Rev. Ford left Wednesday for an in
definate trip to the old world, first to
Rome, Italy and then up through the
continent of Europe to England, spend
ing considerable time in Naples, Flor
ence, Venice and Milan, Italy and from
thence through Switzerland, France
and England. The splendid reception
given by the citizens of Denver together
with the members of the various church
es Thursday night of last week at Zion
Baptist church evidenced the esteem in
which the departing pastor was held by
all classes of people irrespective of de
nominations. He left Denver after
more than seven years of service with
kind word for every one and every one
had kind word for him. The white
ministers conference of Denver, of
which he was member, extended him
banquet Friday, April 9th at the hotel
Albert at which the parting message of
the clergy of the city was given. 1t has
been the expressed hope and wish of the
public in general that Rev. Ford will re-
turn to Denver and resume his labors
with the church of the West.

THEY FUSS OVER AN OFFICE.
Two Ffnney County Citizens Desire to
Be Treasurer.

Garden City, Kan, Oct. 10.-An
echo of the excitement of the election
of county officers last year was mani
fest in the court house Wednesday
when H v. Lawrence refused to turn
over the office of county treasurer to
A. C. Wheeler, who was declared elect
ed by a majority of some forty votes
by the election board. who received the
certificate of election from the COM
missioners on the returns and whose
claim to the Office has been sustained
by the contest court and the district
court.
At the meeting of the board of coun-
Nv commissioners, the bond of Mr..
Wheeler was approved and later in the
dav when the bond of Mr.. Lawrence
was filed the board rejected it. Mr..
Wheeler appeared at the office of the
county treasurer in person yesterday
and demanded that the books and
moneys be turned over to him. Mr..
Lawrence refused to do this. Then
Colonel w. r. Hopkins, attorney for
Mr. Wheeler, made this proposition:
That Mr. Wheeler or. deputy whom
he should appoint should go into the
office and remain there as county
treasurer without pay until such time
as the supreme court should render
decision on the contest case which was
appealed by Mr.. Lawrence's attorneys.
When the decision is given, then the
take the office and draw the salary for
the time intervening.
Mr. Lawrence also refused this
proposition. AS his bond expired at
the close of his last term and the board
did not approve the new bond he Of
fered, he is now holding the Office
without a bond.

renee next year. Kansas doesn't care
much whether the game is played here
or at Columbia. The only reason that
Lawrence would be a better place this
Thanksgiving day there is no game at
Topeka, while next fall Topeka will be
the scene of the Northumberland
game This year Lawrence could draw
the Topeka crowd on Thanksgiving day.
No word has yet been received from
Missouri on the question. According to
reports. the Tigers say Columbia or
Kansas City. Kansas considers Kan
very probable that if the Missourians
offer Columbia the K. U. athletic board
will accept. With Missouri at Law
renee next year, the schedule would be
better balanced, as Kansas plays Ne
braska at Lawrence this year and at
Lincoln next year. The chief objection
tic playing the Thanksgiving game here
this year is that it is doubtful whether
Lawrence can support two big football
games in one month.
While the athletic board is worrying
over the question. Coach Kennedy is
spending most of his time wondering
how he can strengthen his backheld. In
all probability Stephenson will be
moved from guard to fullback in Sat
urday's game against st. MaryS. Reed
will be taken from center and put in
Stephenson's old place while Milton will
go back to center. Random or Steel,
who has been subbing for Angney at
quarter, will be used at end. The Kan
sas line is fairly satisfactory. Several
good men, who are under the ban on
account of study failures, are in the
university. If these failures can be
Strengthened out, there will be more
candidates trying for backfield posi-
lions.

ENGLISH FIGHTERS HERE.
Two of John Bulls Natives Want
Matches.

New York, Oct. 10.-Two more
English fighters have come to this
country with the avowed intention Of
cleaning up the American fighters in
their respective classes. They are
Owen Moran and Pat O'Keefe.
Moran is not unknown to followers
of pugilism here, for he came over
once before, and won the only two
fights he had. He defeated Monty At
tell and Danny Dougherty, and now he
says he wants to meet Abe Attell. Mo-
ran is the bantam weight champion of
the world, but he has grown since his
first visit here, and he declares that he
can defeat Atten for the featherweight
title.
Patsy O'Keefe is an unknown guam
tity over here. He is a welterweight
and holds the welterweight champion
ship of ireland. His object is to induce
Young Ketchell, Joe Thomas, or Mike
(Twin) Sullivan to fight him.
The fighters arrived in this country
on board the New York last week and
are accompanied by ALI Wicks, the vet
eran English trainer and manager OF
pugilists. Wicks brought Johnny Sum-
mers over here, and the latter proved
to be one of the best youngsters that
ever came to the shores from John
Bulls island.
