Evidence of a Bloody Crime

A bloody coat stabbed full of
knife holes, an old hat, and a pair
of overshoes, was a startling find
in hay loft at the Alamo Colony
farm one day last week. 1t looked
like tragedy to Bishop Mcinturff
and the workmen who went to the
barn to bale hay. No satisfactory
solution could be made so Consta-
BILE Hoagland was sent for. He
went down Monday morning and
brought the relics back, and no
light could be thrown upon the
awful tragedy until Ben Morrow
came along, took a look at the
outfit, and then took a good laugh
at the officers expense. He recog-
nized some old clothing he had
used while out on a hunt. They
had been left in a roll of blankets
that J. e. Howe had borrowed last
fall when he and A. J. Kent took
Judge Robertson and Judge Cor
don out for a duck hunt. They
slept in the barn one night and left
the old clothing there that they
found in the roll Of blankets. The
blood marks were game stains.

FurbeiOWs Must Be TabOOed in
the School at Chanute.
Board of Education Acts in Re.
gard to the Matter.
QUESTION OF ECONOMY
Sweet Girl Graduate to Cut Cost
Of Commencement Gown.
Students Spend Too Much Time
and Money for Show.

Chanute, Jan. 9.-The Tribune says:
Dress reform was taken up by the
board of education at it's session last
but one applying to the elimination
Of expensive attire in connection with
graduation and commencement exer-
cises. The board acted conservative
ly in the matter, merely adopting a
resolution that it was the sense Of
the board that commencement gowns
and attire should be as inexpensive
as possible. The motion was made
by Gibson, and carried unanimo usly
The matter was presented to the
board by superintendent J. H. Adams.
who said that the matter of attire was
one on which it had been the custom
in the past for many OF the students
to expend much time and money. He
said that it worked a hardship on
those families which were less plen-
tifully supplied with the worlds goods
than those Of other members, of the
GLASS; and that it would be a good idea
if more simplicity prevailed. He
spoke especially of the showing
made by the Chanute High school
chorus when it went to Coffeyville to
take part in the musical contest at
the Southwestern Kansas Teachers
asso citation. He requested the mem
bers Of the chorus to go to no outlay
for attire, and says they compared
we'll with the choruses from other
schools in which girls were gowned
uniformly in raiment prepared espec-
tally for the occasion.
The board considered such recon-
mendation a very sensible thing,
but did not know exactly how to get
at the matter.

prescribed when it comes to dress

of the kind there are many who would
think it a joke, and laugh at us for
it, said President P1ummer.
''They can laugh at me all they
want to- 1 can stand it, said Gibson,
arising and making the motion, which
was adopted.

NEW WORKERS UPHOLD ATTELL.
Sporting Critics Say 1872 Pounds
Would Give Moran the Advantage.

New York, Jan. 9.-New York sport
ing experts uphold Abe Attell in his re-
fusal to give Owen Moran a return bat
tie on the latter's terms. They argue
that the champion has gained his title
by meeting all commers, and declare
the proposition that the men make 122
pounds three hours before appearing in
the ring is preposterous.
This weight would give Moran a de-
cided advantage, inasmuch as he takes
on weight rapidly, while the Ghetto
Champion" does not. Three or four
pounds Of an advantage would mean a
great deal to the Englishman in
strength, while Attell, whose weight
rarely goes above 122, even when out of
training, would lose the advantage of
class
The only way the featherweight title
can be lost is in a fight at 122 pounds
rfngsfde, and Attell says he Is willing
to fight rugged that way.
New Workers will uphold Attell in
this controversy. and will put plenty
of money on him to win If the men
meet again at the championship weight.

THEY KNOCK ON BOXING.
Having Lost Championship, Engiisi
Critics Think 1t Brutal

London, jan 9.-Now the Moir-Burns
bout is thing of the past, and Eng
lands chances of producing a heavy
weight who would have any show of
title-winning is about nil, the British
press has become suddenly alive to the
brutality of these contests.
Indeed, it looks as if a movement
were being started to put an end to
them.
England, the nursery of '-the noble
art Of self-defense," has now been I'M
able to produce a heavyweight cham
pion for 40 years. Pupils are fostered
and encouraged by every means by the
National Sporting club. while not only
in the working class districts of Lon
don, but all the big cities, there are
boxing clubs going all the time.
It is astonishing that with all this
opportunity, with all the tradition of
pugilism in the Anglo-Saxon race, they
can produce nothing better than a sec
ond-rate man. Obviously the time has
come to abolish the sport-if it can be
called a sport
Moreover, its abolition now will not
involve any sacrifice of prestige by the
English ring The Henley regatta
committee has given a good lead; they
might in future refuse to put up any
prizes for an international competition.
That is one way of maintaining their
prestige as sporting nation.
