AUTO WITHOUT LIGHTS
COLLIDES WITH HORSE
AND RIDERS

Last Saturday evening, about
O'Clock, an automobile driven at a
high rate OF speed and carrying no
lights ran into a horse and two boys
on west second street, injuring the
horse so badly that it had to be
killed and also injuring the boys.
The boys are Ben Terrell and VIII
Porter of Route No. /. The horse
belonged to Mr., Meredith, who lives
near Porter's.
Ben Terrill was hit in the face by
the horses hoof and the cork of the
shoe cut his face terribly and knocked
his nose out of line. The Porter boy
suffers a mashed foot, strained back
and perhaps some more serious injur-
les. lie was badly shaken up and is
very nervous.
Mr., Terrill has gone to his home
but young Porter is still in the Lib
eral hospital.
There were many machines upon
the streets as the great crowd was
being transferred from the lail
grounds, but most of them had lit
their lamps, in compliance with the
law This particular car had nc
lamps and after hitting the horse and
boys was driven on even faster than
before, as ii nothing had happened.
From reports it is evident that the
driver is known, and it Is possible
there will be something done.

we-Ten Thousand People Witness The
Fair The Last Two Days

Liberal and Seward County may
we'll feel proud of this, their first at
tempt at Southwest Fair" 1t may
we'll be called splendid success.
Visitors from Texas and Oklahoma
united with visitors from our own
state in saying that the Southwest
Fair is we'll APP to some OF the best
fairs they haveFeSer attended.
Wednesday ana Thursday the at
tendance was rather small, as usually
the first two days are at all fairs
so many things to do and see to,
which can be done at no other time.
Friday everything was in shipshape
and the crowd came. There were
$500 present on the third day Of the
Fair, Saturday, the last day, wit
messed the largest attendance, there
being something ike $500 visitors
present.
And the weatheT-Kansas Just be-
haved beautifully so far as the wealth
er was concerned Many of us were
fearful just what our state would
take notion to do during this, our
first Southwest Fair. She truly
dressed herself In her Sunday best
and added ribbon or two.
The race track was dandy Ey-
eryone spoke highly of it. In fact
It was one of the best things made
for the fair, If not the best Zone
of the finest west of the Mississippi" "
said one of the old time race horse
men.
The first thine that took our eye
as we entered the grounds was the
Poultry Exhibit. There were chick
ems here from Beaver, Stevens and
Seward counties, All colors and all
kinds and all pedigrees. One great
big, yellow rooster gave us most
cordial welcome when we entered
kept it up during our stay--and gave
us parting farewell as we departed.
We hope he won prize.
The Agricultural Department had
fine display. We heard some
doubling Thomases say they didn't
believe we raised some of the displays
in tte Southwest They were indeed
ui'prised when told that every display
actually was raised here. The Ag-
ricultural College helped greatly in
this department Many parents as
they examined this display, expressed
the wish that they might be able to
send their children 10 this great
school Mr.. Steiner was besieged
with questions regarding it. Our Ag-
ricultuTal College deserves credit for
what it is trying to do for our state
In every way. This exhibit did a
great deal toward showing the people
Of Kansas what this school is trying
