FIRE DESTROYS EVIDENCE
Leavenworth Damage Cases May Have
to Be Retired.

LeaveEworth, Kan, April T.
Whether or not several cases tried in
the district court before the destruc-
ton of the stenographic records in the
court house fire will have to be tried
again probably will be determined in
a large measure by a decision which
Judge William Dill will hand down
| Saturday.
The destruction of the evidence has
been used as an argument for the mo-
ton for a new trial of the damage suit
for $4,000 brought against the Mis-
souri, & Kansas Telephone company
| and the .Leavenworth Light, Heat &
Power company by Mrs. Humphrey
/ Biddle.
The Transcribed evidence of all the
cases tried in the district court for
forty years was kept in the court re-
porter's room. There was no vault
there or other protection from fire
1 The Transcribed reports of the cases
were taken from the stenographer' s
notes of each trial. Both shorthand
notes and the typewriter reports were
| lost in the fire.
In the damage suit of Mrs. Biddle
versus the Missouri & Kansas Tele-
phone company and the Leavenworth
Light, Heat and Power company Mrs.
| Biddle sued for $4,000 from each of
| the defendants because of the death
t of her husband. He was killed while
working as lineman for the telephone
SPAAA PdAlJB ACdA4y IWO yC6AS d5Os Inv
! jury gave her the entire amount.
Another case which may be retired
! is the case of Anton Ozorkiewicz
against the Carr Mining and Manufac-
/ turing company. Ozorkiewicz sued for
| $4,000 because of injuries received
while working in the Carr mine. He
was awarded a judgment for $4,000.
Frank Fitzwilliams and Stewart Brew
ster were his attorneys. Records of
/ the RosenfieId-C unningh5m case and
the Harvey-Wellman case also were
among those destroyed

FIRST ARBoR DAY RUN TO-DAY.
Washburn and High School Runners
Compete in Cross Country.

An annual Arbor day cross-country
run has been instituted by Washburn
college and the Topeka high school. The
first race is being run this afternoon
over a five mile course. Nearly a score
of runners are entered in the race.
This event each spring just preceding
the track season is calculated to give
the coaches a good line on their dis
lance men for the track meets In
future runs a loving cup will be put up
as a prize but owing to the sudden de-
cision on such an event lesser prizes
will suffice today.

When carving the Thanksgiving bird
1t is not often necessary to cut up the
whole body of the turkey. But where
every scrap Of the meat will be needed
or you wish to exercise your skill pro-
coed to carve in this manner:
Put the fork in firmly across the
middle of the breastbone. Cut through
the skin between the leg and body.
Bend the leg over and cut off at the
joint If the turkey be very tender or
overlooked the side bone will separate
from the back and come away with
the second joint, making it more diff
cult to separate the thigh from the
side bone. Cut through the top of the
shoulder and separate the wing ut the
joint. Cut of the leg and wing from
the other side. Carve the breast on
each side in thin slices. slanting slight
ly toward the wing. Be careful to
take a portion Of crisp outside with
each slice. Shave off the crisp skin
near the neck in order to reach the
stuff1ng. Insert the point of the knife
at the front of the breastbone. turn
back the wishbone and separate it.
Cut through the cartilage on each side.
separating the collar bones from the
breast. Tip the body slightly over and
slip the knife under the end of the
shoulder blade; turn it over toward the
wing. Repeat this process on the OPP
posite side. Cut through the cartilage
which divides the ribs. separating the
breastbone from the back. Lay the
breast one side and remove the fork
from it.
Take the stufhng from the back.
Turn the back over. place the knife
midway just below the ribs and with
the fork lift up the tail end. separat-
ing the back from the body. Place
the fork in the middle Of the back
bone and cut close to the backbone
from one end to the other on each
side, freeing the side bone. Then d.
vide the legs and wings at the joints.
The joint in the leg is not quite in the
middle of the bend. but trifle nearer
the thigh. 1t requires some practice
to strike these joints in the right spot
Cut off the meat from each side Of the
bone in the second joint and leg, as
these. when large, are more than one
person requires, and it is inconvenient
to have so large bones on ones plate.

TIPS FOR FISHERMEN.

How to Preserve Fish by Packing
Thorn In Paper.
The following method of preserving
fish, originated by the Danish fisheries
agent in London, England, although
meant for commercial fishermen and
fish dealers. will be none the less in
teresting and valuable to sportsmen.
The main point in the preservation.
writes Consul General Wallace G.
Bond of Copenhagen in Recreation.
appears to be to inclose the fish in
some cheap and convenient material
which will keep out the air and pre-
vent the intrusion Of injurious aerial
bacteria.
By this method Of packing the fish
in paper before placing them on crush
ed ice the air is excluded and the ice
water is prevented from reaching the
fish. The effect of the ice through the
paper prevents the development of
any bacteria that might be already
In the fish. In order to attain this re.
suit it Is absolutely necessary that the
fish be treated while alive, or at least
when quite fresh, and it is therefore
better to undertake the treatment on
board the fishing boats.
The fish should be cut while it is yet
alive, the insides removed and the gills
cut away. The head, however. ought
always to be left. The sound. where
such is found, is cut through length.
wise and all the blood under it is re-
moved. The fish must be cut SO fal
back that all the blood accumulated al
the anus can easily be removed. The
fish is then cleaned and scrubbed well
in salt water, inside as we'll as out
with stiff brush until all the blood
stains are removed.
As soon as the fish has lain long
enough for all the blood to run off III
must be carefully observed that nc
bloody water remains in the belly
the fish is packed in the paper, which
must be square in order to obtain the
best packing and each side at leas,
one and one-half times the length OF
