McCarty Rink In Dodge City.

Mccarty Rink In Dodge City.
Mr.. Fred Edison has rented the
McCarty rink, and will establish in
the building large garage and auto
livery business. Mr.. Edison is one
Of several brothers who have garages
at different points in the state, and it
is understood that the one at Dodge
City is to be the largest one they have
yet put in. About $4,000 will be
spent in fitting up the repair depart
ment, and machines will be kept for
doing a livery business. 1t is under
stood tnat Mr.. Edison will sell one
or two makes Of autos, but the chief
business will be the repair and livery
part.
Ford county was one Of the last
places 10 the state to take the automo-
bile idea seriously. but in the last two
years o great many machines have
been sold here, and there are few
counties in the state where so large
per cent. have been sold to the farm
ers. At present It promises to be
one OF the foremost counties in the
state for machines, and this fact at
tracted Mr.. Edison to Dodge City as
splendid location for large garage,

Ago, And Is Charged Now With
Stealing II.

Eleven years ago, according to the
petition in the case just brought
against Clarence Wilson, the defend
ant disappeared with a team which
was the property Of Mr.. Keith, now
Of Fort Dodge. Wilson, according
to the petition. had hired team in
1908. agreeing to give Keith half he
earned with il as pay for its use. A
second contract was made something
like the fret. Since that time, Mr..
Keith claims he has been hunting
for Wilson and the team. 1t is un-
derstood that Wilson has been as far
east as New York since that time.
Recently Keith learned that he was
living in Kansas City, and he got out
o warrant charging him with stealing
the team, and he was brought here
IN that charge this week.
A preliminary hearing was held
lefore Justice Hobble yesterday, and
gllson was bound over to the dis
,.ict court for trial. The case is
seculiar one, and il is not known

Ward ranch for the past year, died
suddenly OF heart trouble at her
home. on last Thursday. She
leaves her husband and a little 2
year-old child. Mrs. Cooper was a
woman Of much refinement, who was
much loved and admired by her
many friends, and her sudden death
is severe blow TO the husband. The
remains were taken to Mrs. Cooper's
girlhood home at Pittburg, Missouri,
for burial.
The loss OF his wife will cause Mr..
Cooper to move back to Mis-
souri,. where he can have his child
looked after better than upon the
ranch here. He was much interested
in wheat farming here, and had Just
started to harvest a f ur hundred

REPORT RECEIVED ABOUT
WRECK OF NO. 5, PROB
ABLY ExAGGt RATED.
GREAT FLOODS EAST
Tracks in East Part Of State
andPortions ofTOwns Were
Under Water.

There was q report in town this
morning that lot Of people had
been drowned in wreck on the
second section OF Santa Fe Number
8, which should have reached here
last night. The only definite re-
port that could be obtained here TO-
day was that one child had bee n
drowned, and other passengers in
jured. A man who came in from
the east today claims that he talked
with passenger who escaped from
the wreck, and who got out by climb
ing through a window from a car
that was nearly filed with water
This man stated, 1t is said, that no
one knew how many had been
drowned. What the facts are can
not be learned here today, but the
impression is that not many lives
were lost.
The wreck was caused by high
water. There was great food from
Topeka south yesterday. None OF
the passenger trains ceuld run over
the road from Topeka to Emporia
yesterday afternoon. They we're
routed over the Holiday Emporia
cutoff. The second section No. S,
was caught in the food between
Usage City and Quenemo, and it is
understood that some Of the coaches
were overturned in the water.
The line is open this evening il is
reported, and the trains will proba-
bly, be running on the usual time
from now on.

CITY COU aCIL
Meeting Last Night Adjourned Without Any
y Action On the Water Works Question

The city council met last night,
and transacted the regular routine ol
business for the month. Not all d
the members were present, and the
regular meeting kept the council
busy until late hour, so that an ad-
journment wus taken until tonight to
consider the waterworks proposition
The city has been doing a lot Of
work putting in crossings, in prepar-
alton for Free Delivery, and the past
month has been an expensive one,
probably the most expensive Of the
year.
The waterworks matter looks like
something Of tie-up. It is under
stood that the company will not ac-
cept less than $4,000 for the part Of
the system the council wants to buy.
It is also understood that the council
will not pay more than 100000 for
the property. The company has
made one proposition to leave the
value Of the plant to three competent
engineers one to be selected by the
company, one by the city and the
other by these two. 1t is possible
that deal may be made upon the
last basis. No one seems to know
just now how the council stands as
body on this deal. 1t appears
certain that the maj rity favor mum
icipal ownership, and it is believed
that the ajDrity would vote to buy
the present system for 100000. The
company evidently has legal advice
that the plant must be bought to
annul the franchise, while at least a
part OF the councilmen believe that
the company has no rights whatever.
This part OF the matter will have to
be settled in the courts OF course.
unless the company and the council
get together on some sort OF a deal.
