Won Two Games

The Medicine Lodge base ball
boys played two games at Coats
last week, one Friday and one on
Saturday. They won both games,
the first one was I3inning game
and ended in a score of 4 to 2.
This was the fastest ball game our

he favored the Goats team the
Medicine Lodge boys are not COM

In the second game the score was
10 to 3. In this game the Medi-

their own way and pounded the
Coats twirler all over the sur
rounding country.
The features of the two games
were Triples by Schmidt, Fair and

The Lake City School Fight--The
Other Side

EDS. INDEX | desire to make
correction to few statements
made by your Lake correspondent
relative to events that transpired
at the Lake City school meeting
July 18th. The issue at the meet
ing was Walsh and anti Walsh.
There were "A votes cast in favor
of retaining Mr.. Walsh and wife
as teachers and SO opposing them.
In the vote taken to determine as
to whether or not the Washes
should be re-employed, the anti
Walsh vote represented 26 school
children which is fully half of the
school population Of the district.
Thus it will be seen that it was
not practically unanimous" in
favor of the Washes as stated by
your correspondent.

voters recorded against Mr.. Walsh

DIR. Kociell's Defense

Samuel Griffin and G. M. Martin.
attorneys for DR.. Kociell, filed an
answer in the district court on
Monday, in the case of the State of
Kansas VS. S. Kociell, who is charg-
ed with selling intoxicating liquor
and maintaining nuisance. DR..
Kociell admits that the goods now
IN possession of the sheriff of Bar
Der county which were taken by
virtue of search and seizure war
rant, are his goods but he denies
that they were kept for illegal pur-
poses. He asserts that he has had
no information of the nature of the
goods taken but he believes that
all of the liquids taken belong to
him. In private conversation, he
says that he has missed great
deal of medicine and other liquids
that are not in class with intoXi-
cants and it is his opinion that
these have also been seized under
the delusion that they are whiskey.
Messrs. Griffin and Martin have
also filed a motion to quash the
information and warrant on sever
al legal grounds. The first allega-
tion is that the complaint was not
made by the county attorney, at
torney general or any one author
lied by law to make the COM
plant. Mayor Skinner made the
complaint and it is the contention
of the attorneys for the defense
that he has exceeded his authority.
Other allegations are that the no
tice to the defendant concerning
the goods seized is indefinite in
description and that he is not in
formed as to when and where the
issues will be heard.
They ask that the warrant be
held void and that DR.. Kociell's
goods be returned to him.
The issues will be thrashed out
before Judge Gillett in October, in
all probability.

Two Mexicans Killed

Two Mexicans were run over
and killed by the train at Belvi-
dere Wednesday afternoon. They,
IN company with a number of 9TH
er Mexlcans, were on a work train
which was hauling dirt in dump
cars. The train was in three sec
tlons and these two Mexicans were
sitting on an end of car in one of
the sections and as the section at
tached to the engine came in con.
tact with the section down the
track, the jolt threw both of the
men of and the car passed over
them. One was killed instantly
and the other lived until brought
by the train to this city but lived
only about IS minutes after the
crew got him here. Dr.. Coleman,
Santa Fe physician, was phoned
IN advance and he was at the de,
pot when the train arrived. He
found one leg almost severed and
other bruises and his condition so
weakened bv the loss of blood that
he would not respond to the most
powerful stimulants.
The one killed instantly had his
chest crushed and both arms brok-
en-.
Both bodies were buried in
Highland cemetery Thursday. The
expenses, it is said, were defrayed
by the company.

Drinking Cups to Go

The order of the State Board of
Health ordering the abolition of
the common drinking cup in school
rooms, trains and depots becomes
effective September I. DR.. S. /.
Crumbine sent out copies of the
order yesterday. There is much
opposition to this order even
among school men and school pa
irons. 1t will be necessary here
after either to have Individual
drinking cups or to have conven-
lent slot machines from which
cheap paper drinking cups may be
secured.-Topeka Capital.
This order is the limit for non
sense. 1t is without reason and if
enforced, will work a hardship on
schools which can not put in SUBJ
stantial drinking fountains.
Take the case of Medicine Lodge
with school of nearly 500: One
can imagine the annoyance that
500 individual drinking cups will
create.
Nobody has yet been able to
show that disease has been con-
tracted by the public drinking cup
in the school room. DR.. C1umbine
seems to be taking himself too Sc
riously.

An Enjoyable Surprise

On last Saturday night, July 18TH
quite number of 'lads' and '1as-
sizes" gathered at the home Of WI.
Whitton, Route No. 7, Kiowa, to
spring a little surprise on Miss En-
ma Whitton. These young people
came from far and wide, from both
Moore and Kiowa townships. The
best part about this surprise was,
that 1t was surprise. The first
guests who entered found Miss
Emma in her workaday clothes and
she and her brother, George, were
singing like larks at the organ.
There were over forty youngsters
who soon gathered in the house to
make merry. After many games
and much fun we were invited to
a table which groaned with good
things. Miss Emma wouldn't tell
her age, of course, which is natural
for young ladies, but we heard
someone say ''Skiddoo" which will
give you a hint. Mr.. and Mrs
Whitton are truly the soul of hos.
pitality, and this occasion was nc
exception to the warm welcome
they always extend to friends
Finally we all turned to the home.

present in wishing Miss Whittor

The Lenox woman, proprietress
OF the LenoX sanitarium in Wichi-
ia, who is under arrest on the Sc
lrious charge of infanticide, formerly
lived IN kingman and has a person
al acquaintanceship with seveaal
people in this city. The revela-
tions brought to light by Wichita
detectives, as published in the Bea-
con, concerning the nefarious wo. k
carried on at the sanitaruim strike
terror to the hearts of the people
everywhere and civilized man can
only stand aghast in mute wonder
ment that a city should have toler-
rated such savagery so long. One
glance into such den of iniquity
has the tendency to cause right
minded people to become skeptical
on the subject of civilized man and
long for a transformation into les.
ser spheres of life. The human
mind, heart and soul can become
lofty and elevating but they can
also descend into depths of deprav-
lty, stencil and ghoulish, hendish
horrors that is sufficient to cause
ones blood to freeze in the system.
According to several farmers in
this vicinity, the pure food and
drug law passed, by the last legis-
lature is misnomer and If has
been suggested that the word
"pure" in reality means poor"
One case, especially, was brought
to our notice on Saturday. Many
farmers have been using Hanford's
Balsam of Myrrh to cure their
horses of CALLED shoulders, wire
cuts and other sores and those who
have been using it claim there is
nothing equal to it. The dealers
here have recently exhausted their
supply and made additional orders
to the G. c. Hanford Mfg. Co. of
Syracuse, New York, but were sur
prised at receiving a letter
stating that on account of
the new Kansas law they were
prohibited from selling the medi-
cine in this state. The letter states
that in order to comply with the
law the goods would have to
be made poorer and less effective
and this the company could not
afford to do. The legislatures of
Kansas, in recent years, excelled
every state in the union in enact
ing foolish and hlrtfuI laws. Per-
haps some day the people will
wake up and send men of sense to
] the legislature.
