HORTON AND BUCKET SHOPS.
a New Social Lion DID the Town
and Shipped.

The experience Horton has just had
with Tommy Hicks ought to teach our
people a profitable lesson. The first
ia that when an unknown man drops
into town without recommendation or
open history, it is dangerous to place.
your money in his hands for specula-
tive purposes, and especially a gam
bling deal in which you are sure to be
heeced in the end. Bucket shops con-
stftute the most dangerous form of
gambling and 1t is surprising to see
church members and professed chris
tians playing the game when they are
Mortified to even contemplate a faro
bank or poker game, both of which
are lesser evils Hicks skinned John
Pauley Of Purcell, out of $3.50 in one
deal and. several local spectators suf-
fered the loss of smaller amounts.
Charley Garrett was called to Kansas
City yesterday by a message stating
that Hicks was there trying to rob
him out of a deal he had with Christy
Street.
The second lesson is that the portion
of Horton's population that considers
itself the society push is always too
fresh to grab up any wen dressed
monkey who comes along and make a
social lion of him, especially If he
shows any ability at singing and tip
ping his hat to the ladies. Hicks land
ed in Kansas City, where he will like
" look for more suckers. He sent a
lawyer to Horton and forced some of
his creditors so release his household
goods, which had been attached. , He
claimed they belonged to his Wife
Horton Commercial.

Is modest and would not submit to an
interview when pressed by State
Journal correspondent. He will talk
about anything but himself A Topeka
friend, however, who has known Tay-
Ter for years has volunteered the fol-
lowing Information in regard to his ca
rAer.
Luther H. Taylor was born in Oska-
locsa, Kansas. in the year 1876. being
the second deaf mute in his family
which contains three silent people, In
1884, he began his course at the Kansas
school for the deaf at Olathe from
which he graduated with honors in
1885.
During his school career he was one
Of the most striking athletes ever seen
at his school. He was at first a catcher
and the quality of his arm could be
seen in his swift and accurate throwing
TO second base to prevent Stealing He
was a fine catcher in these days long
before he ever thought Of going into
the box for his bread and butter. After
doing the back stopping for several
seasons. he was transferred to the
schools pitching staff and easily be-
cine the star Of the twirling corps He
played in every game and never lost
one at school.
In the spring of 1894, the Kansas
school baseball team, after spending
considerable time in practicing for the
game with the supposedly strong Paola
(Kan.) team, outplayed them in every
department. defeating them easily by
the score of more than 20 to 2. Luther
pitched this game and struck out over
20 men
IN the social life Of the school, he
was popular among the boys and even
with the young ladies' The writer re-
members clearly when it was the silent
pitchers birthday the larger pupils
swarrned around him in hopes of Civ
What did Luther do2 He had a cow
boys whip in his hand and kept the
crowd at bay. and no one dared touch
the future great pitcher on that occa-
sion.
One day during Christmas week an
old pupil of the school came on his
wheel from Merriam, Kan, to pay his
alma mater q short visit. Luther
perhaps 1t was his first time in life to
try on q hOrselessI alito--Ino unted it.
and while it was running down q hill,
one OF Its handles gave way, and there
