daughter, Margaret, aged 10, was
fatally shot at Willard, N. NJ, last

claim, having a small rifle in the
wagon. In some manner the
weapon was discharged, the bullet
entering the brain of the little girl

HAS THE MOTOR
GRAND QUIT FOR GOOD?
Looks As Though the North and
South Road Has FizZled.

Following is a letter from c. F,
Davis, of Belleville, Kas., secretary
of the Motor Grand Traction COM
pany, which has proposed to buill a
railroad from Newton to Salina via.
Roxbury and Gypsum. The circular
letters have been mailed to all par
ties interested in the proposition.
Bellevllle, Kas., July 27.-"At a
meeting Of the board of directors of
the Motor Grand Traction company,
held on July 26, 1t was decided to
suspend active operation work Of the
enterprise, which the company has
In hand, for few weeks.
This action was deemed advisable
because of the fact that the banks in
the state are showing great reluc-
lance to allow any considerable
amounts Of money to be drawn out
before the crops of the year begin
to move.
We wish to assure all who have a
kindly feeling for Motor Grand that
the action of the board is not to be
taken as indicating the proposition
is dead or even moribund.
There never had been a time when
the prospects of success for the en-
terprise have been better.
Men financially strong stand ready
to put in the necessary money to
start active construction, and only
the temporary stringency in money
centers has made 1t appear wise to
make haste slowly.-By order of
board of directors. C. F. Davis,
chairman"
1t will be remembered that abb
lene, salina and Newton had a road
well under way when the Motor
Grand crowd butted in and proposed
to leave Dickinson county out. Then
Abilene quit.
It was reported some time ago
that the promoter of the road was
having trouble with the financial
part Of his proposition. The firm
which was going to finance the
scheme, had according to this report,
gone back on him, and he had enter
ed into negotiations with new con-
eern. Since that time very little
has been heard Of the Motor Grand

SMOKY HAS FLOATING ISLANDS.
Heavy Rains Cause Them to Start
Down Stream.

Ever know there were floating is
lands in the Smoky Hill river? Well
there are.
No, no wild animals or cannibals
inhabit them. There is scarcely any
life at all save an occasional butter
fly or water spider and, where the
islands are stronger than usual, per-
haps a frog or a trurtle.
These islands are formed of small
drift wood which has lodged in mid
stream during the drouth, dust accu-
INFLATED on them and turned to mud.
Occasionally these drifts break
loose after a heavy rain and go down
stream a small but perfect floating
island.

errors the Abileneites made. In

Chapman registered 10 scores and

dent the rubber five times, but MAJ
