Snow at RIackduck.

There was quite a heavy fall of
wet snow at Blackjack and other
points up the north line this
morning. For a time it appeared
that rain might turn to snow in
Bemidji also. The memory of
the oldest inhabitant does not go
back to the time when this conn-
try has experienced so unpleas-
ant a fall.

STILL FIGHTING NiEFFERT.
EinpOria Seems Unable to Prevent the
Doctor From Pracficino.

Emporia, Kan, Nov. 16.-The news
of the affirmation of the decision of
the state supreme court in the Meffert
case by the United States supreme
court has started the fight on William
Metfert once more, and a meeting of
the citizens committee was held Tues
day to take active steps toward fore
ing him to stop the practice of medi-
cine. .-1
During the eighteen months that
Meffert has been without a license he
has practiced medicine continuously
and the people who have been allow
ing him to call have been watched
with a view OF forcing them to appear
in court against him should he try to
stay in Emporia. The county attorney
has signified his intention of bringing
action against Meffert as soon as evil
dence can be produced and the citf-
zens' committee has hired a number
of other lawyers to assist in this pros
ecution. 1rf.
Governor Bailey has given his
promise to this committee that he will
not put man on the medical board
who would not promise beforehand to
vote against Meffert's restoration. Gov
ernor-elect Hoch has been kept in
touch with the movement and will
probably follow the example set by
Bailey. The fight on Meffert was
has cost the town several thousand
dollars, most of which has been raised
by subscription among the business
men and church people. At his door
is laid the death of Steve Conklin, who
killed himself and tried to kill his
wife, through worry over Meffert'S re-
lations with her.

Borrowed a Watch and a Hat,
Then Left the Town.
Parents Live I'm New York and
Are Rather Wealthy.

Leavenworth, Kan. Nov. 16.-Willie
Silverman, a 17-year-old New York
city boy is wanted by the local police
on the charge of forging two checks,
one in the name of Ike Hart, Silver
mans employer, and the other in the
name of Henry Ettenson 81 Sons Dry
Goods company. Silverman passed
one of the checks on Sam Healer and
the other on Herman Witt, the former
in the sum of SIS, and the other for
S35. Both checks have turned out
to be forgeries, neither Mr.. Hart nor
Mr.. Ettenson having issued any
check to Silverman.
The story of the boys alleged crime
is a most startling one when 1t is re-
membered that the forgeries were
committed by a lad not over II years
. old whose experience in the world was
comprised of trip from his home in
New York to st. Louis and from there
to this city Silverman came here
about four weeks ago and told friends
here, who know his parents in Brook
lyn, that he was merely taking trip
through the west after visiting the
fair The Leavenworth men who knew
him thought nothing of the matter
knowing that his parents were rather
wealthy.
After Iounging about town for some
time, Silverman went to work in Ike
Harris store and boarded at the home
Harris, where he had been living sew

with a number of young Jewish boys

and he left the store with something
over $34. Sunday afternoon he asked
Clauser, at who.-e home he was stay
ing, for his watch and chain, stating
that he would only be gone an hour
and that he was going to a celebration.
He started to take his overcoat, but
Clauser told him it was not cold and
he left without it returning later and
taking Clauser's hat and his own over
coat He then went down town and

from here and either went east to his

hope of eluding the law.

Emporia, Kas., Nov. 16.-The Col
1ege of Emporia was defeated Tuesday
afternoon on the college field by Otta-
wa university by score of II to 6.
The game was won by superior weight
and defensive work on the part of the
ottawa backs. There were no sem
sational plays, most of the gains be-
ing made by straight end bucks. OF
tawa kicked off to the college and took
the ball on downs, carrying it over
the college goal after about four
minutes play. Kerns kicked goal.

which lost the ball on a tumble, after
which the college scored. The half

20-yard line. The second half opened
with ottawa making the pace, and it
was able to keep it UP to the end. At
no time was its goal in any serious
danger The first touchdown was
made after about ten minutes of play
and the second a little later. Kerns

Bantams May Battle in Detroit, but
Prefer to Fight in ST. Louis.

