Enters Store Of a Morehead
Merchant at Night
And at RevOlver's Point Secures
Days Receipts.
CAPTURED ABOUT S1OO
Political Meeting Going on in a
Hall Overhead.
The Crowd Adjourned But Fail
ed to Find Thief.

Chanute, Oct. 29.-The Tribune says:
While w. r. Cline of Erie the Demo-
cratic candidate for district judge, was
putting the peroration on the political
address which he made in Morehead
last night, he met with an unusual in
terruption. A man rushed into the
room. his face blanched with anger and
his hair standing like quilts on a fret
ted porcupine with excitement.
I've been held up" he shouted
"Come and help me catch the villain -
The victim of the holdup was Ed
Lockhart, proprietor Of the Corpora
tive store in Morehead. The store is
on the first floor OF the building in
which the speaking was held and 4
took place at a time when there were
100 people or more in the second story
Of the building.
Mr.. Lockhart had closed business for
the day. but had not locked UP, so that
the robber had no trouble in effecting
an entrance. Mr.. Lockhart was check
ing up the days business. and making
ready to put the receipts in the iron
safe, when the front door opened
noiselessly and he was interrupted by
the command.
Hold UP your hands, quick, and
don't let me hear yeep out of you"
He looked up and there was q. man
volver leveled straight at his head. The
mans face was hidden by a handker-
chief tied over his countenance. He
took what money Mr.. Lockhart had
about $9o-and left. AS soon as he was
gone Mr.. Lockhart went up stairs and
gave the alarm.
His appearance there caused consid-
cradle excitement. There were women
in the audience. and they became
frightened, so Mr.. Cline, who was just
concluding his speech, stopped right
away. and the meeting closed. The
men hurried down stairs, but could find
no trace of the robber. The night was
dark, and II had swallowed him up.
The Robber Caught.
Cherryva1e, Kan, Oct. 29.-Marsfal
Watson has arrested Floyd Reeves, IS,
charged with holding up Ed Lockhart
at Morehead the previous night and
robbing him of 500. Reeves was paroled
from the Hutchinson reformatory Au-
gust is, having been sent up from
Cherryvale two years ago for forging
a check. Reeves confessed.

MISSOURI A TRIFLE WEAK.
Tigers Are Shy on Good Quarterback
Material

Columbia, Mo-. Oct. 29.-Missouri's
showing last Saturday against the
weak Westminster college team was
far from pleasing to the coaches and
rooters. The game in itself was con-
sidered no more than a practice bout,
but it served a more serious purpose
and showed up some real weaknesses
that the Tiger coaches must correct or
resign themselves to defeat at the
hands of Ames next Saturday.
In the first place the Tigers are un-
doubtedly shy on good quarterback
material, and have only one reliable
man at the pivotal position-Deather-
age. In the first half of Saturdays
game Deatherage ran the team UP and
down the field through the collegian
eleven as if the team were INDUCING in
its daily signal practice in the first half.
In the second half, however, Deather-
age was replaced by Williams. Trow-
bridge and Saunders in succession. and
all of them showed up in poor form,
comparatively.
The Tigers are. still weak in the
kicking department of the game.

MILK FAMINE THREATENED.
Atchison Dairymen Are Worried Over
High Price of Feed.

Atchison, Kan, Oct. 29.--There is a
threatened milk famine in Atchison
and the canned variety is likely to have
an inning. 1t Is not impossible that
those fortunate people who own a COW
are on the road to independence and
luxury. Mr.. Adams. the nilkman. who
has one of the best diaries in the couu-
try near Atchison yesterday, had to
skip SO of his customers. 1t seems that
feed being so high has caused many
people to sell their COWS and the hot
dry summer has ruined all the pasture
so that the above result is the outcome
Mr.. Adams yesterday telephoned to st.
Joe and could not get a drop of milk.
Cows seem hard to get and the milk
men are feeling pretty serious about
their business. Mr.. Adams has notf-
fed his customers that next time their
milk tickets are out he can only give
them IL quarts for one dollar. Il am
giving customers preference where
know there are babies he said, 1.-The
little ones must have milk and I try
to serve these customers first"

GOODS NEWS FOR MICHIGAN.
F'ullbacE Watkins, Injured Two Weeks
Ago, to Return.

