GOOD SHOOTING.

Several parties were out shooting near Kyrene yesterday when the storm came up. It came from the south and the hunters say that as the storm ap- preached. it drove the birds before it by the hundreds. While the flight lasted the shooting was the finest in the world.

A Kst Gene .. Eureka

The ElkO base ball club and bunch
of Elko rooters returned from Eureka
last night with another victory to their
credit, having got away with the
Eureka clubs bacon by the score of Is
to 8. The game was closely contested
up to the close of the 9Th inning, the
score standing Z to in favor of Eureka.
In the 18th inning Elko made TALES
and Eureka was whitewashed. In the
9Th Elko tailed runs and Eureka 1.
Elko made more tallies in the 9th and
Eureka took a goose egg, making the
score stand 10 to 8 in favor of Elko.
From the reports in circulation last
night, the game must have resembled q
Kilkenny fight more than a friendly
contest It was reported that Joe
Snelson had broken the skull of one of
the Eureka players with rock after
being. struck with a bat and that a
general fight had taken place and the
Elko boys were coming home sadly dis
figured. We are happy to say that the
reports were. greatly exaggerated.
From a reliable person who witnessed
the game, we learned that Mr.. Snelson
was not feeling we'll and another player
took his place. He then went to the
first base to coach the Elko boys, when
j. Mallen, the 3rd baseman of the
Eureka team, left his post and went to
LIST base and pushed Snelson away from
the coaching line. Snelson then picked
up rock and threw it at Mallen, strik-
ing him in the breast. Mallen then
went for Snelson again and received a
blow over the left temple from another
rock. This started riot and for q time
things were. pretty warm. The Elko
boys protected Snelson until a deputy
sheriff arrived and took him into
custody. He was taken to town and
turued over to Sheriff Mahoney, who
treated him nicely. When the game
was over, the district attorney made a
complaint against Snelson and assessed
his punishment at $50 fine, an unusual
proceeding for district attorney. The
fine was paid and Mr.. Snelson returned
with the crowd.

President Taft is said to have the
best of the tariff fight. If he is able to
whip Aldrich, Canaan and Payne and
their followers into line for q decent

Very large breach in his party if he

Dried Eggs

Dried eggs are now put up at Topeka
and Wichita, Kansas The Topeka
plant has consumed 1850, 900 dozen eggs
in twenty-five weeks. Three dozen
fresh eggs are needed to make pound
of the dried variety. Dried eggs are
used by bakers and boarding houses and
on ships where the fresh variety is
impossible to obtain. At present most
of the dried eggs used in this country
come from Russia, China and Japan.
The present status of the new tariff
bill admits dried eggs free. But be-
cause there are two factories in Kansas
a duty is demanded on dried eggs.

MILLIONAIRE TRAPS DYNAMITER
Defect in Internal Machine Saves
Lives of L. w. Jones and Family.


Lawrence NJ. Jones, wealthy dry
goods merchant of Kansas City, and
his family were gathered into the IL
brary of their home Tuesday by a man
with an automatic revolver and
dynamite bomb who demanded $1,000.
After clever maneuvering Mr.. Jones
managed to gain the mans consent to
accompany him and his son to bank
for the funds. While the trio were
about to enter the Jones motor car Mr..
Jones threw himself upon the man
from behind and seized him around the
chest in such n fashion as to pinion
his arms. At the same time by a trick
he learned when a boy, he kicked the
mans feet from under him. Both fell
and rolled down the stone steps at the
edge the Jones porch.
Chester, the son, was upon the in
truder before he could recover. The
young man seized the mans pistol in
one hand just as the trigger was
Mrs Jones then ran i'll close and seized
the bag containing the bomb, which she
carried to the house. An examination
of it showed that the matches had ig-
nited, but failed to explode the powder
and dynamite surrounding them.
The man gave his name as C. H.
Garnett, but admitted this was as
sumed. In his grip was ten pounds of
dynamite. He had rented a house in
Independence. Mo-, and fitted it with
prisoner. He said he had frequently
contemplated suicide because of his
poverty and bad health.
