In the last twelve years Washburn
has won eight out OF nine games from
the Kansas State Agricultural college.
Only three times has K. 8. A. C. been
able to score against Washburn at all.
For years and years the ambition
Of the Kansas "Aggies'' was to score
on Washburn-that was their war cry.
In 1905 when Mike Ahearn took
charge of the team. and began to de-
velop the scoring machine which has
reached its highest stage Of perfection
this year. they were successful as the
above table will show. Each year tbeX
have grown stronger until last year
they administered crushing defeat to
the wearers of the blue.
This year Ahearn's Aggies have made
a record for themselves and with an
even break of luck would have made
Bert Kennedy's squad look to their
laurels. Luck, however, broke against
them, but with the Washburn game
still to be played the Aggies' record for
1909 is $50 points scored against Ii
scored by their opponents. Next year
their record may not be as good as the
players and students are demanding
that stronger teams be met. Ahearn's
proteges have finished their course in
juvenile football and are now demand
ing mans size games.
Following is q table showing how the
K. s. A. c. players have forged ahead
of other teams beginning in 1905:

times The football luck did not break
even. Time after time the Aggfes rush
ed their opponents backward, only to
be penalized when they were WITHIN
striking distance of the goal.
The Kansas game was a hard luck
game with the Aggies. The sport wri-
ter on the Kansas City Star declares
the Kennedy squad was lucky to get
away with a five to three victory to it's
credit. Ard beside Iowa the Aggles are
the only team that has scored against
Kansas this year.
The smaller Kansas teams have been

Similar fate.
Teams In Good Condition.
With the Aggies the Washburn game
has always been the game for which
the team is pointed. Every one of the
contests have been hard fought battles
save last year when Washburn, in a
demoralized condition. was beaten
badly.

SEVERAL CASES
OF Dog POISONING
ARE REPORTED
SWIFT JUSTICE SHOULD BE
Melted OUT TO MISCREANT
IF CAUGHT.

Some contemplate creature who
seeks pastime by the giving of poison
to dogs, has again broken loose in
this city and is scattering poisoned
meat around the residence section in
the vicinity of the Episcopal church
Yesterday the two dogs belonging to
George Andrews evidently found
some of the poison, for both died
shortly after being let out of the
house. 1t was reported last evening
that several other CANNES had been
killed by poison and numerous
threats have been made against the
person who is responsible for the
death of the bow vows, and if ap-
pretended will undoubtedly be given
the limit of punishment. The dog
poisoner is the lowest specimen OF
humanity. Hanging is too good fol-
him. Burning at the stake is toe
mild punishment.

WESTERN PACIFIC
IS RUSHING WORK
near WADSWORTH

Several more car loads of grading
outfits have arrived at Wadsworth
and will be transported by team to
the scene of the Western Pacific con-
struction work north of Wadsworth
and work on the Western Pacific
road is being rushed to completion.
Division Engineer Harlowe of the
Western Pacific company states that
the road will be ready for operation
as far as Winnemucca by spring. All
the grading between Winnemucca
and most of the bridges have been
finished.
A large crew of men is working
at Winnemucca doing excavation
work near the town and just to the
north of the cemetery. 1t is thought
that a round house will be erected
| there.
Between Winnemucca and Elko a
| large force of men is also at work

ORE SHIPMENTS
FROM RAWHIDE
ARE INCREASING
SCARCITY OF TEAMS RETARDS
WORK OF CONVEYING THE
HIGH GRADE.

J. w. Stewart is back from Raw
hide, where he has been looking after
business interests. He says that near
ly every property in the camp is be-
ing worked, and from a business
standpoint the place is looking bet
ter every day. The mills are running
full time crushing ore from the diff
ferent properties and are being
crowded to their capacity. Ore teams
can be seen passing continually
through the street of Rawhide en-
route to the mills, and those who are
| familiar with the different mines
there state that the coming summer
will witness a great revival in the
mining industry of Rawhide. Work
has been resumed on the Booth-AleX-
apder-Byrnes lease on Balloon hill
and the men are sacking ore. Sam
pies assay $500 to the ton, and the
general average of the ore will &C
better than $500 to the ton.
THE scarcity of teams" said Mr.
Stewart, has somewhat retarded
the work of shipping ore to the rail
road at Fallon and Schurz. Ever!
available team has been pressed int
service and still there are large guam
titles of ore on the dumps of sew
eral of the properties awaiting ship
ment. The ore bins are filled t.

