TORE TONGUE
FROM MOUTH

Rome, Sept. ga special Sicillan
secret service detective is on the track
of the perpetrators of a series of
diabolical murders which fairly out
do those of the Malta, whose work
ings Prof. Lombroso recently exposed
in the World. They have caught five
Mafiaists who had just executed a
blood curdling vendetta on boy,
Antonio Loparda, at Radlcena.
The lad of seventeen, whose father
is working in the United States, was
suspected of betrayihg to the police
the wereabouts of n notorious secret
society assassin. Antonio was way
laid, hurried to the forest and his
tongue torn from his mouth and
carved in four pieces, which were
pinned to his breast. Before the
avengers abandoned their youthful
victim they drove stilleto through
his heart. They pierced the body
with sixty-seven dagger wounds.

A HORRIBLE
EXPERIENCE

Chicago, Sept. ga special to
the Tribune from Dubuque, Iowa,
says:
To lie for ten hours in coffin, to
see through the glass covering over
his face. the glimmer of candles, was
the fate of Roy Lorraine, a student
of the Dubuque high school, who was
victim of frat" initiation.
The young man being of the nerve
less kind, was to be submitted to the
most trying ordeal. Gagged and
bound he was taken under cover of
night to farm house in the vicinity
of the city. Here he was escorted
to a cellar long in disuse and led
down the stairway. Candles were
lighted and placed about in inches
in the wall and young Lorraine,
blindfolded was induced to lie down
in what to him seemed a box and the
cover was fastened. The covering
soon was removed from his eyes and
he awoke to the realization that he
was in a coffin. There was sufficient
air to keep him from smothering and
he remained there through the night
Early in the morning he was released
by some of his friends.

realized for n considerable shipment
of pears on any market in the
world. IL is the record of records.
The Grand Junction Fruit Growers
association has shipped to eastern
markets this season so far, ten cars
of Buerre D'Anjou pears. Four of
these cars sold at private sale be-
fore they were shipped from Grand
Junction and the prices realized F..
o. b. Grand Junction were $3.50 to
$3.75 per box. These prices were top
notchers themselves and were highly
satisfactory. but Manager Moore
predicted that even better prices
would be realized on the remaining
cars which were not sold here. but
which were shipped east to be sold
on the auctions. His prediction has
certainly come true.
Yesterday the association re-
ceived a report stating that one car
of the pears sold at auction in New
York City brought $500 for the four
tier boxes and $4.70 for the five-tier
boxes. These prices will net the
growers $4.90 to $3.50 per box Who
will say that a pear orchad in the
valley of the Grand is not almost as
profitable as rich gold mine. $3.50
to $3.50 clear profit on box of
pears.

ELECTRICITY
AS CURE FOR
TUBERCULOSIS

Boston, Sept. Electricity as
an accessory in treating tuberculosis
has produced remarkable results, ac-
cording to a paper read here today
before the convention of the American
Electro-Therapeutic association by
DR.. Il. +. Strong, instructor In cleo
tro-therapeutics OF Tufts Medical
school, this city.
Although in use only during the
past year, the method is not an ex-
pertinent, because it has been salts
factory in every case, he said.
"A New Method for the treatment
of Pulmonary tuberculosis was DR..
Strong's subject. He said IL part;
'The use of electricity in its var
ious forms has unquestionably
proved of real efficiency in tubercu-
losis, not so much as specific cure
as a minor accessory to me lical or
hygienic treatment.
Currents of high frequency have
proved of special value and during
the last few years hundreds of cases
have been reported by eminent au-
thorities in which cures have result
ed from the application OF high fire.
uuency currents where these formed
the sole means employed for the
elimination of the disease.
THE satisfactory results of this
treatment in tuberculosis are large
" due to the profound increases in
tissue combustion and vaso-motor
action which these currents produce,
their peculiar vitalizing effect upon
the trophic nerves and to the stimu-
lating and garmicidal action by ozone
which is produced when the cleo
tricity is applied over the lung tis-
sues"

