Seattle Physician Pinned to Mat
in Two Minutes.
The Match Enlivened by Fist
Fight.

Kansas City, April 8.-Yussif Nah
mout, the Turkish wrestler. defeated
DR.. B. F. Roller of Seattle in straight
falls in their match here last night.
The first fall was secured in 35 min
utes 80 seconds. with a double wrist
lock and a scissors hold. The sec
ond fall took but two minutes and 80
seconds and was obtained with an arm
lock and a half-Nelson.
Roller never appeared to have a
chance to win. Mahmout forced the
contest from the beginning and OBJ
tanned dangerous holds with little diff
ficulty. The physician did not get the
Turk in trouble at any time.
Rollers poor showing might have
been due in a measure to his poor
condition. After the first fall Jack Cur
ley, Rollers manager, insisted his man
had injured his right shoulder and
proposed the bout be stopped. Club
ofiAials forced Roller to finish the
match.
Before the contest started, Curley
refused to permit Dave Porteus, the
official referee of the club, to of1ciate.
Daniel Shay, manager of the Kansas
City baseball team, was substituted as
arbitrator. This action led to a fight
between Curley and Porteus later. The
police stopped it.

Anronos an article in the state
Journal Tuesday evening. March - IN
which 1t was stated. under a Herring

visiting the Burbach home in Herring
ton. the relatives and friends of the
so-called ghost deny the story ana
claim that the house mentioned is not
haunted.
The story was written as a rumor
from Harrington and was simply
repetition of the talk that was preVa-
lent in that city for many months
after the death of Mr. BurDacn-
was not written with anJ intention OF
doing an injustice to the relatives OF
the late Mr.. Burbach and there was
no malice in connection with the writ
ing of the story.
In the article it was stated ehde
the house had been vacant for some
time after the death of the old man.
The relatives state that the house mas
been vacant but short une

These people are so sure of their as

The people of Herington have been
talking about the alleged ghost for
some time and the origin of the story
that it came originally from the pug

At any rate, it has been denied by all
concerned and is simply another of

THE b. v. & n. RAILROAD.
Will Be Good Thing for Southwestern
Kansas When Built.

Liberal, Kan, April 8.-The Beaver
Valley & Northwestern railroad which
was chartered in Oklahoma about
three years ago to run from Oklahoma
City to the coal fields in Colorado has
again come into the limelight.
This road was to have been built two
years ago but owing to the panic some
difficulty was experienced in financing
the proposition and it is only recently
that the company's efforts to interest
capital have been successful. 1t is now
expected that active construction will
commence at some point in Oklahoma
within the next few weeks.
This railroad will be a valuable as
set to western Oklahoma and south
western Kansas when completed, since
it gives this section a direct route to
the coal fields and opens up a rich
farming section which has heretofore
remained dormant on account of the
absence of railroad facilities.

DID NOT HURT SEED CORN.
Experiments Show That the Drouth
Last Year Did Not Affect 1t.

Manhattan, Kan, April 8.-Experi-
ments recently finished at the State
Agricultural college carry the assur-
ance to farmers that the corn crop
this year will not suffer because of the
drouth and hot weather last August.
1t was feared by some that the I'M
favorable weather last summer had
injured the vitality of the seed corn
and that this years crop would be
scanty.
Samples of seed corn from all over
the state were tested at the college
and the result showed that the average
termination was high. The germina-
ton was lowest in the nothern corn,
but even those samples showed salts
factory vitality.

Wichita, Kan, April s.-Professor
L. L. Dyche, state fish and game war
den, declared that if the farmers of
Kansas will follow his advice he will
establish enough ponds to give every
fish once each week, which would be
$3,000,0 900 worth of fish each year. He
wants the farmers to build fish ponds
and will issue a bulletin in a short time
on how to build the ponds and how to
select fish for stocking them and how
to feed the fish. He is now visiting
ponds which are being built and says
most of them are not properly con-
structed.

Mitchell county Mr. Neiswanger is so
familiar with the country that he is
plotting the party over the projected
route. They went from here to Sa-
lima and Will return to Cawker City
and Smith Center. All agree that the
proposed route is feasible and that it
will pass through a rich farming coun-
try, thickly populated, and at this time
without railroad conveniences. Other
paper railroads have been projected
over this same route. and it seems to
be a matter of only short time when
this territory will be occupied by
either this projected line or some other
one.
