Packer infield. caused by the retire

The acquisition of Smith COM
pIetes the makeup of the Sioux City
team. In the inf1eld will be Fred
Hunter at first base. George Andreas
at second, Smith at shortstop and
Battle AK Welch at third. In the
outfieId will be Stovall, Campbell and

cludes Buck Freeman, "DeP' Alder
man, Fromme, Melter, Taylor and
jacobson. Catchers are Towne,
Vance and Clapper and probably
Shea, who is holding out for more
money. The club looks as if it would
make the other mines in the league
go some to capture the pennant.

WHERE ARE HIS DIAMONDS?
New Theory Regarding Death o
IeaVenworth Chinaman.

Leavenworth, Kan, Feb. ga
mystery in connection with the tragic
end of the life of DR.. All Sam Lang,
the Chinese physician, presents the
basis of theories which may develop
into an explanation of his death, eth
er as a motive for suicide or possibly
even a cunningly devised murder. 1t
became known yesterday that ten
days before All Sam was found un-
conscious in his room in the stupor
that preceded his death, he was seen
on a car bound for Kansas City wear
ing his diamonds two gems of an ag
gregate value of hardly less than ST.
900, according to persons who were
familiar with the physician. When the
coroner searched DR.. All Sans effects
he found little of value, just a few
papers and collection of drugs and
trinkets It is advanced as the most
plausible theory that DR.. All Sam, for
lorn, impoverished and discouraged,
took the last remnants of his former
affIuence to Kansas City pawn shop,
and seeking surcease in gambling, the
all absorbing passion of his race, lost
his all. Such a course followed by
the abject despair and Indifference to
life that only the Chinese are capable
of, followed by self-inficted death, is
highly consistent with the character
istic traits of the man.

USE HEAD WATER
Syracuse Has a New Irrigation
Project for West Kansas.
VIII Utilize Overflow of Arkan-
sas for This Purpose.
AFTER SOULE DITCH.
Efforts to Induce Government
to Convert 1t to a Canal.
Colorado Company Wants Eng
liSh Title to Lands.
SOULE DITCH.

Syracuse, Kan, Feb. 23.-Engineers
have been going over the Soule ditch in
this county this week, getting infor-
nation regarding it, probably to be
used in the effort which is being made
by company to get hold of this prop
erty preparatory to launching a large
project in irrigation and land deals. A
short time ago the Colorado Investment
company took up the matter of acquir-
ing the rights of the English syndicate
which at least did at one time hold a
title to this ditch, with the view of an
extensive enterprise in land and irriga-
ton.
There is another big scheme on foot
which may, or may not be part of
the same movement, starting from a
different direction. On February 27, al
which representatives from the towns
and commercial clubs of towns along
the Arkansas have been invited. The
secretary of the commercial club has
ing country. The invitations are sent
out by the commercial club of SYRIA
cuse, and they state that the object of
the meeting is to devise ways and
hold of a flood water ditch in western
Kansas. The idea is to bring a canal
out of the Arkansas at some point in
Colorado, through which the waste
may be brought through Hamilton,
Kearney, Finney, Gray and Ford coun-
ties, and what remains of it after being
used along the route for winter irriga-
tion and filling storage ponds to be re-
turned to the river near KinSley.
A project of this kind, naturally,
would require the use of the old Soule
ditch in Ford and Gray counties and
even if there is no connection between
these two projects now, there would be
in the event of the government taking
hold of the plan urged now at Syracuse.
They claim for the project of a gov
ernment canal that it would prevent
destructive floods in the future, and
that the continual loss of bridges on
the Arkansas would be a thing of the
past, well as all of the other dam
ages incurred by floods
The thing looks feasible enough, and
it may be that some one has al last
figured out an Arkansas water scheme
which may be put through to the great
benefit of the counties along the river.
There seems to be a good deal of force
at work along this line of action,
whether it has started from some pri-
vate company or not.
If the government can be interested
in the idea it can be found out at least
whether or not the plan is practical,
and if practical the government might
be induced to take it up. The time is
coming when water will not be allowed
to go to waste in this western coun/ry,
and the present movement toward that
end should at least be investigated

Former Lightweight Champion
Bested by Summers.
English PugiIist Wins Decision
on Points.
HARDLUCK
Slipped Twice and Lost Speed in
the Clinches.
DecisiOn of Referee Popular
With British Spectators.

London, Feb. 23.-Johnny Summers
the English pugilist, last night receiv-
| ed the decision over Jimmy Britt in a
20 round bout. The fight was held be-
fore the National Sporting club.
A big crowd was present, there be-
ing great interest in the bout owing to
the lively fight these two men put UP
last November. On that occasion the
go was 10 rounds and Britt was the VIC
tor Last night Summers got the de-
cision on points.
Both Summers and Britt had trained
hard for this meeting and were in far
better condition than when they met
before. During the early stages Britt
did most of the leading, apparently
starting out with view to secure a
knockout. He made the mistake, how
ever, of holding in clinches more than
is usual in England, and came in for
much adverse criticism and several
warnings from Eugene Corri, who Off
ciated as referee.
Britt had the misfortune to slip twice
to the floor when engaged in lively mix
ups and these falls were almost as eff
fectiVe in taking the speed out of him
as though they had resulted from a
right or left swing. Up to the sixth
or eighth rounds Britt had the better
of the bout but from that on Summers
improved and honors were even at the
close of the tenth. After that, although
Britt was always strong, the English
man had somewhat the better of him,
and the decision in Summers favor was
a popular one. Before leaving the ring
Britt said that he accepted the award
plaint to make, but he still thought he
was the better man.

GARDEN CITY IN LINE.
Western Kansas Town Votes Bonds
for Three Roads.

Garden City, Kan, Feb. 23.-With
a vote ranging from 9 and 10 to 1. the
propositions to issue terminal bonds
for the benefit of the three railroads
building into Garden City have car
ried. The sentiment was quite favor
able throughout the town after the
conditions of the propositions were
learned and it was the general feeling
that the investment was worth max
ing if the roads were built and if any
of them should fail of building, there
would be no loss to the town. The re-
suits of the election provides $4,000
in bonds for each of the three lines,
the Nebraska, Kansas & Southern,
the Kansas Colorado and the Garden
City. Gulf & Northern, when the line
shall be built into Garden City and
shall begin operating trains. The
propositions were made in three Sepa-
rate propositions so that the failure of
any line to build would not work a
hardship on the line that did build.
