STUBBS' SHERIFF IS ARRESTED.
Bramlette Charged With Holding Back
Information.

Columbus, Kan, March 4.-Sheriff
c. E. Bramlette is under arrested on
the charge of dereIiction of duty. The
charge is brought by County Attorney
Charles Stephens and the alleged de-
reelection consists in Bramlette giving
information for alleged violations of
the prohibitOry law to Assistant Attor-
ney General Burr instead of to Ste
phens. Conviction entails a fine of
800 to $500 and forfeiture of office.
Bramlette was released under bond
for appearance in district court Mon
day. The proceeding is not brought
under the Brewster custer law but an
older law which provides the fine and
forfeiture of office when a sheriff fails
to give such information to the county
attorney. Bramlette was appointed
sheriff by Governor w. r. Stubs when
Ralph Martin was suspended, pending
the outcome of the custer suit against
him. Judge Sapp appointed Stephens
when A. L. Majors resigned as county
attorney, while custer suit was pending
against them. There has been con-
slant friction between Stephens and
Majors, each charging the other with
throwing as few fees and as many
difficulties in his way as possible

K. U. walls ROUCHNESS
Nebraska Disregarded Rules. Sunfow-
er Team Members Declare.

Lawrence, Kan, March 4.-The Uni
versity Of Kansas basketball team re-
turned yesterday from an unsuccessful
invasion of Nebraska and the "Aggts
camp at Manhattan. The men are 20
good shape although the two games
at Lincoln were unusually rough. They
are determined to get the goat OF
the Cornhuskers yet although it may
take three games to make the capture.
The members OF the team condemn the
methods of the Nebraska players and
a.llege that they played almost entirely
without the bounds specified by the
Missouri Valley rules.
The games were exceedingly rough
and the NebraSkans showed very poor
craftsmanship in both games" said
Captain Stuckey this morning. They
charged. blocked and held continu-
ously and disregarded almost entireAy
the rules in regard to holding. They
cid just what the Missouri Valley rules
say not to dc-they played the man and
not the ball. However, we will be pre-
pared for them the next time and the
score will be different"
Nebraska and Kansas will play three
games to settle the championship of the
Missouri valley soon. The CornhuSkerS
won the title in the northern division
of the valley and the Jayhawkers the
championship of the southern division
and the three games will be played 20
settle the title of the entire valley.
Three propositions have been MADE
To play the three games in Omaha;
play one in Lincoln, one In Lawrence
and one in Manhattan or to play the
three in Kansas City. The second pro-
position is looked upon more favCrably
and will probably be adopted.

a tight rub in Saturdays basketball
battle at the Nebraska gymnasium, the
pupils of Jumbo Stiehm winning by
the slender margin of 20 to %. After
romping away from the Kansans Fri
day night, the Cornhuskers Saturday
night entered a quintet mostly made
up of substitutes and narrowly escaped
defeat. The Jayhawkers led 13 to II
at the end of the first half and had
played the better basketball. The Ne
braska regulars, going into action dur
ing the final period, set too strenuous
a pace and two of Stiehm's athletes,
Hensike and Hiltner, were ruled out
for four fouls. The score was whip

nosing into the lead and holding the
advantage by virtue of two spectacular
baskets shot by Hascau. Brown of
Kansas put up the feature exhibition,
tossing five goals from the floor and
executing eight free throws Nebraska
has finished it's schedule by winning
twelve successive games from confer
ence opponents, but probably will
meet the Jayhawkers in post-season
series of three games.
