One OF the cleverest little BAH

and the exhibition they put up on sun
day last was an eTe-opener to the
GOOdland ball public All they lack
to place them in the fastest possible
company is weight and age, yet for
clever team work. and brilliant indfv1-
dual plays they eEcelled anything
that has ever been seen at the Athe-
ietic park in this city They worked
as unit at the drop Of the hat by
the cOachers and Il was an interesting
feature to see them one and all keep
an eagle eye on this eoacher, who had
signs for every imaginable play-for
steals-fOr sacrifice hits-bunts, etc
Up to the fourth inning on Sunday
Denver looked winner, and one
fan who had bet two to one on Coco
land hedgeds and secured q bet Of the
other way In the fourth MOrehead
banged out a home run, and from that
time on, GOOdland got together, and
never once were in danger The Arhe-
letiCs played like giants and won
warm admiration from their home
town
Stats Slater pitched a swell game,
and he himself never felt in danger
as to the outcome Burkhart, the
Denver pitcher, was q wonderful
pitcher for his size and age, and the
way he slammed them down to sec
Ond and first to catch q runner was a
caution. His genial smile won him

RECOVERED MISSING TRUNK
FOUND IN THE POSSESSION OF
WILLIAM BOWERS.
Property OF D. W Stapp, Whose
Trunk and Contents Were
Taken October 20 1906.

william Bowers, a railroad en-
plOyes was arrested Tuesday and ar
raigned before Justice Of the Peace
Peraieu, charged with grand larceny.
He pleaded not guilty, but the evil
dence warranted the justice in bind
ing the defendant over to the district
court for trial at the July term
The Offens6 charged IS that Of steal
ing a trunk from the railroad plat
form on October 20, 1906, the prop
erty Of W d Stapp. now OF Phillips
burg The possible whereabouts Of
the stolen trunk and contents, which
was valued at $350, was cleaned in
some way by Mp Stapp, and he at
once came to GOOdiand, secured a
search warrant TO enter William Bow
ers home, a little residence just north
ed was found and a part Of the con-
tents recovered Mr. Stapp identified
the trunk and then made complaint
of larceny against Bowers
The preliminary hearing in the case
was held at the Office OF Justice Per
dieus and the evidence offered at Z
o'clock D. m Tuesday. 9. l. Cal
vert, county attorney, appeared for
the state The defendant was not rep
resented by counsel, but pleaded not
guilty.
From what can be learned, the in
formation leading to the recovery Of
the stolen trunk is said TO have orr
ginated in a quarrel between Bowers

the theft and reported the matter to
Mr.. Stapp-
About a year ago, a trunk was stOI-

and has never been heard from 1t
was the property Of Engineer Henry
Adams, and he tried in every way to
get some clue to the whereabouts Of
the trunk but was not successful Mr.
Adams and his wife were expecting to
90 away the day the trunk was taken
for a visit to relatives in Horton The
trunk contained many valuable things,
clothing and furnishings, and some
fine presents, which were to be pre-
scented at a wedding they attended
while away.
The theft Of such property as a
trunk Of ones personal effects is not
only a felony but il Is an aggravauOn
Of the keenest sort The greatest di-
1gence ought to be put forth to ap-
Drehend the offender and to apply the
remedy without stint or moderation
In saying these things, we have no
reference TO Mr.. Bowers, who is to
be presumed innocent until proven
guilty. What the people are after, is

A strong bright thread Of the low

There is one exceptional point to
be noted in this company. and that Is
the strength Of the minor paris, which
rivaled the leading characters
Harry L Beck, who played the
funny Dutchman In Her Fatal Er-

hit in his role, played Alexander Fair

Frank Manning and George Wright
were also much appreciated The work
of Wright at times drew forth ap-

The bright and bewitching girl that
played Bessie Fairfax wore her part
splendidly- She is fun OF frOlic and
fun on the stage, and does it as natur-
ally as would the brightest Of girls in
the real relations of life.
This company stands high IN the es-

plays, and some doubt If they have
been excelled by any other troupe

Unwarranted Stories About Small Pox
Are Widely Spread


GOOdland business men are patient
and are willing always to accord to
outsiders the benefit Of doubt, In al
cases where public health might be
at stake II people prefer 20 stay
away from town on account Of q rea-
sOnable fear OF disease. there viii be
no kick coming from the merchants.
But they now think that patience must
yield to a higher duty, and that the
doubt must be run down and the facts
known False reports have been
spread to the effect that GOOdland has
between 100 and 200 cases OF small
pOx and travelling men are even afraid
to come to GOOdland- They have
heard in towns down the line that
GOOdland is Quarantined, and the sis
ter towns keep up the howl apparent
" for the sole purpose OF injuring
business interests here.
To ascertain the facts, the business
men OF GOOdland called on DR.. F. H
Smith, health officer, and found the
doctor in the same mood as themselves,
exaSperated over the malicious repre-
sentatiOn- Dr.. Smith said he was mad
enough to fight about IL, and then
told the business men that there are
now only light actual cases OF small
pOx in GOOdland; that there never
were more than twenty cases at any
time, and the disease has never raised
z serious question in his mind He
also said that there has not been a
case here this year serious enough TO
keep the patient belfast
So that all this scare and clatter by
some our own people about small pOX
is the merest rot If you can't say
good about your own town,
then say nothing. Knockers are al
ways pounding down the efforts OF a
community TO go ahead, when If they
would boost they would be benefited
with all the rest If you can't boost,
don't knock, and above all, tell the
truth, if you tell anything. We shall
hope to hear a cessation Of this IN
necessary small pox garbage. 1t hurts
the town, hurts her business interests
and drives people away when there IS
not the least danger from small pOE
or anv other disease
