DOG FIGHT CAUSED MUCH
EXCITEMENT THIS NOON.

All he did was growl a little
presto. and a dog fight had started.
The contesting parties were G. F.
Hoffman's bird dog and M. Bucks
bull dog. Hoffman's dog had some
meat in its mouth and was passing
in front of the Brown telephone
building when it spied the bull dog.
Mr.. Bird Dog growled and Mr.. Bull
Dog accepted the challenge. They
clinched. A large crowd had gathered
by this time and efforts we're made
to separate the fighters but all in
vain. Suddenly the dogs separated,
the bird dog making a bee line for
home with the bull dog hot on his
trail. The referee decided the fight
in the bull dogs favor. Over so
people witnessed the fight.

Everyone familiar with Kansas his
tory knows that he has stood for
good things and manly things all
through his political career. Fear
nd honest he has made a record
as one Of the big men of the state
and. he would make a fine member
of the state senate. He is Of the
kind OF men Kansas needs in that
place and his candidacy should meet
with much favor. Topeka would in
him have senator worth while.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
OF THEM LAST NIGHT.

Bugs, little, middle sized and big
ones-millions of them--took Abb
lene by storm last night. The cleo
trio lights on the streets gave the
appearance of heavy snow storm
with the bugs flying about them.
The insects arrived in Abilene about
nine o'clock last evening and re-
manned here through the night.
Along with the bugs were grasshop-
pers and they we're whoppers, too.
The bugs found their way into the
homes of many Abileneites and per-
sons sleeping in tents were given no
end of trouble. Yes, Abilene for once
was buggy" last night.

Be Levied.

In an appeal from Mcpherson
county of a case brought to compel
s, B. Hanson to pay q poll tax the

that court has affirmed the lower
court. The law was snactsd by the
legislature Of 1911. It requires that
all persons between the ages OF ~
and so years except in cities Of the
first class shall pay 3 tax Of 50 q
year to be used In maintaining the
public roads. It also requires cash.
Labor on the roads will not do.

OBITUARY AND HISTORY OF
MRS. NETTIE LAIR MORRIS

Miss Nettie LaL., daughter OF Mr..
and Mrs. H. B. Lair OF this vicinity
was born in Doniphan county Kan
sas, April IL. 1879. She was mar
ried June II, 1908, to Guy L. Morris
of Delphos, a former school mate.
They started new home on farm
northeast of Delphos. A happy home
in which industry and sinceret de-
votion were tremendously blended.
Not only was she a model of do
nestle economy, she was also in
clined to letters and learning, hav-
ing spent considerable time at Camp
bell university. She was model
wife and mother, woman of choic-
est sensibilities. But on Monday, June
3, 1912, she was thrown from the
buggy, receiving injuries which re-
suited in her death Wednesday morn
ing at o'clock. Her son Boyd five
years of age, was also injured, while
painful but not serious. Her daugh-
ter Margaret who was also with her
was thrown out but escaped injury.
The horse did not appear to be
frightened until after the auto had
passed some distance and the driver
had put on more power. The noise
frightened the horse and he became
manageable. AS soon as they
saw the accident they at once re-
turned, taking Mrs. Morris and the
children in the car to their. home.
Mrs. Morris was unconscious when
picked up and did not regain con-
sciousness. The funeral was held
Thursday afternoon from the Pres
byterian church. She leaves a hus-
band, daughter and son, besides q
mother and father. seven brothers
and two sisters, many other rela-
tives and friends both in this vicinity
and around her home at DeIphos.

TT WAS REEFS PLAN.

The Kansas City Star says that
the only man in Washington who
would admit having anything to do
with the movement" to circulate
petitions asking Taft to withdraw
was Congressman Rees of this dis
trict. 1t ic not very clear just what
Mr.. Rees' plan was but the country
received 1t as joke. The Associat-
ed Press which was worked" and
used 1t seriously has retracted and
says it had no real basis.

THE INSURGENTS WIN.
WOOdman Rates viii Not Be Raised
Unless Members Agree.

