Meade Twice Victorious

Last Friday the High School
Basket Ball team drove to Engle-
wood to take part IN tourna-
ment between Protection, Meade
and Englewood. Medicine Lodi
ge was also there to play Engle-
wood but not to take part in the
tournament. The first of the
three games was between Medi-
cine Lodge and Englewood. The
final score was 16 to "a in Medi-
icine's favor,
The second game was between
Meade and Protection. The
Meade boys simply ran away
with their opponents in the
first half with the result 7 to 26
In the second half the lineup was
changed a little and the boys did
not play very hard to save them
selve for the harder conflict lat
er on. The game ended II to "a
with Meade still on the big end,
After a few minutes interval
Meade, as the winner Of the
Meade-Protection game, and
Englewood met in the final game
i of the tournament. Both teams
entered little tired as a result
of their previous games, but de-
spite this, played very fast
game. The goals made were
few and far between, each team
making in the first half two field
goals, first period ended 6 TO 7 in
Englewood's s favor. In the Sec
ond half, as usual, the Meade
boys came back strong and hit a
whirl wind pace, such that Their
opponents were unable TO break
When the ball began to drop
through the Meade basket prct-
ty often Englewood gave up and
there was very little footing
from the large crowd in attend
ance. Time was called with
Meade % and Englewood 10.
Meade's guards shut out the
Englewood forwards completely
in this session.
The lineup for the two games
was;

manner satisfactory to all con-
ccrned.

Terrible Accident.

OhS VI eHS oduuCSl dCSlucHlS
which it has become our duty to
note happened last Sunday morn
ing when two souls, without a
minutes warning, took their
flight into eternity.
Just how the accident happen
ed will never be known, but from
what can be reasoned from
the appearances, of the room,
the following seems reasonable:
Mr.. and Mrs. Wallace Miller. of
Atkinson, Illinois, came to Meade
County about eighteen months
ago and filed on a claim twenty
miles south of Meade. A COM
Portable room, possibly 12x14,
partly dug into the ground and
partly above ground, served as
their residence while on the
claim. Two oil cans were kept
in the room, one containing coal
oil, and the other gasoline. 1t is
supposed that in building the
fire Sunday morning, Mr.. Miller
intended to use coal oil to urge it
reached for what he thought was
the coal oil and poured some in
to the fire, an explosion instant
ly followed, blowing the bottom
out of the can and throwing the
burning gasoline over both Mr..
and Mrs. Miller and killing
both. The explosion was so ter
rife that it bulgcd the roof and
tore u hole in one Of the walls
through which smoke immediate
" escaped. Mr. Fred Griffin,
brother to Mrs. Miller, and who
lived short distance away, saw
the smoke and supposi " the
house to be on fire, went over
Immediately. Oa entering he
found the room filled with gas
and smoke which was almost suf-
locating and the smoke. binding.
He was unable TO reopen the
door. so broke out window,
clim bed out. went around and
by this tins the ga, had escaped
sufficiently ena bic him to force
the door open. BY this time
his son Francis arrived and the
two bodies were carried out.
The body of Mrs Miller was
slightly burned about the face
and arms, while that of Mr..
Miller MAS badly burned about
the fatc. Death is supposed to
have been instant.
Word was sent 10 Meade and
Undertaken Fletcher and C0rOn-
er f.. A. Twist went down.
The bodies were brought to
Meade Tuesday and on Wednes-
day were taken to Atkinson, Iii
nois where interment will be
made.
Mrs. Miller was a sister to
Mrs. Tom Walters who lives
near Fowler, and is quite well
know in Meade. Mr.. Miller, by
trade carpenter, has worked in
Meade and was we'll acq tainted.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller we're plan
ming on coming TO Meade within
the next few days to visit friends
here, then going to Fowler to
visit Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Walters
and would then return to Atkin-
son where they have nice home.

AS a result of all the snow and
rain we have had this winter,
the ground is said to be thor
oughly soaked to depth of be-
tween FIVE and six feet. If this
moisture can be held in the
ground it will mean millions to
Kansas.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1912-03-28

Mr.. Miller was an only child. and
his parents were counting the
days for hisreturn. Mrs. Miler's
mother was equally anxious,
her father being dead. Mr.. Mi
Ter was about thirty eight years
old and his wifetwo years young
err.
The unfortunate couple we're
both of fine families, and were
highly respected in the commu-
nifty IN which they lived and by
all who knew them, and their
death came as a shock to the en-
tire community.
Mr.. and Mrs. Tom Walters
started for Atkinson, Illinois on
Tuesday and Mr.. and Mrs. Fred
Griffin accompanied the remains
Wednesday.
The relatives have the smypa-
thy of everyone who knows
them.

Under orders issued by Actang
Mayor Lawrence G. Dalton the eitys
dog warden and -poundmaater must
not catch dogs on Sunday and ft Is
tnot likely he will make further at

ducks, etc. The acting mayor Issued
Ia letter %forbidding Albert Leonard
from working for the city on the
sabbath and that he return two
geese to Mrs. J. Conyery, OF New

The orders were complied with
and Mrs !. Convery paid Twenty-Five
cents under protest for the release
OF each OF the geese. She could not
see why she should pay for their re-
turn as she ~contended Leonard had
no right to take them. When she
read the NEWS yesterday afternoon
and saw an article wherein Recorder
|Kehoe warned the dog catcher about
taking geese and the like. she told
Leonard,s assistant she wanted the
return OF the lfty cents she had
paid.
Leonard maintains that the wom-
an should pay So for the return OF
each OF the geese. When he was In
formed last night she wanted fifty
cents back he said she would have e.

WOMAN
FACTORY BILL
Extra Hours Permitted in
Stores at Christmas.
fFro,n tne Na..ys cgrrr.ponaen..J


Trenton, March 5.-After a lively
debate last night Senator Fielder
succeeded in lacking an amendment
to the Edge bill limiting the hours
of employment of women In facto-
ries, stores, l~aundries and restaur-
ants, The original measure provid-
ed for a ten hour day with hours
at night limited to eight. Senator
Fielder offered an amendment pro-
viding for extra hours OF work In
mercantile establishments during
the week preceding Christmas and
this was adopted by the vote Of IL
to 6.
The senator c~ontended that this
amendment was necessary for the
stores In Jersey City to compete
with those in New York. He offered
a second amendment, which was de-
.feased. This permitted women to
work twelve hours a day for two
days a week, with sixty hours as the
limit for a week. This amendment
was proposed in the interest of a
big Jersey City laundry which
handles the linen OF ocean steam
ships and while they are in dock for
a day or two before resailing, the
senator said, 1t was necessary to
work overtime two days a week
This laundry, he maintained, WAS
very we'll conducted Hnd the pro-
prietors favored restricting the
hours OF women, but 1t desired the
law to be so 1t could take car of
Its business.
Senator Edge opposed any amend
ment. He pointed out that New
Jersey lawmakers have been ex-
tremely careful to regulate the
working hours of men, but until
now have ignored the working
ONE He claimed there are TO-
900 working women In the state
and the fact chat many Of them are
