wRECKAGE CLEARED UP.
The Burning Gas Well Ready for An
other Trial.

Caney. Kan, March 16.-Good prog
ress has been made in the battle with
the flames at the burning gas well. or
rather in the preparation for the battle
that will take place in a few days. The
wreck Of the ruined hood has been
taken away. The flames left unob-
structed again flew upward with a
mighty roar.
The situation is the same as it was
two weeks ago before the hood scheme
was adopted uperintendent Nc
Dowen is highly elated over the results
of Thursdays work. In moving this
wreck a chain nearly zoo feet long, the
links made of one inch iron, was loop
ed around the fire by the use of cables.
When a firm hold was secured the
chain was connected with d huge block
and tackle from a big tree and four
spans of horses we're used to manipu-
late the block. A shout went up from
the workmen and spectators when the
great mass OF Wreckage, upon which
they had worked for three days with
out results, began to move. The way
is now clear for the trial of the new
hood
Word has been received from hide
pendence and Chanute that the hood
and crane are completed. They will be
brought to Caney on special train
probably today Mr.. Mcdowell ex-
poets to be able to set the improved

TIE Z. c. INDOOR MEET.
Contest Between Columbia and Law
renee VIII BE Close.

Kansas City, March 16.-Tonight in
Convention hall viii be pulled off what
looks to be the closest athletic contest
ever held between the universities OF
Kansas and Missouri Conservative dOp-
ing give the meet to Missouri by three
points, but the Jayhawkers may spring
a few surprises and capture the long end
of the score.
This is the third annual indoor meet
between the two schools. The 1904 con-
test was close, Missouri winning by five
points. but the affair last year was a
WalkaWay for the Tigers. The Jay
haWkerS have never won a track meet
from the Columbia men, but they seem
to be determined to carry home heavy
bunch Of points tonight. At the opening
OF the training season. two months ago,
the indoor meet was conceded to Mis-
souri, even though the Tigers entered
only half their men. This idea was
prevalent until in the K G. A @. meet
here the first of March the Kansas relay
team won from the Missouri team and
the Kansas contestants in the pole vault,
shof put and middle distance runs were
up in front at the finish Of every event
fin which they were entered. After this
defeat Missouri athletes began to be
come worried The disqualification Of
Salisbury. the Tiger hurdler and pole
vaulter, and the entrance of Kuhn, the
X c. A. c.. hurdler and sprinter on
the Kansas team. did not have ten
deucy to quiet the fears Of the persons
who intend to wear the orange and black
a tonight's meet.
If Salisbury were IN the meet. 50 the
A1fssOurians say, Kansas would have no
show OF winning. He was counted upon
to capture second In the pole vault and
TO pull at least eight points out of the
two hurdle races. If Kansas wins the
best excuse that the Tigers can OFFER IS,
s'Had Salisbury been entered we would
have Won"
Martin Delaney has doped Missouri
60 win. He gives Missouri first and
Kansas second IN the 40 and 50-yard
dash. However. the Jayhawkers have
an excellent chance to win the short
dash. Driscou looks good in the 40.
He defeated Ellis whom Delaney picks
TO win twice i'm the K. c. A. c. meet.
In the relay Driscon Overcame a big
lead and beat Ellis by a vide gap and
in the 40 he finished far ahead of the
Tiger. AIissourians lay Ellis defeat tc
his condition. Delaney also gives Mis-
souri, the relay If Driscoll can win the
40 he viii be good enough to make his
team win the relay on the other hand
