HARVEST BEGAN IN FORD COUNTY
THIS WEEK With A GRAND RUSH
Eleven Days Later Than the Beginning Of Harvest Here Last
Year-Many Heavy Yields, and in Nearly Every Locality
in the County.
perintendent Of Edwards county for
one term.

One Of the fields Of wheat which
has been spoken Of as among the best
in the county, is 200 acre field
owned by VIM. Perkins southwest Of
Spearville. A while back it was es
timated that this field would Weld
S5 bushels TO the acre. and after that
report was heard here there was an
other rain in that locality, so that the
estimate is not likely TO be too high.
Eight hundred acres in one field o
splendid yield and the entire field
standing even, is sight on the s. Il.
Ward ranch. twelve miles southeast
of town that will not be forgotten soon
by any one who has seen it. This
field is a part Of about HOO acres
that Mr.. Ward has, or those to whom
the land has been rented. 1t has
been estimated that there will be
about25, ,O00bushels Of wheat threshed
on the Ward place this year. They
began harvesting last week. Mr..
Ward recently shipped out some ex-
ira mule teams and a lot OF large
wagons for hauling away the wheat.
The Ward ranch was formerly known
as the Lord ranch. Mr.. Ward is q
Leavenworth county man, and still
has bis home between Tonganoxie
and Leavenworth, but be has become
so much interested in his Ford county
investments that he is about as much
at home here now as in Leaven worth
county. he is planning to have l.,
500 acres in wheat the coming sea-
son, and thinks that he can beat the
$3.50 crop he has this year.

time contract with the present com
pany, it would be a better business
move than to spend from $4,000 to
100000 on a city plant, and have to
make prices to the people on that
basis. DR.. Milton seemed to have a
hopeless undertaking on his hands,
but be made a great single-handed
fight, and won a two weeks "stay OF
execution" Mr.. Kirkpatrick, who
was present, and who is we'll known
as favoring municipal ownership,
made short talk, stating that he be
lieved under the circumstances ii
would be advisable to not hurry the
matter for q week or two. just as il
appeared that vote would be taken
within few seconds, the matter took
q turn, and the council all agreed ia
to postpone the vote until the next
regular meeting, July Z, and in the
meantime to put proposition up to
Mr.. Theis as the final one that the
council would consider, giving him
ten days in which to act upon it. The
council adjourned until Tuesday nigh
when they were to meet to arrange .
schedule Of rates and requirements
to submit TO Mr.. Theis. The electric
The Globe-republican., 1909-07-01

lights were off when the council met,
and an adjournment to last night
was taken.
Last nights meeting was for the
purpose OF fixing up q schedule of
rates, to see if the present water
company could furnish water cheaper
than municipal plant could afford
to The council however at this
meeting did not get to that point, and
in the end, Mr.. Theis. who was pres
ent, stated that from the expression
Of some OF the councilmen it did not
appear to him that the council would
make contract on any rates that the
company could stand, and that in his
opinion the proposition that they
could come the nearest getting to-
getner on would be the purchase Of
the plant. Mr.. Theis was 10 take the
report Of the councils engineer, hook
it over and determine whether or not
be would be willing to base the valu-
alton Of the water mains, pipes, etc.,
on that report. so as to be ready to
talk to the council at meeting TO be
held at 4 O'Clock this afternoon.

WILL OWN PLANT
Council And Mayor Want To
Buy Or Build Water
Works System.
FIGURING ON PRICE TODAY
May Buy Everything But Power
Plant And. Company
Furnish Power.

At special called meeting Of the
city council last Monday evening, Q
motion to submit bond proposition
to the voters Of Dodge City, fol
building or buying a waterworkt
system was made. There was q
second to the motion, and a discus
sion followed.
At least six out Of the eight council
men seemed to favor passing reso-
luton that it was the sense Of the
council that the city should own and
operate its own plant. DR.. Milton
contended that as the council had
employed a civil engineer for the
purpose OF obtaining figures on the
value Of the present plant, the cost
Of operating it, the needed improve
ments etc., intending to take up the
matter of rates with the present COM
pany, that the council should first
submit a proposition to Mr.. Tbeis,
and give him a chance to accept q
ten year contract Ut figure that
would be satisfactory to the people
here. In a letter received from Mr..
Theis, and which had been read OF
the opening Of the meeting Monday
night, Mr.. Theis stated that with the
other lines Of business they we're op-
Grating here, his company could
furnish water service at q lower rate
than the city with aplant Of its own.
DR.. Milton took the figures OF the
councils engineer, showing that the
present plant, with the improvements
necessary to furnish a sufficient
water supply, would represent an in
vestment Of abou. $4,000 or between
that and $4,000. DR.. Milton wanted
to figure out a schedule ot rates on
this basis, and submit q proposition
to the company.
His argument was that II the city
could secure good water service on
basis Of $4,000, BY making q short

to the acre. Peter Sharpf has q fine
field that will make good yield.
There are strips in some localities
where the wheat is light Close to
the light fields often, may be seen a
good heavy field Of wheat. The dif-
ference seems to be in the method Of
farming. tits, Of course, difficult
matter to give any close estimate on
the average in the entire county.
The grain seems to be large, plump
and very heavy, the kind Of wheat
that may be expected to weight out
more than one would expect from
seeing the crop standing in the field.

