Lacrosse Celebration.

Those who attended the 4th of July
celebration at Lacrosse report very
pleasing time. There were quite a
number from Great Bend. From
Hoisington west there were four
coaches on the special, and every one
loaded to the fullest.
The merchants parade was voted
by the visitors as being fine, the best
features being the two gunboats, re-
presenting the Japs and Russians, and
the Workmen float.
There were horse races, speaking
two base ball games, and a grand
display of fire works at night.

GREAT BEND, 6 lARNED |.
A Very Pleasing Game. Eeven if 1t Was
Onesided.

Again the Great Bend base bail
team has added a scalp to its string,
taking the 4th of July game from
Larned by a score of 6 to L. There
was good sized crowd n attendance,
and the people were entertained with
good ball. The Larned boys, how
ever, were not in the game at any
time although they were clean set Of
nervy young players.
Great Bend was in good form and
played the game with few errors.
Moore and Durham were simply
invincible, and with Lyon at short.

on third, the Larned kids were UP
against the real thing in a manner
that they will not soon forget.

The Larned umpire was almost as

his lower limb, giving the Bend the
worst of it whenever he could. But
we can't blame him much for recog

John W. Rocklin's' Stroll to
Park With Young Fiancee
Interrupted by a Robber
RELIEVED OF A DOLLAR
Victim Thinks He Has Since
Seen the Bench Bandit
and Has CleW for Police

A hoidup man has dealt another
blow to sweet romancing in Golden
Gate Park The rude man and his
revolver again put the little archer to
rout night before last and spread
nervousness and dread among even
ing stroliers.
The latest victim was John w.
Rocklin, a bartender employed at los
Mason street, and the young lady who
was at his side during the hysterical
experience was lks f1ancee. Miss Meta
Mailer They wefe seated on a bench
near the entrance opposite the Chutes
and were discussing the playings Of q
searchlight across the murky heavens
when a man who came walking slowly
up the driveway suddenly wheeled
upon them with cleaning revolver in
hand and nokmask to cover his face.
He ignored the young woman and
addressed himself to the man. who had
been strong In wooing
Stand upl'' came the sharp COM
mand to Rocklin.
Wits vanished and sparring to re-
collect them Rocklin answered a mild
good evening.
Four times In rapid succession the
robber ordered his victim to arise. The
last time he emphasized his words by
pressing the revolver against Rock
Inns waistcoat, very uncomfortably,
and added, Don't trifie with me-"
There was immediate compliance.
With the ugly 1rearm In one hand, tho
holdup man with the other searched
Rocklin's pockets. They yielded but a

nerves were active end involuntarily

you move, don't you holler, do you
hear?" he spoke In subdued but COM
pelling voice that rooted Rocklin to tho
spot Those words were full of shiv-
vers," Is the way the genial naixologiet
puts it.
An instant later the holdup man was
gone into the dense brush q few feet
away.
1t was some time before Miss Mahler
was restored to composure. Rocklin
wanted to go with the police In a hunt
for the robber. but she insisted that he
. return home with her.
Yesterday there was a strange sequel
to the story. Rocklin was on duty be-
hind the bar calmly meeting the mid
day rush when a man came up and
called for a glass Of beer. The bar
tender recognized the face as that OF
the man who had held him up the
night before. There were the same
features, the dark eyes. black hair,
same hat, same manner and the identi-
cal stature.
Rocklin has cisw to the identity
of the man and will have 1t followed
up. Sergeant Brown, on duty at the
Hall of Justice, was annoyed when in

Der face to face yesterday and will
probably report the matter to Captain
Burnett some time to-day.

TELLS ABOUT
YOELL'S WILLS
DIR. John Mcmahon Says De-
ceased Capitalist Was in
Habit Of Changing Mind
RAILED AT DAUGHTERS
Other Witnesses Testify as
to Peculiar Disposition of
the Erratic Land Owner

The witnesses who appeared at the
hearing of the Yoel viii contest in
Superior Judge Kerrigan's court yes
tereay had many interesting things TO
tell about the deceased capitalist One
told how adept he had been in making
wills, while others related stories of
his stinginess and peculiar disposition.
DR.. John Mcmahon. who had been
foeii' S physician for several years, de-
clared that the dead capitalist used
70 amuse himself by making wills.
Dr. Mcmahon says that Yoell on
several occasions made wills cutting
his daughter. Mrs. Charles Levy, off
with So Xoeu is quoted as having said:
Mrs Levy and that scOundrel Charles
want TO get me -out OF the way This
thought would anger the old man to
such an extent that he cut them OFF
with IS apportionment.
On another occasion the old man is
quoted as having wished his. other
daughter, Mrs. Parkhurst, dead. DR..
Mcmahon testified that Yoell at other
times wished Mrs. Levy out of the way
because she had antagonized him by
marrying outside of her religion

the Chinese cook The Celestial told OF
how Yoen feared that some one had
put poison in his coffee. All Kim re-
fused 70 believe that such was the
case and testified that he informed
YOell he was clay"
Miss Gertrude Yoeu was the prin-
cipaI witness on the stand during the
afternoon session. She related Incl
dents regarding her fathers home life
and his peculiar manner and .dispOsi-
tiOn. She told Of how tight he was in
money matters and never gave his
children too much wealth to sQuander.
She told Of her trip to Europe with
Kim and how he refused to visit the
graves Of his ancestors in a London
cemetery. She also related how Yoell
had struck his Wife on one occasion,
and another time pulled & pistol on
Mrs. Levy and said he would shoot
her. The cid mans peculiar fascina-
tiOn for religion and his adept way Of
cursing and calling names to the mem
bers Of his family were again brought
out in Miss Yoelrs testimony.
Miss Yoeu was ss-questioned by
Attorney Delmas for the proponents
and she proved equal to the occasion.
She rarely hesitated in her answers
and her memory proved to be excel
lent. Attorney Delmas wanted to in
troduce one of YoelPs letters IN evil
dence, but Attorney HOeier refused
unless Delmas granted him the privi-
iege OF nrSt looking at It. lnlS the
latter refused to do. and he was up
held by the Judge.
Mrs. Margaret Speer and G.. W. Min
streu were called to tell what they
knew about Yoells actions while the
dead capitalist was staying at High
land Springs. Their testimony failed
to bring out any startling develop
uents. Several letters written by Yoell
TO his children In endearing terms were
offered as evidence. The case will con-
tinued this morning at 1890 Attorney
Hoefier announced that he expected
TO close his case to-day.
