PREPARING FOR CONTEST.
Panhandle Colleges Get Ready FOR
April Contest Here.

News from Hereford, Canadian,
Goodnight and Clarendon, the four
colleges that make up the Panhan-
die Oratorical association, indicates
that the orators and their fellow
students are getting ready to make
the first contest of the association a
thorough success. Preliminary con-
tests for choosing the orators to
represent the several colleges will
probably be held about the last Of
this month. This will give three
weeks for special study and training
for the orators before the contest
here on April II.
One event OF interest which is
scheduled for the visit Of the col
leges here is a basket ball game be-
tween the girls team Of the Amarillo
High School and or Canadian acad-
envy This will be the first inter
scholastic girls game ever played
here. 1t is probable also that other
games, either baseball or basket ball
will be arranged to take place on
the Saturday following the contest,
between some OF the other colleges
OF the association.

TOUpFFER STILL
LOOKS FOR FATHER
(Trom Thursdays Daily)

(ErOm Thursdays Dally)
with the assistance OF men whose
interest he enlisted yesterday in his
search for his uncle and his father,
w. Il. Toupffer, the young man who
told the story yesterday of old times
in the Panhandle and OF newly ac-
quired wealth at Goldfield, New,
succeeded in locating his uncle, j..
G. Cuddy, here. Mr.. Cuddy is a
newcomer in Amarillo who lives in
neat cottage on East Third street,
east OF the Santa Fe tracks. But
1oupffer has not yet located the
aged father OF whom he told the
men at the courthouse yesterday,
nor has he discovered the spot seven
miles south OF Amarillo where, ac-
cording to his story yesterday, his
mother was buried about nineteen
years ago.
Toupffers account of his birth
here twenty-siX years ago and oe his
life with his brother and his Gather
has caused many old-timers to search
their memories for facts which cor
respond to the details of the story.
So far none of them have been able
to recall a cattleman by the name
OF Toupffer who ran as many as
5000 cattle, or even less on the
open range then, but they are il
clined TO believe that !; such a man
had been here that they would have
known something about him. Nor
does anyone who has heard the story
remember a. grave on the prairie in
the place described by Toupffer, but
as there were few landmarks on the
pyairie at that time. 1t is easily pos
sible that the grave might have been
made in the manner described by
Toupffcr but at a place many miles

Two Suitors Met.


Mary Stone, the colored cook at

q favorite in dark society here, and
among her admirers are both Jim Ell
lis and Shad Harris Last night
about 8 O'Clock Shad Harris was
calling on the lady when Jim Ellis
put In his ppearance. Harris says
that Ellis was drunk Ellis says
that he hadn't had that much,
Further Ellis says that Harris had
been bothering him a good deal and
that the feeling between them was
not entirely friendly. Last night
when he found Harris at the home
of his lady, he opened the conyersa-
ton by asking for s. which Harris
owed him. Harris resented this as
persion on his financial standing and
jumped at Ellis with an open razor
not OF the safety variety. Then FL
lis nsays he defended himself by
grabbing up n gun and shooting at
the other negro. Shad made a break
for the open. But few minutes
later according to Ellis he again
made a rush at him with that IA
zor. This time Ellis had a clearer
field and he emptied his gun as fast
he could work the trigger.

-Four Carloads OF Freight.


In the assortment which the claim
department of the Pecos Valley is
selling on the track here, Is four
carloads of freight Of all conceivable
kinds which for one reason or an
other has not been delivered TO the
consiGnee named on the shipping la
bel. In some cases the consignee
has alleged that the freight is dam
aged TO such an extent that he re-
fuses to accept and pay for It. I'm
der such conditions If the shipper
refuses to take back the goods or
If he cannot be found, the company
is obliged to keep the property. This
accumulates at various stations along
the line and whenever a considerable
amount of it is on the books OF the
company, the claim department gets
as much cash as possible out Of 1t by
having an "old boss" sale, like the
one now in progress,
The sale began yesterday and to-
day most or the articles in the four
cars have been knocked down to
purchasers. c. Il. Burch and Ear
nest Finklea OF the claim department
at the Pecos Valley offices, have
been in charge OF the sale and va
rious other men from the office have
assisted. As the goods in nearly
every case are boxed or Grated so
that very little can be seen OF them
and since the information given in
the bill of lading is very incomplete,
the bidder for the most part have

prices offered show a wide range.

JUDGE PARKER In BALTIMORE.
Makes Good Impression ON the Voters
of the Monumental City.

All the Baltimore papers speak in
terms of praise of Judge Parker's able
and dignifed address in that city Mon
day night. They comment upon the
fact that although Judge Parker did
not receive the full Democratic vote
four years ago, he is working hard for
the ticket and that this will have a
good effect in bringing gold Democrats
into line for Bryan.
The hall would not accommodate
the crowd, and an overflow meeting of
more than thousand was addressed
by Col. Alexander s. Bacon, of New
York, and S. S. Field, of Baltimore
Beside Judge Parker, the indoor meet
ing was addressed by Senator John
w. Daniel, of Virginia, and Senator
Isidor Rayner.
A sensation was created by charge
made by Judge Parker that George B.
Cortelyou, while chairman of the Re-
publican National Committee in 1904,
solicited a large contribution from
the Standard Oil Company; that a
demand was made for $250,00O, but
that only 100000 was given, which
was spent in electing Mr. Roosevelt.
When he reproached Mr.. Roosevelt
for using Governor Haskells record
against Mr.. Bryan &nd said that the
Democratic standard-Dearer had "ear-
ned the right to be saved from such
an insult" there was an outburst of
enthusiasm lasting several minutes.
In an interview Judge Parker said
the Democrats ought to win in New
York and the nation because they
are united and really want to win, in
stead of being split as they were in
1904
