WILL IMPROVE
 STREET CROSSINGS

The Cotton Belt railroad, it is understood will begin ill few days to grade aud repair the railway track between Main and Walnut streets, in order to make the track more steady and level. The cross ings between these streets have been giving the railroad company as we'll as the other people who are forced to cross them, much trouble lNely because the street has worn down and been dug out in many places, so that the track is lower than the level of the street in some places and higher in others. The crossing at Chestnut street will be among the first repaired because it is thought to be in very bad condition. The tracks are much higher than the level of the street and cause the passers-by no little inconvenience.

BIG REALTY DEAL
 MADE AT FORDYCE
Leitner and Veil, Local Real Estate Men, Purchase Bun's Addition in That Growing Town and Will Sell It in Lots in
 September.

Julius Leitner, of the progressive real estate firm of Leitner and Well, returned from Fordyce yes- terday where he consummated a~tig real estate deal for his firm, which resulted in a transfer of property to that firm gregating more than $10,O00 ill value. Leitner and Veil purchased what is known as Bunn's addition to the city of Fordyce. This addition includes two hundred town lots of 50x150 each, in the heart of the city. It is the intention of the realty firm to put the lots on sale September 15. The sale is to conducted at Fcrdyce, which is one of the most progressive of the smaller cities in this section of the state. The lots are said to be de- sirable for residences and are in demand in that growing city. Lett ner and Well will probably estab-- lish branch office at Fordyce in the near future.
 This firm is a live one in the real estate field and has made some of the largest deals consummated in the state in the past several years. The two members of the firm are hustlers and their success is a testimonial of the fact.

KILLING JUSTIFIABLE
 SAYS JUSTICE CHEEK
Ed Graham. Negro Who Shot Another to Defend Himself, Is Discharged at the Preliminary Hearing Wife of Dead Man a Wit
 ness for Defense,

The killing of Josh Hampton, wilfct
 occurred about three weeks ago ill the
 western part of this city, was Saturday l morning held jusstitiabe by Justice Louis Cheek, when he released Ed Graham, the negro who confessed the crime, and dismissed the case against him. Graham was the negro who, af- 1 ter being at liberty since the killing,
 came to the authorities and surrender ed himself upon the advice of w. B. f Sorrells. The testimony of three eye witnesses to the tragedy was so strong
 and showed so plainly that tue killing
 was purely in self defense, that Justice 1 Cheek thought it would not be advis- able to continue the case against him
 in tue higher courts. One of the strongest witnesses for the defense was the wife of Josh Graham, the man who was killed.
 All three of the eye witnesses stated that Graham was eating or was about to eat some ice cream with Hampton's wife. which she had prepared, when Hampton came into the house, and skipping Graham on the shoulder ask ed him if he had his gun, telling him
 he thought he would need it. Ora
 ham replied in the negative, and
 Hampton shot at him four times, Whereupon Graham produced a pistol and fired, killing Hampton almost in- stantly.
 The killing as we'll as the preim- mary hearing caused no small amount of excitement among the negroes of this city, and a large crowd attended the trial. Attorney w. E. Sorrells de- tended the accused, while Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Creed Caldwell represented the state.

DUBLIN's BIG SHOW.

To the crude music of hundreds of
hammers the handsome buildings
wherein will be held the Irish interna-
tional exhibition of 1907 are rising like
magic from the ground. Spread over
fifty-two acres of land within a mile
and a half of the center of Dublin five
hundred Irish workmen are busy
Transforming mounds into lakes and
of mud are becoming broad graveled
walks or beds of rich soil ready to
welcome and nourish the flowers of
summer.
Upon barren stretches of meadow
land there are arising massive looking
structures whose roofs will cover the
products of the worlds industry.
''We are well ahead of time Mr..
James Shanks, the chief executive Of
ficer, remarked one day this week
1--WE have seventeen more weeks yet
before VIC open, and we feel satisfied
with our progress. The exhibition
will be opened during the first week of
May and will remain open for the
public for six months-to be exact
so days. During that time we esti-
mate we shall have from 10000 to
$4,000 visitors daily, and an average of
40, 600 for every twenty-four hours, or
a total of 100000 during the $50
days"
This particular exhibition has been
meeting with the fiercest kind of OPP
position ever since it has been project
ed. In connection with the financing
of the proposition it became necessary
to let the contracts for the building to
an English contractor. and naturally
this has aroused opposition from the
local contractors. OF late, however,
some of this opposition has been dying
away, the argument being advanced
that If the exhibition does not bring
discredit upon Ireland all of the local
interests should try to get together,
bury petty interests foIs the benefit of
Industrial Ireland and try to pull the
thing through with the best manner
possible. 1t is argued that a failure
to do this might result in Ireland re-
would not recover for years. I'm
doubtedly it will be a long time before
the quarrels engendered by the EXPOSE
ton are settled, but the general feeling