CAR LOAD OF FRUIT THAT EVER
WENT OUT FROM GRAND JUNO


These facts, and facts they are,
are as startling as they are true.
The returns on the other car load
shipments of these pears seLt east
to be sold at auction have not yet
been received, but it is believed
that the returns will be equally as
good as those received on this first
car load shipment.
In discussing the cantaloupe mar
ket the association officials declare
that the market is looking well. The
association has had no serious fall
down Oh any of the shipments and
excellent prices are being realized.
The prices realized SO far by the
association have averaged from S5c
to S1.25 box. These are fine prices
and are proving very satisfactory to
the growers. 1t is said that the
Grand Valley cantaloupe is out dis
tanctng the Rocky Ford product on
many markets and everywhere is liz
equally as great demand. 1t is be-
lieved that long before the season is
over still better prices than S5c and
S1.25 per crate will be realized.
The cantaloupe shipments are daily
growing heavier. Monday night four
full car loads were shipped out from
Clifton, this was the heaviest single
nights shipment of cantaloupes
made so far this season by the asso-
citation.
Take 1t all in all. The Grand juno
tion Fruit Growers association has
been wonderfully successful on ev-
er'' us of fruit it has handled this
season and the prices it has succeed
ed in securing for its growers have
been remarkable and record breal0=
ing. The association has had the
goods" it demanded the top notched
prices and it got them.

'RAH FOR SHARON!

The undefeated Alva team met
their Waterloo at Sharon Sunday
last, losing the game to Sharon by
score of II to 2.
Alva started off like sure win
ners in the first inning by Rumsey
getting by pitcher and White bring
ing him in with a two base hit, but
the next three were easy outs and
that ended Alva's run getting un-
til the sixth inning when they sue
ceeded in getting Museller over the
plate for another run.
Sharon put off the hard work OF
run getting until the 4th inning
when they put S over and then
kept up the pace throughout the
game.
The home boys out-played the
visitors in every detail of the game,
but the real feature of the game
was the battery work of Drauhard
and Clifton for Sharon, Drauhard
striking out II men and letting
down with 6 soft hits.

KICKED BY A MULR.

noon Monday in this city. He was
kicked by mule and run over by
a wagon and strange as it may
seem, no bones were broken. He
was at the rear of Benehel's hard
ware store when the accident hap :
pened. He had just loaded a piece
of machinery and was walking by
the side of the mule when it kicked
him, striking him on the nose and
knocking him down. At the same
time the mules started to run and
by reason of turning in the direc-
tion Mr.. Holmes laid, the hind
wheel of the wagon passed over his
hand and diagonally over the body.
MIR. Holmes did not lose conscious.
ness and was assisted to DR.. Dono-
vans Office where bis wounds were
dressed. His face and hand were
quite badly skinned and he is
naturally feeling the effects of the
accident but SO far no serious ef-
fects have appeared. Mr.. Holmes
certainly must be a good man to
go through all that so easily.

REPUDIATED TIE CONTRACT.

The Midland Bridge Company
of Kansas City which was given
the contract by the county COM
missioners May end to build steel
bridge at Kiowa for $5,o5o. 90.
notified County Clerk Ireland last
Thursday that it could not build
that kind of a bridge for that mon
ey and that the contract was can.
celled. A deposit of $50 was made
10y their representative, L. G. Speer,
when the bids were submitted and
contract awarded, and the com
pany asks that the money be re-
turned. County Clerk Ireland still
has the coin and will keep it until
the board disposes of it.
So far the board has done moth
ing in the way of entering into
another contract and probably
will do nothing until the June
meeting. Chas. Moffett, the Blod-
gett Cos agent,wa here on Friday
in consultation with the members
OF the board but no agreement was
reached.
The failure of the Midland COM
pany to live up to its contract looks
like child's play, and if there is any
warrant of law for it, it should be
made to forfeit its $50 deposit. II
its representative is such a poor
business man that he cannot figure
a profit on job, the company is at
fault in employing him, and a COM
pany that competes for business
owes it to thepublic to abide by the
terms OF a contract once made,
whatever the circumstances NAV
be. In other words, it should dc
business or take down its sign.

CITY AFFAIRS.

