blanche Bates.

Nobody's Widow was a great hit last
right. Blanche Bates was seen at her
best and the talented actress is even
more popular in Fargo than before.
Nobody's widow isn't hilarious, rip
roaring production, but 1t abounds in
bright lines that get genuine laughter
of the milder and more enjoyable kind.
The first act is the best. The last two
are scarcely as enjoyable, but all are
interesting. The complications aris-
ing during the week of lovemaking
of a man to his wife, from who he had
been separated after a short half an
hour Of welded life, furnished the
events around which the fun was cre-
ated. Bruce McRae was clever as the
husband. Adelaide Prince as Betty
Jackson contributed much to the
.nerriment. The other members OF the
cast were satisfactory.

Chief of Police Keefe: There was
some talk about the brutality of the
arrest Of the two girls Saturday night,
but what can we do without the aid
of patrol wagon? One of the women
collapsed right on the street and we
had to get her TO the police station,
and could not carry her on our backs.
We did the very best that we know
how, but I want to tell you that this
much indeed for there have been
many such cases. l know it doesn't
look right to walk women or men
through the streets, when they are
drunk, but what can we do without

NEAR war STARTS
Arms Used to Secure Possession
of ThreShing Machine.
Now Threshing Is Stopped and
Farmers Are Angry.

Hill City. Kan, Aug. 23.-The
quietude and peace of the beautiful
little city of Penokee, in Graham
county, was rudely broken into frag-
ments by a near war which was in
stituted by the Prout brothers of
Morland against the threshing crew of
a machine claimed by L. w. Bailey
of Penokee. The cause of the dis
turbance was that both parties claimed
to own the threshing outfit.
The elder Prout, Ernest by name,
and Morland's leading attorney, and
his brother Roy, a prominent rancher,
advanced upon the little city and sur
rounded Bailey and his forces while
they were engaged in peacefully firing
up the engine and getting ready to
garner the golden grain. The invad-
ers trained their light artillery, so the
Bailey forces claim, upon the busy
workers and commanded them, in a
rude and angry manner, to instantly
cease, refrain and quit. This the Bal
leyites, after looking down the muz-
zles of guns, decided to do.
Now the warlike Prouts are under
bond to appear in court and explain
their conduct, the threshing machine
is tied up to await the slow process
of the courts to decide the question
as to the rights of property, and the
owners of the stacks of grain are
bowling at the delay, for in Graham
county in the year of our Lord 1912,
the harvest is great and the threshers
are few.

Man who Helped Him.

Knoxville, Tenn, Aug. 23.-A letter
received by Postmaster Carey ?.
Spence, purporting to have been writ
ten by A. DeSmythe, an English lawyer,
asks for information as to the where
abouts of Joseph Harris, a Knoxville
auctioneer, saying that he has been left
an estate worth two million dollars by
William Robinson, who recently died in
Brisbane, Australia.
When Robinson was in Knoxville, 10
years ago, penniless and friendless.
Harris, though stranger, befriended
him and later staked him. Robinson
went to Alaska, struck it rich" and
then went to Australia, but Harris had
not heard from him for several years.
Harris has communicated with Spense
and will get in touch with the English
attorney at once. He was serving in
the Tennessee legislature at the time he
befriended Robinson.

PLAYMATES KILL HIM
Two Boys Confess Murder of Little
Joe Zimmerman.

Kansas City, Aug. 23.-Two playmates
of four-year-old Joseph Zimmerman,
whose lifeless body was found buried in
underbrush in a gully in the northern
part of the city have confessed to kill
ing him. A stone, hurled when the
youngster attempted to follow them
upon a trip into the woods, struck the
lad in the temple
John Farley and John Heinberger,
both 10 years old, after telling many
conflicting stories, finally admitted the
deed. They said they alone were re-
sponsible.
Little joe last Sunday kissed his
mother, Mrs. John Zimmerman, wife of
a railroad engineer, good bye and told
her he was going to hunt bugs" Far
lev and Heinberger declare when they
started on the hunt" they gave the
4-year-old child candy, in an effort to
get him to return home, because they
did not want him with them. When the
youngster continued to follow, the
older boys threw stones at him. One of
the missiles struck the boy and he fell.
The boys say when they saw the lad
was dead, to cover up the deed. they
carried him into the underbrush, where
he was found.
I'VE pulled leaves and branches and
dirt over him until he was all covered
up" John Heinberger sobbed out.
Farley and Heinberger are held by
the police

w. c. Garvey.

