LOST TO RENO

Our Cnanute basket ball team
made a good fight at Lawrence
beat three teams but got beat by
the Reno club in the final, score
being IS to II.
The girls after playing three con.
test games were not in very good
shape to meet their old rivals OF
last year and the year before.
We are informed that three of
our girls were suffering with
sprained ankles received in the
other games and were really not in
shape to play the final.
Guess it would be we'll simply to
say we got beat this time but will
lick EN- next time. Our girls have
held the championship now for two
years and it could not be expected
that there would not be turn in
the road some time. They have won
two out of three from the Reno
girls so they should be rec 7gnized
as the best team in the state if they
did make little slip this year.

Sunday Was a Day
of DRINKS Here
The Whiskey Demon Seemed
to be Loose---Seven or Eight
Victims Are in Limbo.

From some cause deamon alcohol
seemed to break out afre h Sunday.
We do not know whether the bright
sunshine had the effect of thawing
out the latent Devil in the hearts of
man or had the effect of livening up
the activities OF the imps of his
satanic majesty who make 1t busi-
ness to peddle He'll broth to poor
week mortals, any way the glorious
bright Lordsday was desecra:ed by
the cursing and ribald talk of the
inebriated.
The police got busy and brought
in seven of the poor deluded men
who either can't control their ap-
petites or think it makes men of
them to make fools of themselves.
Personally we never could under
stand why men do these things, but
we suppose they get great deal of
fun out of it and think the little
matter of lying in Jail night or
two and putting up So or $9ls cheap.

fore Police Judge Wilfong and

J. F. jerseys Store
Robbed Monday
Front of the Store Smashed in
and the Thieves Then
Helped Themselves.

The gun and notion store of F.
Jersey was thoroughly burglarized
Monday morning. The robbery was
evidently committed between five
and six O'Clock that morning. Mr..
Jersey, contrary to his usual Gus
tom, had left his windows full of
valuable goods over Sunday and it
was too much of a temptation for
somebody. The thief or thieves as
the case may be, smashed both the
windows and then all he had to do
was to use his best judgment in Sc
lecting goods and raking them into
a grip. Whoever it was used good
discrimination in making his selec-
tions, though in his hurry he over
looked couple of high priced re-
volvers that were handy. He
dropped one revolver on the side
walk that was picked up by a
passerby.
Mr.. Jersey figures his loss at
from $I5o to $aoo, consisting main
ly of revolvers, watches and rings.
There was plenty more valuable
merchandise in reach but the carry
ing capacity of the thief seemed
limited. Mr.. Jersey is Offering a
reward of $50 for the capture of
the thief and return of the property.
Since the robbery was committed so
near daylight, the thief had but a
short start and it looks like he
should be caught.

A BEAUTIFUL DAY

The weather Sunday was idea
and many took advantage of it to
visit the river and creeks in order to
locate fine fishing spot for future
pleasure. The road lea ding to the
east river bridge was crowded with
people throughout the day and many
rode out that we saw walking back.
Guess the sun was too hot for rid
ing. Yves Phillips reported every
thing lovely for something doing in
the bass line in the near future, and
Wes is a mighty good guesser along
that line. At Aliens lake north of
town, one man whose name we will
not mention, did no good with the
hook and line, but seeing a ten
FOUNDER swimming around in the
shallow water jumped in after him
but the fish only gave him good
cold water bath and winked the
other eye and went swimming off.

Bank to Buy Park Bond Issue

The bid the First Nationa al
Bank of Chanute, the only local
bidder, was accepted by the
council Monday evening over that
of eleven bond companies for the
purchase of the $4,000 issue of
bonds authorized for the purpose OF
purchasing and improving two park
sites by the vote of the citizens of
Chanute in January. The banks
offer was o-t6 percent premium
or $500. 6z5.
This bid was not the highest sub
mitted but was accepted by the
council after consid erable dis
cussion pro and con On the ground
that there was much less danger of
delay in doing business with local
parties or that negotiations would be
held up through Misunderstanding
or technicalities. The question
whether the outside companies
understood the requirement that
the 20 year bonds might be paid
after 10 years entered into the con-
sideration. A motion to accept the
bid of L, D. Laning of Kansas City
for premium of S476 was
eventually voted down for these
causes. A motion to reject all bids
was also made at one time. The
bids ranged in amount of premium
from $3r2.5o to $597 50, The
bids were submitted by Chicago
firms and one from Toledo, OHIO
as we'll as from Kansas City.
The city in accepting the bid of
the local bank will be to the expense
of the printing of the bonds between
$50 and $40. The bond ordinance
which is to be introduced on first
reading next Monday will include
the requirement that the purchaser
pay the accrued interest on the
bonds fromtheir date or February /.
When the bonds are properly signed
by the city's representatives and
registered with the state auditor the
city should immediately receive the
purchase price as agreed.
