Is Lincoln getting back at Denver
for those three straight games lost in
the Bear town when the season
opened2 Rather Lincolns showing
against Denver also show what kind
they took three out of four from the
DIVERS. Bill didn't say whether or
not his daughter, who has never seen
her father lose a game of ball, went
with him on this Denver trip, but he
threatened to take her early last
spring.
If Lincoln would only lose when the
kaws win there might be a chance for
the kaws to get out of the mire. But
it is pretty hard to climb when the
other fellow wins every time you do
the Gears are fighting hard anyhow
and the battles they put on are
worth seeing even when the Kaws
lose. 1t always takes good baseball
to beat them.
"A western League scribe is giving
this department a lot of advertising
for which the writer is truly grateful.
Meanwhile there is the belief that the
writer Knows as much about the To-
cal situation as some of the fellows
who are dishing up advice at long
range. And after all the ball team
doesn't belong to this department.
Jimmy Walsh is still playing a good
game around the middle station and
batting up among the leading hitters
on the kaw team. He works we'll
there with Ryan on the shortstop job.
Ryan was homesick early this spring
and worried until he was almost dis
tracted because of the illness of Mrs.
Ryan. He was released by Gear and
sent home. On top of that the man
ager purchased Ryans ticket, some
thing which doesn't usually happen
when a player is released. And now
to pay Gear back Ryan returned to
Topeka at the first distress call, de-
spite the fact that he expected to play
near home, in Ohio, this summer.
Sometimes it is a pretty good plan to
be good to a ball player.

regret by his local parishoners. The
best wishes of his local congregation
will certainly go with him to his
new charge. Rev. Warner has been
clean cut in his advocates of the
things he believed to be right. He
lacked some of the aggressively SEN
sational characteristics which often
attend ministers as eloquent as he,
but he did his work fully as effect
lively and as fearlessly than more
grandieloquent men might have
done.
Rev. Setter will preach for the
first time Sunday, Sept Is. He has
been in Denver for several years
and has made name for himself by
his constructive activities in his
church there He is forceful. ener-
setic and eloquent. strong In his de-
votion to his work and fearless In
his fight on the things he felt to be
in the way of his work.

forward to his career in the local

FOUND DEAD
IN ORCHARD
AT BRIDGES
William WeymOre, Former Sher
if Of Clay County, Mo-
Been Here Over Year.

William Weymore. 81 years old.
was found dead under a peach tree
At the Shady Dell ranch, south of
Bridges switch. miles east of Grand
Junction. this morning by Ed Wool
sey. son of the proprietor OF the
ranch. Death was due to heart fail
ure. according to the finding of Cor
oner II. b. Porter. who. with Sheriff
Schrader. investigated the case.
Weymore probably dropped dead
yesterday morning after s O'Clock. as
that was the last time he was seen
alive. He had been camping with his
son near the Woolsey ranch. and had
been employed to do some work.
When last seen alive the man showed
no signs of illness and seemed in his
usual frame of mind.
According to his son, the old man
had had an attack of heart trouble
in Wisconsin several years ago. but
since that time had never been both
cred. Sunday he wrestled with sew
eral of the men, and his strength was
source of wonder to them.
The opinion Of the officers is that
Weymore went out to rest under the
tree and fell dead Several bruises
and scratches on his hands and face.
caused by contact with the stumps
of bushes. Indicated that the man
was dead when he fell over.
The old man and his son, who was
working with him. came here a year
ago from Wisconsin. Formerly the
father had been sheriff Of Clay coun-
ty, Mo-, for three terms. He is sur
viyed by his widow, married daugh
ter and his son John. The relatives
have been telegraphed, and the body
probably will be taken east for bur
iai.
The dead mans son was working
on the ranch where his father was
found, but thought that his fathers
disappearance was caused by securing
another position in the peach or
chards. The body had been unno-
ticed by the people who passed it
many times a day. 1t was only 4
few rods from the ranch house.
No inquest was held, as the cause
of death was found to have been
heart trouble.

DENVER GRAND JURY WILL PROBE
ALLEGED FOOD Trust" THIS WEEK
Manager Fletcher Scouts Idea;
Says the Commission Men
Are Making No Money.

Il don't believe there is thing
to it," With this direct statement
Manager Howard G, Fletcher answ-
ers the charges made by Special
Prosecutor John Horne Chiles in
Denver who AYERS that food trust
operates in Denver which holds the
prices of fruit too high for people to
eat it while the fruit sometimes rots
in the orchards on the western slope
for lack of a market.
Mr.. Fletcher cites the prices re-
ceived by the various handlers of a
box of peaches to show the fallacy
of Chiles charges.
A box of peaches nets a grower
fifty cents. Freight and ice to, say.
Missouri river points, costs 23 cents.
The wholesaler demands ten cents
with say, so cents for express charges
in getting 1t out to his customer in a
nearby city. The retailer, handling
perishable stuff, does so at loss and
to protect himself asks a so per
cent profit. All these charges totals
S20S to the consumer for the
peaches, out of which the growers
get so cents. Thus transportation
and ice cost 10 cents, the commits
sion man gets dime, the retailer Is
cents and the growers so cents.
Suppose this box went to Denver,
explained Mr.. Fletcher Fifteen
cents goes to the railroads. &c to the
wholesalers and 35c to the grocery
