NEGRO RUNS AMUCK
KILLS. THREE AND
WOUNDS ANOTHER

About five O'Clock this morn.
ing a negro by the name of
Green Dismuke entered t h g
house of Charles Nixon another
negro, and without warning, be.
gan to shoot at everything in
sight.
AS the smoke cleared away it
was found that he mad killed his
wife, Hattie Dismuke, his father
in law, oCharles Nixon and his
wife s.sister, Doc Nixon and SER
iously wounded his mother in
law.
Dismukes used a 42:4O Win.
chester.
Immediately after doing the
shooting Dismuke was seen leav.
ing the house and starting off
down the railroad toward EN-
met. Deputy Sheriff Holloway
arrived on the scene of shooting
early and with two blood hounds
started in pursuit. He returned
here about two o'clock and re-
ported that the dogs cad lost the
trail of the negro close to Bolis
vars switch and were unable TO
find it again.
1t seems that the difficulty
arose over the fact that Dismuke
about five months ago, moved to
Holman; his wife refused to go
with him and went to live with
her patents. Dismuke returned
to Prescott and took two of his
children away with him, but the
parents refused to let the wife
go with them.
The shooting occurred in the
part of the city known as Mill
Town.

WOMAN'S CHRISTIAN
TEMPERANCE UNION

So many good things eread
of Kansas. Her governor is not
ashamed or afraid to advocate
prohibition on the public plat
form in the platform of his own
state and in those of other
states, and that too, with no I'M
certain sound.
But here comes the press, one
OF the greatest mOulders of pub.
lie opinion eXtant, because it
reaches everybody. All of us
hail such a declaration from such
a source with the profoundest of
gratitude, and the more so,
since it was received with a
storm of applause and unani-
mously adopted" at their State
Editorial Association.
1t is as follows: AS an as
ISOLATION that is non partisan
and one that is in touch with
public opinion in the state, we
depreciate the movement organ
lied outside of Kansas 20 thrust
upon its people a foreign politi-
cal issue in the proposed repeal
Of constitutional prohibition.
The people of Kansas have re-
peatedly declared their approval
of the prohibitory policy, the ov-
erwhelming sentiment in Kansas
is for its enforcement, not for it's
repeal, and the liquor interests
in this invasion of the state need
not look for neither aid nor COM
fort from the Kansas press.
This association is practically
unanimous in support of the law
and desires to express to editors
of newspapers and magazines in
other states the fact that fair,
comparative study of conditions
here and elsewhere will prove
that Kansas has solved the liquor
problem, and that recent maga-
ziae articles tending to discredit
prohibition in Kansas do not, in
any sense, describe the general
conditions, nor the settled judy
ment of the people of this state"
Again we say, "hurrah for
the Kansas press. F"

FIX UP CHAMP GOTCR

Chicago, May s.-If Worlds Cham
pion Frank Gotch wants to meet
George Hackenschmidt in a match for
the title. he can do so at his own
terms, the terms he demanded OF the
Empire E. c. last week. At that
time Gotch insisted that he be given
$4,000 for his end, win or lose. 81
600 for training expenses and so per
cent Of the profits accruing from the
moving pictures of the contest.
The club, which had agreed to
Gotch's demand for $4,000 for his
end, turned down this proposition and
called Off all negotiations; but Jack
Curley, manager of the Russian
Lion Friday came to the front with
another proposition, whereby the de-
mands OF the Iowan may be gratifed
and the match pulled OF in a Chicago
ring.
So anxious are Curley and Hacken-
schmidt to bring off the meeting be-
tween the Iowan and the Russian that
Curley offers to reimburse Gotch for
the money he demands which is in
excess OF the $4,000 to be given by
the club. This means that CurIey is
taking up the burden as far as back
ing is concerned, for the manager will
have to reimburse his wrestler IL the
match fails to draw a huge crowd.
Curley said Friday he would accept a
of the gate after all the
money demanded by Gotch had been
deducted from the club to take the re-
mainder.

Quincy to secure its release from the
Central association under promise of

pense be apportioned pro rata among
the eight clubs.
Protection for Quincy" has been the
cry of the southern magnates In the
prolongation Of the stubborn battle in

GOOD GAME IMPOSSIBLE.

With clouds Of dust sweeping the
diamond and showers of hits falling
around them, Park Region was busted
under Saturday afternoon, at Fargo
college, by a score Of 80 to 1, The
locals scored thirty hits off the Luth-
Grams and played a non-error game.
Gardner for Fargo struck out ten men,
pitching some of the best ball ever
seen on the local diamond. frost ex-
ecuted an unassisted double at first
and Rusness went clear around in the
seventh.
The game was too one sided to be
interesting from the SPECTATORS point
of view, but 1t gave Coach Watkins
men an excellent practice game. Gard
ner struck out the first four men, not
allowing a hit until the fourth The
Lutherans were able to get three lit
tie singles off Fargo's pitcher.
Two runs in the first, two in the
second and seven in the third gave
Fargo a nice little start and then the
rest was practice. Everything was hit
and run, and the men sure hit Reishus,
knocked him out of the box and then
lift the next man, Ward.
Gardeners work was the feature of
the game. Allowing only three hits,
walking none and striking out ten is
playing good ball. He had the best
kind Of support all the time Not an
error was made during the game by
Fargo The fact that Park Region
played the A. c., Friday. may account
for their shabby playing. Their hitting
was their weakest point.

The game was a balloon ascension

The feature of the game was the

The former secured home run and

also secured one three-bagger and a

Both twirlers were hit hard. The

Fiddler. the Fargo mound artist, was
