Shooting ARRAY at Westsate.

Tie little town of Westgate was
much wrought up over the shooting
affair that took place west OF that
village Sunday about l O'Clock p. m.
A number of the boys went to the
timber to hunt and take dinner at
John Culver's home. In some way
Will Roberts and Culver got into a
dispute about a record of phono-
graph, when Culver took it from the
machine and threw it at Roberts
which caused words and blows. Roberts
ana the other boys went out and
started to hitch their horses to their
buggies for home. Culver took down
his gun and started after them saying
he would kill Roberts who. with
Clint Shaffer. was hitching the horse.
He fired three shots from the porch at
them shooting them in the face. They
at once drove to Westgate.

wild Man" Comes 10 Town.

Farmers thought they had found the
missing link when number of them
saw a nearly nude man in the woods,
who, when approached would disap-
pear among the trees, apparently able
to elude all pursuit. His hair reached
below his shoulders, and his face was
covered with full and ragged beard.
For five weeks he had been seen at
intervals but never at close quarters
until Thursday, when he came to the
house of Frank Johnson and asked for
food. The man is evidently dement,
ed. but gave intelligent answers to
questions. saying his home was in
New York, and he had decided to live
in the pines for his health. Mr..
Johnson will give him shelter until
relatives in New York can be COM
municated with. He is mild temper

put clothes on him. consenting to do
so only when food was withheld.

Escaped From Jail.

A week ago there was Jail delivery
at West Union, when j. w. Blair,
alias Frank Moore. and William
Mullen, alias Charles Nichols, made
their "get away" and. although re-
ward of twenty-five dollars has been
offered for their capture by Sheriff
Culver. they have not yet been ap-
pretended Both men were under an
indictment for burglarizing a store
at Arlington and from the boldness
of the escape and their ability to keep
out of reach OF. the officers. it is. thought
they are criminals with a record.
One of the men had been assisting the
janitor in cleaning the court house
and when he was returned to the Jail
he unexpectedly assaulted the man who
had him in charge. HIS partner came
to his assistance and they soon had the
janitor on the floor. Mrs. Culver
heard the commotion in the Jail and
ran to give assistance when she was
knocked down. The janitor had a good
hold on one OF the fellows and was
trying to detain him when he pro-
duced revolver from his pocket and
fred couple of shots in the direction
Of the man who was holding him.
Fortunately the bullets went wide of
the mark but they accomplished their
purpose aud the fellow escaped and
the two ran through the court house
yard and into the gathering darkness
and were soon out of sight.
1t is thought they had friends on
the outside who assisted them and
gave them revolvers. At any rate
they have not Teen seen or heard of

OPINION A LONG ONE.

Olathe. Kan, Oct. 30.-Judge Shell
don of the district court in this city
yesterday held that playing baseball on
SUNDAY was a violation of law.
His opinion covered fourteen type
written pages and came up on a ,oe-
1nurrer to an information filed by
County Attorney Thorne against Ernest
Prather, one of the Olathe Eagles
players. The opinion went back to the
constitution of the state in arriving at
the intention of the legislatures or

Judge Sheldon referred to the dis
cussion of the courts of Nebraska,
Michigan. North Carolina. Arkansas.
Ohio and New York as not agreeing
with the supreme court of Missouri ana
closed as follows:
''That baseball is game ana that
persons who engage in playing such
game on Sunday violated the plain
provisions of section 257, and that L
have no right to shrink from the duty
of clearly expressing my opinion re-
garding the provisions of said section
in deciding this motion, although the
opinion does not correspond with tne
opinion of the supreme court OF MIS-
souri,, and the motion to quash the IN
formation will be overruled-
The case will come up for trial In
January and will be no doubt carried u

victory last night when he knocked out
Freddie Weeks OF Cripple Creek, in the
fourth round of what was to have been
20 round bout.
Weeks was no match whatever for
Attell and the champion had him at
his mercy all the way through In the
first round before the fight had pro-
crossed as much as a minute Attell
sent swift right cross to Weeks jaw
and the Cripple Creek boy staggered
back dazed and lettering. 1t was evil
dent to every spectator that Attell
could have knocked him out then with
out effort, but he refrained from doing
so. He punched his staggering oppon-
ent with light jabs with both hands and
Weeks hung tightly. The referee sep
arated them several times, Weeks
clinging to Attell closely. When the
round had ended the Cripple Creek boy
was weak and groggy.
The succeeding two rounds were tame
and uninteresting. In the fourth round
Attell suddenly walked in and sent a
stiff right punch straight from the
shoulder to the point of the jaw. Weeks
staggered and fell to the mat. He rose
to his feet slowly as the referee count
ed and AtteH knocked him down again
with another vicious rap. Weeks rose
slowly and AttelI knocked him down
twice more. AS Weeks lay on the mat

Result of Washburn-K. e. Game
Is Uncertain.
Coach Weede and His Men Not
Over Confident.
KENNEDYWORKS HARD
$ That He Has No
Walkaway.
Realizes
One Thousand hooters Coming
From Lawrence.