MYSTERIOUS MINES.
Some Lost Drifts That Keep the Mexi-
can Gold Seeker Busy

Among the rich mines worked by
| the Spaniards was the TaraSca in
Sonora, of which Humboldt wroteS so
fascinatingly and Ward and other his
torians mention favorably. The his
tory of Tarasca is one of evil deeds, of
duplicity, of theft, of greed and all the
base passions melted by the love of
gold. The mine was worked long be-
fore the SDaniards arrived in Mexico.
and the gold and silver fashioned into
ornaments by the aborigines. A fam
lily in Guaymas has necklace of fly
ing fish bought from Pima Indian
chief who stated that the metal was
dug from Tarasca. The mine was
worked by various Spaniards. and
later acquired for the crown of Spain.
It was extensively worked. barring
certain periods during Apache wars,
until the epoch of the French inter-
vention when the shafts and tunnels
are said to have been concealed by the
administrator, Don Juan Moreno, an
imperialist, who was forced to seek
safety in flight, After the restoration
of peace TaraSca was looked for in
vain, andsto the present time no one is
certain of it's location, though the
mine now known as Ubarbo is believed
to be the Tarasca- Ubarbo had been
extensively worked when rediscovered
years ago, and the shafts and tunnels
concealed under earth and brush.
Rich pillars of ore were found in the
drifts, and the mine corresponds with
the description in the archives of the
American consulate at Guaymas.
But the lost mine about which ira
dition gathers thickest is Talopa, sup
posed to be located in the Shahuaripa
district in Sonora. Little documentary
evidence exists to prove Talopa's real
ity and that has evidently been man
ufactured by INSCRIPTIONS manipu-
lators A wealthy Mexican recently
made a trip to Madrid, and after min
ute search at great expense found alb
solutely no data to prove that such
mine was worked for the crown of
Spain and no reliable data in the Mex
lean archives or elsewhere to prove
that such a mine was ever known. But
quite as trustworthy as most written
documents are the traditions gathered
from the Pima Indians.
Thew stoutly maintain that Talopa
exists, and few claim to know its
locality Small quantities of very rich
ore are occasionally sold at the noun
tain mining camps. and all attempts
to follow the Indians to the spot where
it is found or bride them to reveal it
have failed. Wanting but little in adj
dition to the corn they grow they are
imbued with a superstition that if they
reveal the locality of a mine they will
quainted with the Indian character
this statement may seem incredible,
but any prospector or miner in the
Sierra. Madre will affirm its truth.
Large sums of money have been offer
ed the Pimas to tell where the lost
mine is. They scorn money and the
only open sesame is mescal, by the
liberal use of which the Indian may be
made to disclose many things. but so
far he has held inviolate his vow to
reveal to no man the famous Talopa.-

have a chance to see their team in ac-
ton until after the season is three
weeks old. When they do arrive at
their home, however, they will have a
new park to play in which has been
fitted out at quite an expense.
Denver will undoubtedly have
good team next year. Every player on
the team has been reserved and the
management expects to have no diff
fculty in arriving at satisfactory terms
with all the men whom they desire
for their next seasons team. OF their
old players Zalusky. Engle, McHale,
Weigart, Baden, Adams and Wright
are sure of jobs for the coming season.
The rest of the team will probably be
composed of new players of whom
youngsters on the string. Patsy
Bohannon, a former Denver player but
who played the greater part of last
season with Jimmy Burke in Kansas
City, will likely be on the team next
season and he can be used at good ad-
vantage on either first or in the box
Wheeler will probably play third.
Belden will be used in the outfield
with McHale and another man to play
right field is all that is needed in the
outfield. Reddick, promising young
ster, has signed and will probably play
an infield position. With another
pitcher and a catcher the Denver team
looks pretty good.
Wheeler, who was seen in Topeka
last spring with the ST. Paul team. will
manage the team in all probability.
Wheeler is good man and has been
in business a good many years and
knows the game all the way through,
which is the most important factor in
a pennant race.
While in Topeka the Denver team
will use Topeka's grounds and for the
first few days the two teams will work
out together.

TO TRY OUT HERE
Denver Baseball Team to
Practice in Topeka.
Ordered to Report Here on
March %.
SOME GOOD PLAYERS.
InSures Some Excellent Early
- Ball for Capital City.
Will Play First Game Here on
March 80.

Topeka will be the training ground
of the Denver team of the Western
league this spring. Rumors have been
going the rounds to this effect for
some time but it was not until a few
days ago that definite announcements
to this effect emanated from Denver.
Several other towns have had their
eyes on Topeka as their first training
ground for some time. but Denver
beat them all to it. Manager Roy
Runcie of the st. Paul team of the
American association was in Topeka
some time ago looking over the ground
with a view of bringing his team to
Topeka for their spring practice, but
since the announcement that Denver
would come here. the st. Paul man
ager has decided to have his men re-
port in Leavenworth.
The members of the Denver team,
who are known as Grizzlies will re-
port in Topeka on March 25. After
working out few days and working
off the winters accumulation of super
fluous avoirdupois. the team will play
their first game with Topeka, Satur-
day, March 80. They will also play
second game on Sunday.
The team will leave Topeka Tues
day, April 2, and will go to >Hutchin-
SON, where they will play a series of
three games with Jay Andrews Salt
Packers. They will go from Hutchin-
son to Wichita where three games will
be played with the Wichita Jobbers.
After their trip to the Windy City,
the Grizzlies will come back to To-
peka for three games. This ought to
give a pretty good line on the relative
standing Of Topeka with Wichita and
Hutchinson in case Topeka remains
in the Western association.
Denver will go to Kansas City after
their second engagement in Topeka
and will play their cousins on Te-
beau's Kansas City Blooz team April
10 and IA. A trip to Burlington
where a game Will be played with the
Burlington team of the Iowa State
league will end the season of ante
season games and the Grizzlies ac-
cording to a schedule which is now
being arranged for the Western league
In case it is decided that the league
will remain circuit of six clubs with
out Topeka and St. Joseph, will open
the season in Des Moines April IS.
Denver will play at Omaha, Lincoln
Sioux City and Pueblo, before the team
plays a single game in their home
town and the Denver fans will not
