ELEVATOR MATTERS
Kansas Grain Company May do Big
Business From Dodge City.

BUSINESS from OOuBe Nltv'
Messrs A. Russell, L, J. Pettijohn and
Geo Groberty went to Hutchinson Tues
day and called on the Kansas Grain Com.
pany to learn what that company expects
to do here In the elevator line. They
were informed that the Kansas Grain
Company has contemplated spending
considerable money In Dodge City in
building. The company desires to make
Dodge City an important station In its
list of Elevator towns. The purpose !!
to handle all western and south western
shipments from this point.
The present delay appears to be caused
over an argument as to who should build
the switches, the Grain Company or the
railroad.
1t lisa matter Of business for both the
Grain Company and the railroad to gel
the elevator and distributing point located
here, and 1t looks like the matter could be
settled without much noIe delay
Dodge City is determined that ample
elevator facilities shall be furnished Ford
county wheat raisers for next year'scrop.
If the Kansas Grain Company does moi
build, other arrangements win have to be
made. The committee that called on The
Grain Company Tuesday will try to get
some defiuite information In the near
fnturA.

George Glngrich, son Of Mr.. and Mrs.

This sad news was wired by the young
mans father today, to W. J Fitzgerald.
George has been employed In a large
mattress factory In Los Angeles, since
leaving here several months ago No
particulars Of the accident have been
learned here yet.
Mrs. Gingrich Il still In Dodge City,
and the message telling OF Georges death
was sent to Mr.. Fitzgerald 80 that the
terrible news could be told to her
Mr.. GingIich went to California some
weeks ago.
George was about "a years of age and
was young man who was much re.

Fhr following story OF the reported
deal was published by the Wichita Eagle
yesterday morning.
"Ihe report Ii,aI The Santa Fe has pur
chased the short branch line from BuckiD
to Dodge City, from the Rock Island. has
revived the interestin the proposed ex.
tension Of the Denver, Enid and Gulf
from Kiowa to to the western part of the
state The Santa Fe have already an
uounced that the line would b- built
from Klowa north to Medicine Lodge, and
that the Medicine Lodge branch would
be extended on to o connection with the
Colorado line at Dodge City. By purchas.
Ing the 'Bucklln stub line, the Santa Fe
have procured part Of this line.
The Medicine Lodge line will be ex-
tended to Bucklin and there connection
made with the line recently acquired.
This will give the Santa Fe another con-
nectlOn from the Galvstlon line to the
Colorado line, tapping the coming Cali
fornia line at Kiowa.
1t also revlves the rumor that the Rock
Island woud pure nse the Wichita and
Western of the Santa Fe. 1t is improba-
BILE that the Rock Island would transfer
the Bncklin- Dodge City line to the Santa
Fe unless they In turn relieved a conces
sicn1n return. 1t is a known fact that
the Rock Island is desir0us of purchasing
the Wichita and Western, and 1t has also
been demonstrated that the Santa Fe did
not wish to dispose Of the road.
Owing to the fact that the Bucklln line
would be better property for the Santa
Fe as a connection of the extensions OF
the Denver. Enid and Gulf, than the
Wichita and weston ~ greement or
the part of the Santa Fe to sell the line tC
Pratt to the Rock Island, is not at all
unlikely"

 The Nooting occurred when launch occupied by about fifteen uaion sail- ors was fired on from the schooner Na- ti0nal City as it lay near the Union Iron Works. According to the men who.W in the launch several volleys were nred at them without warning when they were within a few feet of the schooner. It Is said 1t was the inteation oS the union sailors to make an attempt to have the aon-union crew of the National City desert the vessel which was scheduled to sail today.
 As a part of the plan to carry over lures to the non-union men, launch was engaged and filled with volunteers from the sailors union. The trip was made with the utmost secrecy, but It Is evident that the men on the National City were expecting the visit
 After the launch came up to the National City. a rifle was thrust over the side of the schooner ana shot rang out, followed by the cry, now give 1t to them boys
 Several volleys were then fired on the launch in rapid succession and the terrified union men immediately sought the shelter of the small cabin of the launch.
 As soon as orders could be given to the engineer of the launch he turned about and sped his boat away from the scene as rapidly as possible. A run of nearly two miles was taken to the har- Dor emergency hospital, where the men who had been shot were quickly lifted from the boat by their fFiends. At the hospital 1t was found that An- drew Kelner had been almost imma- Aiately killed. Two bullets had enter- cd his chest and one of them had evi= dently penetrated his heart. His ra- mains were taken to the morgue.
 All the wounded men will recover and will be removed tomorrow to ths marine hospital. No arrests have been made as the schooner at once moved out into the bay.
