this total in 1909 it was freely pre-
dicted that it would probably be a
decade, If ever, before this record
was broken. The redskins showing
in these contests Is all the more re-

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
PLAN FOR ATHLETICS

A meeting of the high school girls
vas held yesterday afternoon in the
auditorium for the purpose of plan
ming for the coming athletic season.
That tennis will be played this sea-
son as well as basketball is now a
certainty. The students for some
time past have wished for a tennis
court, so during the summer months
a plot of ground in the rear of the
high school was enclosed for that
purpose.
An inter-class series of both bas-
ketball and tennis will be started
within a week or two; as soon as
each class has selected it's players.
Misses Fletcher, Smith and Holm, of
the faculty, presided at the meeting.

New York, Sept. Eff there was
any doubt about Jim Thorpe's ability
after the pentathlon and decathlon
events in the recent Olympic games
at Stockholm, which he won easily,
it was removed in the all around
championship meet held at Celtic
park here recently. He not only won
seven Of the ten events on the pro-
gram, but in the other three events
he finished second to John Brede-
mus, the great Princeton athlete,
who won the all around champion
ship four years ago.. Thorpe rolled
up 7,47e points for a new worlds
record, the old figures being Sheri-

Fiigen is a fast little forward and will
no doubt make good when he plays with
several other speedy boys. The other

FARMERS TELEPHONES.

A dollar a month does not go far
enough after 1t gets into the telephone
company's treasury to satisfy the
manager who has to pay the upkeep
and operating expenses on a big rd-
raj line system, and keep a little small
change to hand over to stockhold-
ers once In six months. He has to
cut too many corners, and run too
many chances of getting caught short
of bank balance by a sleet storm,
or law suit.
Twelve dollars is too low for farm
ers' line service on the average sys-
TEN, with the quality and cost i'm
proved as 1t has been in the last few
years. II is time to start after this
rate. The farmers can afford to pay
more-why should not they be in
duced to recognize value received?
OF course we know what the farm
ers do when it is proposed to raise
the telephone rate. But can this go
on forever? What is the best way
to get this thing into better shape?

RELEASED FROM PEN.
Back In Hickman
jail on an old Charge.

After serving four years in the Ed
dyville penitentiary on q conviction
for housebreaking. James Wilson was
last week returned to Jail here and at
the next term OF circuit court he will
be tried for shooting Jailer Noonon
during an escape from the Jail when
he was confined there on the house
breaking charge.
The crime for which Wilson IL now
held occurred on Thanksgiving Day.
four years ago. He and four other
desperate men formed a plot to es-
cape Jail. and when Uncle" Joe went
into the Jail to carry their dinner, he
was knocked down, his pistol and
keys taken from him. In the scuffle
that followed the aged jailer was shot
through the hand with his own pis-
tol and the weapon used as a club
with which he was beaten over the
head BY Wilson. He was soon over
powered by the ruffians, and left in
pool Of blood, locked In the Jail.
The jailer was not as badly wounded
as the prisoners thought and soon re-
vived and gave the alarm.
Three of the men made a dash for
the river. at the rear OF Naifeh's
store, where they found a skiff, and
pushed off. Before they could get
the boat under way. Policeman Hack
EFT ran down to where the men were.
and being unarmed. threw a large
rock in the boat. hoping to knock
hole in the bottom of it. This did
not succeed and the men pushed out
in the only boat in sight. Officers
were soon on the river bank and n
battle opened between them and the
fleeing culprits the latters using the
jailor's pistol. During the shooting.
one of the men was wounded In the
leg. but the three managed to escape
into the woods opposite Hickman. Of
ficers followed, but without success.
Later, one of the prisoners who stay
ed with the, wounded man, surrend-
cred, as the latter's wound was grow
ing worse and he could not travel.
This man was Wilson, who 1t is al
legged shot the jailer. After serving a
four-year sentence, he must face an
other trial in the same court house,
without any intervening freedom.
