LET THEM
FIGHT 1T OUT

Henry c. Chiles of independence i:
one of the old timers of eastern Jack
son county, and his memory is good.
In 1885," remarked Mr.. Chilles, as
he smoked his Missouri meerchaum'
refiectively in the county clerks Office
in Independence yesterday, my father
was selling goods in Sibley, fifteen
miles northeast of this town, and was
with him in the store. That was be-
fore the days of the saloon of the
present type, and more or less whisky
was handled in nearly all stores, es-
pecially grocery stores.
Our store was no exception to the
rule. We kept a barrel of it open in
the back room. It was free to our
customers, and a glass was provided
for white men to drink out of and a
tin cup for negroes.
Much business was done in Sibley
in those days, and strangers came to
town from various parts of the world.
One Saturday, when there We're many
people in town, a small Englishman
appeared. He was so gentlemanly in
appearance and manners that the
crowd of rough frontiersmen at once
singled him out as a good victim for
ridicule. They made all sorts of re-
marks to draw him out. For a while
he paid no attention to them, but be-
fore long he began to see that he was
in for it. A big fellow named Ray had
been particularly insulting.
Gentlemen said the little English
man, I don't want to fight, but it ap-
pears that that is what you are after,
so / suppose I shall have to accommo-
date you
"A jeer went up from the crowd; the
idea of such a little fellow fightingi
The crowd had been drinking a little
too much and was spelling for a fist
fight.
1T was customary to observe some
sort of rules in fistic encounters Ac-
cordingly each man chose a second
from among the crowd and the fight
began.
With look of supreme contempt,
Ray made a pass for his antagonist,
but in a small fraction of a second
found himself sprawling on the ground.
He sprang to his feet, but was downed
again and again.
Let me at him. said Rays second,
but the second was knocked out as
easily as the principal bully had been.
The stranger proved to be a thoroughly
trained athlete. He declared that he
could whip the whole bunch. He
knocked one man down and jumped
on him, kicking him in the face This
was signal for a general fight.
My father a peacemaker by nature,
rushed out and tried to interfere, but
after he had received a vicious jab in
the face he was glad enough to run
back into the store
Then Paschall Cook, the constable

at Sibley, felt that it was time for the
majesty of the law to assert itself He
had no hope, however, of accomplish
ing anything single handed, so he
grabbed up the top of a box and wrote
down the names of a number of men
he knew, at the same time appointing
them as deputies to help him.
No one paid the slightest attention
to him. Throwing his list of deputies
into the river and bawling out Fight
and be damned! he, too, retreated to
the store, leaving the excited crowd to
pummel each other till it had had it's
fill. kansas City Star.

CHINESE
ATHLETES
Make Good Showing in
the Field Day
Sports.

| Chinese athletes had a field day al
to themselves yesterday afternoon OF
the Boys Field where some records
were made and others tied. In the
presence of perhaps 1900 people, most
ly Chinese, the young fellows showed
themselves adopts in all-round ath-
| letics.
En- Sue, the champion baseball player
and runner, carried off the honors in
all the events he entered and his breast
| fairly bristled with medals at the con
| clusion of the days sport.
The strangers who were present mar
yelled at the wonderful showing of the
shortIegged, strong-limbed En- Sue
He was good to look upon and his eff
forts in anything he undertook could
not fail to interest. John Lo was
close second to En- Sue in nearly every
event.
The sports were graced by Mrs.
Chang Tso Fan, wife of the Chinese
Consul, and several young ladies who
occupied the platform of honor, from
which Mrs. Chang Tso Fan distributed
the trophies to the victors. The tro-
phies comprised medals, lima and vio-
let leis and small bouquets.
Interest largely centered in the half
mile relay race, the last number on the
program, in which the team captained
1ol Nv, tn Is
brother, En- Yet, proved a swift little
runner and an invaluable aid.
Miss Constance Restarick, daughter
of Bishop Restarick, Miss Lucy Kong
and Miss Lily Kong occupied seats on
the platform with Mrs. Chang Tso Fan.
The Consul was also present.
The officials of the course Were:

Objects to Prohibition Plan


Property Owner Says NeighbOrs Try
to Dictate.
The members of the council license
committee heard a novel plea last week
when Louis LagoriO opposed the crea-
ton of prohibition district which
would include his property at Sacra-
mento avenue and Madison street, on
the ground that it would dictate the
purposes for which his building should
be used. Although he has just given
five years lease for the building to
druggist and has no intention of rent
ing it for saloon purposes, he declares
that his neighbors are attempting to
regulate his affairs and he resents their
interference.
Mr. Lagorio is off, No one expects
to dictate the purpose for his building
except in the case he makes a dramshop
out of it. That is all that prohibition
would provide If he puts hogs into his
building or gets to use it for glue
factory or a slaughter house his neigh
bors may object. LagoriO thinks that
because he owns property he has the
right to use that property for any pur-
pose he chooses That does not neces-
sarily follow. Other people besides
Lagorio live in Chicago. He is not the
only potato in the patch and will soon
find it out.

that may do you good. I was once
prosperous farmer. I had loving wife
