Saturday afternoon the locals sue
cumbed before the onslaughts of the
Denver Teddy Bears by a score of
to 0, the first shutout game Of the
season on the local ground In
ability to hit the Colorado slabbists
is the cause Of the initial application
of white wash to the locals.
The Denver twirlers, Messrs. Paige
and Olmstead. had everything going
their way throughout the contest
Only three hits were recorded from
their offerings and but one of these
was very credHtable hit, Brennan
pOkfng out a triple in the ninth inning
with two men out.
Craig and Jarrett who worked in
the box for the locals. had neither
sufficient workout during the sea-
son thus far to warrant any extensive
work on their part. Consequently
they chose to take a beating rather
than run a chance of losing their
salary earners
The game was featureless and I'M
interesting for the most part. But
a few people attended the game and
these few chose to line up against
the left field fence to derive the
most benefit from the sun which
sparkled through the clouds at times.
The score:

AN EASY VICTIM
William Burkett of Wichita
Proves Very Accommodating.
Loans a New Found Friend $500
for Short Time.

Wichita, Kan, March 30.-The police
are looking for ]. r. Thomas, but Mr..
Thomas seems to be aware of that fact
for he hung out the '23' sign Satur-
him. But the police are not half so
anxious about it as is a man named
William Burkett.
Mr.. Thomas and Mr.. Burkett met for
the first time in this city Friday, and
Thomas told his new friend that he
was a horse buyer from Muskogee,
Ok, and was looking for man who
could take a load of horse flesh
through to Muskogee for him. Burkett,
it seems was out of Job and readily
agreed to hobnob with a bunch of
Kansas steeds on their journey from
here to the Oklahoma town.
Saturday the two men met, sup
posedly to go and load the horses for
shipment, but Thomas had the regret
table bit of news to impart that he
a few days till he could get some
money from his bankers in Muskogee.
But Burkett came CALAMITY to the
rescue with the offer to put up the
necessary $500 in cash to pay the
freight on the shipment. Thomas de-
INJURED at taking the loan, but the big
hearted Burkett insisted, so Thomas
agreed and with apparent reluctance
took the $500, giving as security a
check on a Muskogee bank for a
like sum.
The minute Thomas got his hands
on the roll of currency he had to go
down to his room to ''See his wife a
moment He said he would meet Bur-
kett shortly and they would go to load
the horses. Apparently Thomas saw
his wife and she induced him to run
away with the $500 and leave the horses
and the hired man to whistle for
what was coming to him.
At any rate Thomas flew" and all
efforts to find him have so far proved
fruitless Mr.. Burkett is wandering
dazedly about the city looking for a
counting $500 and a job of transport
ing a car of horses to Muskogee at a
salary of s35 per month. 1t was the
same old game and it worked in the
same easy way.
