USED HIM UP.
Trouble Maker on Oakland Street Car
Meets His Waterloo.

One of the most interesting fistic
bouts that has been pulled off in To-
peka since the days when pugiIism
was recognized as a legitimate sport in
the passengers on an Oakland street
car, which left the transfer station
about 1920 p. m. The encounter was
entirely extemporaneQus and was pull
ed off without any formal preliminary
arrangements. but the interest of the
spectators was none the less keen
According to certain of the passen-
gers VINO were ye-witneSSeS to the
fracas, one Henry Wolf, barber en-
ployed in Nat Harmons tonsoriaI par
lors under the State Savings bank
boarded the Oakland car apparently
under the influence of the demon
that his happiness could be further
enhanced by starting a disturbance.
AS a creator of disturbance, SO the
passengers declare, the razor wielder
achieved much success. proceeding to
the extent that before the car had pro-
ceeded many blocks the barber was
regarded by the rest of the passengers
as decidedly "de trOw'' to put it po-
litely.
When the car reached Seward ave
nue. and Logan street, eye-witnesses of
the affair state, the actions of the bar
Der grated so unpleasant1y upon the
nerves of citizen known as Left
Handed Bob that he invited the dis
turber to step off the car and enjoy a
real active, cyclonic disturbance
To this invitation the barber re-
sponded and the two hoped off the
car Wolf, SO the passengers state,
led off with a right swing to the pro-
bosc1s of his opponent, that fell short
by about quarter of an inch, where
upon 'Left-Handed Bob sent in a
vicious short-arm jab on the point of
VOLTS chin, which sent the latter to
the ground. When the barber arose
Bob came back with another jab and
a 1eft-handed poke in the Stats and
the barber again clutched the short
grass by the roadside. This perfor-
nance on the part of Handed
Bob was repeated half a dozen times,
when the car finally moved on.
AS the car was on its way back to
the city the passengers and car men
observed Wolf trudging along the
road afoot toward Oakland, his coun-
tenance decorated with several mon
uments attesting to the efficiency OF
"Left-Handed Bob" as a pugilist
1t was reported that the street car
company intended to have Wolf ar
rested for disturbing the peace on the
car, but up to this afternoon no ar
rest had been made.

MRS. PACKARD HURT.
Knocked Down by a Runaway Horse
and Painfully Injured.

Mrs. G. w. Packard, who stood with
the crowd of car walters at the Eighth
avenue transfer station shortly after
eleven O'Clock this morning was hit by
a loose horse in harness running down
Kansas avenue. The worst injury was
across the face where her head had
struck the pavement in falling and
which was badly bruised and swollen.
Mrs. Packard is old and the doctor ex-
pressed wonder that the accident did
not result more seriously. That the.
running horse was not seen by the lady
is due to the fact that she is partially
blind.
G. w. Packard. an old soldier, was
telephoned that his wife had been in
jured and would soon be home and the
Christ's hospital ambulance was called
to remove her to the home at 1884 Har-
rison street, where she reported to be
resting easily.

MAXWELL GIVES UP.
Unable to Complete the Fifth Ward
Sewer.

Closely following the burning of his
working horses and stables, J. H. Max
we'll, a Topeka contractor, who received
the work of constructing the Martin &
Dennis sewers in the southwestern part
of the city has thrown up the sponge
and his bondsmen, the Federal Union
Surety company, represented by I. L.
Better, will take up the matter on fin
ishing the work on the sewers for the
city.
1t has been known for some time that
Maxwell was getting along very slowly
with his work, especially since the burn
ing of his valuable stock and the con-
tract called for completion of the work
on March 1. The contract itself was q
great surprise to the city officials as
Mr.. Maxwell agreed to make the sewers
at cost of $65,000 or over $4,000 under
any of the bids of his competitors.

MOVES ARMY In AUTOS.
England Makes Experiment in Trans
porting Armed Force.

London, March 17.-An interesting
experiment was made by the war office
today to demonstrate the utility of the
automobile as a means of rapid mill
tary transportation. Acting on the as
sumption that high hostile army
had landed at Hastings and that the
railroad was blocked with troop trains,
q relieving force of 1000 men with full
war kit and guns was moved to the
scene by automobiles
Five hundred machines loaned by
members of the automobile club picked
up the men and their accoutrements at
the various barracks and conveyed
them to the Crystal Palace whence the
start was made. The machines traV-
eled at the rate of 20 miles an hour
The lighter cars with the men took the
lead, the heavier vehicles with the gyms
crowds gathered to watch the column.

HAIR
Doctors Say There is a Harmless, Safe
and Sure Way to Remove Super
f1uOuS Hair

Dr. Fowler. who has made thorough
study of superfluous hair growth. speak
ing of a case in which he used DeMirac1e.
says: Il applied DeMiracle, and in a few
minutes had her lip devoid of hair with
out any pain whatever. instructed her to
call again in two weeks, which she did.
found about one-fourth of the hair roots
were not killed by the first applicition, so
L made a second application. I saw her
again in about a month, and found her lip
as clear of hair as an infants I can
heartily recommend DeMiracle for all the
uses for which the manufacturers recon-
mend tt
It is well to remember that DeMiracle is
absolutely non-poisonous, antiseptic and
germicidal, therefore it will not produce
blood poisoTing or eczema which is so
common with hair removers. DeMiracle is
the only method in the world which IS
endorsed by physicians. surgeons. derma- :
tologists medical journals and prominent
magazines.

will visit the Alaskan Yukon EXposi-

main near his wife at Beverly, Mass,

cal engineering at the college, was

ture Wednesday afternoon to succeed
DR.. Barton o. Aylesworth. He ae-
cepted.

dent body and members of the college
faculty. His choice was unanimous.
Governor Shafroth, In speaking of the
matter, said:

place at the head of the college and
conduct Its affairs in an able manner"

studied practical agriculture until
1895, when he entered the Normal
school at Greeley, from which institu-
ton he graduated three years later.
He then entered the University of Col
orado and graduated in the scientific
course in 1901. He continued his stud
les there and secured the degree OF
master OF science in 1902.
From Boulder he went to Cripple
Creek, where he was principal of the
high school for two years He returned
to Boulder in 904-and served one year
as professor of physics, in the absence
of Doctor Duane. He came to Fort Col
Inns September 1, 1905, to accept the
professorship of physics, and when the
course in electrical engineering was
instituted in 1907, he was made dean
of the department.
