so per acre. There is more
than 100 900 acres of wheat, 10000 to
Is, 900 acres of rye, 10000 to 10000 acres
of barley and about IS, 900 acres of corn.
We now have as fine prospects for corn
as was ever raised in any county. We
have 10000 acres of cane, Kaftir corn
and millet.
We also have a great deal of alfalfa
and will get three crops this year; also
have an abundance of wild grasses.
Wall street may have a panic but
Rawlins county never will. The farm
ers of Rawlins county are independent,
their income from their COWS, not say
ing anything about chickens and hogs,
is from $25 to $3.50 per month to each
farmer. This beats the government
pension system.
Parties here have been advertising to
loan money for the past ninety days al
10 per cent interest per annum, and up
to the present time they have not made
enough loans to pay for the advertising.
We have not had any hot winds for
number of years. have plenty of rain
for all kinds of vegetation. Pastures are
fine and cattle are doing we'll
Rawlins county has more wealthy
farmers in proportion to her population
than any other county in the state.

Rain Helps the Corn.

AT WICHITA.
A light rain fell here last night with
good prospects for more. The indica-
tons are that a heavy rain has fallen
east and south of this place. The rain
that has fallen here so far is entirely
inadequate for the needs of growing
corn.
AT PRATT.
Two fine showers local in character
visited this county Wednesday after
noon. These promise to be only fore
runners of general rain. One-half of
crop of corn can be saved if a good
rain follows.

A good rain here last evening Will
help save the corn crop, which has been
badly hurt by the severe heat and
winds.

A rain Wednesday afternoon has
helped save the corn.

splendid rain visited this section of
the state the storm lasting about two
hours. The precipitation measured SO
inch. The rain extended as far west as

lieves all present anxiety relative to the
corn crop.
AT JUNCTION CITY.
An inch of rain fell here Wednesday.
1t was the best rain this part of the
country has had for more than a month.
Corn was suffering considerably from
the lack of moisture.
AT INDEPENDENCE
A good soaking rain fell here Wednes-
day, and while it is not nearly as much
as is needed, it will help the corn Won
derfully. 1t had become very dry and
dusty here and vegetation needed mois-
ture badly.
AT WINFIELD.
One-half inch of rain fell here last
night. 1t is the first moisture of any ex-
tent that has fallen in three weeks and
will be of great value to the corn.
AT ABILENE.
Good showers last night helped corn,
but both early and late crops can stand
more.
AT MCPHERSON.
The rain here was the first for three
weeks. Early corn is damaged some
but that in the flooded district is doing
well.
AT LINDSBORG.
Heavy rains fell Wednesday at Mentor
and Assona. and a small shower here.
So far the corn crop is safe.
AT MARYSVILLE.

AT PEABODY.
Corn, alfalfa and other crops were
greatly helped by heavy shower,
which was general over Marion county.

which fiourished in cave on the banks of
Village creek in the 70s and probably only
a Few OF those coming to Chanute within

of such ruins. OF the brewery proper only
a roomy cave tunnelled into the solid rock
now remains, but this has apparently be-

the site of the brewery. Upon reaching the
hill overlooking the cave the officers count
ed a dozen and a half Vehicles, while on
the banks could be seen a large crowd of
revelers busily pulling the corks from
suspiciously shaped bottles Before Van
Sandt could reach the spot his presence
was discovered and the entire party gath
cred the few unemptied TASKS together,
tumbled into their carriages and drove
rapidly away. Arriving at the scene of
the reveling the officers found two barrels
of empty bottles which had every appear

Several of the party are said to have been
recognized but whether any action in the
matter will be taken by the county is not

corbett Defeats o,NeilI.

Philadelphia, July 80. : CHAMPION
Young Corbett knocked out Jack
O'NeiiI. of this city, in the fifth round
last night at the National Athletic club.
The first three and a half rounds were
tame, O'Neill avoiding the champion $
rushes. In the fourth round O'Neill hit
Corbett three glancing blows on the
law and was about to deliver a fourth
one when Corbett dropped to his knees
to avoid it. This gave the local man
confidence in the fifth round which
proved fatal for him. He met Corbett $
rushes and in an unguarded moment
received a terrific right hand punch on
the Jaw which sent him to the floor and
he was counted out.

whitney After Belle Meade.

Nashville, Tenn. July 30.-Announce-

Whitney. the New York millionaire
horseman, hasaopened negotiat tons look
ing to the purchase of Belle Meade, six
miles west of Nashville, and known as
the greatest stock farm ia the south.
Mr.. Whitney, it is said, has been de-
sirous for some time of purchasing a
large breeding farm in the south, and
it is thought he will be a strong bidder
for the place. 1t is also probable that
John A. Drake of Chicago, who is a
millionaire and a prominent horseman,
may bid for the purchase of Belle Meade.

Items from Pratt.

Pratt, Kas., July 30.-A seven weeks
drouth was broken here yesterday by
several good local showers, and the
prospect for more is good. The rain is
too late for the corn. but will be a
great help to all kinds of feed and will
tend to allay the heat. Several thresh-
ing machine men were overcome by
heat last week, and a great deal of
fever is reported the county over, but
it is hoped that this rain viii give us
