Meeting POSTPONED

Republican Smoker Billed For Last Night,
viii Be Held Tonight at the Headquarters
The Republican Meeting which
was announced for last night at head
quarters was postponed until to
night, so as not to conflict with the
meeting billed for the same date, for
Hon. Harry Mcmillan, the demo-
cratic candidate for Lieutenant Gov
ernor. The two parties had selected
the same date by accident, and an
other peculiar thing was that the Re-
publican candidate for Lieutenant
Governor was to speak at one meet
ing, and the democratic candidate
for the same Office was to speak at
the other meeting. The Republicans
decided that as their speaker lived
here and their meeting was purely
local one, it would be easier for them
to change their date, than the demo-
Gratis, whose speaker lives in another
part of the state. So the Republican
meeting was placed a day later, Civ
ing everybody who cared to chance
to hear both candidates for Lieuten
ant Governor. Mr.. Fitzgerald re-
quested to have his meeting post
poned, as soon as he learned that
Mr.. Mcmillan was to be here on
Wednesday night.

WRECK ON SANTA FE
East Bound Passenger Train No. 6 Was
Dltched Last Monday Near La Iunta

AT 2 o'clock last Tuesday morning
east bound passenger train No. 6, on
the Santa Fe, went into a ditch at
Hadley Station, nine miles east of La
Junta, the cause, it is reported, being
a broken wheel under the baggage
car. The engine remained on the
track, but all the cars except the rear
Pullman lett the rails and we're
turned completely over. A relief
train left La Junta at once and
brought the passengers to that place.
Although all the passengers were
rather shaken up and some were
slightly hurt, there were no serious
injuries.
The Globe-republican., 1908-10-01

The program for Taft day remains
practically as announced last week.
The train is to arrive in Dodge City
at 9 o'clock, Mountain time, and will
remain here fifteen minutes. II has
been understood from some Of the
railroad officials that the train will
be here for longer than that, but the
schedule sent out from Topeka still
says fifteen minutes stop.
The train will be stopped 80 that
the rear end car, from which Mr..
Taft will speak, will stand q dis
tance west Of First Avenue, and
the crowd will have its position on
Front street, north side Of track, be-
tween First and Second avenues.
As soon as the train is in, the tracks
will be left open so that part Of the
crowd may fill in all over the tracks,
back Of the train.
On the south side Of the tracks,
the arrangements are to have large
number Of automobiles, and it is to
be hoped that every owner OF a car
in Dodge City, ss we'll as those from
out Of town, will take this position.
Back Of the autos is place set apart

THE WONDERFUL BEAR TRAP.
And What 1t Did. as Told by the Boy
-<s Himself.

Well, fellows. here I am again, and
you can just bet that me and Dave
had great time. 1t wasn't slow. like
the way I guess it was here while we
were away.
That place that Dawes uncle took
us fellows to was a real wild place, like
the kind that you read about in books
by Captain Cook and Roosevelt. It was
full of bears and wildcats and things.
You couldn't see them, because they
are awful shy, and they only come out
at night and there amt any street
/ lamps at all in the woods. and SO you
couldn't see them at night.
I saw som ething that looked like
a bear one day in the middle of a
terrible thick woods. but it went
away in such a hurry that 1 couldn't
tell exactly. But me and Dave used
to wake up nights. and we could hear
them howl all around the farmhouse
where we was staying.
Me and Dave borrowed the farmers
gun a. whole lot of times, and we had
some great hunting trips. Only it was
awful heavy and you couldn't aim
with it very good unless you rested it
on something, and most every time
we saw a rabbit, or a bird, or an eagle,
or something like that, there wouldn't
happen to be any place where you
could rest it, and SO the thing would

shoulder and aimed at a big animal.
think that it was a racoon or chip
munk, or something like that And
would of shot it sure if Dave hadn't UP
and tumbled fiat the minute the gun
went off. He carried on and said that
his head was busted in two, and he
kept feeling his ear-the one that was
nearest the gun-and hollered that he
couldn't hear with it, and that it was
broke. But it got better all right
Dave amt as strong as me, you know.
Well after that Dave he didn't
seem to care so much any more about
| hunting-at least he didn't care to
| hunt with the gun-anc SO we sort of
agreed to go in for trapping. Dave
| said that it took more cunning, any
how, to be a trapper than shooter
| We kind of thought of building a
bear trap, but when we got to reading
about it we saw that II would take
| an awful lot of work, because you have

| We almost gave it up then, but just

found peachy log cabin in the woods.
It was strong as iron. And so we got

that they knew could build a trap as
good as that on the first try. But
Dawes uncle didn't seem to have any
sense about it at all He kept on hol-
1ering and hollering, and all at once,
when me and Dave went in and Dave
shouted where did the meat ge to,
and all the men commenced to laugh,
Dawes uncle just ran for US and We
had to go like anything to get away.
You wouldn't suppose e rat man could
run that fast
Afterward we found that he had
gobbIed the meat raw while he was
in there. I don't see why he should
of got mad about that. AS Dave said
to me, it was us that had the right ito
get mad and not him.
So Dawes uncle he sent us home
next day and here we are. But we
certainly had a peachy time.

spikes and nailed logs across the win
dows. and then we fixed the door the
way the book on trappings says.
. We hung the door UP with rope
and put logs on it to make it heavy as
lead, SO it would fall down like any
thing when the rope was pulled from
inside. And then we fixed place up
in the cabin just where the bear
would have to step when he went in,
and when he stepped on that, the rope
would give way and down would come
the door
Then we borrowed a hunk Of meat
from the farmer and we fixed up the
trap and we covered our trail-that's
the footmarks you leave, you know
with snow and then we went back to
the farmhouse and we said to our
selves that we would wait about three
days before we went to it so as to give
the bear plenty Of chance. -f-
We didn't get around to it though,
because about two days after that
there was terrible lot of excitement
around the place over. Dawes uncle.
He went in the woods and got lost and
nobody could find him and we went
off with the other men and hunted
through the swamps and everywhere
and we couldn't find a bit of him.
Dave and me looked in lot of
caves for his bones, because Dave said
that he probably got eaten up by a
panther. But when we couldn't find
anything, not even blood on the
bushes, I told Dave that most likely
he had been carried off by an eagle.
Well, the hunters kept looking for
him the next day and the next, and
me and Dave got sort of tired of 1t,
because it didn't seem to do any good.
And SO we went to look at the bear
trap.
When we got in sight of it, Dave
caught hold of me and says that we
| had a bear sure enough. Say! you
| ought to been there and heard it.
First off it would be a whole lot of
roaring like. and then it would be a
sort of whining. and I said right away