In Masonic, in Y. NJ. c. A, and in
circles, Mr.. Garvey has been
closely identified since his arrival in
this city when it was a village nesting
close to the banks of the Kaw. Durins
his entire service on the Santa Fe Mr.
Garvey has taken but three vacations.
His latest absence from his office on
pleasure ended his active career.
1t was in 1870 that Mr.. Garvey start
ed with the Santa Fe in this city. He
worked as a clerk in the superintend-
ent's office. Later he was a clerk in the
Office of the general freight agent.
Then he worked into the position OF
agent and has held that place ever
since. He was away from Topeka only
opening the Office at Winfield. Another
time at Denver, establishing the work
there.
Sold Tickets for Thirty Years.
For thirty years without a vacation,
w c. N Garvey sold tickets in his
Office in Topeka. 1t is estimated that
he collected hundreds of thousands of
dollars in that time. When the office
was small Garvey would get out of bed
at O'Clock in the morning to make"
one, of the trains that passed through
the city at that time. He sold tickets
night and day. He handled all of the
freight work and at times swept and
HCDpou the SIdllOH
Until eight years ago Garvey was
both city passenger agent and freight
agent in Topeka Then the work in
creased, was too heavy for one man and
the Santa Fe placed Garvey as agent
with sixty employees under him. Tom
King was made city passenger agent It
that time.
Garvey was eligible for pension On
the Santa Fe when the system was in
augurated several years ago. But he
refused it. He was not satisfied unless
he was with the road and he remained
morning until $50 in the evening until
his death.
He was an unusually popular man
with the employees of the road that
knew him. He had hatred of discharg-
ing a man in his employ. Rather than
allow his chief clerk H. E. Eversole, 10
fire" an Office employee for incom-
potency, he would place the duties on
other employees until the suspicioned
man would make good. Many times
Garvey has made special trips to head
officers of the road pleading in behalf Of
discharged employees in other depart
ments.
He was a big hearted lovable mar, %
Eversole said today. Eversole has been
in service with him % years-as chief
clerk twelve years.
Garvey was a member of the board
of directors of the Railroad Young
Mems Christian association, the city
Y. M. c. A, leader in Masonry and
a man who has contributed literally
to all charitable work in the city.
He received his first degrees in
Masonry at Tecumseh lodge No. is
and was a master of No. II in Topeka
i'll 1891. At the time of his death he
was in line for head Offices in the
Chapter. He was willing worker in
Masonry and will be greatly missed by
the lodges in this city.
The funeral arrangements have not
been completed. They will be an
nounced later. Mr.. Garvey is surviv-
ed by a wife and two children, Ed
ward B. at Stockton, Cal. and Mar
garet at Topeka.

Thompson had arranged to go to
Cameron, Mo-, today to sell a fruit
farm which he owned there. He was
to have left a short time after the
killing occurred. He even sold a por-
ton of his furniture. 1t was while
settling for the furniture dealer that
he secured the revolver which brought
death to his sweetheart and himself.
He said that he wanted revolver &C
take to Missouri. being afraid to go
without a weapon. He took the revol-
yer as part payment for his goods.
Today the woman sat alone in room
on the second floor of the building
which the two had occupied. She was
seated at a table writing letters when
Thompson entered the room. He walk
ed up behind the woman and shot her
through the head, killing her instantly
Then he turned the revolver on him
self with fatal results.
Thompson is well known here. He
has two brothers. Cal and James
Thompson, both of whom reside in this
CITY.

Blue ARMY LEADS
Red OutpOsts Repulsed and De-
tenders Near Post.
Big Battle of the Campaign Is
Expected Saturday.

Bonner Springs, Kan, Aug. 23.-
Prepared to attempt to regain the ad-
vantage lost yesterday when its out
posts were repulsed near here, the
Red army in the Kansas war ma
neuvers broke camp at Reno early
today with a determination to meet
and defeat the Blues before nightfau.
The Blues, however, were so confident
and so anxious to meet the invading
army and defeat it in full strength
that the commandants executed a Sc
ries of maneuverS calculated to draw
the Reds on
AS the war game now stands, the
Blues have an advantage over the
Reds With the defeat of the Red
outposts yesterday, the Blues marched
their army across the Bonner Springs
bridge and on toward LeaVenworth,
which they are trying to reach before
the Red can attack the fort there.
Unless the Reds should effect an un-
expected maneuver, the Blues expect
no encounter today.
Instead, it is predicted, the entire
strength of the two armies will be
met near Fort Leavenworth tomorrow
to decide the spoils of the maneuvers.
First Blood for Blues.
Six troops of cavalry and a machine
gun company of the Red Army were
driven from an entrenched position on
a hill two miles west of here by the
reinforced advance guard of the Blue
army. The first victory of the Kan
sas war maneuvers, therefore, went
to the Blue forces. The Reds re-
treated until they were Joined by the
entire Red command.
After putting their entire army
across the Bonner Springs bridge, the
Blue army started towards Leaven-
worth. The Reds plan to press the
Blues hard Friday in an effort to re-
gain the points lost in the first en-
counter, and another engagement in
which the full armies of each COM
mand will engage is expected.
AT Fort Leavenworth, where a lit
awaiting the Blue army, which will
protect the fort from the invasion of
the Reds, a close watch was kept on
the maneuvers by means of wireless.
The fort officers knew more of the
relative positions of both armies than
the opposing commands themselves
knew.
Bees Attack Blue Army.
In Camp, Headquarters of the Blue
Army, Aug. 23.-The rainy weather that
started before the departure from Over
land Park and continued until yester-
day has demonstrated beyond a doubt
the efficiency of the quartermaster's
department
Through roads almost hub deep with
mud the supply and baggage trains
have come with virtually no-delay, and
the cooks have had their fires started
before the troops finished pitching their
tents.
Every one comedies that Captain G.
s. Turner. chief quartermaster, is the
busiest man in the command and Moth

the usual multitude of complaints

army. The cavalry had just entered
