lected as head nnesman. The other
position. that of field judge. will be
filled by Jay House. Coach Weede of
the old Spavs held out for representa-
ton in the personnel of officials, and as
Mr.. House is generally numbered
among the old Spavs in his line, he
was accepted. Mr.. House acted in this
capacity a year ago, and did nothing
to hurt either side, in fact did nothing
at ali, and on this account he was ac-
ceptable to Coach Hope.
The game will be called at o'clock.
All who go will be required to make a
deposit of fifty cents before going in,
this to insure good conduct on the part
of the spectators, and as a safeguard
against mob violence. At the close of
the game this nominal deposit will re-
vert to the possession of the athletic
association. No admission will be
charged.

woman. When she recovered her COM
posture she exclaimed:
Let me see him just a minute, just
a minute will settle it all, captain"
She tore off her rings and when De-
tective Glynn arrived to take her over
to the Jail she had determination mark
ed on her face. AS she walked down
the Jail corridor the prisoner saw her
and gave glad exclamation of surprise
and pleasure. The girls face did not
show any emotion and she thrust the
rings into the hand extended to greet
her and with the exclamation Take
back your rings, this ends it ALL she
turned and fed from the Jail.
The wife doesn't Aknow how near she
came to being a participant in a drama.
Had the captain allowed all the women
to go and see the prisoner at the same
time, the chances are that some hair
would have been pulled out. The soldier
has much to be thankful for today.

IN WESTERN ASSOCIATION.
LeaVenWOrth Wants to Break Back i
Old Organization.

Old Organization.
Leavenworth. Kan, Dec 1.-Two
possibilities for baseball in Leaven-
worth present themselves for the COM
ing season: state league and a rein
statement in the Western association.
Plans are on foot in the western part
of the state for the formation of a
state league in which it is projected to
include the towns of Leavenworth,
Atchison, Ottawa, Emporia, Junction
City, Manhattan, Abilene, Salina,
Hutchinson, Winfield and Arkansas
City and Newton. This makes total
of twelve towns. In the event of the
formation of a league, however, it is
be admitted. The headquarters of the
movement are in Newton, from
whence communications have been
sent to the other cities mentioned.
ST have not had the matter called to
my attention." said Charles Taschetta,
one of the members of the old base
ball organization in Western associa-
ton days last night. at seems more
probable to me that LeaVenworth will
go back to the western association
than that it should be included in a
state league. A state league would
not draw here. The people will not
patronize an institution which is go
ing down and what they want here is
some real league ball.
''I think that it is probable that the
Oklahoma towns will go to the Texas
leagues or other southern organiZa-
cancies in the Western. 1t would be
in the filling of such a vacancy that
Leavenworth would get back into the

COACH MoNILAW EXPLAINS.
Says the Slope and the Wind Was
Cause of MissOuri,s Losing.

Columbia. Mo, Dec. 2.-Wny Mis-
souri, was defeated again this year by
Kansas was answered once more,
when Coach Monilaw gave his ex-
PLANTATION of the defeat. The Missouri
coach gives almost no recognition of
superior team work of one team over
the other and places emphasis instead
on the wind and the slope of the grid
iron at Association park. Luck was
the principal factor in the game.
81 believe that MiSsouri's defeat was
due primarily to two things-first, that
Kansas had the advantage of the wind
and the slope of the field during most
of the game, and second, that Kansas
was lucky with the onside- kick. With
the wind and the slope in her favor
Missouri scored in fourteen minutes.
After the next KICKOFF when Kansas
had the wind and slope she scored in
seventeen minutes. The second touch
down was made by Kansas in twenty
eight minutes with the aid of the wind
and the slope. Our line, I believe any
one will admit, equaled the Kansas
line. and believe excelled it. But our
backf1efd was not up to its accustomed
standard and here we were outplayed,
but not outclassed by Kansas"

n NEIGHBORHooD FEUD.
Building of Dykes Along the Solomon
Will Start Trouble.

Bennington, Kan, Dec. 2.-What
may result in a hard fought lawsuit
or a neighborhood feud of considerable
ma gnitude was begun here this week.
During the floods of 1903 and 1908
the Solomon river at this place over
flowed the valley and lowlands in
undating thousands of acres of grow
ing crops which were ruined by the
water. Long stretches of the railroad
away in some instances the track was
lodged against the right of way fence
and the railroad company has been put
to great expense putting the track
back in good order.
A movement was set afOot to build
d dyke along the bank of the river and
Sand creek, which it is believed will
prevent the river from overlooking a
considerable scope of country lying
along the valley south and east OF Ben
nington. Those Immediately interest
ed and most affected by the overflow
ing river, with, it is said, the cooper
commenced the building of the dyke.
To which those living UP the river
and on the other side are making seri-
Gus objections on the ground that II
built the dyke will be a menace to
them during high water which Will
back higher than ever before over
their farms.
There is a very bitter feeling mani
tested between these two parties and
some have gone so far as to threaten
to blow up the dyke with dynamite II
it is built. Proceedings are watched
with considerable interest here re-
garding the matter and in all prob
ability there will be trouble sooner or

BUILDING GOOD ROADS.
Dodge City Fixing Way for Farmers
to Come to Town.

Dodge City, Kan, Dec. 2-There is
not a prouder man in all Ford county
than P. H. Sughrue, chief OF the good
roads boosters in this section. Mr.Sugh-
rue expects that the road will be com
pleted early in the week. At the rail
road crossing an immense amount OF
work has been done And when this
is finished, the people on the Mime
ola road will have an easy access TO
the Dodge City markets.
Exnert Boon and Engineer Cooley
will give their attention to the Pleas
ant Valley road. And now comes
call from Ford. The experts went
down there Thursday to investigate
the conditions and If the people there
wish it the experts will give a dem
ongtration in good road building In the
sand there. OF course these demon
STATIONS cost money but they are we'll
worth the price. GOOD roads add ma
teriaIly to the value of the lands in
the neighborhood, for in these days the
farmer looks well to his market and

LAND OFFICE DON'T PAY.
John Thomas Will Soon Resign His
Position at Colby.

Colby, Kan, Dec. John Thomas
will soon resign as register of the
United States land Office at Colby. He
intends to move to Idaho, where he is
interested in an irrigation project. His
successor has not been selected yet by
Senators Long and Curtis. Several
Sixth district politicians will no doubt
be after the place. However, there
will not be the big clamor for the po-
sition that would have come if the
Colby office paid as we'll as formerly.
For several years past it has been
paying the maximum, $4,000 a year,
but last year it dropped down to about
$1,000 and the chances are that it
never will be worth more than that
in the future. Most of the public land
of western Kansas has been home
steaded and it is now only a matter of
a few years when the Colby as well
as the Dodge City Office will be wiped
out and all public matters ATTENDED