Neither the Washburn squad nor
the Jayhawker bunch were able to get
any practice work yesterday on ac-
count of the wet grounds on both the
Washburn and McCook fields. The
weather at the present time is poor
weather for football practice as the
fields are heavy and the men can not
get their plays off at all with any sort
of precision. Then the present wealth
er is altogether too conducive to lame
limbs and Charley horses" and other
ailments demoralizing to a football
player.
For this reason Coach Weede of the
Washburn squad did not allow his
men to don their suits last night but
kept them indoors. All the men were
ready to practice but Weede thought
it advisable to keep them off the field.
Instead they remained in the football
quarters where Coach Weede gave
them chalk talk on the different
formations and ground into the heads
the theory of the game.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1907-10-30

At Lawrence the same conditions
prevailed and Coach Kennedy did not
allow his men to work out. Both
teams are anxious to get in all the
work they can and the present wealth
er may have the effect of dampentng
the ardor of the players on the two
teams.
One encouraging feature is the fact
that each team is afraid of the other.
The dope on the different games
played already this season favors
washburn, but neither the Blue nor
the Crimson and Blue consider the
other team anything but their
strongest rival. Both teams. on the
other hand, seem to think that they
stand a good chance OF winning and
are working hard to that end. If the
spirit of the different participants in
the big game foretells anything it will
be the finest struggle on western
gridiron this season.
Up to Saturday this will be the
hardest game either team has played.
All the games which K. U. has played
in this season have been rather easy
games, St Marys and Manhattan be-
ing their hardest opponents. Wash
burn has had no hard games and has
been able to roll up large scores on
every team which she has played this
season For Washburn this will I'M
doubtedly be the biggest game, unless
the game with Benny Owens Sooners
Thanksgiving Day proves to be a
harder battle, which is not at all like
ly Kansas, on the other hand. has

many hard battles to go up against.
A week after the Washburn game she
has to play the strong Cornhusker
team at Lawrence. Another and no
doubt their hardest will be the game
with the wonderful football machine
of Coach Cochems at st. Louis Univer-
sity. Washburn's players will I'M
doubtedly be pointed for this game.
Kansas will also have a team which
will be on edge but they will have to
save little bit for the Nebraska game
a week later.
Washburn's large list of cripples
are improving slowly. 1t is almost a
certainty at the present time that
Robb will not play the right end.
Haughey is somewhat better and he
may be in shape to get into the game
Saturday. Coach Weede considers

fensive players in the state and if

Jack johnson and Jim Flynn to Box
Forty-fiye Rounds at Colma.

Colma, Cal. Oct. 30.-Next Saturday
the first heavyweight glove contest or
note since Al Kaufman defeated Nuke
Schreck will be fought here. The prin-
cipals are Jack Johnson, the dreaded
engro heavyweight, and Jim Flynn, the
westerner. Both are in active tra1nlng.
The men are scheduled to fight 40
rounds which makes it virtually I'm
ish contest. as both antagonists are
hard hitters, and the chances are small
against it going the limit.
The out has only all indirect bearing
on the championship of the giant di-
vision. If Flynn wins. johnson is elm
tinated from consideration, and Burns
will have to meet the white man in
stead of the negro. If Johnson batters
the wcstcrner into helplessness, 1t gains
him little prestige, as Flynn has never
been rated of championship caliber.
| FTvnn, however, has engaged in some
hard battles with Tommy Burns and
Jack CTwin) Sullivan, and his friends
insist that it was only the lack or op-
portunity which has kept him In
more or less obscure position IN the
ring.
They add that Flynn would never be
| sent against the fast hard-hitting ETH
| opian If they did not believe ne had an
even chance. He will get the chance
Saturday to show the qualities which
| 1T is said he possesses. Everybody
agrees that Flynn shows rare game
ness in tackling the man whom his

Johnson will very. probably enter the
ring an odds-on favorite because or his
natural advantages: Veteran ring au-

Johnson that he combines the clever
ness of Corbett with the punch of a

HIS RUN DISASTROUS.
Resulted in Cliff Carter Being Sent to

lola, Kan, Oct. 3O.-When Cliff Car
ter was making his escape from the
county jail last week. resulting in his
spending a few hours in a cornfeld and
on the run, he probably thought he
was improving his condition. AS a mat
ter of fact he made quite run, hav-
ing run from the reformatery at Hutch
inson to the state penitentiary at
Leavenworth. Judge F'oust had made
up his mind to send Cliff to the re-
formatory, but when Cliff came before
him the judge sent him to the peni-
Tertiary for from five to ten years on
the grand larceny charge and from one
to five years on the burglary charge. If
these are not enough there remain two
other penitentiary charges, stealing
shotgun and breaking Jail. When ask
ed. as is customary, if he had any
thing to say why he should not be sem
fenced, Carter said he had and tender
ed the court a manuscript. 1t is
statement of the trials he has endured
while In Jail, and alleges cruel treat
ment on the part of the officials. Judge
Foust glanced at the document long
enough to get an idea of it's contents
and then told Carter that his defense"
was irrelevant.

Independence Sheriff Makes What He
Regards as an Important Catch.


independence, Oct. 30.--An exciting
melee occurred yesterday on the train
between this city and Coffeyville. A
big, burly fellow, apparently a half
breed Indian and negro, was seated in
the smoking compartment He had
all the ear marks of a thorough going
crook His facial expression, size and
general demeanor were such as to ex-
cite suspicion. Presently he went to
sleep. But his sleep proved his un-
doing 1t was a sleep fatal to his lib
erty For from the rear of the car,
the intrepid little sheriff, Charley
Paxson, was seen to approach, having
been tipped off by the conductor
Reaching the seat in which this
beauty lay peacefully wrapped in
slumber the sheriff tapped him on the
shoulder. The man reused UP and
showed fight, but Paxson had him
dead to rights After little scuff1e
Paxson got the best of him. Upon
searching the man the sheriff found
two 3S-caliber Colt revolvers. inserted
in big A frames, and big. bunch of
''the steels''-skeleton keys which
seem to be this "errant knights" coat
of arms and cognizance.