trying to devise some method b.
which they can secure additiona
wagons for transportation until tn
mills now under construction ar
ready to drop their stamps"

spection and Ask that the Re-
port be Made Public.

feated The inspiration of this
measure is credited to the owners of
the big mines at Tonopah Its author,
Berry, and few Republicans voted
in it's favor
Brandon's bill licensing and regu-
lating prize fights was also passed,
and an adjournment was taken un-
til 1880 this evening.
Although the senate transacted
enough business during it's short
session to keep the journal clerks
busy all night copying the minutes,
about the only item of the whole lot
worthy of mention was the passage
of the assembly bill making it a
felony for any officer or clerk of a
bank to receive deposit after the
solvency of the bank is in doubt.
The senate appointed Boyd and
Easton as it's members on the joint
committee to investigate the state
bank commission and the committee
has already begun work on the job
in earnest. Some people seem tc
think a sensation will here be de-
veloped, but the commission invites
the most searching investigation
asking that it be made publicly O.
course, this may be merely the usua
bluff, for such cases made and pro
} vided.

American sloop of war Portsmouth.
He says that deserters from the
Portsmouth organized robber band
which numbered, together with In
dians and Mexicans, 100 men. They
had their retreat in the Sierra Ne
vada mountains, somewhere in the
actly where Sutherland refuses to
say, and in 1916, when the bear flag
was at its height, they plundered and
ravished the country in all directions.
Il believe" said Sutherland, in
speaking of the supposed treasure,
that these men amassed large
amount of plumber, consisting OF
| jewels and plate, which they stole
from Spanish households, and gold
which they took from miners every.
where. The chest evidently belong.
ed to an American sailor, but by
some accident it fell into the hands
of the Mexican who made the maps
Whether the treasure belonged tt
this Mexican or whether it represents
the hoard of number of bandits,
do not know, but if the figures in the
paper are correct it aggregates more
than 100000. I have followed thu

DEMURRER
TO CRAFT
CLAIMS THAT JIMMIE
LLOYD HAS NO RIGHT TO SUE
FOR LEGISLATIVE FUNDS.

This morning in the Supreme Court
demurrer was entered to the suit
of James W. Lloyd who demands ex-
ira money for transcribing the notes
which he took of the proceedings of
the House during the last session OF
the Legislature. From the character
of the demurrer it looks very much
as though Lldyo would go without
his money, or rather the Territory's
money.
The demurrer is entered on two
grounds, the first being that the Su-
preme Court is without jurisdiction
and the second that the facts set out
are not sufficient to constitute a cause
of acion. The law provides for GER
tain specific cases in which the Terri
tory may be sued, and it is held that
this is not one of the cases. In the
matter of a contract It is provided
that it must be made by someone who
has the authority to make a contract
In the Lloyd case the contract was
made by the Speaker, according to the
complainant and bv the chairmen of
the committees concerned. Instead OF
there having been a ratification or au-
thorization of any kind there was a
distinct reputation of the debt, if
such thing ever did exist. Nowhere
in the rules of the House, in the Or
ganic Act or elsewhere can any au-
thority be found which allows the
Speaker to make contract.
1t is doubtful is the details of the
graft case in the Legislature will come
| before the court al all, as the de-
murrer raises points of law, which if
sustained as appears to be likely. will
throw the case from the record COM
pletely.

BEATS CASTLE
SUPREME COURT HANDS DOWN
DECISION IN LAND CASE IN
VOLVING CIRCUMSTANCES.

The Supreme Court handed down
decision this morning in the case
of l.. l.. McCandless VS.. r. F. Lansing,
W. r. Castle and J. B. Castle over
ruling the exceptions taken by the de-
PENDANTS, Judge Perry dissenting from
the majority opinion and being in ia
vor of new trial. The case is one
to quiet title to certain land at Waia-
hole, i'm which numerous transfers
have been made and on which mort
cages have been given and hinged on
the fact that Malaea, a native girl
gave deed when minor, which was
not disaftirmed till some time after
she reached her majority. The ma
jority Of the court held:
On the undisputed facts it is held
as a matter of law that mere silence
for two years and ten months after
majority did not prevent an Hawaiian
girl from disafIirming her deed made
when about fifteen years of age, and
that she was not estopped from so
doing by foreclosure sale Of the land
during her minority.
