WASHBURN NEWS.

The Washburn basketball team
will play the William Jewell team
this evening at the Thomas gym
nasium AS a curtain raiser a game
will be played between the freshmen
and sophomore girl teams. The first
game will start at 1880 and will be
Immediately followed by the varsity
game.
William Jewell and Washburn have
met once before this season and the
Missouri boys won by a score of 20
to 16. In the first half Washburn
had the lead, 16 to IA, but failed to
score a single point the second period
while William Jewell added six to
their credit. 1t should be remem-
bersd also that Washburn was away
from home on a hard trip.
Tonight will finish what has been
a disastrous season for Washburn in
basketball. Starting with all of last
years team, which had tied Baker
for the Kansas championship, pros
poets were bright for an all victorious
and state champion team. But for
some reason or other the team has
played erratically, rarely showing its
promised form and has finishing
losing season.
William Jewell comes with a rec
ord of ten consecutive victories, but
Washburn will endeavor to pull down
the big end of the score, notwith
standing the fact that the team is
badly crippled. Captain Smiley and
Bishop are both sick and will be I'M
ableto play. Janney has also been
sick, but will start the game. Coach
Driver gave out the following lineup
to start the game: Forwards, Crum-
bine and AIcNeish; center, CLANCY;
guards, Janney and Trobert.
The girls game, which will be
played as curtain raiser, is the first
of a series of three games between
the freshmen and sophomores for the
class championship and is the first
girls game to be played in the gym
nasium this year. The other two
games will be played soon.

Another question is put up to
Judge Langan which will require
some study, Mr.. Teiderman who is
here wants to side step the service
of writ from his wife who wants
to officially notify the gentleman
that he is to be sued for divorce
While he is here the lawyers for the
lady wants to serve the writ on the
husband. He objects. and his at
to:ney claims he is immune. as he
is here on legal business OF another
nature and that it would be an un-
due process of advantage
As kinks are as common in law as
troubles in a print shop, the Judge

ton out and also determine how
long this man from the east can
hinge, on Nevada soil before he is
served with a process. Its a tangle

problem under, his pillow for a few

MOTHER GETS CHILD
IS THE DECISION
Judge Langan Tempers Justice
With Mercy This Morning

, as TO the character OF the estranged
parents was introduced, and the
Judge took the whole score under
advisement,
His decision is masterlul i'll many
ways. 1t sets up that the states
have certain rights. thai Judgment
must be exercised in the fitness OF
the contending parties He states:
1T seems that the interests and
welfare OF the child is the primary
and paramount issue by which this
court must be guided. Con-
sidering the mass OF contradiction
cannot conclude that either party
is unfit to have the custody of the
child
The subject OF the controversy
is little girl under 4 years OF age,
and at such age requires particular
ly mothers care and attention
such care and attention which can
not be bestowed by a father.
And where not sufficient reasons
exist. (and none exist in this case)
for depriving her of the care and
nurture of her child OF her child. II
would not be a proper exercise OF
discretion in any court to violate
the law OF nature in this respect
* The writ is therefore de
MED and the mother Is awarded the
child"
Following the decision Attorney
Platt asked the Court to set aside
certain days or time when the father
could see his child. This matter will
be adjusted sot hat Ticderman will
have his inning.

L. hiring the past week Wills
hrougher has cut his first crop oil
grain from his farm north of this
city The grain was gathered with
a header and it makes a splendid
crop with a healthy looking stack
1t will require the threshers to finish
the job
. Up to this spring when Mr..
Brougher took this 80 acres over it
was simply waste of sagebru sh.
No one regarded it as worth while
to attempt dry farming and it was
considered quite a joke when Mr.
Brougher put crew OF men to
work and cleared the ground. Many
predicted that when he planted the
seed that it was thrown away. In
places the grain was. very heavy and
the grain is as we'll filled as any in
this valley. 1t was strictly dry farm
ed, giving such encouragement that
crop will be planted this fall
if possible.
1t is generally found that the first
year blowing is not up to the stan
dard and that each year the ground
improves This will undoubtedly
follow in the Brougher farm.
Aside from this grain crop Mr..
Brougher has planted about ten
acres to potatoes. They are being
watered from the wells dug this
summer and the water raised by the
big wndmills on the place. Mr.
Blackwell, who knows something of
windmill service declares that the
big mills have solved the water
problem in Eagle Valley. He states
that one of the mills will do hve
times the work of the ordinary wind
mills. as the big pumps lift all the
water that is in the wells. 10 his
mind the proposition is to develop
the quantity of water necessary to
supply the big wheels. AS ten

The seed for the potatoes came