Thanks to the Illinois legislature
the rates of the Modern Woodmen
will not be raised unless the mem
bers want them raised. The legis-
lature passed a law by the terms of
which any head camp order can only
only become effective by q majority
vote providing that 10 per cent OF
the members ask that 1t be sub
mitted to a referendum. The Wood
men are now engaged in getting 10
per cent OF the members to ask for
a referendum vote on the matter Of
the raise in rates and then they viii
vote upon It. The local camp will
meet next Wednesday evening to
take up the matter and indicate
their attitude on the question. The
action Of the head camp in trying
to bull matters through has provgz
abortive and the head officers who
thought they were making them
selves safe for life viii now have
to reckon with the lodge at the next
head camp. Manhattan Mercury.

BLACK MAN STILL
HOLDS HIS TITLE
IohnsOn-Flynn Fight Stopped in Ninth
Round by Police.
BATTLE WAS DISGUSTING SIGHT
White Mans Foul Tactics Caused
OFFICIAL nterference-Was Fihan.
cial Loss-Ends Fistic Game
In New Mexico.

East Las Vegas, N. M, July 5.-The
most scintillating 'hope" IN the fistic
constellation was snuffed out here and
ink still reigns supreme. Jim Flynn
was not knocked out, but his work
was so crude that even Capt. Fred
Fornoff, Rough Rider, refused to allow
him to butt any more, and barely after
the beginning Of the ninth round the
head of the state mounted police
crawled into the ring, followed by Q
score OF his Rough Riders, and put an
end to the proceedings.
Flynn wasn't knocked Out--he was
saved by the state. But the decision,
according to agreement made by both
fighters severed days ago, went to the
champion, who led in every round and
undoubtedly would have been the ulti'
mate victor.
Disgusting Scene.
1t probably was the most disgusting
fight ever known in ring annals.
BY actual count, the Puebloan butted
Johnson Is times after the fourth
round, and three times. he struck low
deliberately.
AS to the fight, Flynn was like a
baby in its mothers arms before the
dusky champion. The only thing he
Abilene weekly reflector. [volume] (Abilene, Kan.) 1888-1935, 1912-07-11

sustained was ms wonderful physical
condition. AS predicted, Flynn bat
tied away with logged determination,
but not once during the eight rounds
and so seconds did the challenger land
clean blow.
For the first three rounds the cham
pion fought lazily, but when Flynn
introduced his goatlike tactics, the
negro added little more steam to
his punches and soon had Flynn.
bleeding mass.
The Affair Called OF.
When the ninth round was called, it
was plain to all that the affair wasn't
going to last much longer.
They rushed to clinch and Flynn
again used his head. Referee Smith
started toward Flynn as though to dis
qualify him, but by this time Capt.
Fred Fornoff of the state police was
in the ring and the affair was OF.
Financially the fight was a loss
Promoter Curley assumed a debt OF
more than $4,000 by staging the bout,
while it is said that the gross receipts
didn't exceed $4,000. Flynn will not
receive one cent for his work and
some three months of heroic train
ing have been wasted. The crowd did
not exceed 1000, and they left the
Meadow City as rapidly as they could
with many knocks against the lighting
game in general.
The result of the fight marks the
death knell of fighting in New Mexico.
This comes from no less authority
than Capt. Fred FornOff Of the state
police.

STATE AND LOCAL TAXATION
FIGURES FOR DICKINSON.

In response to inquiries fer Of
fetal non-partisan information rela-
tive to the increased cost of state
and local government during the
period from 1903 to 1911 the sec
rotary of state has procured data
compiled by the state tax commits
sion so that exact facts and authoriz-
ed figures may be given to the pub
lie.
An analysis of the statement PRO-
cured from the commission shows
The following facts:
The total increase in the state
tsxaticn to meet all the appropria-
lions of the legislature for the eight
year period including the cost Of the
executive, judicial and legislative de-
partments, the educational. charita-
BILE and penal institutions, new pub
lie buildings and sites, judges of dis
trict courts, and all other purposes,
was $S15,523. And the total increase
of local taxation, including the cost
Of city, county and township goyL
eminent, and the cost of education
in cities and school districts, was
$1O,O58,054.0O.
Segregating the expenses by coun-
ties the tax commission finds that
in Dickinson county the increased
tax collections for state purposes was
$12,44S.5S; and for local purposes,
including the expenses of city, coun-
ty, township and school district pur-
poses, the increased tax collection
was $126,743.S6.
