Big Shoot.

Tuesday terminated the touana-
ment of the Missouri and Kansas Trap
Shooters League-the most successful
shoot from every standpoint, th-t has
ever been held in this city. The only
disappointment was in the number OF
shooters, Not as many took part
as were expected.
The shoot ended about 200 O'Clock
in the afternoon with Ed o'Brier
of Florence Kans., representative OF
the American Dead Shot Powder 20
professional high gun with a grand
total of 3SS birds broken out OF
possible 400. "Bin" Heer whose re
cosd was $50 out of possible 4O
inished a very close second.
With the amateurs, A. M. Mastins o
Kansas City whowas the amateur higl
man in both days Of the shoot, easil
won. Mr.. Mastin's record was 1888 ou
Of q possible 400. Eagan and Dixo

1t Was RichmOud's Dly.

1t was too bad. The Richmond
band will mosey back to the tall tim
Der with smile of triumph on their
handsome faces. The weather
was ideal, well, by the way 1t may
have been a trifle warm for the Lex
ington Society of Sportsmen. The
roofing was fierce, and the wrangling
and disputing continuous. Lexington
ought to have won; but for the first
five innings Cravens, the referee
from Richmond, showed that he had
about two cataracts on each eyei and
umpired accordingly with the Lex
ington boys on the short end of the
decisions. The local fans showed
their extreme displeasure by vehe-
ment language and Cravens was
forced to retire before their mighty
onslaught. His enviable position
was taken by Chas. Gibson who gave
satisfaction
The game, which most of the time
resembled a game Of nine pins, was
lost in the first inning. Cy Campbell
was wild and this combined with the
poor support he received, chalked VI
six counts for the gentlemen from
Richmond.
Gibson started the ill.heaving foi
the other fellows. In the fifth he wa
replaced by Davis, the south-paw, wh'
pitched the last game here. In thu
second round Pete Kinkead tool

Salurday a Busy Day.

Last Saturday the big stores of Lex
ington were kept hustling waiting on
customers. The special sale at
Fredendall and Wilson's drew large
crowds in every department. The
Steir Clothing Co. enjoyed its best
dav for several months. M. Ladeson
and Co. had to go some to handle
their trade. The Palace Mercantile
Company enjoyed good business.
The big stores of the Gratz Bros.
were filed with buyers all day.
Undoubtedly Saturday was the best
business day that Lexington has had
this summer.

A Paiaful Accident.

Miss Verda Lillian Kinkead met
with a painful accident Thursday
afternoon. She was trying to open a
bolted door, when she slipped and
fell against the door, running a knife
which she had in her hand more than
an inch into her breast. The wound
was dressed and Miss KinSead is now
reported as resting well with every
indication of early recovery. She
has not yet, though, completely re
gained composure from the nervous
shock incident to the accident.
A report was started that Mis-;
Kinkead attempted to commit suicide
out such statement is ridiculous.
