Garden City. KAN, Sept. 21.-The
hearing of the Kansas-Colorado case
for possession of the waters of the
Arkansas river was resumed here
Tuesday with a full attendance of
counsel. 1t was suggested by the Colo
RADIO lawyers that if Kansas establish
ed its contention and Colorado was en-
Joined from using the waters OF the
Arkansas for irrigation that Wichita
and Arkansas City might attempt to
interfere with Garden City and Lakin
in their use of the water The Kansas
attorneys contended that if Colorado
was forced to release the waters that
IL now abstracts. the Kansas irrigation
law would protect the users of water in
western Kansas
Besides that an effort was made TO
show that irrigation in western Kansas
had never diminished the flow of the
river at Wichita or elsewhere; that 1t
was when highland canals in Colorado
were constructed in the late SOS ana
early ,9os. taking the flow of the river
and spreading it upon the uDlands lar
distant from the river, that the now
was reduced
Witnesses testified that prior to 1888
the Arkansas was a running stream
that never went dry; that number OF
large bitches were constructed in TINS
part of Kansas in 1880 and 1891 thdt
had a full flow and irrigated great
acreage. but that about 1855 the river
went dry ana as a result the III

their patrons. The bitches were sold
under foreclosure. 1t was shown that
alfalfa and the wild hay crop on the
bottoms had greatly diminished ana
the productive value of the lands had
suffered accordingly. Small lakes tnat
were fed by the underfiow on the nrst
bottom have gone entirely dry
The dates of the alleged decreasing
now corresponded with those OF the
construction of the large canals In
Colorado and the abstractlng OF water
for the uplands in that state. Some
of the bitches in Kansas have been
abandoned, and those that are still
used are uncertain in flow and little
patronized-

A VALUABLE INSTRUMENT.
SaIina Dealer Has a Violin That Il
262 Years Old

E. z. Swenson has picked up a
violin that is perhaps the most valu-
able instrument of the kind in the
state. 1t is of the vintage of 1912,
and has every evidence of authenticity,
for in the interior of the instrument
is the date and the name of the maker
and shows that it was made in Gre
monae. Italy, in 1912 by Andraes
Amalifacit. Mr.. Swenson bought it
from a man who inherited it with
other things and it has been in his
family for many generations.
While Mr.. Swenson did not pay that
amount for it, a good judge of such
instruments says that the very few
others like it are worth $4,000 EACH

The following day five new candi-

Pennsylvania has large squad out
for work every day. For the first few
days the men took things easy, but
last week began work in earnest. Capt.
Torrey, however, thinks that never
were Pennsylvania chances better for
turning out a team that will be able
to cope successfully with the other big
college elevens. The Quakers this year
will probably have an exceptionally
heavy team.

conditions will be a great handicap TO

who was at Yale last year, but was

not have to make up SO many con-
ditions that it will be almost impos-
sible for him to get in the game.

halfback, and w. w. Coe, the giant

ball players, may also rail- under the

are all regulars from last years team:

fullback. There is only one halfoack
position to be filled and a satisfactory
man can be found shortly for the
place. Dan Quill, the famous Amherst
and Tufts player, will be the most
prominent candidate for the vacancy.
The coaches have decided to make
no changes in Yale's style OF play TINS
season. The new rules will make the
efforts of the Blue advisers turn
