Preliminary Testimony.
The preliminary testimony Of
James Calvert, the thirteen year old
boy, who found the unconscious body
OF the Dockray boy, Of his father
and mother, Mr.. and Mrs. Ward Cal
vert, OF z. z. Savage, Mrs. Arch
Ward and one or two others describ-
ed the finding OF the body and care
of It. The Calvert hoy saw the naked
body Of tha, - -lglng motioness
on the ground near the Rock Island
Y over "a block from any house. q,
u. Savage and others came as soon
as the news was given out by Ward
Calvert.
The boy, when picked up by Saw
age and others, made slight move
ments and groaned from pain. His
face was a mass of gashes and clotted
blood and his hair was matted with
blood. He was taken down town and
DR.. McMeans treated him. All the
witnesses who had seen the boy at
the track testified that there was no
sign or bloody traces up to the place
or of wagon or buggy tracks that
attracted notice,
DR.. McMeans described the ten
cuts and gashes on the boys face
and head. He said the boy talked
during the examination but owing to
the cut across his mouth, the words
we're unintelligibe. He did not re-
cover consciousness. The wounds
were such as might be made by a
sharp instrument like a narraw
Ratchet, were uniformly about two
inches in length The wounds on
the head caused death by blood
pressure on the brain. The boys back
when he was found was severity sun
burned. TWO hours Of exposure
would have sunburned but the eX-
tent to which the boy was blistered
showed that he must have been ex-
nosed to the sun for ten or twelve
hours. There was no blood on the
body and there we're no bruises caus-
ed by his being moved or dragged
The blows we're apparently struck
by right handed man and the first
struck were apparently in front
while the boy could have been stand
ing up.

REAL WHEAT COUNTY.
Ford County in the Million BusheI
Class and Ready for Another Step,

Ford County in the Million BusheI
Glass and Ready for Another Step,
According to the report Of wheat pro-
duction for the state for the year 1907,
compiled by Secretary OF Agriculture
Coburn, the wheat crop for the year will
total upwards of seventy million bushels.
Some very surprising changes la the order
In which counties rank In the matter
of production are noted by this
report.
For instance Sumner ccunty which has
with possibly an exceplsion Of one or two
years, ranked first drops a way down
having only 1,sO0,O ,OO0 bushels to Its credit
this year. Its usual production Is In the
nelghborhood of five millions. Barton
county holds its old place at the second
station, Willie Pratt ranks third. Reno
county leads with nearly three million
bushels. The were twenty eight counties
which produced in excess Of one million
bushels Ford county ranks twenty.
second with l,l4l 1855 bushels.
Ford Is generally considered one Of the
real wheat counties OF Kansas.
Any county that this year produced up
wards Of a million bushels of wheat when
the conditions of early spring are recalled
Is entitled to the dlstlction Of being a
real wheat county and with the Increasing
acreage each year Ford county is headed
or the top and going at good pace.

STERILIZE THE WATER
Experts Declare Water Here just
Now Is uusafe to be Used.


I A week or to ago samples Of the city
water we're taken from Dodge City to the
State University to be examined. The
water was found to be unfit for
use for domestic purposes. The mayor
has been warned by the state health
authorities Of the condition OF the
water here and no doubt will take
the matter In hand ut once In
the present condition single case Of
typhoid fever In the region which drains
towards the city wells might spread an
epidemic Of the disease oyer the entire
city in few days. As It Is now, sick
ness of some kind can scarcely fail TO re-
suit, unless all of the water used Is steri-
lized before using. The health au-
thorities have recommended the inn
mediate removal Of some Of the causes Of
the waters pollution aud advise good
draining Of the territory west Of the wells
and the sinking OF deeper wells for the
supply Of city water.
The Globe Republican gave severa
warnings In regard 10 thls matter a
year or more ago, but nothing has ever
been done. Since the state authorities
and the city authorities have certain
knowledge ofthe danger the city Is in it
wou. d seem likely that some move will
be taken. The character OF the infor
nation which comes from the health au-
thoritles Is enough to scare most any
body into action.

I. FAIR NEXT WEEK.
Have Your Exhibits Ready. Every
body Ought to Attend.

TIdv6i IOuV GNUlpito ncouy' AvS'yT
body Ought to Attend.
Apparently, the only thing necessary
now to make the Ford county fair a
success 10 for the people to bring ip their
exhibits. The fair COMMITTEES have
been hurtlIng this week 10 raise the
money for the premiums and have been
successful In providing funds.
The business men who have been
pushing on the fair have had their coats
or, working on this public enterprise
with all Of the energy possible. They
have had all kinds Of difficulties to con-
tend with and will have the fair In .
shape where all that is necessary for its
complete success Is that the exhibits are
furnished aud la good attendance present
TO see them and entertainment provided
each day.
One Of the difficulties encountered
was in the sale Of privileges. The best
privilege to be sold at meeting OF
this kind is for merry go-round. That
is the feature that takes In the money
and can afford to pay for a privliedge.
The Reuaion recently cold this privilege
to the Parker carniyal company, and the
private owners who might have made
both meetings at Dodge City have ar.
ranpements at other places for next
week. No merry round could be &C.
cured Oh any terms for the fair. Some
Of the members Of the fair association,
to get around this drawback, formed q
company, aud raised funds to buy a
merry 20 round. Sam Stubbs, W. Wat
son and W. e. Teare, went to Abilene
as a purchasing committee, and con-
tracted for fine outfit, 10 be shipped
tomorrow. They even met difficulties
after they reached Abilene. The Parker
company had no such outfit as was de-
sired for shipment. To meet the emer-
gency the entire factory force was put to
work night and day to get one ready for
shipment In time for the fair.
Tue committee to raise funds for the
premium list were also hard at work and
they report that that part Of the arrange
,ments are ready. All Of this work has
fallen upon few men and they haye
shown 90 much emery, determination
and public spirit that everybody 10 the
county should feel like attending the
.fair each day. .Mhat.ia wanted now is a
big REPRESENTATION In the stock and agri-
cultural, and other exhibits, and attend.
ance from all over the county.
The people generally over the county
haveIaskedeach year fora complete county
fair with the agricultural exhibits and,
everything usually included in such a
meeting. That is what the association
will give them this year. All that Is
necessary Is for the people to do their
part. Now Is the time to encourage such
a fair. 1t wfll help the county In many
ways. Don't be Indifferent. Beon hand
and help start real county fair on a big
scale.
For those that take an interest In
racing a very fine program Is assured,
and we are informed thatEthere will be
plenty and a variety of amusements for
everybody. The Dodge City band has
been engaged to play for the fair, and
also to give concerts in the park each
evening during the meeting.

$50 FINE FOR
PLUME ON HAT

NEW ORLEANS, March 27.-By
decision sustaining fine of $50
against N. l.. Schwartz, it is es-
tablished that the mere use of an
aigrette plume on woman's hat
in this state is an offense against
the state law which prohibits the
killing of the egret or crane, from
which these plumes are obtained.
The existence of an aigrette
plume In hat Is accepted as a
prima facie evidence of violation
of the law. The courts opinion is
that, because of the remote feeding
ground Of the egret, it is impossi-
BILE to inforce the law by holding
only those who are caught in the
act of killing the bird. The pro
lection afforded the bird by the
statute must be broadly construed.
Women, therefore, run the risk
of stiff fine by having the plume
on their hatA