Ann Arbor, Mich, Oct. ga re-
port made today that Watkins will be
back in the lineup after the Wander
bilt game has added considerably to
the hopes of the Michigan rooters.
Watkins received an injury to his
head in the Michigan Agricultural
game two weeks ago and it was feared
he would not be able to play for the
remainder of the season. His physi-
clan, DR.. Waldron, said this evening
that the players condition was i'm
proving as rapidly as could be expect
ed. and with a rest of a week, he prob
ably would be entirely recovered.
The returned of Watkins will clear
up the problem as to right end.
Though he has been playing tackle
this season. he viii be put into his old
place at full, left vacant by Edmunds.
This will allow Dawson to be moved
to right end to replace Ranney.

HAND IN BAD SHAPE.
Nelson VIII Probably Not Be Able to
Fight Before March,

New York, Oct. 29.--In spite of the
announcements that promoters are
trying to get Battling Nelson in the
ring with Packey Mcfarland for a six
round bout, friends of the battler in
this city say he will be unable to en-
ter the squared circle again before
next March. This is because of an
injury to his right hand, sustained in
his last bout with Joe Cans. One of
the bones in the hand, just behind the
knuckles, was fractured in the con-
test and has healed so slowly that it
will keep him from using the mem
Der in any strenuous fashion for some
time.
Nelson wired to promoters here
that he would be willing to meet Nc
Farland. He sent this word from
the train before he left for Boston via
Albany He did not specify the time,
however, and promoters here were
reported as falling over each other to
get bout which could not be
scheduled for the immediate future.
When Nelson was here it was found
that the fractured bone had risen
from its normal position and made
ridge in the back Of the hand just
behind the knuckles.

line material is the poorest since that
year. At the close of the football sea-
son of 1907, seventeen men were pre-
sented with the &C. insignia All but
elk of these have either graduated or
are ineligible or have failed to return.
Three of the remaining six "C'' men
played regularly on last years team
and three were substitutes. The names
of these men are as follows:
Captain Steffen, 15S pounds, quar-
terback.
Iddings, 1853 pounds, halfback
Page, $50 pounds, end.
The substitutes were:
Hoffman, $50 pounds tackle.
Schommer, 173 pounds, end.
Worthwine, 165 pounds, guard.
A valuable addition to this has ar
rived in the person of Tom Kelly, 100
pounds, who played tackle on the 1905
team. Kelly was laid up with rheu-
matism last year, and was unable to
return to college. He has still some
trouble with his "sciatioa, but is
hopeful that it will not seriously
bother him this season. In new ma
terial Chicago is quite badly off. The
freshman class last year was the poor
est in football material for good
many years and to add to our discom-
fort a number of the freshman players
have failed to qualify from a scholastic
standpoint We have two promising
players in Rogers, $50 pounds. cap
tain of the 1911 team, who will be
useful either as a subquarter, half
back or end, and Crowley, 1913 pounds,
who looks good for the back field.
There are two heavy pieces of line
material in Smith. 1875 pounds, who
is very fat and young; and Boh1ander,
185 pounds. who is slow and green 1t
is likely that neither of these men
will be able to FIJI the position in the
line unless they develop. much faster
than it appears possible from their
present showing. The chances now
seem to indicate that the extra line
positions will be filled from last years
scrub team.
Badenoch. 173 pounds. has had one
years experience playing center
against the varsity, and shows prom
Use of holding the position, Ehrhort,
1913 pounds, was also on the scrub
team last year, and is quite likely to
win a regular position in the line this
coming year. The real hope of the
season lies in the football ability of
the veteran members of the team.
Taken all in all. in my opinion. there
is no quarterback in the country who
is quite the equal of Captain Steffen.
