a practical miller, having gradu.

big success of his new venture.
He has put in the Plansifter sys-

Best Clothes Stolen
DR.. J. H. Boswell Had to Borrow
Clothes to Wear When He
Went to Visit His
Mother-in-Law.

A few days ago DR.. Boswell
and wife made up their minds to
go to Lawrence to spend Christ
mas with Mrs. Boswell's mother.
Accordingly the doctor dragged
forth his best clothes, for when
you go to visit your mother-in-
law, you know you must wear
your best clothes, so she will not
think she made a mistake in let
ting the girl get married. Well,
anyway, whether that is the way
to do or not, that is the way the
doctor did, and he was foolish
enough to leave his package, con-
tanning his best suit, out on a
bench in front of Dents store last
Friday night while he went into
Reddy's drug store for something.
When he went back after his
package it was gone, and the
doctor was up against it good
and hard.
He reported the matter to the
marshal and the marshal got
busy. The officer remembered
that he had seen a colored fellow
named Henry Long carrying a
package earlier in the evening
and Charlie Rossman, who works
in at Dents remembered seeing a
cOlored fellow pick up a package
from in front of the store. He
aud the marshal, Henry Horton,
got together and compared notes,
the net result being that they de-
;ided that the colored gentleman
had decided to dress up at the ex-
pense of DR.. Boswell. The doctor
was going away on the train
which left at 2:30 in the MORN
ng, but he swore to a complaint
before he left, and Saturday
morning Marshal Horton hunted
ip Mr.. Colored Man. He found
lin out by hedge near the rail-
'oad, where he was waiting for a
rain to Joplin. Horton gathered
lin in and brought him to town
Ind locked him up in the Jail. A
ew minutes afterward Charlie
oolster heard of the a fair and
old Horton the colored man had
eft a package in the mems store
# Polster Bros, saying he want
ID to leave it for a day or two.
The marshal went to the store
md got the package, which prov
d to be the missing suit. Still
olored fellow denied in toto
verything in connection with the
flair. However, he was arraign-
d before Justice Jones, who
laced him under bond to appear
or a hearing on Wednesday of
his week. Being unable to give

BAXTER OFFERS PRIZE
FOR NEW HURDLE MARK,

1t isn't very often the case that a
world's record holder goes out of his
way to make it possible for others to
deprive him of his hard-earned laurels.
Such, however, is the sportsmanlike ac-
ton taken by Hugh H. Baxter, the
millionaire sport patron of the New
York A. G., who has hung up a hand
some set of prizes for the special 10
yard low hurdle race hat will be n
of the many features of the big meet
of the Press Club in American League
Park on Saturday. Twenty-siX years
& at Rutland, Vt, Mr.. Baxter won a
15-yard low hurdle race in 10 As sec
onds, establishing a record that has
stood the test of competition ever since.
The feet fence-fyers who will flock to
American League Park on Saturday
will attempt to smash the record of the
man who is himself donating prizes for
the event.
The metropolitan champion. Jack
H%artranft; the former champion and
several times record holder, Jack Eller;
Roy Dorland, of the Pastime A. G.; Bob
Eller, of the Irish-American A. G., and
several other star timber toppers will
try for Bakers record. From the form
displayed by the cracks in the last few
weeks it almost is a certainty thai the
record will be smashed to smithereens.

including Glenn H.. Curtiss, the Bird

JACK DUNN TRIES BOY PITCHER ON The TIGERS

fielders made all kinds of horseshoe
catches. The greatest one of the game
was pulled off by Heitmuller in the
ninth inning on Bill Louden when two
were down and one man was on base.
Louden hit the ball fairly and
squarely on the nose, and it seemed
that it must sail a mile over the big
GermHn's head, but the Oriole out
fielder put on full steam and went with
express-train speed toward the centre
field bleachers. Even then it was far
over his head, but he leaped into the
air, stretched Hike a rubber man and
speared the ball with one hand while
still in the air. 1t was several min
utes before the umpires and players
realized that he had gotten the ball.
Then the Tigers, still dazed and
~dumfounded. madA toward the club
house. Louden was rounding second
and Ganley had crossed the plate when
Heitmuller made the sensational spear.
That was only a sample of Kronau's
luck.
Some More Catches.
In the Newark section of the fifth
session three catches almost as lificult
were made by the enemy, robbing Tim
norman, Ganley and Gettman of seem
ingly sure hits when two were on base.
Rube Waddell started this inning by
drawing a pass and also establishing n
new record for himself by getting OH
first base twice in succession. Previ-
ously he had singeG to centre, making
one of Newark's two hits. Jack Kelly
was credited with the other safety.
With Waddell on first Zimmerman got
one to his liking and slapped it amid
ships toward the port side portion of
the pasture. Had Cy Seymour been
playing in his regular position he would
never have gotten near the bulb. bat
the speedy Walsh was after it like a
fash and captured the pellet as it
was descending near the fence. Then
Ganley met another offering of Kro-
nan and sent it whizzing on a line
toward right. 1t was five feet out of
Rath's reach at the start and was Just
about the right height. but the diminu-
tive second-sacker did a jumping-jack
stunt and electrified the fans with
another sensational catch. BY this
time Ruhe addict was beginning to
wonder if he would ever get away from
first. He got a notion hat he could
steal, and he took Egan by surprise
and set sail for the midway perch.
Egan threw the ball out of Rath's
reach and Waddell went all the way "a
third, despite the fact that he PAUSED
to get his bearings when he reached tins
keystone cushion. It was now up t.
Gettman to produce. and Gettman put
the timber to the leather with a re-
sounding whack that was heard for
blocks, but Hietmuller had been play
ing a mile out, and he just reached the
ball in the depths of the centre field
jungle. 1t o o three relays to get the