Chicago, Nov. 16.-Harry Forbes
and Jem Bowker are to box for the
worlds championship among the
bantamweight fighters in Detroit

in Chicago today.
Assurance has been received that
the game will reopen in the Michigan

ing ahead with his plans.
1t is said that even twenty rounds
will not be distasteful to the latest
set of officials selected to guide the

with the Detroit management for
some time regarding the meeting with
Bowker, the English champion, and
has been assured that George Con-
sidine, working in the matter from
the New York end, has closed for
Bowker's appearance in this country.
According to Jim Neil, Forbes is
the only American fighter that has a
chance of beating Bowker.

would prefer to fight in st. Louis be-
fore the West End club, but failing
in an attempt to get the fight on there,
he will be ready to battle in the Mich
igan city.

THAT MCPHERSON SALT.
Drillers Pass Through a 95-FoOt Bed
of the Pure Article.

Everyone is happy today on account
of the striking of a 95-foot bed of
salt in the Mcpherson Prospect COM
pany's well. 1t is about the largest
and purest deposit of rock salt in the
state, and lies only 455 feet below the
surface. sample which was placed
in the lobby of the postoffice yester-
day has attracted a great deal of at
tention. 1t is a little dirty on ac-
count of the water which has to be
let down in order to pump the we'll
out, but the pieces which were not
ground up too fine show that it is alb
beds in Kansas, there is no mineral
mixed with the salt at all and it seems
to be a solid bed. When the drillers
commenced again this morning they
were about / 5 feet below the bed but
had good indications of striking more,
so that the real depth of the deposit
cannot vet be found out.
The finding of this great deposit. of
salt insures that if gas or oil is not
found, as it is expected to be and as
circumstances indicate, the we'll will
not by any means be a failure. The
company intends to get all they can
out of the new discovery, and whether
probably sink a shaft and mine the
salt.
The bed is several hundreds feet
nearer the surface than those at
Hutchinson and Lyons. and is also
much thicker, and equal if not SUI
perior in quality. At Lyons they go
about 500 feet deep and only have
son why a mine here should not be
better than that at Lyons or any other
place in the state.-McPherson Re

Gas Franchise Opposed.

Leavenworth, Kan, Nov. ia
committee of fifteen prominent citi-
zens met here and elected spok
to appear before the city council to
protest against the granting of a gas
franchise to certain attorneys who
represent a corporation that is not yet
in existence. Several hundred citizens
will attend the council meeting as it
is reported that half the council favor
giving the franchise. There is great
indignation. The citizens committee
wants the matter held up until some
local gas companies, which are being
organized, get a chance to prospect
for gas in this county. 1t is under
stood that the parties asking for the
franchise represent the Helms of
Kansas City, and Mr.. Lantry of
Strong City, Kan. They are said to
be securing franchises in towns all
over the east end of the state.

Gives New Version of an Old Deal.
Bufa1o, NJ Y. Nov. 16.-Captain
Manager Jimmy Collins of the cham
pion Bostazis, when asked by friends
here recently the true reason why the
Boston club released Dougherty to the
New York Americans, replied:
"Doughertyffs one of the best hit
tig ball players I ever knew. He was
instrumental in landing us in second
place two years ago and in first place
last season. Dougherty is a friend of
mine, and hope am friend of his,
but when this season started we fell
into tough luck and Dougherty fell
with US.
Baseball is as much a business as
any other thing you could imagine
Baseball players are bought and sold.
They are the assets of a good team.
Dougherty was not playing the ball he
played in the past. Several teams
wanted him. but the New York team
was playing a pitcher in the outfield,
and, recognizing in Dougherty a good
player, they wanted him, offered more
for him, and got him, and that is the
sole reason that they secured that
player. It was not sentiment. it was
not friendship, it was not luminosity.
1t was a pure business deal.'
