THE FASHIONS
Movement to Get Rid of the
Ridiculous French
Styles

New York, Dec. 24.-A movement
to break away from French fashions
and originate American styles in
women's dress in gaining Roadway
here. Anyone who has seen the pan
nier skirt at its highest pitch, oil the
"hobble" In any n of its extreme
manifestations, will not need to be told
why a change is desirable. tt Q
"sheath gown reyolted a great many
women and the ''hobble'' has created
a real feminine rebellion because of
it's unattractive lines. So, at least,
the leaders of the new movement say.
And the striking thing about the
new movement is that 1t is not, like
earlier attempts at dress reform, being
fostered by faddists. The movement
started innocently enough when a
newspaper offered prizes for the best
original designs of hats, evening gowns,
afternoon gowns and the like, never
ireaming that it was starting a re
bellion perhaps a revolution, against
the sadly obvious tyranny of Partisan
designers. 1t developed at once. how.
ever, that there wac a great body OF
resentment on the part Of New York
women against the different ways they
! had to bow to the mandates of Paris
TO be fashionable. just how far the
movement will spread is of course still

GOLD FIND
In Gregory County Promises a
Rich Yield

Mitchell, Dec. 24.-Old settlers of a
quarter a century ago on the Rosebud
reservation will recall the attendant
excitement which prevailed when gold
was discovered neal Herrick, Gregory
county, and of the failure of the metal
TO pan out. Another gold excitement
is reported from near the same section
At the present time, and there seems to
be no question but what it will be a
big paying proposition. Great quaint
ties OF gold have been found ON Spring
creek, two miles south of herrick. on
the farm of ]. III. Crissman, and the
visible evidence indicates that the
gold covers a long distance up the
creek.
Two expert prospectors from Colo
RADIO worked over u small portion of
the territory, and the rock bearing
gold was shipped to an assay office at
Denver. The report sent back was
that 1t would yield SEE per ton. A big
force of men have been put to work in
the tunnel in the hill and the vein Ia
growing thicker. 1t began
with six inches and as far back as the
work has proceeded ii has reached a
OF eighteen inches, and indica-
tions point to a gradual increase in
depth. A company Of Omaha men has
been formed for the purpose of opening
up the mine to the fullest extent and
they have no hesitancy in saying that
the yield will be large.

PETTY ORDERED TO

Naplanders in Weakened Condition
For First Game With
Nationals.
By SENATOR"

CLEVELAND. June 13.-Jack Ryan,
the veteran backstop and coach Of the
Nationals, left today on a short scout
ing trip, which Is expected to be fin
tshed before Sunday. Manager Griffith
refused to talk about Ryan's mission,
but said that he was on the trail Of

Barney Petty, the former Brownie
i.hurler purchased by Manager Griffith
. for $500, was not here when the Ma
tionals arrived this morning, and the
Climbers leader was a bit chagrined.
Instead, Petty had wired Griffith that
he would hardly be able to report be-
fore Sunday, when he would arrive in
shape to go into the box at once.
i've wired him to report at once" "
said Griffith. "If he wants to remaini

tomorrow or Saturday and his absence
causes me to shift my plans somewhat.

The Naplanders are said to be in ah
badly weakened condition on the eve
OF their four stiff contests with the
Climbers, but Griffith Is taking their
talk with much salt. Joe Jackson Is
suffering from a bad Charley horse,
Grany has a lame shoulder and Griggs
ts limping around on sprained ankle.
Vean Gregg, the crack southpaw twlrl-
er has been ordered by Bonsetter Reese
not to pitch again for ten days and he
ls therefore not expected to face the
Nationals at all on this trip. The Maps
catching department has been playing
poor ball, necessitating the return of
the veteran Livingstone to the game in
the hopes of. steadying the pitchers. In
deed. there is every prospect OF the Ma
tionals making a clean sweep Of the
West, winning seventeen straight C.
tories by cleaning Up the series here.
=. The acquisition Of Barney Petty by
Manager Griffith has caused hard feel
ings in the camp of the Naplsnders. Six
weeks ago Harry Davis offer to pur-
chase Petty from the Browns was
! turned down. When the wavers were
asked on him, Cleveland refused them
and ,theE, greatly to the surprise OF
Davis and Somers II was announced
that the Nationals had bought the

Realizing that a miss meant a triple
