HILLS CASE TO THE JURY.
Evidence Showed Defendant Hal
Much Cause for Anger.

Independence, Kan, Oct. 22.-The
case of the state versus William Hill.
charged with murder, was given to the.
jury at O'Clock wednesday after
noon. .s'
Hill blew the top of the head off
David Alexander one night last sum-
mer while the latter was riding with
his discarded wife. He testified on the
stand that Alexander fired at him with
a pistol and he fred in self defense,
but the state proved that Alexander
had no gun of any kind with him.
Hill depended on emotional insanity,
but did not produce much evidence
along that line. The aggravation to
which he was subjected was his strong
est card. Witnesses testified that the
woman often sat on the lap of Alex
ander in Hills presence and would
make. a point of kissing Alexander
where Hill could see the performance.
People living along the road which
Alexander and the woman took on the
fatal evening, stated that they saw the
two in a very close embrace and the
indications were they were in this po-
sition when Hill stepped out from the
melon patch and fired the first shot,

JOKE ON THIEF CATCHERs.
A Horse Stolen at Salina While Asso-
citation Is in Session.

Salina. Kan, Oct. 22-with 100,
members of the Anti-H orse Thief asso-
citation in the city, the first horse
stolen in Salina for several years has
been taken. The animal and his har-
ness are missing and at this time
there is no clue to the thief. The
horse was about 20 years old.
For the first time in the history of
the Anti-Horse Thief association in
this state and probably in the United
States, a woman was elected to an hon
orary membership in that order. at the
state meeting here. Miss Jessie John
son, local elocutionist, recited before
the body. Her election as an honorary
member followed Immediately. A
woman's auxiliary organization will
probably be organized here immedi-
ately, and this is considered the start.
About 900 delegates are in the city
and the number is increasing with the
arrival of every train In the resi-
dent presidents report it was stated
that one of the criminals of the state
cost the people more than all the
schools. Last year he said the thous-
ands of members of the association had
only fifteen horses stolen. The asso-
citation recovered thirty; the remain
ing fifteen belonged to outsiders.
John Wall of Parsons, the national
president is in attendance. The pa
rade, with several bands and 1000 men
in line. will take place this afternoon.

drink called "Ironbrew' which is bot
tied at his factory. He was taken
before Justice Wagstaff where he
gave bond and was released Mr..
Kleinhans came to Salina yesterday.
The label on "Ironbrew' says that
it is a mon alcoholic life renewer."
1.-The label" said Mr.. Kleinhans,
would indicate that the drink is a
brew and contains iron. 1t contains
no more iron than is contained in or
binary water and it is favored water
carbonized. Analysis shows that 1T
contains no alcohol except what might
be in the fiavoring matter used. The
analysis also shows the presence of
saccharine, which is coal tar pre-
paration 500 times as sweet as best
sugar and has no food value. One
pound Of saccharine costing $3.50
contains moro sweetness than $25
worth Of the best sugar.

BAD CHECKS AT lola
worthless Pieces of Paper Get the
Merchants Money.

lola, Oct 22.-The bogus check
man has been operating in lola again
and his game has been attended with
the success that has greeted his past
efforts. This time the Richardson
store on East Madison avenue was
the principal scene of operations. A
we'll dressed, we'll appearing stranger,
wearing glasses, presented a check
for $3.50 to the cashier to be cashed.
Asked if Mr.. Richardson had APP
proved the check, the man nodded an
assent, received the money and left
the store. When Mr.. Richardson
deposited the check for collection he
was advised that it was worthless. The
check was drawn on Frank Myers and
was payable to Emmett Vaughn.
At the zimmerman grocery. much
the same swindle was worked. The
man bought bill of goods. and pre-
scented a check. which called for an
amount in excess of the purchase. He
received the difference in cash and
left the store saying that he would
return soon and get the groceries. But
he did not come back and the check
was found to be worthless.
A number of other merchants are
reported to have been victimized but
the cases have not been reported to
the police.

PENN INJURY LIST GROWS.
New Names Are Added to Roll and
Coaches Begin to Worry.

Philadelphia, Pa. Oct. 22.-Mis-
fortunes are cropping out fast for the
University of Pennsylvania football
team. Instead of the list of injuries
growing smaller. it seems to be gain
ing rapidly. Yesterdays practice de-
veloped that Capt. Hollenbacks in
juries are far more serious than ex-
pected and Bunny Reagan is injured
so badly that it may be weeks before
he can don a suit. Manners leg is so
stiff that it is hardly possible for him
to get into the practice before Fri
day and Keinath is only able to walk
with the aid of a cane. The line was
without the services of Pike, the
giant guard, and Marks, the center.
Braddock was not out and Favorite
took care of his end. Only straight
football was tried and it now seems
that Penn will depend almost entirely
on the old-style game to defeat the
Indians.
The Brown university game de-
veloped that Penn has a scoring ma
chine, when straight football is used
that is almost impossible to stop and
the slowness Of the team in grasping
the intricacies of the new game has
compelled the coaches to perfect the
style of play best adapted to the
players.

pain, but knew nothing of the fracture
until he tried to exercise himself to-