RAISING PRIZE WINNERS
Two Big Ford County Ranches That Arc
Better Known Away From Home
Than They Are Here.

Two Big Ford County Ranches That Are
Better Known Away From Home
Than They Are Here.
There are two stock ranches in
Ford county that are perhaps better
known in Kansas City than they are
here at home, because little has been
said about them here, while car load
lots Of fat Aberdeen Angus steers
from these ranches have frequently
carried off the prizes at the Ameri-
can Stock shows at Kansas City, and
brought high prices on the market
there for fancy beef. "The Yuccas"
ranch, established few years ago by
j. G.. Breakey, is one Of the large
ranches Of the county; but it has not
been extensively improved yet. Mr.
Breakey keeps his herd Of Aberdeen
Angus up TO the number Of 300 or
more, not all thoroughbre ds, but
those that are not thoroughbred are
high grade, and easy winners in a
beef show. The Diamond Park"
ranch, owned by w. B. Warner, is
an older established ranch with fine
improvements, and has herd Of 500
and upwards Of Aberdeen Angus
cattle. Mr.. Warner has been pulling
in prizes at the big stock shows at
Kansas City. There are extensive
improvements, including a sixteen
room residence on the ranch and
fine grove. The grove is what was
originally timber claim which was
taken by Geo. M. Hoover, Of Dodge
City, and planted to trees. These
two ranches in the north least part Of
Ford county have given the county
some good advertising away from
home. While little has been heard
Of them here at home they are among
the important fine stock ranches Of
OF Western Kansas.

ANOTHER NICE SHOWER.

Shower win Helm.

There was a nice shower Of rain
here last night. II was not ordered
because harvest is on and the wheat
growers would prefer dry weather
for the next week. The weather OBJ
server here reports a fall of 80 OF an
inch last night, which is enough to
keep the corn popping, and il the
showers continue through July,

crop In most parts Of the county
it is said, the fields have been well
tended and are free from weeds.

HOW FIRE ALARM
 BOXES ARE SPEEDED
When Work is Done But Two Rounds Will Be Sounded on Tower Bells Instead of Four.

In about four days the work of speeding up the fire alarm boxes will be completed. During six days the alterations to the boxes have been made at the rate of 20 a day. Supt. Barnes and Linemen Mahoney and Platt, of the fire alarm telegraph, have been aided greatly in rushing the work to completion by Chief Mooney who has carried the linemen from the vari- ous box locations to headquarters as fast IS the alarm boxes could be re- moved from their cases. At fire head quarters Supt- Barnes change the striking time of the boxes.
 During the short time that box is out of commission a fireman is stat toned nearby to send in an alarm from the next narest box should occasion arise
 Manufacturing concerns having pri- vate boxes are instructed to send in alarms over the telephone while the boxes in their plants are out
 When the speeding work is completed the big tower bells will sounded two rounds instead of four.

MRS. J. H. TYSON
 ASKS DIVORCE
Sues Wealthy Young Mo tOrist Who Ran Fatal Race
 With the McCormacks.
Greenwich Society Stirred

Greenwich, Aug. 4.-Greenwich social circles were deeply stirred when 1t be- came known that Sheriff William E. Ritch had served divorce papers upon John H. Tyson, the wealthy young Riverside man whose various automo- bile exploits have been public gossip. These included his race with the Mc- Cormacks, in which both MT. and Mrs. Mccormack lost their lives, and his alleged killing of an aged man named Gunderson about eighteen months ago in New York city.
 The papers served by the sheriff con- tain the petition for divorce and ali mony of Tyson's bride of little more than a year, Mrs. Grace Tyson. (nee Starr,) and an attachment, after the income of MT. Tyson amounting to $15,O00 a year.
 The writ alleges habitua1 intemper- ance, intolerable cruelty, and adultery. The petition alleges that "the defend ant for more than a year past has, been, and is now, habitually intemper- ate," and that the defendant on di- vers days between Nov. 15, 190S and the date of this writ has been guilty of intolerable cruelty to the peti- tioner.''
 It also charges misconduct with other women.
 The petition also says that "the de- fendant has an interest in certain real
 
 receives an income of S15,000 a year,
 Tyson was married on May g of last year to Miss Starr, who is the daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. R. Starr of New York City. Dr. Starr had a summer place in Riverside and for several years was Commodore of the Riverside Yacht Club. Miss Starr is young woman, now about 25 years old.
 Three weeks ago Dr. and Mrs. Starr sialed for extended tour through Europe. Mrs. Tyson'S only near rela- tive residing in the country whom peo- pie here know of is her brother.
 It is understood that while Tyson was in Greenwich yesterday Mrs. Tyson left her home without her husbands knowledge. Her attorney, Galen A. Carter of the firm of Fessenden. Car ter & Co.,, of Stamford, refused to tell where she had gone, saying that he had very good and particular reasons for not giving out the information.
 Young TysOn's fortune comes to him from his grandfather, George I. Ty- son, who was one of the heads of the American News Company and founder of the Tyson ticket agencies. It was held in trust for young Tyson by his grandmother, Mrs. George I. Tyson, who died at Riverside about a month ago. In Tyson'S ISotta, Strang won the Briarcliff race
