New Through Fr.'sh. Train.

Beginning today the Santa Fe will
operate through freight trains from
Pueblo and the west direct to Jop-
lin. Mo-. which will mean a material
saving In time. They will utilize the
Howard Branch to Chanute and from
Chanute to Pittsburg. From Pitts
burg to Joplin. the tracks Of the
Kansas City Southern will be used,
making a big cutoff from the Kan
sas City junction point.
The Santa Fe will use the tracks
Of the Kansas City Southern also
from Kansas City to Joplin. but for
western shipments to Joplin the
more direct route will be used. This
will enable western shippers to Sc
cure = lower freight rate to south
and southwestern Missouri points. .thus
avoiding the transfer at Kansas City.

Nearly Got the Reward.

Since the capture of "Nigger Bob"
many stories have been old OF
hairbreadth escapes and numerous ru'
mors are current concerning the hid.
ing Of the fugitive. and Just as nu-
merous are the tales OF those who
knew where he was and his move
ments from the start.
The most unique. however. is the
story Charles McVey tells on Lee

around fuckers barber shop all day
with two guns strapped on him walt

Marrow Eseape-6oth Ways.

II is said that Will Wright. well
known In the valley as publicity
agent for the American Beet Sugar
Company. almost stepped on Harris.
as the latter was hid In the grass
and weeds along the ditch the day
following the shooting. Wright was
one OF the hundreds. well armed with
guns, who searched the county far
and wide for the desperate. Once
Wright spotted an old gunny sack
laying near the top OF the bank. in
the weeds. He stopped and quickly
brought his Winchester to his shoul-
der. thinking II might be the much
sought murderer. Wrights heart mo.
mcntarily ascended to his mouth. so
to speak. but he quickly discovered
there was no colored gentleman hid
there.
Wright afterwards learned from
Harris himself that the murderer was
at that moment hid not more than
ten feet away. Harris thought that
Wright would surely see him, and
was all ready to put up vicious
fight for life and liberty.-Fowler

Experience Of kansa. City.

The close Of 1910 saw Kansas City
Kan, established on cash paying
basis. with 4 surplus In every one Of
Its funds except the lighting fund.- Its
floating debt almost wiped out and
none OF the revenue for 1871 used for
the expenses OF 1910.
That was the condition financially
at the close Of the first nine months
OF government by commission as an.
nounced by Charles w. Green, com.
missioner OF finance and revenue. II
was the result, he says, OF a strict ad
herence to the provision OF the COM
mission law that requires a municipal
corporation to live within its means.
1t is pointed out that when the
commissioners took charge in April
1910, the funds for the entire year
practically had been used in ad-
vance. and there was an indebtedness
against nearly every fund.
ui'b VI 'hN 'i'y 'hU
new rule was seventeen square miles,
while the area in 1909 under the
council jurisdiction was ten square
miles. The assessed valuation OF the
enlarged city made in 1910 on which
to collect taxes for 1871 expenses is
$4,000 900 against an assessed valua-
tion OF $7l 100000 made up In 1909
! for 1910 expenses OF the city be-
fore the extension OF its limits. and
the rate OF taxation In the larger
city for all purposes is the same
under the 1910 levy as under that OF
1909.
when commission government be-
gan the acquisition of new territory
had seriously depleted the treasury"
Mr.. Green said. There was an in
debtedness against every fund. This
has been paid. except a small amount
in the lighting fund. and the com
missioners have managed to get along
without drawing In advance on antici.
pated revenues. AZ WAS the custom
for years under the old council rule"

Bullet in Marsha, klppsr's Neck.

Night Marshal Jacob Kipper. who
was shot in the mouth by Bob Har.
ris on the night OF July ith. when
he instantly killed Marshal Craig. was
brought to La Junta last Wedne sday
and taken to the Valley Hospital for
the purpose Of having an X-ray ex-
animation to determine the exact 10
cation OF the bullet In his neck. Kip
per was shot In the face. the bullet
penetrating the upper lip. plowing a
furrow across the top Of his
tongue and lodging In the back Of
the neck. The X.ray developed the
fact that the bullet Ia located In
the processes surrounding the spine.
and 1t is probable that an operation
to remove II would prove fatal. After
locating the bullet the Rocky Ford
physicians decided to take MIR. Kip
per to Denver, and left for that place
on No. II Thursday, accompanied by
the wife OF the injured man, where
he will be placed under the care of
Dr. Leonidas Freeman in an effort to
save his life.

Tyrus. the King.

There is nothing like Tyrus the

Mr.. Cobb. of Georgia, is the most
wonderful baseball player that ever
lived. Not only do the figures show
1t. but Jimmy Callahan, who is the
best example OF thirty-seven year

substantiates the statement Said Cal
lahan recently:
There never was a player In the
world who could do what Ty Cobb is
doing today. Cobb, under conditions
much more stringent than were en-
countered by the stars of other days.
is doing greater work than any of
them at bat, on bags and in the field.
And the wonderful part OF II is
he is doing 1t every day. and never
sustains an injury or hurt. but is
diurnal asset to Jennings. There
is little doubt in my mind that Cobb