The mayor and council compIet.
ed the business coming before them
this month in an adjourned session
Friday night.
Regarding the waste-way prop
osition on the ditch at the Palmer
ranch, it was decided to put in ce-
ment crossing and embankment to
raise the low point and widen the
drainage ditch so as to carry away
all waste water. The work will
not be as costly as was at first
feared. The mayor and council
went over the ground on Friday so
that they were perfectly familiar
with the situation before taking
official action. Q
A petition headed by DR.. Kociell
and signed by practically all the
property owners on Kansas avenue
east was presented asking for cross
ings between Main street and the
court house, and the enactment of
an ordinance compelling property
owners on both sides of the street
that have not already put in ce-
ment pavements fronting their lots,
to do so at once. A resolution was
adopted that it is the sense of the
mayor and council to enact the or
dinance. The ordinance will prob
ably be enacted at future meet
ing unless the property owners af-
fected get busy ard put in walks
before the ordinance is passed.
An ordinance, published else.
where in the Index, was enacted
repeating ordinance No. IoI which
prohibited billiard and pool rooms
and bowling alleys. The new or
dinance provides for license of
$67 per year for each pool or bill
lizard table maintained and $1oo
per year for each alley. Minors
under the age Of 16 years are pro.
hibited from entering the halls or
alleys, no painted or screened win
dows are allowed and no gambling
or drinking of any kind are per-
mitted. A penalty of SIS to $25 is
provided for the viola ton of any
of the sections. On the first ballot
II. H. Case, A. B. Purdy and w. l..
Bragg voted for the ordinance, las.
Dobbs and R. R. Froman voting
against it. N.a
J. N. Tincher was appointed city
attorney.

WILL ALTER BRIDGE CROSSING.

On Friday Ed L. Peckham of the
D. E. & G. Ry. Co. met with the
committee appointed at the April
meeting by the county commission.
ers to pass on a plan to remedy the
Inconvenience and dangers that
might be caused by the bridge
crossing mile west of this city,
1t will be remembered that this
committee decided at the time oil
its appointment that the best rem
edy would be to take at least two
spans of piles out and put in steel
girders. Mr.. Peckham agreed to
use his best efforts to have this done
but said that since the bridge had
already been accepted by the rail
road company and had passed out
of the control of the builders he
doubted whether the change could
be made. At Fridays meeting he
informed the committee that the
company refused to make the
change, and he stated that if the
people of this community still re.
fused to accept the crossing with
improvements suggested in April,
the railroad company would be
compelled to put in a grade cross
ing so that it would be safe under
the law. A grade crossing at this
particular place would be more in
convenient than the present cross
ing even as it now stands and no
person who travels the road wants
it. Mr.. Peckham then proposed to
give the township 5000 and sufi-
cient piling to construct a wider
wagon bridge on the west side of
the crossing and the committee ac-
cepted the proposition, subject, of
course, to the approval of the town
ship and county boards.
The plan proposed is to cut out
two drive ways under the crossing
between two spans of piles, widen
the road on each side so that a four
horse team can make square turn,
extend the wagon bridge as far
south as the roadway limit and
build strong fence on both sides
so that team could not fall into
the gulch. 1t is estimated that
5000 will more than make these
improvements and with proper
grading the road will be in as good
shape as though the piling were
taken out and the road left in it's
present narrow condition.
Mr.. Peckham has turned the
money over to the county commits
Sioners who will be its custodian
until the township board calls for
it.
The township board has agreed
to accept the 5000 and piling and
will adopt the committees plans
in the matter of remodeling the
road and bridge, if no better plan is
devised for the same money.

The Barber County High Schoo
and Pratt High School base ball
clubs played the return game in
tins city on Saturday, resulting in
a victory for the home team. The
score was 10 to 6. This evens I'D
honors between the teams. The
B. G.. H. S. boys were defeated at
Pratt a week previous, the score
beng 2 to 3. In that game there
was some dissatisfaction among the
Medicine Lodge boys when it was
learned that Pratt's catcher was
not q High School man but a mem.
Der Of the first team of that city.
He earned two of the three scores
made by Pratt and really turned
the result. But since he played in
the tirst game, the B. C. Fl. S. BOYS
consented that he should. come here
to assist in the return game. He
came but the home team was pre-
pared for whatever additional
strength headed to the Pratt team.
The Pratt boys also brought an
other old and experienced player
who was not member of the
school but he was promptly ruled
out. They had a sufficient numb er
of men without him and they did
not press the matter very hard af-
ter they were called down. These
little irregularities do not advertise
the Pratt boys in a very favorable
way and they should ''cut it out"
Trlckery in ball game is a small
matter but it is wrong nevertheless
and from the viewpoint of principle
it is as much out of place as trick
cry in business. They should re-
member that honor and honesty is as
essential to clean sport in the same
degree that they are essential to
clean business.
The game played here Saturday
was a spirited one. Both sides
played fine ball; it was far better
game than the final figures indicat-
ed. A bad error on each side was
responsible for running up the
score. The early part of the game
looked dlscouraging for Medicine
Lodge. A wild throw to third in
the second gave Pratt a good lead
and up to the sixth inning it was
6 to in favor of Pratt. After that,
however, the visitors were shut out
and the home team got down to
business and they exemplihed the
strenuous life until they had 10
to their credit.
