side could get hold of a halt and
at the signal each started in OPP
posite directions. He would run
to the first corner where another
boy was waiting and who taking
the card ran to the next corner,
and thus around to the starting
point. The race was run in two
minutes and ten seconds, and
was won by the first named four
boys.
The 10C yard race was won by
Donald Thomas. Those who run
were Arthur Mittelstaedt, Albert
Fossum, Cyrus Karl and the
winner.
The fifty yard foot race was
won by Karl Bleser. The others
who took part were: Howard
MaxieId, Albert Conright, Har-
ry Maxtield and Percy Porter.

another boy whose name we did
not learn-the latter two vim
ing the race.

and Arthur Mittelstaedt and
Donald Thomas, Karl Bleser
winning.
There were numerous other
sports, incident tai races such as
the ladies ermelon race,
which we were not supposed to
mention, but just couldn't help
it, but will not give out any
names, as the winner is so mod
est about the honors.
AT any rate, all claim to have
bad very fine time, and many
prefer to hold the picnic at the
same place again next year, saw
ing SO much trouble and work
which is necessary when they go
to the lake, and everybody can
attend when held at the grounds,

Hamilton of La Harpe, one of the
elders of the United Presbyterian
church at Gas City, where the meet
ings have been held, called on MI EV-
ans at his Office in Lola ana informed
him that it would not be agreeable Tor
him to speak in the church. AS MI
Hamilton is an elder in the church,
Mr. Evans turned the matter over IN
his mind. and decided that he would
not make any effort to deliver the
speech which he had been invited to
make by the Allen county W. c. T. u
in the face of Mr.. Hamilton's objec-
ton So the institute did not hear Mr..

Mr.. Evans had previously accepted
the invitation of the W. C. T. U. and
was ready to fill the date
= Mr. Hamilton. the elder in the Gas
CITY church who made the objection,
is a personal and political enemy Of
Mr. Evans. The feud has existed for
some time. Mr.. Evans says that one
of the reasons for It is the fact that
about a year ago, as attorney for one
of his clients, he was compelled to sue
Mr. Hamilton. Mr. Hamilton, it is un-
derstood, takes the ground that Mr..
Evans is not sincere in his law en-
fOrcement= crusade. Anyway. he does
not like him. although Mr.. Hamilton
himself has always been an advocate
of law enforcement and is known to
be a prohibitionist
When the news reached the women
of the ". C. T. q. they were not very
greatly pleased over the objection
some of them were very resentful, and
did not hesitate to say So They sub
sequently adopted resolutions indors-
ing Mr.. Evans
Mr.. Evans was seen at his Office in
lola and made the following state
ment in regard to the affair:
This is only one of the many dis
agreeable incidents which one must
encounter If he will honestly endeavor
TO discharge his duty toward the en-
forcement Of the prohibitory law.

CAR MAKES a WILD DASH.
Runs Twelve Miles Down Mountain

and Scafters Things.
Albuquerque, n. NJ, April 14.-One of
the most peculiar runaways that ever
took place on a southwestern railroad
occurred the other day at Mountainair
when a big steel car loaded with ties
started out of the Mountainair yards
and took a wild shoot down the grade
toward the Rio Grande. The last seen
of it by the startled tie leaders at Noun
tainair it was going at least sixty miles
an hour, and there was considerable
excitement for bit as it was feared the
runaway would hit something and
spread ruin and disaster at the next
station The wire was immediately
hit and warning sent down the line.
Twelve miles down through the canyon
the runaway hit a partly loaded Lantry-
Sharpe construction car loaded with
heavy steel rails. which was being IN
loaded by a force of worxmen. The
workmen took to the tall timber just in
time When the runaway hit the steel
car they say rails went at least hum
dred feet in the air and there was not
enough left of either car to carry to
the junk pile When the collision oc-
CURED the men say the runaway must
have attained a momentum of nearly a
hundred miles an hour.

Convicted of Attempted Assault on
Woman in Santa F'e Train.


Phoenix. Ariz., April 14.@William
Thomas. a former Pullman porter, who
had run on the Santa E'e, has been
sent to Yuma, where he will serve ten
years for an attempted assault on Miss
Lucllla Derby. a school teacher of Oak
land, Cal. The crime was committed
on an eastbound train While it was
passing through Mohaye county last
December.
Miss Derby who was asleep in a
berth Of the Pullman, was awakened
by a clutching at her throat and she
heard a. man threaten with an oath
that if she made an cutlery he would
throw her through the window She
struggled and tried to scream. AT
length she freed one arm and then par
tally loOsened the hold of her assailant
upon her throat She screamed loud
enough to frlghten her assailant and at
the same time attracted the attention
Of a man sleeping in a berth nearby.
The assaflant sprang from the berth
and disappeared and the other man
who had not seen him came up I'M
mediately after Thomas, who pretend
ed to have heard the screaming, came
in and was at once identified by the
woman as the man who had attacked
her.
In little while the throat of the
woman was so swollen that she was
hrdly able to tell about her fearful
experience.
TO the disgrace of the trafnmen as
we'll as the passengers, nothing was
done about the matter, and the negro
was allowed to complete his run to
Chicago, where he was either laid off
or given another run.
In the meantime the affair was
brought TO the notice of the Santa Fe
officials. who induced the Pullman
company to put Thomas back on the
run and the first time he entered Mo-
have county he was taken from the
train. Thus the delays and perpIexi-
ties of extraditicn were dispensed with
This was two months after the commits
sion of the crime.
There was a vigorous defense. the
fund for it having been furnished by
the porters' union, by an attorney of
San BernaTdino. Cal. who nearly Sc
cured the acquittal of Thomas. It was
